No wonder her singing's bad...


...if the music they give her to perform to has short staccato notes at rapidly-fluctuating pitches, like that Mozart piece in the Carnegie Hall performance!

We talking about coloratura? (I haven't seen the film yet). Well, but other people can sing it, very well. She just couldn't, bless her, but she thought she could.
