Discuss Florence Foster Jenkins

Bad singing sounds like what the real Jenkins did:

I mean it took me right out of the picture when instead of this:

"She is described as having great difficulty with such basic vocal skills as pitch, rhythm, and sustaining notes and phrases.[19] In recordings, her accompanist Cosmé McMoon can be heard making adjustments to compensate for her constant tempo variations and rhythmic mistakes,[20] but there was little he could do to conceal her inaccurate intonation. She was consistently flat, sometimes considerably so. Her diction was similarly substandard, particularly with foreign-language lyrics. "

We get Streep ATTEMPTING to do her worst with her amazing voice, and failing considerably.

Anyone else?

Sissy Spacek created a flat-singing, barely talented performer in this 1978 TV movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQiIiZC28ok&t=36s I find it disturbing and saddening that it's NOT listed here on TMDb, but can be found on IMDb and YouTube.
