A stock character in anything even very loosely inspired by Film Noir, and often the first thing that comes to mind when people hear the word "Femme Fatale". Every lounge will have a sultry female singing a sultry song (or Torch Song). Her favorite outfit is a long evening gown with a slit up the side, pearl necklace, and more than likely high heels and opera gloves. At some point, she will probably be seen Sitting Sexy on a Piano. If she becomes a named character, she will often be the Veronica in a Betty and Veronica romantic subplot. She could also just be there in the background because every lounge that has anything approaching a Film Noir feel must have this trope. She is always surrounded by an air of melancholy. This could be because she herself is melancholic, or because the lonely male hero experiences a connection with her while she is singing but cannot have her. She tends to be out of the main hero's reach perhaps because she is a dangerous Femme Fatale, because she is already involved with someone else (usually a villain), or simply because she is so aloof. This character can be very useful for highlighting a feeling of loneliness, because her sultry songs will often create a feeling of a connection between the singer (which it means in French) and the listener, but circumstances will prevent that feeling from becoming a true connection. For that reason, this trope is a favorite of Film Noir, a genre that thrives on a feeling of melancholy and stoic loneliness. The rarely seen male version is known as a chanteur. It's also possible for a male Crossdresser to play the role in drag; in such cases, he's likely to be Camp Gay, and (unless it's played for laughs) attractive when made up as a woman. A full-blown Drag Queen probably isn't a straight example, but may often want to invoke the trope's imagery in his own performances. A saloon singer may fill a similar role in Westerns, and a comely barmaid singing Irish ballads and sentimental songs may take the role in an Irish pub (be it in Ireland or, at least as often, abroad) Compare Glamorous Wartime Singer, Lounge Lizard. |

In season two of Preacher, Jesse meets a woman named Lara who fits this trope to a T - a sexy, aloof night club singer with hints of having had a sad life. She's inadvertantly ended up in the crosshairs of some dangerous people, and Jesse have to save her. Except at the end of the episode it turns out that it was all a lie - she's actually a Grail operative named Featherstone, and she was sizing Jesse up for being one of the potential Messiahs that the Grail is sworn to eliminate. | |

Carol MacLaine in Deadly Premonition. She owns one of the bars in town, the bizarrely-named Galaxy of Terror, and frequently performs on its stage. She only has one song, which goes from being in coherent English to... not so much. It's the only thing in the game that's not subtitled, even in cutscene form. | |

Rebekah del Rio, as herself, in Mulholland Dr., with the twist that it's actually Looping Lines - "It is all a recording" — and del Rio collapses toward the end of the song, which keeps playing. It's safe to say that David Lynch loves this trope. And see below under Live Action TV for another example from his body of work. | |

In the episode "Love, American Dad Style" Hayley Smith on American Dad! becomes this when Roger hears her singing in the shower and asks her to sing at his bar. Hayley is voiced by Seth MacFarlane's sister Rachel, and like her brother has a great voice that's well suited to old jazz standards.

Gina in Porco Rosso is a very clean and straight-laced example, but she does have the glamour (with lingering shots of her large earrings slowly turning as she sings), the loneliness, and the romantic melancholy. She is both the owner of her hotel and the singer in its bar, who in her opening scene sings a melancholy-sounding French song. It's later revealed that she's a widow three times over, with all of her husbands being pilots. | |

Naturally, Cain puts the moves on her, thinking to impress her by revealing the identity of the Inquisitor on the planet... the rogue trader at the reception (who is an Inquisitorial ally... but an actual rogue trader). He thinks she's quivering with fear, she's trying not to bust her gut laughing. | |

Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman has an unnamed singer at the Penguin's club swaying from side to side and winking while singing a song with the lyrics "Betcha never thought we'd get this far. Betcha never, never ever, betcha never thought you'd touch my heart." The unnamed singer who performs "Betcha Neva" in the Iceberg Lounge is actually an Ink-Suit Actor of French pop star Cyndi Almouzni. | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): Antoinette Brown is an alluring lounge singer who specializes in Torch Songs and performs in a long, glamorous evening gown, a gold necklace and high heels when she's on stage. She's the "Veronica" in the Betty and Veronica rivalry that she has with Louis de Pointe du Lac (the "Betty") over Lestat de Lioncourt (the "Archie"). | |

Francesca in Ghost Ship is the typical sultry lounge singer, but on a luxury Italian cruiseship. She participates in the massacre on the ship and uses her wiles to seduce men to their deaths, and as a ghost is serving the primary villain to lure more men to their deaths. | |

Justice League Unlimited features a Chanteur example. After fending off an onslaught of animals created by Circe, Batman suggests making an exchange for returning Dianna, who was transformed into a pig, to normal. Circe agrees only in exchange for something incredibly precious from Batman — something he's concealed and can never be regained when gone. Something soul-shattering. He pays the price by revealing a suave singing voice in a performance of "Am I Blue?" so touching it moves both Zatanna and Circe to tears. | |
