In this article http://www.lavoixdunord.fr/region/ce-dimanche-pour-le-calais-live-6300-fans-enflamment-ia33b0n2066538, Alizée is mentioned under the photo with her:

Les organisateurs du Calais live avaient gardé le secret jusqu’au bout... Alizée était l’invitée surprise de la soirée avec son titre « Blonde », ce qui explique sa nouvelle coupe de cheveux...

And traslated by Google:
The organizers of live Calais had kept secret until the end ... Alizée was surprise guest of the evening with her song "Blonde," which explains her new haircut ...

ALizée is probably in terrific shape after all the dancing she has done last year. I believe she is more muscular now, and that is why the dress makes her look as BigDan described.

She needs a change of style from that particular dress to accent her body in a positive way.

(Listen to me! That's what I get for watching Fashion Police!) :facepalm:

In the past I think we've referred to those legs as being dancer legs, made also a little muscular by the kick boxing she does and that dress does make them look bigger than they already are.

The crowd sounded young but enthusiastic in the beginning. They sounded like they were getting more into the song as they learned the lyrics and more importantly, they sounded even more enthusiastic at the end.

I think it's really unfortunate that they didn't wait until the video was ready to release the song. It seems the song didn't do that well initially and so it has faded from , where as if they had waited longer, it would have been a tremendous one, two, three punch, to have, the song, the video, then public appearances all come out at once.

It sounded well received, so can a video an public appearances rescue this song? I'm a lot more optimistic than I was a few weeks ago.

EDIT: I just checked "just" one of the singes charts in France, http://francemusiccharts.wordpress.com/2014/04/09/week-ending-6th-april-2014-singles-chart/, of the top 200 songs and I didn't see this song.

The enthusiastic crowd at the beginning was due to her new found popularity. The enthusiasm at the end was because they liked the song. Will Sony's timing again hurt her chances for a successful album? I guess that all depends on how good the video is.

I'm afraid I think I might be losing the faith. It saddens me to say it but I agree with Big Dan about that outfit. That picture of her on stage has to be THE worst photograph of Alizee I have ever seen. It probably doesn't help that I'm not a fan of the blonde hair either. I've tried, honestly I have. I didn't like it at first so I've given it time but the more I see it the less I like it. I just don't think it suits her at all. The single itself is ok but I think Scruffy is right about the lack of a video to help it along. It strikes me that Sony are doing everything arse about face, and making the same mistakes that they did with '5'.

Apart from all of that I just don't understand where this whole 'blonde' thing came from? What inspired that? If anyone involved with Alizee, including her, was interested in commercial success then why not simply cash in on the whole DALS thing and bring out a song and a video centered on dancing? Why completely change the image of the person who has just won over a lot of the French public and then release a totally unrelated song? I just don't get it at all form a marketing perspective.

does anyone have the mp3 of the video? It's blocked in Germany and even if I managed to find a way to watch it my download helper isn't working with it.

By the way I don't think the outfit looks that bad... I would have picked another skirt but I like the rest... and remember that outfit she was wearing in Mexico in 2009? THAT one was horrible...

thanks for the fan-photos, they are really cute :)

To be perfectly honest, it makes her look fat or should I say fattish. The look definitely reminds me of France Gall as far as hair style and dress, except France Gall wasn't fat and it's just another reason why I've grown so disillusioned with Sony. Can't they see the obvious? Blonde if I'm corrrect, started out around 63 on the French charts. I believe by the time of this performance which I'm sure will be followed up quickly by a video, I don't think it was even in the top 200. What kind of poor planning is that?


and Panther brought out a great point,

As far as the blonde hair, I hope it's temporary. She looks good as a blond, but there was nothing as good as the original product right out of the box. There was no way that could be improved on. But she has been dying her hair darker for some time now, so if the blond is a temporary thing it doesn't really matter. If she keeps it, well she has gotten so far away from what she used to be, that wouldn't matter either.



Apparently there going to have to keep this image for a while, whether they plan on returning to the original or not. But it seems a terrible time for an image change. You have these new found fans, then you change your hair color to a blond. I'm sure that would cause her to lose more fans, fans it took her a long time to get as opposed to winning her new fans, but Sony let her go through a radical image change during 5 that certainly didn't do her any good so it doesn't surprise me.

I don't want to be on side of Sony, but I think the image and everything around is only and only in hands of Alizée. I think nobody wanted from her, or nobody pushed her to change the color of her hair, it was her idea. She herself said, she wanted it before. Same with hairstyle and the outfits, again it is only Alizée's decision.

I think you are for the most part correct, but after UEDS which was in the hands of Institutibles flopped and it was announced that Jive/Epic/Sony would be producing the next album, I was so optimistic. I thought this company, especially with her history, will not release an album, unless it's a sure thing.

Then we had that big delay between the release of ACDLA and JVB and the official reason was it was the wrong time of year to release the album........................b*** s***! I think they weren't happy with the album and were on the verge of cancelling it, but maybe changes were made that made them change their mind or maybe someone (someone with incredible beauty and charm) talked them out of it.

I remember seeing early on in the production of the album a picture posted from the studio of some stern faced individuals (maybe now thinking back they might have been musicians or maybe they were just janitors) and I thought these guys are not going to be beguilled by her beauty. If they put out an album it will be a good one.

There was the drastic image change in the middle of production, then there was big delay and though I stayed loyal til the end when it ultimately flopped. I did start to lose all confidence in them.

I think they let her have way too much say in this and every album and she hasn't demonstrated one thing to me over the years, that shows me she knows anything about the business, yet they still listen to her.

I'm not really upset (now) with the blonde song and hopefully the temporary image change. I am upset by the very poor timing and again an image that was presented on stage that could have been so much better.

when it comes to music videos Germany is living under a rock. Trust me.

Every time I click on a link to one of the official music/audio videos on Alizée's channel or I want to watch clips where they used audios from the albums this happens:

http://i61.tinypic.com/301lcld.png

And let's say that happens nearly all the time when you try to watch any music videos. I "love" it that they do not even say "it contains music from blablabla" anymore. No. They say "it could contain". Yeah. So they are simply blocking everything.

back to topic: Thanks for the link. It's working fine :)

Over the 7 years since I started putting together videos of Alizée, just about everyone of them is blocked in Germany. Does anyone know the reason?

I was also curious about the program Dancing Avec Les Stars. Certainly it's a take off on the American Dancing with the Stars. In Europe, do they have to come up with some agreement with the U.S. for them to use that name?

Each country (at least I think so) in EU has except the all music labels a company, which cares about the music rights of many artists and such other things. Mostly such companies are under the supervision of the country (our is). And they have contracts, example with Google (Youtube). So example the music of Alizée can be seen in many countries. If there is not such contract, case of Germany, easily the music is blocked in the country.

Btw. you can see the logo of such french company, on Cinq back cover - SCPP http://www.scpp.fr/SCPP/

in Germany it is GEMA, in Slovakia SOZA, in Czech OSA. . .

I guess TV station must pay for some 'license' which include whole concept, motive etc. For example, in Poland the most popular talent show is The X Factor which has the same music, intro etc. like the original, British version.

Like J says below, X Factor and Dancing With The Stars are shows originated in the UK. The original is called Strictly Come Dancing. I remember seeing the BBC logo at the end of the credits of every DALS episode, so you're probably right about having to come to some sort of agreement. :13:

Like people say, it's energetic which is great; the type of song an audience can really get into, but that is such a horrible outfit. Who in the world chose it? Performances like this and a "good" video could really help out the song, but they may have waited too long. Blonde seems to have already fallen off the charts. Is it possible to resurrect it?

Famous people have the problem that everyone wants a piece of them and there's not enough to go around. We want our idol to accept us as an integral part of the illusion we created in our heads, a situation the idol cannot possibly accommodate. Fans create a definition of their idol, and they demand that the idol live up to that definition. It's a definition created from very little information primarily based on the idol's stage persona. The idol then repeatedly violates those boundaries, discouraging their fans. We see Alizee violating the boundaries with the evolution of her personality as she grows older, her tattoos, and now the blond hair, and I believe with her attraction to lesbianism. The truth is, we really don't know who this thirty-year-old GIRL is. To us, she is a fantasy. Every time she violates that fantasy, we struggle to adjust our definition without surrendering the definition completely. When we can no longer bend our desired perception to our satisfaction, we walk away.

Well said.. yeah it must be hard for her to live up to the perfect perception many fans have of her.. yeah the fantasy will always be perfect but I agree that a part of her might rebelling against that perfect persona because it's hard to live up to, but at the end of the day she should stay true to herself because maybe that's all some of us need.. and it's not for us as much as we want it for her.

She's not perfect though.. she's Alizée. :)

I'm sure that applies to some or maybe even most fans of a celebrity and of Alizée. But I've found there are quite a few Alizée fans here and on other forums to whom I don't see that applying. People have differing reasons for being Alizée fans, I feel the ones who want her to be able to accomplish her goals seem to stick around the longest.

Well said.. yeah it must be hard for her to live up to the perfect perception many fans have of her.. yeah the fantasy will always be perfect but I agree that a part of her might rebelling against that perfect persona because it's hard to live up to, but at the end of the day she should stay true to herself because maybe that's all some of us need.. and it's not for us as much as we want it for her.

^ Yep.


My fantasy about Alizée is that she's dealing with life's ups and downs like everyone else does, and that she's a good person who appreciates and is kind to her fans. The more time that goes by, the more evidence I see of that, making it more and more a reality to me.

Very true.


...and I believe with her attraction to lesbianism.....

No. I don't believe you are reading her correctly. She has always had a large gay following, and Mylene taught her to nurture that group. Also, she made it very clear (crystal clear) in the DALS videos that the 3-person dance is not ground she wished to cover. She had to be eased into it.

Very well said. I used to be kind of like the idolizing fan you described in the underlined text, but somewhere along the way, I grew up and ceased to be such... without giving up the whole magic of fandom.
