Rebecca Del Rio's performance of Llorando, a Spanish language version of Roy Orbison's song Crying was a goose bumps moment for me. I first saw her sing the song in the David Lynch film Mulholland Drive in 2001 and the scene still haunts me.

But Lynch is engaged in a game of psychological trickery to deliberately manipulate our emotional response to her singing. Toward the end of the song Del Rio passes out on the stage and we learn that during her passionate stage performance, she was merely lip synching a pre-recorded version of the song.... but her operatic voice is stunning even if the song is pre-recorded.
