NEW YORK (AFP) – Carla Bruni-Sarokzy will lead a glittering line-up of stars at a concert here to mark Nelson Mandela's birthday, in what will be her first public show since becoming France's first lady.
Bruni-Sarkozy, a model-turned-musician, will perform for the first time in public since marrying French President Nicolas Sarkozy at the concert at Radio City Music Hall in Madison Square Garden.
The event, which also stars Stevie Wonder and soul queen Aretha Franklin, ends a week of celebrations for the 91st birthday of the former South African president.

After having heard her music (and her singing voice), I’ve concluded that Bruni, like children, is better seen and not heard.

I hope one of her selections is ‘I Hope You Die’ by Rodney Carrington.

She’d have to sound like Maria Callas to sing better than she looks. She is a beautiful woman.

Jackson, the child star turned King of Pop who set the world dancing but whose musical genius was overshadowed by a bizarre lifestyle and sex scandals, died on June 25, 2009. He was 50.
