France's First Lady: Her Music Sucks!
Filed under: Anglophilia > Music Minute > Francophilia
Former supermodel and French folk/pop music star Carla Bruni's (France's first lady) latest album drops in the UK on Monday. This is her third album.
Can you imagine the hell an American president would get if he brought a model or pop star into the White House?
Anyway, the British press corps were sent advance copies of the CD and boy did theyhate it!
Let's call it a pretty unanimous thumbs down from the country's most respected media outlets.
Here's a little sampling of what the Brits had to say…
- The Independent newspaper was unimpressed with her music, saying the former supermodel came across as "simpering and weedy". Headlining its two-page review "First lady… of schmaltz", the reviewer said it was "all very pleasant, and unsurprisingly inoffensive… but none of these arrangements, despite perhaps stretching Bruni's personal envelope, exactly breaks new ground."
- The Guardian said the listener may have trouble separating the memory of the stately presidential wife on show in London from the singer expounding on multiple lovers and alluding to cocaine.
(Sidenote: Carla received rave reviews in Britain for her beauty and clothes when she accompanied Prezzie Sarkozy on a state visit in March.)
- The Guardian went on to say, "The hardest part about listening to Carla Bruni's new album is somehow erasing from your memory that woman in the demure, dove-grey Dior coat, flat shoes and little black hat who had us all swooning back in March…When she sings, in 'Je Suis une Enfant', that she remains a little girl 'despite my 40 years, despite my 30 lovers', for instance, that doesn't exactly sound what you might call presidential."
Why aren't any of our first ladies ever that 'interesting'?

One day maybe you'll be the first lady!
first! go to hell perez!
WHO FUCKING CARES?!
1st!! supermodels= no singing. end of.
I dont think her music suck i think its a little bit different jajja
i like karlas music i really do
1st! supermodels = no singing
France isn't a real country so it really doesn't matter what she does. They are just waiting to give up to the next aggressor
They must hate her beautiful guts in France !!
How dare she look that great, Bitch!
Uhhh, Nancy Reagan was an actress, idiot.
No one cares about your little "two cents" Perez.
I have her first album and it's great!!!!
Oh please you had Jackie O !
Don't forget McCain's currenrt wife was a model!!!
The fact that she is married to the President of France makes people so keen on dissing her music. If you ever listened to it, Perez, you'd know that it's actually decent. But, then again, you don't know what good music is.
An on-set source revealed: “It’s absolutely classic Madonna. Probably the raunchiest stuff she has ever done. It leaves nothing to the imagination and will be very controversial.
“Britney and Madonna are unwrapped like mummies, to appear together almost naked apart from tiny leather bondage pants and knee-high boots.
“They then dance closely together, pressing their hands and bodies together.
“There will be big rows over whether it is sexy, shocking or both.”
Britney has been filming scenes at a Hollywood studio and was snapped leaving a nearby hair salon looking more spruced up than she has for ages.
It’s good that Madonna is helping her rebuild her career, but I’m still not convinced I’m ready to see her stripped down to her smalls.
The Toxic singer will also perform to Madge’s 1995 track Human Nature.
And in one scene to be broadcast during the tour — which opens in Cardiff on August 23 — Britney loses her mind after getting stuck in a lift in a short film by New York photographer STEVEN KLEIN.
I listened to her music and it is really beautiful. It is odd coming from a first lady but it is beautiful.
She is a whore and a bad mother.
Her as France's First Lady would be as horrible if that whore Angelina Jolie made it into the White House.
Ahh, who cares? The English are so weird sometimes, they raise up people like Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen (hardly perfect women) and tear down a woman who has obviously had a positive life change recently. Is there like a French Secret Service that will kill the reviewers with a big cover-up? that would be awesome!
she is a whore.
She is a SLUT!!!
I would be ashamed if she were my mother.
Whatever Perez. She is beautiful and I like her music very much. Stop being such a Meanie Pants.
There is a difference between being a model and being a slut. She used to be a model and then she became a slut.
Once a whore, always a whore. She does clean up nicely but we all know she is just whore.
AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT WOULD GET HELL IS HE BROUGHT A MODEL INOT THE WHITE HOUSE BECAUSE, NOT TO BE RUDE, OUR CELEBRITIES ARE NOT CLASSY! POP STARS CANT KEEP THEIR UNDERWEAR ON! AND CINDY MCCAIN COULD BE FUTURE FIRST LADY AND SHE USED TO BE A BEAUTY QUEEN. AMERICA CANNOT HAVE POP STARS AND MODELS IN THE WHITEHOUSE BECAUSE NONE OF THEM ARE CLASSY ENOUGH. DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm french and lmao when i learnt they were "dating"! what a joke! publicity stunt! and i was shocked when she got married because she's always said she wouldn't, that she was free, blah blah bullshit! she's just an attention whore and she only married sarkozy because he's the president! she doesn't love him! she'll file for divorce as soon as he's no longer president!

Re: MOLLA –
Nancy was never a cock sucking whore and coke head. BIG DIFF
Re: fyi – France isn't a real country. I think you're a real idiot.
uMM…THE U.K. HAVE NO "RESPECTED MEDIA OUTLETS"
Her album is good, i love it!!!
You can listen it for FREE on the official website of Carla Bruni!!!!!!!!!

Re: Paris –
YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS GOOD?
SUFI!!!
SUPPORT DANE COOK AND HIS FLATULANT DOG!!
ALL DOGS HAVE THE RIGHT TO SHIT!
SAY NO TO ANIMAL CRUELY-
SAY YEA TO ALLOWING DOGS TO POOP!!!
Re: fyi – hey who are you to tell that France is not a real country?? asshole
Seriously i don't like her husband and now i don't like her too but her music is not bad she writes good songs.
Re: fyi –
France is the most visited country in the world shut up idiot!!
What the hell happened to her she use to be so beautiful?!!
Her music is great. Check by yourself before bashing people

Re: Duh –
Ahh, so I guess that makes her uninteresting?
I wasn't trying to compare Nancy to this chick, just pointing out that we have had some far-from-bland first ladies.
i think Carla Bruni has a beautiful voice, and I enjoy her music immensely. I do not, however, speak french, so her comments of 30 lovers did not affect me.
she's an artist, she wasn't born to be first lady, leave her alone, she's awesome.
You had an ACTOR as a president!!!!!!!!!!
From effin' Hollywood!!!!
And yes, Hollywood was just as filled with drugs, and sex, and alcohol, as it is today!! The American public eye probably just didn't such a detailed view of it, as it has today!
One more thing she has in common with Vanessa Paradis.
Re: Piri – SHE'S UNDERGONE PLASTIC SURGERY (EYES AND CHEEKS). JUST LOOK AT PREVIOUS PICTURES OF HER, AND COMPARE… ANYWAY, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST RIDICULOUS PRESIDENTIAL COUPLE FRANCE HAS EVER HAD. ITS LAVISH WAY OF LIFE IS A SCANDAL, WHEREAS FRANCE IS QUICKLY AND SURELY GOING DOWN AND DOWN AND DOWN… POVERTY IN FRANCE HAS NEVER BEEN SO IMPORTANT. FRENCH PEOPLE CALL THEIR PRESIDENT "MR BLING-BLING". BUT THEY DO GET WHAT THEY PAID (VOTED) FOR…
No wonder the French support Obama. They love freakshows.
carla bruni's music is actually really good, definitely something perez would like. If u wanna judge for urself go to www.carlabruni.com n go to the VIP area, its available for free listening…
I think that english people are not really partial… Everybody knows that they hate France since like forever.
But i agree that she is a whore.
I love the 1st album and she looks amazing in jeans
Her music is actually really good, idiot. I have her first two albums and I love them. Her music is different but does that make it bad? I don't think so. And she was a singer before she became first lady of France. She had already recorded most of the album before she married Sarkozy so I don't see what the big deal is about her releasing it now as long she uses her position as first lady after this to focus on causes etc. And who are you to be so judgemental? Nancy Regan was an actress and your country's most beloved President, Ronald Regan was an actor (and an idiot) for chrissake. And let's not forget Arnie as Governor of California. On a side note, this is so typical of the British press. They loved her when she visited England and built her up as a goddess and now they have to rip her to shreds because she is releasing her album, most of which was written BEFORE she became first lady. The British media is just the worst.
Hillary is more interesting than her.
.
So was Elenor Rosevelt.
.
So was Abigail Adams.
.
So was Dolly Madison.
.
So was Betty Ford, for that matter.

Carla Bruni is very pretty though. Not to take anything away from Frances FL.
…and if Jesse the Body Ventura can be Gov. of Minesota, there's no reason France should be embarrassed to have a model/singer as first lady. At least she's pretty and can sing.
Re: White –
French people don't support Obama the French president is from the right side(a little like the Republicains).
They probably support McCain.
She looks like bjork in the eyes and a little in the face… Sounds nothing like her tho and doesn't compare.
"Can you imagine the hell an American president would get if he brought a model or pop star into the White House?"
perez are you kidding me??!!
Hello Ronald Reagan he was a fucking actor!!
Im sure Angelina Jolie will try to get into politics too pretentious bitch.
imagine if an american president brought……what about Kennedy? did marilyn and god knows how many others. clinton supposedly did barbra S. and what ever he could get…. so, at least frances president married his.
Maybe she gives good head like Nancy Regan apparently that was widely known in Hollywood,some how I can,t picture her going down on Ronnie.Carla is a bitch,total fame whore,according to Eric Clapton they were a item years ago
Gotta love France for having a First Lady that is a wild child from a rich Italian family, so gorgeous she modeled for kicks, not $$$, made millions anyway, slept with rock stars, a literary heavyweight then had a baby WITH HIS SON, did drugs and then bags the president at age 40. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! This could only happen in France. Those pics of the love birds in front of the pyramids in their RayBans and jeans [ah eternal "amour", timeless as the Sphinx, thump thump] with Carla's black undies peeping over the top of her jeans, are simply fabulous. The other amazing pics are the two of them cavorting on a Jordanian beach at sunset. That First Ass is simply awesome. Vive Le France!
big fat trivial pig!!! you know NOTHING about music. your a fat freak. go listen to falloutboy some more!
Oh but perez, she isn't just an actress, she's also a whore, a homewrecker, with all her bits displayed across the internet. It's one thing, if she were like a respectable woman, it'd even be ok if she had like a litle scandel here and there, but she isn't, she's a whore who pimped out to the highest bidder. You can't turn a skank into a first lady, she's lieing to herself. But whatever, it's france and having a skank whore for a first lady makes sense.
She is Italian. Was born in Italy. She is married to a French moron, but still Italian.
More documentation, Perez.
The funny thing is, we French people love her. She is very popular here.
In Brazil, we call this enviousness.
Re: Sonia –
No she is French now.It's recent though.
I guess being married to the president helps when you want to change your nationality.
Re: Balle –
No it's not true nobody likes her in France.
Re: s – Yes, it is, at least in my city. People talk about her often and think she is very pretty.
Re: Balle –
She is not loved by the people i know.
She is only with Sarkozy because she loves power and fame she is a serial whore and fucked them all.
She is homewrecker #1 and in her way very proud of it.As if stealing eric clapton
,from his wife, is a real accomplishment!That douche is easy as hell and so are of her former lovers!
Re: fyi – You are an idiot
Perez, this is a clear example of how little you focus on the really important things, and instead focus your attention on mainly the negative aspects of…well, everything really. It's cool, I get that you have to do this in order to get anyone to look at your site anymore, now that Britney & Lindsey have stopped showing their privates to the world and you have stopped writing about many artists/people due to your personal issues with certain companies. In many cases the same artists that brought so much attention to your site in the first place.
Did you know that ALL royalties from the sale of this album by the First Lady is being donated to charity?
She isn't doing any concerts or appearances for this, and basically isn't making any money off of it.
You, Perez, are a sad, bitter little huge man.
