Thanks to Ian for this news:

Sarah Slean will be performing "LUCKY ME" on CANADA AM ( CTV) live from Trocadero Square in Paris, France tomorrow morning ( Thursday, May 18th) at 8:50 am EST. She will be closing the show, which is being broadcast entirely from Paris, and is set directly in front of the Eiffel Tower. Très joli. Check local listings for times in your market.

Sarah has been singing LUCKY ME alot lately, as she has been living in Paris since late January on a 6 month residency to promote and tour "Day One, " that was released by WM France February 27th . The first single "Lucky Me" was just added at Europe 2 ( major national pop rock radio staion) and Le Mouv ( local radio station).

Listen to Sarah from France (audio)

On April 26, 2006 Sarah played a couple of live songs for Le Fou du Roi on Radio France.

The set is availble on their website in a streaming Real Player format. Click here for the audio link and observe the time's below for Sarah.

	Time (hr.min.sec)											Track
	Start			End
	0.38.34			0.04.20								MC feat Sarah on Piano?
	0.40.48			0.42.12								Lucky Me (partial)
	1.03.43			1.07.18								Lucky Me (full)
	1.15.37			1.18.00								Bullet Proof (Radiohead cover)

I am unable to translate the French portions of the interview to know if Sarah played support for the MC, why she stopped playing Lucky Me and if Richard Lornac played piano during Bullet Proof. The show is also podcasted but I am unable to see if it's still available in that format.

Update (5/7/06):
Aranter on SarahSlean.com forum was able to answer the above questions.

• I really don't think she plays support for the MC as it is actually not a real piece of rap but a sarcastic thing made by an humortist and nothing allow her to think that she plays behind him.

• They stopped Lucky me in such a brutal way as somebody just took the micro away from Sarah (Stéphane Berne, the host, is himself amazed when this happens) because actually, if the sound is good for us, the problem is that the program is recorded (for this particular day) in a theatre and for the people in there the sound is quite bad, most of them almost don't hear anything.

• Finally, Richard Lornac is indeed the one who plays piano during Bullet Proof !
