First Lady wanna-be Michelle Obama commented on her musical tastes in the current issue of Marie Claire. Take a wild guess what’s not on Michelle Obama’s iPod?
Michelle Obama: I have a pretty eclectic mix of everything, from Beyoncé to Stevie Wonder. He’s my favorite artist of all time, so I probably have every song he’s ever recorded. But if I hear something I like somewhere, I’ll add it. I just heard this CD by Anthony David, who’s an R&B guy – I put him on there. That’s brand new, so I’m kind of enjoying that a lot now. I also have some old Mariah Carey; the girls have reintroduced me to some of her older stuff. So I have a good mix: some pop, some R&B, some jazz.
What? No hip-hop? This, from the wife of the man who once said his iPod playllist included music by rappers Jay-Z and Ludacris?
Marie Claire also asked Michelle “How do you deal with all the women swooning over your husband? Obama Girl, Scarlett Johansson…” To which Michelle responded, “I can’t blame them – he’s cute!”
Poor Michelle doesn’t know what she’s in for. She won’t be singing that tune if Obama is elected president. Those DC jump offs are an entirely different breed from your run of the mill jump offs in Chicago.
