Florence Foster Jenkins - the world's worst opera singer

I'd never heard of her until I read today that there is a film soon to be released about her, starring Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant.

EDIT: I meant to add that I don't know of a country that has more people who mistakenly they can sing than Thailand...

Looks like it might be an interesting film (especially with Meryl Streep starring in it), but I hope there's not too much singing. We get subjected to similar stuff from the old folks' home next door, when visitors turn up at the weekend to 'entertain' them. :(
