I became a fan of Alizee June 2006 and can not remember the last time I actually bought a CD. Discovering her changed all that. I had to purchase both CDs and DVD from Amazon.

1. Was anyone able to purchase from a store when the CDs originally released or did everyone do the same as me?

2. How Do You Plan On Buying The Next CD or single?


P.S. Membership granted, thanks. Took me awhile to figure out how to post new messages even the 2nd time.

If you want to buy her music then buy it from a legitimate site, not some Russian knock off site that won't give Alizee a dime. There is no way in hell that a legitimate site can sell an entire Alizee album (MP3s or CDs) for $2.00 and still make a decent profit. Purchase the Alizee double (combined CDs) album from Amazon so Alizee can get both credit in her album sales and a piece of the profit. Of course I'm sure that we all know that the vast majority of artists make hardly any money from the albums at all but rather make their money from the concerts they do. The records companies and promoters make the vast majority of profits from the CD sales, that is unless you're someone like Madonna, who can demand a cut of the action.

Personally, I'd download her music (steal it) rather than pay some scam site any money for it. But when it comes to Alizee's music, I buy it.

I'll pre-order it from Amazon.fr or fnac.fr most likely. Or pick it up from Paris.

Depending on the release date.

Amazon is my first option. I'd like to use allofmp3.com, but I'm worried about giving my credit card info.

Don't buy Alizée's albums from allofmp3.

She won't get a penny from it. They don't pay the artists royalties.

I'm not sure about her new album/single, since it's her husband as the producer and all, and I can't really afford imports, can barely afford lunch sometimes.

I've downloaded her music illegally before, as has many here. This way, I won't have the IRAA(or whatever organization she falls under) watching my activity.

Jeremy is pretty good with music. You should try his newest albums. There's some real gems. Very beautyful songs.

The singles extracted from the second album aren't very good but they aren't Jeremy's songs. He did them in collaboration with others. Which obviously was bad deal. He woulda have done great without them.

I'm expecting to see very lovely album from Alizée. Plenty of beautiful songs coming for sure.

Well some one said it best before. The guy is a Jack of All Trades but has yet to master any of them. I heard a couple of his songs and was far from impressed.

I have liked Ali up to this point and I'm worried about her future direction to say the least.

Well, I wouldn't just run away like she were on fire or anything but I will be disappointed. If I like a new performer's albums, I'll stay faithful. I completely understand if they have albums that aren't as good but if they are just pumping out garbage for cash, then I'm gone.

I think of it like a marriage. I'm married and my spouse is always faithful to me (keeps up with the good albums and continues putting alot of effort into it) then I too will be faithful. If there is a screw up, like she's checking out some other guy (she has just one bad album) I can look past it, but it puts me on my guard. If they start a relationship with some one else (continues with the bad music), then she's cheated on me in my book and we're pretty much done. I'll have the good memories (good past albums) but I can't see the relationship striking back up unless she comes crawling back to me begging for forgiveness (releases another album that is as good as her old ones). At that point however, I'd have to hear her apology through other sources ("piracy").

Kind of odd until you really think about it.

I rarely get excited over any artist, but Alizee has me as excited as I can ever remember being.
I will buy her third album from Amazon and if possible, her singles as well.

As far as whether the third album will be good, bad or indifferent, I will buy it and stay faithful to her. Every artist goes through ups and downs in their career's.

As for Jeremy being a Jack-of-all-trades, remember that he is even younger then Alizee so how much exposure has he really had in the biz yet? It takes time to develop your skills and strong points.

I'm sure Alizee is giving him the chance to prove himself, but she is no dumby. Should this album not do well, I would guarantee that she will find other people to help her work on her fourth album. This is common sense and Alizee has lots of it.

Im gonna send an email to Jeremy Chatelain and ask him if he can hook me up with a free CD of Alizees next album. I'll just explain to him that i promise to let thousands of people listen to it here in the USA.

And I can rent one of these big poster advertising trucks they have on the Strip here in Las Vegas and slap Alizees album cover image on it and drive the truck up and down the Strip all day.

Jeremy I will promote Alizees next album here in Las Vegas... give me a call, we can work a deal. Actually have Alizee give me a call, id rather talk to her if you dont mind, lol :p

I will buy my CD from amazon.french probably, just like i did the Alizee en Concert DVD

My good man Zack. I really dont think shes getting anything from the sales of her cd's. In a differnet post I point out that her cd's..wait you read that post.

Yea its been three years....not nearly enough time to stop printing a number one album. Many less popular bands go one or two years between albums and they continue to print as long as there is demand. I cant imagine demand is low enough in Europe...EUROPE! France, Germany, Mexico (not europe), Belgim all the places where she was no. 1. Theres no way. I think she bailed b/c she got a raw deal. But im just guessing. Well see how it plays out.

We've had this discussion before, but it's very important to buy her CDs even if she doesn't see a single penny from it. It shows the record companies that she still has fans.

And if i meet her ill definitly tell her about this Site and all her fans in this continent. this i my first trip to paris any recommendations for places i should check out ????

01-13-2007, 01:33 PM
Yes thats true regarding popularity and of course the new cd. I also suggest requesting radio stations to play a song of hers. I also sent an email to nbc asking them to bring her for the Today show concert series. I suggest you guys do the same thing whenever you see a venue/station which could host her. Her vid on google is still top 100.

yup. seems like its that way in Paris. but i tell ya if i go there.
the first thing i do after i leave my house/apartment/etc... is buy some french bread and walk around eating french bread like a french person =)
my grandma told me that when she went to Paris, the french people would stick the long piece of bread under their arms and eat it while walking around. but that was like over two decades ago so things might have changed hehe.

I live in Ireland and looked everywhere to no avail :( . I looked on the Irish iTunes store and they only had MCE so I was at a loss. On a trip to New York, I visited Times Square and saw Virgin Megastores. Inside there was a giant International section, along with an aisle of French artists alone. Alizée was there. I nearly screamed with joy. I bought the Cd's and left. I don't know what I'll do to buy the new one except pray that they release it in Ireland. :(

If Alizée's producer/distributor believes in iTunes, I might snatch it up there, and then listen to that while I wait for my Amazon copy. Or perhaps I'll go the bittorrent route until it arrives... Who knows.

I'll research up on how much money Alizee will receive per cd sale. Of course this value $X < $total cost of cd. Then I will download the cd for free, and then mail Alizee an amount $Y > $X, but subject to $Y < $cost of CD. That way we're both better off than if I had actually purchased it.

1) Even though it's Alizée that makes us buy the album, lots of other people worked hard to produce it. They deserve the money too, and just because it's not obvious doesn't mean they shouldn't be paid.

2) Alizée is going to make a lot of money on this album, and she's going to be very busy continuing sales by doing interviews and performances. It's not likely that opening your letter is worth the money due to the time it would take her.

The next CD will be a single not the album. Hopefully, her web site will be back up at the same time and will include links for how to buy it. What I'd like to do is to buy a download rather than an actual physical CD, but we'll see what's available.

The album I'll probably get from Amazon.fr the way I bought MCE.
