She is a pop singer but she pulls it off. She must have had classical training. She can sing opera just like Nicole Scherzinger, who also had classical training. This aria at the end is computer generated. The notes were separately sung and then assembled by computer. It was deliberately written so it could not be sung by a human. Too wide a range and too fast to be sung. I think Jane pulls it off as her vocal range must be very wide. It is the mad scene of Il Dolce Suono sung by soprano Inva Mula.
I am bad but I think she is naked under that dress.
Actual footage of Florence Foster Jenkins singing. Among students of music she was known as the bird lady. I wouldn't be surprised that Jean Stapleton who played Edith Bunker copied her voice. I think her records were successful. There was no TV yet and the elite had only opera, musicals and movies. Her records were played in parties to liven things up. The records served as amusement i.e. today's comedy.
