Carla Bruni taking a great American blues tune by Jimmy Cox (1923) and tries it on.

I am sorry Carla, you are beautiful but there ain't no soul there honey. I think I'll put you in an elevator, preferably with a little screen.
Beauty is only skin deep - and so is the singing.

She sings it like she's on tranquilizers. I haven't heard a lamer attempt at 'soul' since Baba Streisand tried to cover Stoney End.
What does Carla Bruni know about being down and out anyhow, huh? Stick to what you know!

Well, I’m sure it sounds better than if FLOTUS tried to sing it.

Didn’t she have a fling with clapton for a while? That’s probably why she put that song into her act. BTW the vid is better with the sound off, lol (although her band in okay)..
Wanna hear it done with some real soul?

She’s too European to sing that. She should try techno pop or something from over there. You gotta get a little more American, a little more soul to sing that one honey..
