Perhaps Jenkins was thinking she was singing (translated) as ‘Una joke, too far’
ellerveira says :Listening to her “sing” Una Voce Poco Fa is a unique experience.
Anybody on the menu for ‘Welsh Rabbit’?
It’s what I read on her website…she’s a “crossover classical” singer. She’s not my type, but she has the Brittany, Christina, Baby Spice look that the “young people” (I’m 22 by the way) are supposed to go for. I’d rather people listen to her than the singers I mentioned above. And once they realize that she’s a joke then they might graduate to real opera singers…like Renee Fleming. lol
Why Harry – it’s not like you to be so nasty.
Unless C Z-J has been lying about her age for more than 20 years, she *is* 39. She made a big splash playing Peggy in 42nd Street (she was the cover and took over) in 1987, and not a newspaper in sight failed to mention that she was only 18.
Thank you for the spit-take (laughing) all over my computer this morning. I needed this.
Hooterdammerung indeed.
“Dontcha poke it in too fa”
-the Classical Crossover translation
of Una Voce Poco Fa.
You know, if she really IS 39, tho she is lovely, KZJ actually looks older than 38 – I would have put her at mid forties easily!
And, in show business, it is NOT unusual to start lying about your age from the first debut!! The very early debut and open publication help support the case later on!
It is to laugh.
Apropos of nothing—I just found this on YouTube and this seemed the place to share it: Helen Traubel on “What’s My Line?”

Why Ruxton, I was just fitting my warming up stride!
