WASHINGTON — Michelle Obama secretly wishes she could be Beyoncé.
“Gosh. If I had some gift, I’d be Beyoncé,” the first lady told People magazine in an interview scheduled to hit newsstands Friday.
“I’d be some great singer,” Mrs. Obama added. “The power of music, being able to play an instrument … It looks like musicians just have the most fun.”
Beyoncé, 30, and her hip-hop mogul husband Jay-Z, 42, are both ardent supporters of President Barack Obama and his wife.
The first lady, 48, added that her husband has a fondness for singing and enjoys belting out a tune “all the time. Sometimes I can’t get him to stop,” she said.
“He loves it in the shower in the morning, sings to the kids. But it’s not a song. He’ll sing one line of something romantic or cute,” she added.
