That's the coolest thing for me, I suppose it's like one degree of separation from MJ. Will.I.Am was working with him on stuff a while back in Ireland (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwXFTZR3FpU), even appearing on a remix of The Girl Is Mine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqt63nSjKCA). Now he'll be performing with Alizée! I hope he likes her and considers working with her, that would be awesome :bow:

Dressed very sharp and the hair was so different than the way she usually wears it.

White blazer with a black top similar to a sports bra, white pants with a black stripe running down the leg and black heels.

Also i took a look at a Britney Spears forum, and even though I expected it to be nothing but Lili bashing, it was not that bad. Sure, you had a few die hard Spears fans saying some mean things, but there were quite a few people who said Lili did a good job. That was nice to see.

I just watched the whole performance for the first time, I was having some issues with the live streams before. Anyway, some peeps said it wasn't very good but I though it was fun :) It wasn't her best performance ever but I think she did well. She was kinda stuck next to Will.I.Am and looking at him from time to time, but she was dancing all the while. It was also neat to hear her pronounce her name in English :D

She looks great, but even though I think she's going through another change in appearance, I hope this is just a temporary thing. For me there is something about her forehead that defines her, that sets her apart.

As far as how she sounded, I thought she sounded as good as those songs would allow. The songs just weren't that good to begin with.

Yeah watch the video again Britney fans.. it was a blast for the crowd if not for the gays. :)))

That was nice to see.

Thanks for the info. :aha:


Well singing this song live had to be hard ( I guess that's why Britney Spears doesn't ) but singing it live on stage and in a language that's not even your own has to be unthinkable, but I guess she was caught up in the moment and that fills my heart with joy.. hats off to her!!! :hatsoff:

Anyway I actually preferred this performance over the other two and she seemed to really be into it and in hindsight it seems that will.i.am must've noticed her Chacha performance on DALS if not been blown away by it in order to hook up with her here. :aha:

There's no point looking back now though.. fuck no.. not today thank you kindly.

pronouncing it terribly wrong... her name has simply one syllable too much...

well it was... it's not really a great song anyway but it's also a shit song to sing live so yeah she did quite well but I think the outfit suited her better than the song... personally her outfit isn't my cup of tea but hell she's pretty smashing...

I saw a lot of horrible comments under the youtube video Ronny uploaded and I really hope that performance didn't do her any harm...

It sounded to me like she pronounced it Ali-ZEEEE not Ali-Zay in that song.

Edit:



I saw a lot of horrible comments under the youtube video Ronny uploaded and I really hope that performance didn't do her any harm...

I made a comment that I wasn't thrilled with her being the one using profanity singing Scream and Shout and Ronny wasn't happy with me. I didn't respond to his comment it was better to just to let it die.

I was thinking about Scruffydogs interaction with the regular folks in France and how they remember Alizée as the young girl who sings the dirty songs. :(

Here she is trying to resurrect her career and she gets an opportunity to make a splash on NJR's Music Awards and this is the song they want her to do in a duet. I know she used it in the final show on DALS but I felt it wasn't a song she should be singing. Here on national television we have Alizée referring to herself in the song as a bitch.

I'm sorry but it sounded nothing like people (or Alizée herself) normally pronounce her name.

I can't really describe it in English how she pronounced in wrong so let's try it in my mother tongue..

in German we would pronounce it like "A-li-see". And if I listen to this to me it sounds like "A-li-sä". And here the 'i' sounds different than normally. I can't really describe how. I'm sure she knows how to pronounce her name. But "Brit-ney" has one syllable less than "A-li-zée". So she tries to put her name in a rhythm that is perfect for the name "Britney" but not for Alizée. The "i" in Alizée is slightly longer than the "i" in Britney and the "zée" is a softer last syllable. But in the song this soft ending sounds quite harsh.

Euphoria
12-16-2013, 07:08 PM
That's just from azlyrics, which is user submitted. They don't exactly pay attention to punctuation. Where she says "Britney bitch" is from her song Gimme More and it should have a comma. In the original song she says "It's Britney, bitch." The song is about the paparazzi's obsession with her. She's addressing them. Scream and Shout is heavily edited, and they cut that part in the song because it's fairly iconic for Britney at this point.

She's not calling herself a bitch.

My mistake, people who are putting the lyrics up on the net are not using proper punctuation. It does make a big difference if there is a comma or not after Britney. :(

Correct version of the line in the song.
You are now-now rockin' with will.i.am and Britney, bitch

She needed to momentary pause due to the comma and she didn't so it sounds like Alizée bitch. If she had paused for just a moment then the proper meaning would have come across in the song. Will-I,am and Alizée, slight pause bitch.

She rushed it so it does sound like what I referred to earlier.

Im a bit confused with all the coments about how she "prounonced her name in english"...your name doesnt change with the language you are speaking. I still pronounce my name the same way if I am speaking french, spanish, english, or whatever.

The reason she pronounced her name differently is not because the song is in English, its because she had to pronounce it differently to fit with the songs beat.


The lyrics are " Will.I.am and Britney, Bitch"

if she pronounced her name the way she normally does ( ah-lee-zay) it would not have fit the beat. You will notice they even took out the "and" between the two names, what was sung was " you are now now rockin with Will.I.Am Alizee, bitch."




As for this hurting her image or something, i doubt it, her other performances that night were good. Plus she was not the only to have an off performance, Katy Perry sang at the same award show, and had a horrible time. The song started with horrible lip-sync play back, and half way through the song they stopped, and then re-started with Perry singing live, and it was pretty bad.

The negative comments on the video are probably a mix of Spears and Will.I.Am fans. Spears fans saying "how dare she sing Britney's part" and Will fans blaming her for the performance not being great.

I do hope Lili doesnt take the comments personally if she sees them, from what I understand, Tal, or one of the ohter female singers was supposed to be on stage with Will, not Alizee. Im sure which ever singer that was would have received the same horrible comments from the same people. :noway:

It's just a pissing contest from fans of other singers who didn't win either the american or the French dance contest. Wah, wah, wah!

And why didn't they win?! BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T GOOD ENOUGH! THAT'S WHY!

Just a bunch of whining babies. Brittney Spears hasn't got the class to clean the toilet Alizée just used.

As for Katy Perry, for all the hype I see about her on TV, you would think that she could at least sing a song of her's live, without sounding poorly.

My wife likes to watch E! News about what is going on in Hollyweird. I cannot believe how some of their stories are about a personality who is not doing anything significant on the day E is reporting about them. It's a real stretch at best. And please, don't get me started on the Kardashians!

I didn't know that. I wonder how many said no before they approached Alizée to do the performance. We heard Britney was replaced by Alizée, I wonder if she turned it down because the performance was going to be done live?

I'm with you on this one Foxy I would have advised Alizée to pass on this particular duet because of the song.

Most likely, ALS. Britney is pretty famous for always lip synching her performances. Her excuse is that it's too hard to dance and sing at the same time. Guess there wasn't enough dancing in this performance. ;)

Well I mean, you may not but I think Alizée does (though you're probably right on the beat thing)

This example isn't her name, but the word "America" in her Scruffy's hello videos btw
Here she says "America" differently than she did back in 2010:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiEvlYdVFWs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJcmtE1gUXo

In 2010 she pronounced it with a French accent, the guttural R, as well as the syllable stress thing. This year in Ajaccio it sounded more like an native English speaker would say it, sorta like Ahmerric-ha. Both times she said Alizée like any French person would though :blink: Idk man, I just find it neat for some reason. :D

I think it was an opportunity for her to do something fun, and she had fun doing it. Even though as fans we have differing tastes in music, even among Alizée's songs, she has her own preferences also.

She get's starstruck too, just like anyone else. Notice how excited she was to see Nikos' photos of her and Will.I.Am together?

Don't know why the guy on the right is so happy though.

Video here > CLICK! (http://cs528118v4.vk.me/u27955375/videos/13b74017b7.720.mp4)

I doubt many Alizée fans would pass up an opportunity to go up like that and (try) to sing one of her songs with her. Regardless of what anyone might say who watched it.

And last, I don't think there are going to be any lasting effects from her performance with him. People who don't like her still won't, and probably never will.

As always, just my random thoughts.

I agree with Ray. People weren't exactly chanting her name all day and night outside her hotel before that performance. If anyone turns away because of it then maybe they weren't gonna stick around anyway. :dontknow:

It's just a pissing contest from fans of other singers who didn't win either the american or the French dance contest. Wah, wah, wah!

And why didn't they win?! BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T GOOD ENOUGH! THAT'S WHY!

Just a bunch of whining babies. Brittney Spears hasn't got the class to clean the toilet Alizée just used.

As for Katy Perry, for all the hype I see about her on TV, you would think that she could at least sing a song of her's live, without sounding poorly.

My wife likes to watch E! News about what is going on in Hollyweird. I cannot believe how some of their stories are about a personality who is not doing anything significant on the day E is reporting about them. It's a real stretch at best. And please, don't get me started on the Kardashians!

I'm in total agreement here w/ C-4. Good commentary!

Personally, and for all it's worth (not much btw :))- I would prefer that Alizée sing solo or at least with someone of a genre more suited to her voice. It almost seems like her management team is trying too hard to get her to fit in. While I find this clip of her with Will-i-am (weird way to spell a name) "cute" (but ONLY because she's in it)- it's not something I will watch more than once. I hope this is not an indication of the direction her new album will take.

Speaking of Britney, she just got a two year gig in Las Vegas paying $15 million a year. Sounds good right?, Well Celine Dion is getting paid $100 million a year and Cher is getting $60 million a year to perform on the strip.

To be perfectly honest, I think what she did with Will-I-am is a direction she would have preferred to have gone in if she had a say in the way her career first developed, but thank God, MF and LB came along and brought out that incredibly beautiful princess inside of her.

As far as Britney only making a fraction of what Celine is getting, that's easily understandable. Celine has an incredible voice compared to Britney and Britney used to put on a good show, but she's no spring chicken and she certainly isn't the eye candy she used to be. Still Las Vegas seems to be a mecca for fading stars, so it doesn't.........well actually it does and it doesn't surprise me. It doesn't seem like she should be able to pull in that much, but a lot of performers of varying degrees of talent, do get a fat pay check for performing there for drawing customers to their casinos.

Can't forget that Britney also ruined The Way You Make Me Feel. A classic, and she performed it next to MJ for crying out loud.
Alizée may not have sounded perfect, but at least unlike Britney's, her voice could never be used as torture: (Skip to @2:16) (at your own risk :p)

And this was during "her prime," way before the whole bald head episode.

The song sucks anyways so it doesnt really matter. I mean, Will I Am isnt a great artist. His songs sound boring and its always this boring tech theme he has going on.

What are you talking about! Britney nailed that performance. It wasn't about the singing.

By the way, she even did OK with the singing. :)


Just so you know, I am not a Britney fan (and I agree with the toilet comment above). I had not seen this video before.

Wow, really?? Heh, I first watched this performance 7 or 8 years ago and I've always hated it to be honest, when she sings anyway, because the eye candy part was fine. So you are right about it not being about the singing, because in actual concert tour performances of the song (this was a 30th anniversary concert in MSG), a female backup dancer would play the girl from the music video and just walk around.

I don't really have anything against Britney except that I think her singing in this performance could have been better :D I'm also not a fan.

I doubt there are too many Britney fans, Will.I.am. fans or even Olly Murs fans here for that matter and well I very much doubt I would ever purchase any of their songs either.. but then again I never pay money for any songs/albums even though I like many artists out there. Well the bottom line is I have never been a fan of anyone but Alizée and I say that because she's the only one I have a collection of albums, singles and merchandise from and the only one I have followed all these years and then some.

Anyway back on topic and going back to the NRJ Will.I. am. and Alizée performance. I thought she sounded very British in the way she said " Turn the shit up " and I found that kinda cute. :) I dunno what Will. I. am. made of it though.. but for one desperate moment there, he crept back in her memory and god it's so painful... something that's so close yet still so far out of reach.
