That's pretty much the worst thing I've ever heard.

I'm wondering two things: 1. Who is the bright one who writes the subtitles on cat pictures like that? and 2. Is this a real woman? With a real singing career? I hope not. lol

The cat pictures are probably from icanhascheezburger.com.
Ms. Jenkins was from the 30s or 40s, and she was super rich and thought she could sing opera. She booked herself at Carnegie Hall one night, and folks were practically falling out of the balconies, laughing.
She thought they were extremely moved by her voice. :-|
