"People may say I can't sing, but no one can ever say I didn't sing."

Roppant tanulságos felfedezés, hogy minden kornak megvolt a maga Uhrin Benedekje, sőt: Florence Foster Jenkins bőven túlszárnyalja az ittas fesztiválozók előtt boldogan tátogóelődeit.

From her recordings, it is apparent that Jenkins had little sense of pitch and rhytm and was barely capable of sustaining a note. Nonetheless, she became tremendously popular in her unconventional way. Her audiences apparently loved her for the amusement she provided rather than her musical ability.

She dismissed the laughter which often came from the audience during her performances as coming from her rivals consumed by "professional jealousy." (tovább wiki)
