[26-6-2013] tour de france

[melovelily]

After 10 years since the last time she was on the show, Alizée will finally return to tour de france :-D

Incase if you don't know which 03 performance i'm talking about then click here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56KFDlB1Z2A)

[lapinschous]

Haha, was thinking the same ^^ ...10 years later , will the internet go crazy over Alizée just like it did in 2003 after that famous upskirt amateur video that got so many views... :D

Well... let's hope she'll perform and not just sit there commenting on stuff like at the Grand 8 show .

[Scruffydog777]

Well in this case we have to post the video which took place on the 100th running of the Tour de France in 2003. This video took place in front of the Hotel de ville (city hall). On this occasion there were some members of the entertainment industry who were on strike and protesting what was going on.

As an obsessed cyclist (triathlete, more precisely) and BIG fan of Le Tour, I was excited to learn that this year's 100th edition of Le Tour de France will start in Corsica, with three stages including one through Ajaccio. It will be cool to see Alizée get some exposure during these stages, or before as part of the epic event's celebrations. Couldn't embed the Tour de France Cosrsica YT clip so here's a link:

I am very excited that the Tour this year starts in Corsica as well. I am so looking forward to seeing the island of Alizée.

Thanks for the link, Wizard.

Well, looks like 'Village Depart' on France3 with Alizée scheduled to appear will be on at 5am -5:50 EDT tomorrow (29 June) morning. I'm hoping that I've got this info right after doing some web surfing this evening. Now I've just got to figure out how to actually watch it when it comes on. I'll probably have to just wait until later and hope it gets captured and posted later.

http://www.france3.fr/programme-tv

http://www.depart-tdf-corse2013.com/fr/animations-ceremonies/


Well, it looks like I can watch the program that is on right now, whatever it is, using the little link in the upper RH corner of this page,

http://www.france3.fr/

using the Firefox addon 'Stealthy' with a French proxy. Maybe it will work for Village Depart as well. I wish I had a way to capture it, but it would be in low quality.

[lapinschous]

Here's the trailer ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuklkA-hlBs

People will now realize that the Corse region might be one of the most beautiful in France....

[Fall]

Thanks for the tip on Stealthy Ray! I'll try to stay up and watch it, but I have nothing to record it with :\

[Ray4AJ]

Well, I've been watching Village Départ this morning, and about halfway through she Tweeted about being on Monday, and Je veux bien. So I guess I'll be getting up early again on Monday.

[Bigdan]

She will be on the Ajaccio stage. And it will be Monday and not today.

[Jake04]

What?! I stayed up late for nothing?! Oh well! :D Thanks, BigDan!

[Scruffydog777]

The second stage ends on Sunday in Ajaccio, then leaves the next morning, Monday.

[Ray4AJ]

Because of the tour schedule, I thought it was strange that the article in the first post had her listed for today, as in 'Why not have her be on the show in Ajaccio?'. But as usual the information in the A zone leaves room for interpretation and at least now we have confirmation that she does expect to be on the show Monday.

The stream from France3 worked well enough to watch in the player's window but due to the proxy I used the bandwidth was too low for it to be great.

The show today had the Christophe Mae fellow perform twice, some cooking, and plenty of chit chat that I didn't catch a word of.

[Scruffydog777]

If I read the schedule right, the third stage leaving Ajaccio should start a little before 11 am, so I would think she'd perform not too long before that.

[Aldighieri]

I'm watching the Tour right now on tv.Italian public broadcast (RAI) offers a full coverage.So it's tomorrow at 11 am about? I'd try to see...i can record but I don't know if the pre-start show is enclosed....

No, if I'm not mistaken, they will be leaving Ajaccio shortly before 11 am on Monday and I would think Alizee will be performing before that, but please double check this info. If I had known more of the details earlier, I think I would've went.

[Ray4AJ]

It's a program on France3 network/channel I think exclusively. I don't think its actually affiliated with the tour. So it runs at 11am on Monday probably right on time.

I've been wondering if Alizée has ever performed professionally in Ajaccio before. If not, then it will probably be very special to her. Well, it will be anyway. I just hope its not her last professional performance anywhere.

[Wizard]

Well, I've been watching Village Départ this morning, and about halfway through she Tweeted about being on Monday, and Je veux bien. So I guess I'll be getting up early again on Monday.

Thanks for the heads up Ray4AJ! I'll be glued to the tele! 👀 No problem for me, I watch every stage of this awesome event, several times- just to make sure I don't miss anything😀

[Aldighieri]

THAnks for info.I've just read on facebook they confirmed monday 11 A.M.

[Un-rêve]

I've been wondering if Alizée has ever performed professionally in Ajaccio before. If not, then it will probably be very special to her. Well, it will be anyway.

Well she's never performed professionally in Ajaccio but I always hoped she would! The funny thing is she even said quite recently towards the end of the Comment ça va bien interview and I quote "It's even harder to perform at home!" So I'd say this years tour de france is a godsend and yeah it should be very special for her. :) :) :)


Anyway here's the thread to that interview I mentioned just incase you missed it.. I couldn't post the subtitled video here directly.

http://alizeeamerica.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7550

[Ray4AJ]

It's even harder to perform at home!

Un-rêve! Thanks for bringing that interview back to my attention. I remember watching it but I guess that was before the subtitles and I hadn't returned to it.

Now I wonder what she means by that... Harder to find an audience or a venue, or harder for her to perform before people she may be more familiar with?

By the way, I'm trying to remember the somewhat recent interview (may be print or may be video, or even just audio) where she mentions the fans whose goal is just to get more followers for themselves on social media.

[battousai]

I use stealthy and still can't get it to work. Anyone from the us/west coast have any luck?

[Ray4AJ]

I use stealthy and still can't get it to work. Anyone from the us/west coast have any luck?

Stealthy is a bit peculiar sometimes. I'm sure that in set up you selected to use a France (FR) proxy.

Sometimes though it will still get one from Germany for example, and then it won't work for the French television channels. Turn it off and back on sometimes works. You can go to one of those 'what is my ip' websites to see where it is choosing.

Also, be sure to have it already turned on before going to the website you want to use it on.

These are issues I've had before using it. I hope you are able to make it work.

[Fall]

I was watching it on TV5Monde this morning and I'm pretty sure I caught the words "Alizée" and "Je Veux Bien" :D
It was awesome seeing the villages and towns and countryside as they went along, I've never really watched it so this was a nice first :)

[User22]

Okay so if someone could update me, when does she perform ajaccio time or eastern standard time? Also, what channels/sites will. It air on that most people will rely on to watch her?

[battousai]

I hope someone records it cause looks like I might just be too far away from France being on the west coast. I keep getting connection time outs.

[Ray4AJ]

Monday July 1 11h00-11h50 Ajaccio/5AM EDT france3.fr "Village Depart"

SO many times I think I hear "Alizée" when I'm viewing French television, but in most cases it can't be. I'm not sure what I'm actually hearing. Wishful thinking perhaps?

[Wizard]

Watched Stage 2 this morning. Corsica is a beautiful place, and from the scenery, which NBC Sports is doing a great job of capturing, Ajaccio is wickedly stunning. The clear blue water is so damn inviting- I'm going to have to visit there and go scuba diving- after I cycle through those awesome roads as well, and hopefully see the main attraction there in concert- Alizee, which would be the main reason to go to Corsica in the first place!😀

[Karin]

yeaaa... today it was great... most the last minutes, when the camera showed Ajaccio panoramas... so beautiful...

[Jake04]

Ajaccio is so beautiful. No wonder Alizee chose to live there! It's great to get some kind of a tour of Ajaccio!

Edit: This would have been the perfect time to visit Ajaccio!!! Why haven't I thought of that??!! :PI::PI::PI:
Oh yeah, I don't have enough vacation days yet. :p

[Karin]

Why haven't I thought of that??!! :PI::PI::PI:

Why I wasn't born there, why?!?! ... :D

[lapinschous]

which NBC Sports is doing a great job of capturing


I thought that foreign channels were only airing what they received from tv channels at home : o But if NBC sports is actually using its own helicopters to broadcast Le Tour, then it's great to see that much international media coverage focused on Corsica ! :p

[Jake04]

Unfortunately, NBCSports is not gonna show Alizee's performance! So, Id have to settle for FR3 internet stream. :( I hope someone records it on HD. :pray:

[Ray4AJ]

Just noticed that Alizée is mentioned as an Ajaccio celebrity on the Tour de France webpage for Ajaccio!

http://www.letour.fr/le-tour/2013/us/stage-2.html

Go down to the bottom of the page to "Tourist Attractions" and click on "Finish" for some info on Ajaccio and to see her listed.


I didn't watch the stage today but I'm watching a rehash that's on NBCSN right now. You all are right, the place is even more beautiful than I had thought, and I thought quite a bit about it already.

Edit - ok, I've never watched any cycling before. I had not realized that it could be that exciting. I'm not sure that I'll watch more that the stage 3 start though. But it was great to see Ajaccio like that for a map person like myself. The best part was catching a glimpse of one of her. favorite beach restaurants from a chopper shot towards the end. I wish the weather was like that more often around here.

[Fall]

SO many times I think I hear "Alizée" when I'm viewing French television, but in most cases it can't be. I'm not sure what I'm actually hearing. Wishful thinking perhaps?

Most likely, but at least in this case, they have a reason to mention her :)

[Scruffydog777]

I'm really kicking myself for not looking into going to this, but it probably would have been almost impossible to have found a hotel room. Do they usually put the riders up in hotels over night?

[Jake04]

Probably. They're racing there for at least 3 days.

[Fall]

I don't think they would take all the hotel rooms but I imagine it would be difficult to find an affordable one where all the action is. Maybe what you could have done is book a hotel room in the following stage where there are no teams yet :D But still, you can always go next year if they stop by Corsica again :)

Also, I've got Stealthy installed now but I don't think it's working very well for me, the France3 page won't load or won't load all the way or correctly. I'll try to fix it before the show later, or just see if there's a live stream :/

[Rev]

I'm really kicking myself for not looking into going to this, but it probably would have been almost impossible to have found a hotel room. Do they usually put the riders up in hotels over night?

There is such a shortage of hotels that they brought in a cruise ship to house some of the Le Tour people. :)

It's the yellow one you see in yesterday's video.

"I love the" Tour" !"

[Saerdna]

ahh, here in Austria I have 700 satellite channels but that includes only 2 french one, France24 in english and french. As this is a newschannel, they do not show any live coverage from Le Tour. The french France 24 programme guide says "Sports" during this morning hours, but mentioned no starting time.

And Eurosports says 11:00 am "Tour de france" but they still show some fu**ing motobike-raching.

And no livestream is available for my country on any french tv homepage

That sucks. I wanna see Alizée :order::catfight:

[Karin]

that was so quickly... :-D by every show we must wait long time to see her... and now she was first :-D

...
goood... they are talking about album!

Thank you Karin for sharing the performance that quickly She looks adorable as usual on that one.
I assume that this means so much to Alizée, I mean performing in your hometown, your family members and friends are part of the audience (for sure, or?) and your a visible to a huge crowd in front of the tv´s....best connection :)

[skungpoomery]

Yes, well done Karin for posting this up so quickly - what a joy to see her looking and sounding so good in front of a big crowd and the announcer guy saying he "loves this song" and referring to the album etc. She was even doing some of the old girly dance moves again which added a lot to the whole performance - hopefully this has given a great piece of positive exposure - she must be buzzing right now!

[Karin]

Arrival, talk with the guests, and small interview about the new album "5"

Thanks for posting this, Karin- really cool! Good to see her singing and having a great time in her own home town. 👏

[ptjmwa]

So.... I haven't been on this website for a long time. Did her album do well?

[Scruffydog777]

Thanks for posting Karin. They're saying in AF that she lip synced it here which doesn't really matter in my book. Most of her live performances in the early years were prerecorded. I really enjoyed it and think it will do well to promote her album.

Edit:

So.... I haven't been on this website for a long time. Did her album do well?

Well it didn't seem to do that well, but we're still waiting to see if there might be some concerts scheduled in France, Mexico or somewhere else which might be in a more intimate setting than before.

[lapinschous]

Amazing , thanks Karin! I couldn't see it here in Switzerland...

What is wrong with the video editing??? Why so many cuts??? France 3 should stop hiring 12 years olds... it ruined the whole performance

[LXND3R]

What is wrong with the video editing??? Why so many cuts??? France 3 should stop hiring 12 years olds... it ruined the whole performance

Seriously, right? So annoying and off putting! :mad:

[lefty12357]

I agree with you guys, I don't like all the fast cuts. That is the trend in video editing in recent years, but this was especially cut up. The closeups on her face are too close (I never thought I'd ever say that) and this type of editing almost makes dancing a waste of time since you never get to see her really complete a series of moves. The editing seemed amateur to me.

As far as Alizée is concerned, she did great. Yes, it was lip-synced, but I expected that in this kind of situation.

And thanks to Karin for the video. :)

[Ray4AJ]

What is wrong with the video editing??? Why so many cuts??? France 3 should stop hiring 12 years olds... it ruined the whole performance

I noticed that too. My theory is that they were trying to hide the lipsynching.

Though she does a great job at it, but maybe they didn't know she would. Or something like that.

[ALS]

I watched it a second and third time and I really think the editor has a serious eye fetish. Just the way it was put together someone was really making sure that they got as many close ups of her eyes. Not that I'm complaining I loved those nice close ups but it was definitely too close for the face shots.

Alizée knows how to lip sync so there is no reason they had to get that close or chop up the video that much to cover up absolutely nothing.

[melovelily]

Fast cuts raped my eyes X•

[Lili4ever]

how can someone be so hot and cute :bow: I liked the performance, but i still wish she had some dancers. Jvb is such a fun song and it would be even more awesome with some dancers. I hope she will have some concerts sooner or later

[lapinschous]

This latest performance makes that video looks like it's got smooth transitions...to France 3's fast cuts... Even the british used less of them :D ...yet I used to hate the bbc for it :p

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXWmTTqQ5qY

[Lili4ever]

it is made on purpose to keep your attention. Pretty much all music videos and action movies are made like this. I was raging when they did that shit with La Isla Bonita video :pissed::pissed:

[BrianO1]

I wouldn't mind the cuts if they were in sync with the music. But these were just...random. Plus the random effects, like suddenly changing to black and white then back. Having a glow around the edges of the screen for a second then take them away...


Honestly, there is a very good chance someone was just pushing buttons in editing.

[Lili4ever]

i think the thing with Alizee is, that you don't want any of that nonsense and effects. Just focus the camera on her and let her charm do the rest

[lapinschous]

The best editing i've seen so far still remains the JPVA performance for la fête de la musique in 2003....

Everything was just perfect... :wub:

[Uroboros]

Not that a close look to her beautiful face is bad, but... she made some nice dance steps that were discarded in the editing :(

[battousai]

I haven't seen anyone post it yet so here HD version.
http://alizee-italia.com/download-videos.html

[Fall]

Well when I was watching it on the live stream that battousai posted, I really didn't mind it, and the second time it was a bit more noticeable but still didn't bother me. But reading you guys' comments on it and watching it again, I agree, somebody screwed up big time :confused:

Editing like that is terrible, as someone mentioned earlier, it was really frustrating on the La Isla Bonita performance from the MCE days. For me another one that kills me is the editing in the Remember The Time music video for MJ, very memorable video but the editing makes it impossible to see (let alone learn) the choreography entirely, and as an MJ imitator, it's crippling :(

Anyway halfway through the JVB I was starting to forget about the cuts, just because I'm really happy for her. It's lovely to see her perform in her hometown with people there cheering her on, waving the Corsican flag. Yes it was lip synced but regardless, she looked totally in her element, and I hope there was a big celebration at the Jacoteys home afterwards. :)

Also, thanks yet again Battousai! ^

[Ray4AJ]

So during the interview I think they were talking about Corsica and she suddenly grabs her watch and shows the "2A" tattoo. I didn't understand what was being said but I thought she was saying it referred to Southern Corsica rather than "Alizée and Annily" like she usually says.

[C-4]

Wow, I never saw Ajaccio except from photos, usually posted here, or online, but the Tour really showed how beautiful the entire island is!

And thank you to Karin who so generously posted the Alizée interview and song!
I would never have seen it, but for your generosity.

[ALS]

Well I figured out the editing after watching the performance again.

If you look at the long shot out front below the stage you'll notice the crowd behind her and all the balloons and flags. They purposely got up tight on her to eliminate the distraction to the viewer of the people standing behind her.

We watch her because we're fans but to the average viewer of the Tour De France Alizée is an after thought. They wanted to keep the action on Alizée not have the people standing behind her getting the attention trying to get themselves in every shot.

My subscribers didn't seem to be very interested in that interview so I didn't do it right away as I usually do (add to that that I'm currently working 12 hours a day in the busiest hospital center in switzerland...) but if no one else has, I'll try to do it tomorrow just for AAm, if you guys want to ofc. :)

I'd really appreciate it, when you get time. The way she was gesturing, pointing all over town, I just have to know what she was saying about Corsica, Ajaccio and her favorite beach. And the 2A tattoo.

I have noticed that I prefer watching the interviews over the performances as the performances are so similar but each interview is unique.

[lapinschous]

Ok great , I didn't get to watch the whole interview yet so it'll be a bit more fun than usual .

But if you guys could provide me with the full length HD link that'd be cool , so I can download the file right now ... the thing is I didn't want to get a new contract with an internet provider for just the two months I'm renting my room close to the hospital so I have to go to the closest coffee shop and use a public WiFi for several hours... :/

Nope, I have nothing to ask about. For now at least. Thanks so much for doing this for us. When I got home and was able to watch it there had already been over 100 views so I'm sure all those people appreciated it as well.
