BTW, could you quote the actual Alizee Alliance post that you read?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. What I meant was the actual text that the person wrote and not the URL to it because I can't check that at the moment. I'll check later tonight after work. Thanks anyway!

/sigh I guess it's a 48-hour waiting game now...

There, go sign that petition just to show how many signatures we can get on there and represent our country, whatever it may be. You must give it an email address and when you submit you will have to go get an email and click a link there. Use http://translate.google.com if you have trouble understanding French. I'll probably be here a while too.

Ok, in case some of you don't get it, it is to bring back the concert. It is a symbolic gesture at least.

[Tchaikovsky]

Okay I signed :)

I think this petition needs the help of our fellow fans from Mexico to make a significant impact.

It's really unfortunate if what is rumored holds to be true (especially with a petition surfacing) because many folks have already purchased their travel tickets and hotel reservations such as myself. It's a huge blow to us fans. Some who have saved all summer to afford what maybe their once in a life time trip. I feel a bit nauseated and emotions of my experience from the first Alizée Mexico City signing is swelling inside. :(

I hope RMJ's request is heard and that they or she tells the organizers to hell with them and simply moves it to another venue in Paris but maintains the same 10/23 date.

[TheBarrett]

Well she's not Mikael Åkerfeldt and can't just tell her managers and/or bosses to "f*** off".

But I do hope the same, if it is moved to next year or some other date then I will have scheduling problems.

[woohoo]

Well she is a mother first and foremost and having free time to do things like promoting herself is probably low on her list of things to do. So all her fans need to continue to promote her in their own way and her managers need to be slapped in the face and promote her in France, Mexico, and hopefully America. If they start promoting her in force she be super popular super fast.:)
Then the other aspect is that she told her management not to promote her because shes overwhelmed by her child, Jeremy, planning concerts, etc and she wants to wait a while before doing anything else. I dont know:confused:

Sorry folks. I haven't posted in a looong time. But, this is the saddest day in a looong time also. I can't believe this, I'm just lost for words. I've signed the petition like so many other voting sites that I feel it's not going to bring us any luck. Very very sad coming from a 2-1/2 yr fan. :(

FWIW, message on TicketNet.fr states, as follows:

"ALIZEE vient d’être récompensée d’un Luna’s Award, l’équivalent de nos Victoires de la Musique, et devra se rendre fin octobre au Mexique pour la remise du trophée.

KI M’AIME ME SUIVE, producteur de la tournée, se voit donc contraint de décaler le concert prévu au Grand Rex du 23 octobre 2008 au samedi 28 mars 2009 dans la même salle et ceci dans un souci de cohérence avec la seconde partie de la tournée qui a été reportée début 2009.

La Production et l’Artiste s’excusent du désagrément occasionné par ce changement de date. Les billets restent valables à la date du report mais peuvent également être remboursés dans les points de vente si souhaité. ALIZEE proposera un rendez-vous réservé à ses fans d’ici à la fin de l’année. »

So the dream has become a nightmare... concert postponed to 28.03.2009. The reason they postpone is ridiculous. She doesn't have to go for that award. Meeting at the end of the year ? How many times can you fly to Paris ? It costs !! Damn it! I can't book another flight because the airlines I've chosen has schedule until 28 March(you know winter/summer season date)!!
Source: AF

It's official. The concert has been postponed to next year for 28 March 2009. Those who bought tickets may have received the date change from which ever company they bought their concert ticket from. :(

I guess this can be categorized as "the need of the many, out way the need of the few..."

[JCC]

WOW! That sucks! One of the major reasons performers cancel or re-schedule concerts is due to very poor ticket sales, which most likely is the case. her previous Poor management comes into play w/this one, too. Her new management or whoever it is, Jive records i think, probably decided to postpone the performance and evaluate what they have in Alizee. Poor tix sales for a major venue and mediocore sales in her home country are red flags for new mangemnt. I don't buy the excuse of her attending an award show as a reason....thats BS!

Her fanbase is already upset at her lack of communication with the fans even before this concert. She's gonig to lose tons of fans cos of this.

[NarutoSoul]

While I am a little sorry for the people that have had stuff planned WAY in advance... For myself I must say: WOOOOOOOOOOO! http://www.alizee-forum.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif I might actually get to go now! *increases saving efforts*

[edgar93]

I received an e-mail from Francebillet.com about ALizze concert. It is going to be re-scheduled to 28th March 2009

Wich one is going to be re-scheduled? the one at the Grand Rex?:confused:

[heyamigo]

damn at least it's march and not canceled.

[Tchaikovsky]

I don't think a concert in March is a viable alternative.

[techno_Millenium]

Wich one is going to be re-scheduled? the one at the Grand Rex?:confused:

Yest the one that was to happen on 23rd October in Paris

[Jamie]

I suppose going to Mexico instead to accept the Luna' S Award, as indicated by Ki m'aime me suive (http://www.kimaimemesuive.fr/kimaimemesuive_fr.html), is considered more important than the concert.

Now her myspace say 03-28-2009 too. Just a change of date like nothing ever happened...

[Future Raptor Ace]

According to posts on her myspace Alizees October concert was canceled......I'm not sure if this has been posted yet of if this rumor is true........

[Vista]

According to various sites, Alizee's October 23rd concert has been cancelled and rescheduled to March 28, 2009.

See Alizee Concert Rescheduled to March 28, 2009 (http://www.imeem.com/vistausa/blogs/2008/10/08/0PGuUHyg/alizee_paris_concert_grand_rex_theater_has_been_re scheduled_to_march_28_2009)

*Shakes his head* This is definitely not good for Alizee. I hope for her sake she had a good reason or this. I also hope everything is ok with her.

Someone (Alizee?) on Alizee's Officiel MySpace is deleting comments regarding concert cancellation... see posts here Alizee Officiel MySpace Deletions (http://www.alizee-forum.com/showthread.php?t=23384&page=4).
Possible attempt at damage control?

[LeFantôme]

This website states that Alizée has already won the Luna's award:
http://unbrinalize.free.fr/site.php

It is very bizarre to cancel a concert on such short notice: I am thus sure that there is a very good reason. I don't get the feeling that the award has caused the cancellation; it's something else. I wouldn't doubt poor sales, but are there any other planned concerts? I thought that there were November concerts in other French cities and Belgium, but I can no longer find them. Am I crazy or have they been canceled as well? I mean, if that was the only concert planned than the tour was off to a bad start altogether.

We can stay positive. I'm sure the spring tour will so much the better.

Edit: just noticed: "Alizée proposera un rendez-vous réservé à ses fans d'ici à la fin de l'année" (source:http://www.kimaimemesuive.fr/kimaimemesuive_fr.html). My best translation: "Alizée will propose a meeting reserved for her fans by the end of the year." What???

[woohoo]

Do we know if she is doing anything in France or Spain in April 13-17 because if she is i could possible go. WOOHOO

[Jamie]

Sad that enough tickets weren't purchased for a concert in her own country. Well, I won't make the new date. That is 3 less tickets sold for the re-scheduled concert that may or not happen in March. I was going with, and paid for, 2 others and am out thousands of dollars now for nothing already. First I miss the Mexico concerts because of an accident, and now this.... Disappointed to say the least.

Yeah, I noticed this too. And nothing but a little date change and no comments. Thanks for playing! Sorry that you ran out of quarters! Y'all come back now. :(

Really, to give reason that is to attend an award that is a week after the concert is ridiculous. They must take us for loons!

[Sir Wood]

^^ Unfortunately, all those prior MySpace comments regarding news of the cancellation have been conveniently removed by someone.

Yes, I noticed that too. Not sure what they mean, but it is interesting. Perhaps the only positive thing for us here. Though one thing's for sure, it will definitely be the final straw if only French fans are invited.

[Roman]

Well, if you are invited, can you afford to go? See, they need to get all this worked out quickly and tell us something quickly so we can know what do to with our plane tickets. We may incur a fee, but we might still be able to change the dates of our plane tickets and still attend something else.

I wouldn't get your hopes up too high on that last sentence....sorry to burst ur bubbles. But if it does go down, it makes more sense to do something on a smaller scale....but gettin invited is going to be another thing. How they determine that will probably leave many loyal fans out in the cold and heartbroken...again...:(

[Amigo!]

It would be so hard to change things if they don't say something quick. But then again, making any of these trips has never been easy. One can only hope.

[Ben]

Perhaps it will be offered to all those who've already bought tickets? Dunno, it's too vague at this point to consider the specifics. One just hopes it will at least attempt to include us.

I saw this over at AFC posted by Jipé today:

J'savais pas ou mettre ça...

Lu sur http://psychalizee.net(merci dbrisdereves)

bonjour à tous!

moi et un ami avons vu alizée cet apres midi,

la premiere chose dont nous lui avons parlé,c'est de cette absence,on lui a demandé ce qu'il se passait finalement!que l'on etait un peu déçu !

ce qu'il faut que vous sachiez c'est que ce n'est pas elle qui gere tout ces changements hélas,elle s'est meme excusé pour le changement de date du concert et que si elle le pouvais elle se manifesterait.

le truc c'est que comme elle nous l'a expliqué,toute les choses professionelles ont changé,le patron,l'équipe etc... ce qui demande du temps pour remettre tout en place.

effectivement le temps peut paraitre long mais elle prepare vraiment quelque chose,et pour vous dire, au moment ou nous l'avons dérangé,elle etait en plein travail,et nous l'a confirmé de vive voix.

bref tout ça pour dire que ce serais formidable d'etre patients et de continuer a soutenir notre miss qui en a bien besoin quand meme.

Does anybody know the reliability of this source?

I'm sorry, I don't trust my ability to translate French enough to publicly post it.
I see Toc De Mac posted a translation here: http://alizeeamerica.com/forums/showthread.php?p=117419#post117419
which I've pasted below. Thanks TDM!!!

Hello everyone!

My friend and I saw Alizée this afternoon.

The first thing that we talked to her about was her absence; we asked her what was actually going on! [We told her] that we were a little disappointed!

What you must be aware of is that she herself is not, unfortunately, in charge of all of these changes. She even excused herself for the date changes of the concert and [said] that if she were able to, she would protest.

The thing is, as she explained to us, that all of the professional things (her boss, her team, etc.) have changed, which requires time to put things back in order.

The time can indeed seem long, but she really is preparing something, and to tell you, she was in the middle of working when we interrupted her, and she confirmed it to us in person.

In short, all of this to tell you that it would be great to have some patience and to continue to support our little lady who truly needs it.

[JCC]

I like to think she is, too. But the way it is managed, the pictures, and the biography, I dont really think she is the one who manages it:(. I think is her record Label, maybe she read some of the posts, but, I dont think she is the one who takes care of the account.

I have even asked to Tom, but he hasnt answered me:p.

If this news is accurate about the fan meeting Alizée, then I would say this is good news. Alizée is working, things are getting sorted out, and she apparently is not to blame for the postponement or probably even the lame excuse provided. We have to assume with new management and staff, the amount of control Alizée has may have also changed.

As far as her myspace is concerned, she said in an interview that she managed it herself. This may have also changed along with her label and team. I believe the Psychédeclips.com site was set up by her own publishing company (Wisteria), so I don’t know if her new team has any control over that, but I wouldn't be surprised if it gets shut down.

I think it’s funny how some of the videos on her myspace are linked to Youtube fan pages (rather than her own official Youtube page) which were probably uploaded without permission. This must have been her way of bypassing the fact that her official Youtube videos can only be watched in certain countries. I can’t imagine if her myspace page had always been run by a record company, they would link to fan based Youtube pages. I wonder how long that will last.

I hope she still has some control over her myspace, because that seems to be her only link to fans, and it gives you that sense that she is alive and out there somewhere, and that she is at least paying some attention to us...

[Ben]

The guy who posted that message, dbrisdereves - I saw him at the autograph session in Paris, and in France everyone knows him as one of the most prominent Mylene Farmer fans (you can see him a lot in the front row of her last concert DVD). So I have no reason to doubt his story.

And it is nice to hear. Though as I've stated several times before, I don't think it really matters how much of this is Alizée's fault or not. The fact that her management is in disarray at the moment makes it hard for us to do our thing, simple business. Of course it's good to know it's being working on.

Edit: Oh and the petition just reached 100 signatures, many of them Mexicans. I can't thank those guys enough, possibly going against their own self-interest to do the right thing. They really are the best! I hope Alizée's management gets to see it.

[Deepwaters]

This can explain why the move to reschedule the concert, perhaps, but I'm a little confused still about one thing. I know she's changed record labels, but why does that occasion a complete change in management, except to the extent that the record label is responsible for promotion to a degree?

I was under the impression that Alizée's team was managed not by RCA but by Jérémy and Sylvain Carpentier working together. Is that no longer true? Or was it ever true?

Jeremy and Sylvain, alot with Oxmo Puccino, Daniel Darc, Jean Farque and Michael-Ives Kotchman...only provide the creative collaboration for songs/lyrics/composition on her Psychedelices Album. They were never considered her "management". It will always be a team from the record label who has overall management of the artist.

Being that she is under Jive/Epic now, a reorganization is in order....which takes time. Other artists previously under RCA are most likely going through the same thing.

I agree. I think Alizée, Jérémy and Sylvain had complete control over how the album was done because I’m guessing they did the whole thing at their own expense before hooking up with a label. Beyond that point I think it’s a different story.

When Alizée first returned there was a lot of talk about her separating from MF/LB, becoming independent and taking charge of her own career. My guess is that this gave the public the impression that she had much more control than is really the case. When she signed her contracts, the company or companies involved probably assumed much more control than we thought and she has basically been doing whatever she’s been told all along. It wouldn’t surprise me if she has lost even more control with this management change. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. I suppose it depends on who is capable of doing the best job. It sure could use improving from what it has been, especially in the area of promotion.

Bringing a finished product to a record company is not the norm. I assumed maybe her contract was also not the norm. But knowing record companies and their desire to own and control everything, it wouldn’t surprise me if she had to bow to most their demands in order to get a deal.

[Ben]

Yeah. For example with the closing of RCA, one of her managers that I met at the autograph session (Steve) was out of a job. Fortunately, he found new work at Columbia Records.

[wolfram0790]

Well I hope to see her soon again. MTV awards are around the corner... I wonder if she'll win.

Well it would be pretty hard to have a pile of money sitting on the desk from good concert ticket sales and give it back hoping people will come some other day. And again, the two are 6 days apart and I really don't think anyone except the awards committee knows the winners yet. Check it out:

Alizée is going up against Michael Bolton. That's just not right. That no talent ass-clown better not win. (sorry couldn't resist) (for foreigners, that's a reference to the movie Office Space, though explaining kind of kills the joke)

Michael Bolton?
Oh there goes the middle-aged females.

[NarutoSoul]

Well I hope to see her soon again. MTV awards are around the corner... I wonder if she'll win.
If anyone else but her wins the award, I will annihilate them. I sacrificed a week and a half of free time, 44 hours of sleep, and 2 weeks of good health for her... And while I would do it for her regardless, if ANYONE has the gall to take that award from her, I will make every second of the short remainder of their life feel like an eternity of sanity-tearing agony.:mad:

P.S. Can we add an even angrier face? The red frown fails to convey my rage.

The awards presentation ceremony will be held October 29th and conducted by Rebecca de Alba and Juan Manuel Bernal: http://www.lunasauditorio.com.mx/index.asp?action=content.main&cID=26,27,427

Alizée is going up against Michael Bolton. That's just not right. That no talent ass-clown better not win. (sorry couldn't resist) (for foreigners, that's a reference to the movie Office Space, though explaining kind of kills the joke)


I think she has already won Lunas del Auditorio, that's why she is coming to Mexico (wait, Im not in Mexico anymore:() on October 29

Yahoo France has a fairly shallow music blog post (http://fr.yahoo.com/_ylt=AhxYKb2OcUyQPpQSb0KqhdWhVM8F;_ylv=9/SIG=12m1rvtms/**http%3A//new.fr.music.yahoo.com/blogs/avatar_de_stars/4874/alizele-dbut-de-la-fin-/) about the postponement linked from their front page (http://fr.yahoo.com/) today, but it really isn't saying anything new, and in fact appears to be just regurgitating opinion and speculation from fan forums over the past week. It's a half-assed, cookie-cutter attempt to stir the pot on a slow news day, if you ask me.

The headline's provocative though... "Alizée: the beginning of the end?"

Oh well, at least they're talking about her. When was the last time you saw Lili on the front page of Yahoo France?

What do the comments say? Do most of them assess the situation in a negative or positive light? *Sigh* I'm guessing its the former, but I can't be sure due to my lack of French-speaking skills.

Very, very negative...:(
-edit
I should have add that there are a lot of French music web sites reporting about it, and most comments of readers are very negative.

[mavsluver41]

Very, very negative...:(

You inspired me to translate some of the comments using some infallible online translators :cool:. Yeah most of them were really negative, but amidst the ones expressing glee, urging her to do a porno (:mad:), and the ever-smug "I told you so, you shouldn't have left MF," there were a few wishing her good luck in the future, and offering support and advice (though these were few and far between). Let us counteract their negativity with a surge of positive and unconditional support ;).

Yeah, what's the point of time off if there's no Alizée concert to go to?:blink:

Question Anyone Going To The Concert Mar 28/09

IF there's a concert in March I'll do all I can to go and I've succeeded before :)

I've already challenged Amigo! to a race to the front row, old age and treachery will win out :D

[heyamigo]

i think most people are scared there might be another postponement or outright cancellation meaning they lose travel expenses again.

[Tchaikovsky]

I think if that happened it would be the end of her career.

[Alizee=Czech-Princess!]

I'm really unsure. I 375% want to go, but I can't really afford to lose the money its going to cost should it be cancelled.
I'll probably end up going though, cos' I'm a prat!

[Zack -Alizee Lover-]

Well i just hope she holds another concert here in Mexico... Because im ready to go :)

Lilly-Town.com is preparing a party for after the show. More info:
http://lillytown.forumactif.net/actualite-f1/soiree-after-grand-rex-t151.htm

Translation by Mon Maquis:

Team Lilly Town wished to surprise the fans or just fans of Alizée ...

As you all know, in less than 2 months, many of us are meeting at the Grand Rex in Paris for the concert of Psychedelics Tour.

To make this evening of the 28th of March 2009 even more memorable, the team of Lilly Town has contacted a club in the heart of Paris in order to achieve an evening "AFTER GRAND REX" will be broadcast where all the greatest hits of Alizée!

If you dream of dancing to Fifty Sixty, Moi ... Lolita, Mademoiselle Juliette, L'Alizé, La Isla Bonita, Lilly Town, etc ... Gourmandises This evening is for you!

Will also be playing song of Mylène Farmer, Indochina, Britney Spears, Superbus, Yelle, Melissa Mars ... In short, all the artists that shape our forums for years!

You can imagine, it is always a club of the marsh! This club is hetero friendly (so do not panic;)) we therefore organize a weekend to celebrate Alizée and her concert in Paris, with the grand finale on Saturday 28 March, an evening which will host fans from the Grand Rex!

The club will charge less if you come in with 2 people together if you bring your concert tickets! (4 € per person instead of 8 €) ... No cheeeer the evening! (And for the brave, it can avoid investing in a hotel night in Paris! LoL)

Some small constraints that flow from source:

- It's a busy club that always shows full, so we should not drag on leaving the concert to get there ... (it's good it's not very far from the Grand Rex) ... To be sure you must get there before midnight, midnight deadline and a half.

- It must have its place on yourself together and be together if we want to enjoy a reduced rate.

- Be open and come for fun. lol

- You must be and adult to enter.

The club accommodates up to 300 people max, we will not be alone that day ... So in an effort to organize, we will soon introduce a small survey to see how many fans we can muster alizéens!

See you later for more information ...

Translation by Mon Maquis:

So in other words those of us who get to the Rex early enough and are quick enough to get in the front row for the concert, will then have to race past 2500 hundred people ( I believe the capacity of the Rex is 2800) in order to get into the party. The odds don't sound promising.

I will be at the concert in March with a co-worker. We're going to try our best to get in the front row for the concert, but I would think that would almost eliminate any chance of making it to the party. Being in the front row of the concert is more important. It's a tough choice, especially considering Alizée might show up at the party. I'll go for the sure thing. C'est la vie.

[Scruffydog777]

If Alizée releases 2 or 3 new singles in the next month, it would only make sense that she would have an autograph session afterwards. What better weekend to do it than when she has her concert? A concert, party, autograph session, all on the same weekend? What could be better? I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep today! ( I work nights)

[edgar93]

That's great Scruffy, I hope you will be able to attend to the confirmed ones. If you asked me, I had gone to the party for sure, we don't know what surprises those guys from AFC are preparing for us :)
Alizée herself could be possible too.

haha, well, don't let your imagination carry you away too far, just be ready for "just in case". I don't think you'll have a problem getting to that party if you want to go.

From Julien:

Hello,

For those who still coming to Paris... We've decided to cancel the party of the 28th of march BUT we will make something in the same club the 27th !

(With some Alizée's songs too, of course)

But the price will be the same for everybody... It's a normal day !

[bresil]

Give me more informations... place, $$$, and how to get the tickets!

[edgar93]

Give me more informations... place, $$$, and how to get the tickets!

you might want to check this thread here (http://www.alizee-forum.com/showthread.php?t=23817), it was 8 euros, and @ a gay bar (hetero friendly), but that was before it was canceled. you can contact Julien on LillyTown for more info.

[johnkim2222003]

I did not recognize anyone from this board shown up. I am sure these Lilly-town fans were disappointed, since I believe that they had dreamed that somehow she might show up. Anyway, they appeared having a good time.

Looked like Julien in the beginning. Otherwise, I can't see anyone from AAm. I wonder what the percentage of French fans were in that club. I'd even be happy to fly back to Paris if Alizee performed for a small club performance. Seems like they had a real nice time.
