Presumably it comes from opera and a soprano blasting out an aria at the end. I once heard someone say it was "named" after Dame Joan Sutherland.

Kate Smith??

[Moi]

Yep, Kate Smith is correct.

But apart from the reason she was rather large, how did the expression come about?

She always finished events by singing God Bless America hence "It ain't over till the fat lady sings".

Might need a clue, sonny

Was it that lead singer chick from the pretenders with the jet black hair and the overgrown fringe?? Ummm Chrissie hind or something like that? She has
very distinctive vocals. Not a big fan of U2's latter stuff but I really like the albums 'Boy' and 'War'. Gritty edgy stuff before they became mainstream pop.
