Dave Stewart and Carla Bruni Perform at Mandela Day 2009.

[bbyChriistiina]

her performance was amazinggg ! i was there at the concert last summer :)

[Vero2y1]

The French song is 'Quelqu'un m'a dit'. I really like her interpretation!!

[agushkafi]

her good interpretation is because of the fact that it s her own song, she wrote it when her sister told her that carla' s ex is still in love with her

[loveglam1]

Quelqu ma´ dit

[yayofilo]

what is the name of this song??

¿cual es el nombre de esta cancion?

thanks!

gracias!

[2rocinante1]

blowing in the wind- bob dylan

[pamice]

Well at the end it is a matter of taste. I would not buy any of her recordings, it is just not my style but let's admit that she has a nice voice and yes, she can sing. Of course besides this, she is extremely pretty, very charming, a lot of elegance, grace and class, a great taste and last but not least she is smart and wants to use her position to do some good things around. For that, she deserves a big "bravo" ...

[MsAnnaPina]

Ha detto di non essere piu' italiana....

[myspacefaceboook]

Je ne sais pas si vous connaissez la dernière info.

Notre Président, Nicolas Sarkozy, va devenir grand-père.

Venez voir ma vidéo ralentie de sa sortie de l'hôpital -->>

[Dario3950]

bella e brava carla bruni dal resto e italiana e con questo ho detto tutto

[eurythmics4ever]

This is so sad...in 2003 Dave had the great Annie Lennox and now he's playing with this Carla Bruni....Where are you, Annie Lennox???

[cool40999]

oh god she is hot

lucky Sarkuzy

[tim10076]

The French tune was ok i dont speak french but it sounded ok to me, but in all honesty Blowin in the Wind was horrible but that is just my opinion.

[Dario3950]

d'altronde che volevate e italiana bellisima canzone

[kataboy]

Q. What have Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Donald Trump, Kevin Costner and my ears all got in common?

A. They all got fucked my Carla Bruni....

She is crap

[constantla]

very funny. I appreciate. But, she'smy first lady, and the lyrics are VERY good (in french). So...

[pawnshops]

God, she's awful

[mauldavia]

What is the name of this little 'french' song does anyone know?

[NeoLibertate]

Quelqu'un m'a dit

[alexisonfire199]

Quelqu'un ma dit. it means someone told me

[constantla]

yes that you still love me...

[laurent6]

Elle est très distinguééééééééééeeeeeee

[SuperHotwater]

This is awful.  What made her think she could sing(if you call that singing)

[roycbirdwatching]

she better not give the day job,or night job

[buffee67]

What do people expect - it was a live performance by a lady who is not a professional musician. Its what makes live music great. Its their version-a one off. Hats off to em!!! Listen to Dylan live of late and none of his performances are the same

[ioanaion]

Yet she IS a professional musician - she CLAIMS to be one.

But i don't think the issue is so much the quality of her singing - she aspires at Barbara but she is insignificant...

It rather looks like a cheap attempt to build political capital and to get a piggy-back ride on a noble name. For THIESE reasons they should have banned her from the event.

[rg72rp]

i 'll never understand these critics.

It's a good performance, 2 good songs. I would even say emotional.

SOme people has some problem with carla . there's rubbish in the music world but it's not here.

[mattabad]

bad voices.

[THEBOLDCORSICANFLAME]

Someone from france wrote that the criticism come from France and the Americans are praising Carla BRUNI. Well I am a French woman and my son is American and I wish my people were less critical, she is an artist, she is doing something to help the peace process and all that the French can think is to bitch about her voice or her husband. As for the choice of BLOWING IN THE WIND, BOB DYLAN is the MASTER of the MASTERS

[esdenaze]

my ears hurt this was rubbish, and believe it or not i expected and wanted it to be good.

Carla raped dylans song, luckely dave pulled it together. And wtf with the choir :s

[bigjer88]

It wasn't that bad. I'm a huge Dylan fan, and I've seen worse things done with his songs. The word "raped" is certainly not justified. And I don't see why you attribute "pulling it together" to Dave. He and Carla were in this together, on the same plane.

[esdenaze]

because he could actually sing and play the song properly... and do justice to a song written by one of the best singer songwriters in history or folk and dance man as he would say

[bigjer88]

So you think Dave Stewart had nothing to do with the arrangement? Poor unsuspecting Dave Stewart didn't know the pauses were going to be there? He went along on the ride.

I don't care at all about Carla Bruni and I love Bob Dylan. I've seen him in concert over 70 times. I simply don't think that this performance justifies the intensity of your response.

Nothing in this performance showed me that Dave Steward played the song any more "properly" than she did...whatever properly means.

[esdenaze]

Well i tend to overreact to (over) compensate the fanboys/girls on here who think it was a magnificient moment... and tbh the whole mandela festive is completely stripped from it's orginal context and turned into a script from hollywood, just as i practically need to barf from golden globes and all that, it's too fake to be even worth watching

[esdenaze]

to be specific: she squeeked her voice constantly, dident sound right, her voice couldent handle the pitch, her timing was horrible and so was the waiting in between words...

[bigjer88]

Upon further reflection, I agree that this arrangement was cheesy, soulless drivel, but I don't know why you think that Dave Stewart had nothing to do with it.

Why do you think he agreed to play with her in the first place. To the extent that you think this was a horrible arrangement, you can't relieve Dave Stewart of all responsibility for that. That would be quite a simplistic approach.

[afrobro77]

well said

[ingfranc61z]

perso je vois pourquoi on mélange les deux , je ne suis pas sarkoziste mais mon jugement sur elle n'a pas à se porter sur son nom . (c'est intéressant de constater que globalment toutes les critiques ici sont françaises et les éloges américaines(car neutres de par ce fait))

[wildetimes]

Quiet simply! RUBBISH

[louf66]

J'ai toujours pas compris en quoi ce cher Nicolas l'attirait, mais remontée spectaculaire dans mon estime pour Dylan <3 XD

[letap44]

Nul je ne vois pas de chanteuse la sais bien d' être femme de ROI

[ingfranc61z]

letap44 , ton post est intéressant car il est exactement à l'image du problème pour bruni en france.... cette chanson fut encensée à sa sortie en 2003 et par la critique et par le public (double disque d'or et meilleure interprète aux victoires de la musique) . Mais alors depuis qu'elle s'appelle sarko..............

[Robnufc94]

Watch FSX Landing Please

[MsAnnaPina]

What a load of crap!!!

[misterobvious]

Let's see...

* beautiful fashion model

* stylish and fashionable wardrobe

* speaks many languages

* talented musician/recording artist

all this BEFORE becoming first lady of France.

Now she uses her donates her time and fame to honor civil rights legend Nelson Mandela by singing a pretty Dylan song (in another language I might add...)..

...and YOU are so jealous and bitter that all you can do is insult her? You're pathetic.

[MsAnnaPina]

I agree she is beautiful, but I'm afraid she can't sing!

[misterobvious]

sounds fine to me for the style of talking-singing she is doing. She's not an opera diva, nor is she pretending to be one.

Let's compare her musical abilities to Laura Bush, shall we?.......

[KLAVZIAK]

banbyet srkdfr that segea

watch?v=6KxBnIHOTzo

[VallmosKirk]

Lovely this is! We want more music from Carla and Dave!

[debby585]

E fantastico! Se chiudo gli occhi e lo ascolto mi fa venire la pelle d'oca. Due voci che insieme fanno brivido.

[ingfranc61z]

It is said to me that our lives are not worth large thing,

They pass in one moment as fade the pinks

It is said to me that the time which slips is a bastard

That our sadnesses it is made coats of them,

However somebody said to me that

Refrain

[ingfranc61z]

Parat qu'le bonheur est porte de main,

I heard that we could easily reach happiness

Alors on tend la main et on se retrouve fou

So we raise our hand to catch it and become crazy

Pourtant quelqu'un m'a dit ...

Yet someone told me....

[Pasha9973]

Well people remake song from many artist stellstar101. This is a good version of this song in french.

[niko62fr]

AH la la, elle aurait du prendre la Gibson offerte par Michelle Obama !

[stellestar101]

The French song is a rip-off The Cranberries' Dreaming My Dreams With You'!

[ingfranc61z]

lol , are you musicien stellestar101 ? i am ... and i can say to you that all songs (moreover with just 4 strains) have the same rip of a lot of other songs....

[ingfranc61z]

part 1

On me dit que nos vies ne valent pas grand chose,

People tell me that our lives are not worth much

Elles passent en un instant comme fnent les roses.

They pass in one short moment just like roses do

On me dit que le temps qui glisse est un salaud que de nos chagrins

People tell me that time which slips away is a bastard, that with our sorrows

Il s'en fait des manteaux pourtant quelqu'un m'a dit...

He makes coats for Him. Yet someone told me

Refrain (chorus)

[ingfranc61z]

Que tu m'aimais encore,

That you still loved me

C'est quelqu'un qui m'a dit que tu m'aimais encore.

It's someone who told me, that you still loved me.

Serais ce possible alors ?

Would it be possible then?

On me dit que le destin se moque bien de nous

People tell me that destiny makes fun of us

Qu'il ne nous donne rien et qu'il nous promet tout

That it doesn't give anything to us and promise for everything

[ingfranc61z]

One tells me that destiny mocks us

That it does not give anything to us and promises us everything

It seems that happiness is within reach

So, one takes its hand and finds oneself crazy

Nevertheless, someone told me...

But who told me that you still loved me?

I do not remember, it was late in the night

I still hear the voice, but I do not see the traits (?) anymore

"He loves you, it's secret, don't tell him that I've told you that"

You see, someone told me...

[stellestar101]

Chill out honey. Just making an observation. Never thought I'd ever say this but Dolores O'Riordan is very easy on the ear compared to this cat's chorus.

[WYUSA]

AMAZING

[bragators]

do you know the name of the french song?

[musiolette]

The title is "Quelqu'un m'a dit" (meaning "Somebody told me..")

[lilmike498]

[javierseg2009]

Refrán Español: La Intención es lo que cuenta.

Creo que es lo que mejor aplica en esta "actuación" de Carla.

[Imvale]

I can't even begin to put into words how good she is. Viva Carla!
