No matter where it comes from, the saying means "you don't know how this is going to end until the final minute."
Yet more information:"The adage sounds like it sprung from the mouth of a weary opera patron, but it was actually coined by a sportswriter and broadcaster named Dan Cook."Cook covered the NBA's San Antonio Spurs in the 1970s. In 1978, the Spurs were playing the Washington Bullets in the playoffs and down three games to one. Cook, who had used the witticism once before in a column, repeated it on the air as a way to cheer up Spurs fans. Alas, despite making it close, the Spurs lost the series.
"Bullets coach Dick Motta apparently liked the saying and used it to motivate his own team. The Bullets went on to win the championship, proving that while "it's not over 'til the fat lady sings," sometimes inspirational clich�s are "too little, too late."
This explanation has allegedly been recorded in the Library of Congress By the way, I was alive during the Kate Smith days and also heard that attribution a few years later, but before Cook used it in the '70s. It makes more sense than the opera reference since many operas do not end with an aria by the strongest female diva, fat or not.
The expression "Lady Jane" often refers to Lady Jane Grey, the nine-day queen of England in 1553, who is a historical figure associated with themes of innocence, tragedy, and political intrigue. Her brief reign and subsequent execution have made her a symbol of the dangers of ambition and the volatility of power. The phrase is sometimes used in literature and popular culture to evoke these themes or to refer to someone who is perceived as noble yet tragically doomed.
