The problem? Florence was bad. Not merely passable or mediocre. She was ferociously terrible. She had no sense of rhythm, pitch or tone and her attempts at singing arias resulted in high-pitched shrieking. She was so legendarily bad that she ended up with a MisaimedFandom - who came to see her perform because of the [[{{Narm}} unintentional comedy]]. Believing they loved her singing, and believing she was actually talented - partly because of the BlatantLies of her husband St Clair Bayfield (Grant) - Madam Florence bought out a thousand seats at Carnegie Hall to give a performance dedicated to the soldiers of World War II.
