Is Alizée mixed?????

[Marquis<3Alizée]

I've just been really curious about this. It's always in my head if Alizée is mixed with 1 or more nationalites. If anyone knows please let me know.

[user472884]

I'd ask Docdtv on this one

I know she's said that she's part Sicilian

Get out of here I'm half Sicilian on my mom side at least. That's very cool:).

[ALS]

I think Docdtv found that her father Joseph's family was from northern France near the Belgium border and her mom Michelle's family is from Corsica.

So she's not half Sicilian?

[Människöpesten]

well, corsica is in that region. it's entirely possible her mothers family isn't solely from corsica.

[Deepwaters]

A lot of native Corsicans are part Sicilian or have ancestry from other parts of Italy, so that's very possible.

[user472884]

So she's not half Sicilian?

Not a flat "half" (that we know of)

All we know is that during the polaroid photoshoot, she mentioned to the photographer (while wearing the Sicilian wedding garment) that she had some Sicilian ancestry.

Right, I too remember there was talk of a sicilian heritage during the Polaroid shooting session.
Guess corsicans and sicilians have much in common anyway.

[pepelepew]

Those beautiful brown eyes and that olive complexion give it away. Her mother really has Sicilian or Italian traits. Alizee definitely offers many things you can't refuse loll:wub:

[FanDeAliFee]

If you had wanted to ask a personal question of Alizée like the national characters of her heritage, you should have gone to the Tel Aviv concert and paid for admission to the reception which she attended. Even if you had asked politely, you might not have gotten an answer. But at least your attendance would have shown you were truly supportive.

I just took a look at the Corsican girl's public Facebook site. Unless I made a mistake, I think the Alizéee America Facebook site has now fallen off her official list of "Likes and Interests" in favor of new entries.

Did anyone at Alizée America other than Doron go to Tel Aviv to see her? I am through trying to organize ANYTHING here, but perhaps Ben would agree to run an Alizée Concert Lottery, where you buy a chance to have your expenses paid to attend her next concert as the AAm rep.

It would have also showed that you had money. :rolleyes:

Seriously, Doc, that was uncalled for. Completely.

[wasabi622]

It's hard to say that anyone these days are actually well.. not mixed. (I'd say pure, but that has a negative Ayran ring to it. :p)

I mean, who really is just one nationality? Most of my friends are a mixture of French, German, Italian, Canadian, English, and so on. Even me. Though I thought that I was just Korean, I found out that a long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.. :p NO. I mean, I found out that one of my ancestors from the 15th century was Chinese.

Yeah man totaly agree I'm mixed with four differnet nationalites I'm 50% puerto rican, 25% Sicilian, 25% Irish and and 5% Swedish. I know a lot of mixed people some are mixed with French and are African American and I know a lot of latinos who are mixed. Basicly were I come from my city is full with mixed people, not everybody but the majority.

[pepelepew]

Alll I know is that God put together the right mix with Alizee. Blended perfection:wub:

[Deepwaters]

I mean, who really is just one nationality?

My own ancestry is English, Irish, German, French, Cherokee, and African (I don't know which tribe). That's just the parts I know about. My white ancestors have been in America since 1640, my black ancestors roughly the same, and my Native American ancestors much longer.

Corsica has been settled, conquered, or occupied by an unknown indigenous people, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Normans, Italians, and French, and is now a part of the modern world and hence a stew pot. There is no such thing as a "pure" Corsican people. Alizée has an Italian look about her, I think deriving more from her mother than her father, judging by their photos. But like all Corsicans, she is surely a genetic blend.

I'm more impressed that you're 105%, rather than your wide variety of blood
;)

[Människöpesten]

Amurican, English, Irish, Swiss German, French andddddd that's it.

[Tchaikovsky]

German here, as far as I know.

[Criss_pl]

Yes, Sicilia and Corsica have a lot in common. It's still Mediterranean Sea, and truly saying Corsica may have more to do with Sicilia than Mainland France.
And second yes, everybody is a "mix" of different nationalities; one can be 'pure' German/French, but only to 4-5 generations back. There is always some "foreign element" in the family tree.
I can say that going 5 generations back, all my ancestors are Poles. So I'm quite pure:p

[MarkL]

O man, dont get me started on what I am, I got like 5 diff nationalies going on right now lol.
-Slovenian
-German
-Polish
-Belarus
-Canadian

[pepelepew]

English, Irish, German, Cherokee, Blackfoot Actually I'm an American!:)

[user472884]

English, Irish, German, Cherokee, Blackfoot Actually I'm an American!:)

I just love the concept of "American", and its intangibility

[Azhiri]

I'm about 70% Polish on my dad's side. My last name is Fabisinski, so it's pretty obvious :p Then, on the same side, I have German and, lucky me, some French! :)

On my mom's side I'm mostly Jewish (in fact, during WW2 my great grandmother was sent to Mauthausen, one of the Nazi concentration camps for Jewish prisoners; she was liberated before long, though, and she survived. Fascinating story, really). I also have Irish blood, and English too because some of my ancestors arrived on the Mayflower.

[dwightks]

It's cool how everyone here has a bit of many different nationalities. I was born in the United States but my blood is pure Indian (asian not native american) for at least 10 generations, probably even longer than that.

[user472884]

I'm a full 50% (ha) first generation Korean (daddy born in South Korea)

and on my mom's side... I'm a cluster-fuck mess of Western European blood

The most interesting result? Hair. I have kinda-curly hair (if I grow it out), lots of leg/arm/chest/etc hair (which is all jet-black), very asian facial hair, but the muttonchops of an Irishman

and also I can (and have) eaten kimchi jjigae and coddle in the same sitting, but I find the former much more interesting.

Mathausen

It is spelled Mauthausen. In German, Mauthaus means toll house. The origin of the name is self-evident from the town's location at the confluence of the Danube and its tributary, the Enns. (Enns is also the name of the biggest nearby city.) The natural strategic value of this general area made it the site of a giant military camp in Imperial Roman times, named Lauriacum.

Oops! Mad typo on my part. Thanks for the fun facts too, hehe. Learn something new every day, right? :)

[Criss_pl]

It is spelled Mauthausen.
Since summer 40' it was also known as Mauthausen-Gusen, one of the most severe Nazi labour camps...

My last name is Fabisinski, so it's pretty obvious :p

Obvious ending is obvious:p But spelling it very correctly with ń and ś is just impossible for English speakers:)

Well, USA is a country of immigrants from all over the world, and so on, members of AAm represent this mix of different nationalities, what is quite interesting. Lot of people came to U.S in various times, making it a country mixed of different races, cultures and religions.

[ALS]

My Moms side, her mothers family was Scottish and dads family German

My Dads side his mothers family was French from Alsace-Lorraine and his fathers family was German.

So 50% German, 25% French and 25% Scottish.

In America we are all pretty much mutts.

[Marquis<3Alizée]

That's why they call America the Melting pot so many different people. I wouldn't prefer us mutts though.

[MarkL]

Well that pretty much is what North America is considering we decided to totally decimate and alienate the natives to this region. We're all European and Asian pretty much because our families immigrated here a WHILE back...

[Deepwaters]

And African. Don't forget them. Just because they didn't come voluntarily doesn't mean their descendants aren't still here.

[MarkL]

Oh yeah, and Australia, and South America well the point is North American culture consists of pretty much every other continents culture xcept our own because we destroyed our own lol.

[RobandSandy]

Wow 105% that is sooo cool Marquis. I am 100% Irish and a little Seminole on the side! But people still guess me for being Italian anyway cause of my Indian side,,,some were native to America. And anyone can see Alizée has either some Italian or Spanish traits,,,I thought for sure she was a cute Mexican girl when I saw LIB the first time,,until she said merci. That really got me confused and curious, so I did a search and all these French songs came up, then I said Hmmm, she must be French, interesting.

[Tom]

I'm 75% Swedish and 25% English :cool:

[Människöpesten]

I'm 75% Swedish and 25% English :cool:

damn swedes and your good music :P

[The Gate Keeper]

Everyone is "mixed" to some degree

I am
Norwegian
German
Portuguese
And Japanese
:cool:
Mostly Norwegian though

[Marquis<3Alizée]

I'm 75% Swedish and 25% English :cool:

I'm only 5% Swedish.

damn norwegians and their black metal.

That symphonic rock u told me about a while ago is really good Manni!

[Tomtentp]

Hmm actually it depends on how long back in time you look.
7 or so generations I'm 100% Swedish.
15 generations and I would probably be 50% Swedish and 50% Germane.
5000 generations and we all would be 99% African ( don't tell that to the nazis, they would flip ^^)

[user472884]

5000 generations and we all would be 99% African

And if you want to go even farther than that, we're all 100% spontaneously created by Those Who Came Before for the sole purpose to serve them.

And then, well, you know... Eve had to go be a bitch and steal the apple which pissed off Those Who Came Before and incited in fact the first war.

That would explain my constant deja vu....

[Roman]

Well, I'll say that with Alizée, it seems like there's a little something there that you don't necessarily notice at first. If you get a close look at her hair, for example... I think she has some exotic elements in that she has certain features that are not immediately obvious or expected. Somehow she just seems to have elements that are a little bit unusual.
She's a half breed, alright. Half cute, half sexy. :P

[wasabi622]

5000 generations and we all would be 99% African ( don't tell that to the nazis, they would flip ^^)

Not really, because it wasn't what we currently identity as Africa. More like, the generic blob of land that after a couple millions of years will separate and form to become Africa.

[Deepwaters]

Wasabi, 5000 generations is approximately 150,000 years. Africa had approximately the same relative position to other continents then that it does now. That's about as far back as Homo sapiens goes, give or take a little.

That would be a my bad. I thought he was referring to Austrelopithecus Africanus(sp???), which came much earlier than homo sapiens, which was the first hint that humans may have in fact originated from Africa.

Yeah, it's confusing. Not only those early precursors on the hominid line, but also our species itself (much later), is supposed to have arisen in Africa.

However, just to be a nitpicker, the Australopithecines were around some 3.5 million years ago. Supercontinents form and break up cyclically under pressure of plate techtonics. Pangaea is the name given to the most recent supercontinent, and it broke up beginning in the early-middle Jurassic era, about 175 million years ago. Africa didn't separate from South America and India however until the early Cretaceous era, about 25 million years later. It's safe to say nonetheless that the Australopithecines lived in Africa, and not in Pangaea or in Gondwana (the minor supercontinent formed by the breakup of northern Pangaea). 150 million years ago is considerably earlier than 3.5 million years ago. On a human or hominid scale of evolutionary time, Africa has always been in existence.

[user472884]

I'm telling you, Those Who Came Before

just doublethink it

did they not recently find another ancestor that was 4.1 million years old? could've sworn I saw that on a nat geo magazine. :blink:

oh and look what I found!

they actually had larger brains than us. yet they didn't use as much of it as we do :rolleyes:

[User22]
