I have on my computer some pictures and videos from that event. One video was Alizée dans 100%Mag 2010 By FirstSeb. And all of you guys are seen in the video.

And here are a couple of links on the event:

You are right that his name is Mark. You should've bet me money on it because I would've sworn up and down it was Neil and his forum name like you said is Backinblack.

If I ever get caught up after vacation, I'll post some of the e-mails that went back and forth so people can see how it all went down.

I think most of you know this about the autograph session but just in case there is someone who doesn't, here's how it went down. Luckily I work for an airline so I get pretty good travel benefits. I had gone to the autograph session in 2007 or was it 8 and stood in line and had some cds signed. I planed on going to the one in 2010. I thought I'd ask in the forum if anyone would like me to get them an autographed cd, knowing in the back of my head that could get out of control and it did to a mild point. The list quickly grew to near 50 so I put a limit on it of 50.

Well I had never cared to go to an autograph session before and had no idea how they are run and someone pointed out it might not be a good idea to walk up to the autograph table and plunk down 50 cds to get autographed. If Alizée didn't kill me, the people in the line behind me probably would. So while we were mulling around how to figure this out, FanDeAlifee I think his name was had sent an e-mail to the Virgin Megastore where the event was taking place and Ben received a response to the message.

I'm also trying to find the message that was sent to the Virgin Megastore. I left the contact info up because that store is no more.

So, Scuffy, when you met Alizee for the signings--we want to know how that went.

And a Virgin Megastore representative sent a reply ...

"Your ambassador will meet Alizée (and her staff) in private ... "

So Scruffy, you were a US ambassador in France?
- ambassador -- an accredited diplomat sent by a country as its official representative to a foreign country

Or shall we say you were an AAm US ambassador in France? :D

Great picture. I'll use it on our FB page if that's okay? I wonder what magazine or is it a program that Alizee is autographing for the girl?



Well the ambassador title stems from that original letter to the Virgin Megastore by FanDeAliFee which I'm still looking for.

Being chosen as a representative of this forum, I wanted to do a good job of it and make a good impression on them. I remembered one picture I saw during that era that really influenced the way I felt about that. It was of Roman at one of the Les Enfoires shows. It showed him in the crowd dressed in a wrinkly t shirt and jeans and I thought this is not the way I want to represent this forum or our country.

In my naivite at the time, I didn't realize the ordeal Roman and other fans went through when they went to these shows where they had to get there about 10 hours in advance and had to wait out in the freezing cold, then swelter inside.

But it worked out well. I designed what went on that pullover and picked out the pullover and for someone who's not very fashion savvy, I think it came out as well as I could've hope for.

Getting back to the actual meeting. I had told before how my video camera had died before the event, so I borrowed one from my brother. To conserve space, I put it in my back pack. I think in the trip over, there is a lever that controls the zoom in and zoom out, that is spring loaded to center, that must've been being pushed upon on the trip over. The result being when I set it up at the autograph session, it kept zooming in by itself.

Well I've spoke of the arrival at the store and meeting the other members. I purchased the cds and we went downstairs to unwrap them. We then met the manager of the store. He asked to see the receipt. My back pack had about 20 different compartments in it. I couldn't find it. Then I thought maybe I threw it out with the wrappers? I went to look in the trash can and it wasn't there. I turned around and everyone was gone in a packed store. I thought everyone but me will be at the autograph session! I ran upstairs and after a few minutes of panic, found them.

We then went on this long walk following the manager which was just like the video of the making of JAM; up and down stairs, through hall ways then we finally came to "the" room. They had the camera lights on so she stood out like a star in the evening sky. It was a surreal moment. The way she was lit up. This incredibly beautiful woman who had meant so much to me and for so long had been so far away, was now right in front of me. We all shook hands with her and there I was face to face with her in a moment that passed too quickly.

So we got to the business of getting the cds autographed. I sat down, brought out the letter. I set up my video camera and was also taking some pictures. I soon noticed the problem with the video camera zooming in on it's own and I straightened it out a couple of times before realizing what was happening.

I was so wrapped up in everything else, I was losing track of the moment. It's then when the woman who was with the filming crew, started asking me questions. That brought me back to reality. Made me again realize "she" was right across the table from me and it was a very emotional moment and in what seemed like no time, it was all over. It was an incredible experience.

Scruffydog hands a Boston T - Shirt to Alizée around 1:30 mins.. I also remember a scene where a he tells in a few words what Alizée meant to him but I just can't find it. :confused:

Un-reve, thanks for the video.

Who was filming this?

Scruffydog, who else.

Here was another interview that featured mostly fans including me but also some Alizee...

This was a video posted by Rob Rhein. He used to be a member of this forum but at one point got banned. He set a goal to make a thousand Alizee videos. When he first became a fan, I think about 5 years ago, he hardly knew how to use a computer. You can see with this and his other videos, he's now quite adept at editing videos.

I'm astounded that Rob Rhein was banned from this site. How did that happen?

It would probably be best to ask him directly.

I've talked to Rob over the phone several times over the past few years and consider him a friend. Back around the time he got banned, there used to be a lot of battles in here. What got him banned is a member insulted his girlfriend and then he threatened that members life and that's something that can't be allowed. Over the years, he's been very defensive of Alizée, maybe too defensive which is understandable because she changed his life from what was a life of despair but again too defensive for a site that allows comments that are pro and con.

I had almost forgotten about this duet Alizée did. I thought it was a great fit for her voice and I thought it had a country feel to it. Makes me think Alizée could've gone country.....

I posted in FB a Youtube video of the Stars a Domicile 2003 show. It was only a portion of the show. I don't know if the full video is still available there. They had been taken down some months ago for cr violations.

I also posted in jpeg format, the letters Jessica wrote first of the surprise in the shoe store and then meeting Alizée in the studio a couple of months later and the letter she wrote after Jessica went to one of her concerts and met her back stage. I'm posting these letters here in case anyone hasn't seen them. The links below are photobucket images of those letters for anyone who can't read the images I posted.

A grand exit from one of her JPVA performances....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8oTnozLfOE

That's cool, pretty much the message you'd expect from the album but it's nice to hear her say it.

Protesters at the Hotel de Ville during JPVA
 

For newer members who may not realize what was going on during this performance;

The occasion for this performance was the 100th running of the Tour de France and several artists performed here over the course of the day. The location was Hotel de Ville (city hall).
There was some sector of the entertainment industry that was on strike and they were protesting at this event (what I don't know). You can see them holding up pamphlets and hear them booing. I'm sure Alizée knew little or nothing about what was going on.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMauMq2HQSU

A partial list Alizée's concert schedule frorm 2003. The En Concert tour consisted of 42 shows. She wasn't able to perform a full show in Le Havre.

From AF archives; " At the concert in Le Havre yesterday evening, some unexpected things happened. It all started with an 30 minutes coming late on stage. The reason for that was that Alizée had something like an influenza. That's why she was a bit weak. The pauses where she changed her outfits were much longer than in any other concert before (she only changed outfits 2 times) and she didn't even sing Tempête, J'ai pas vingt ans and Youpidou. When she said to the audience that she was ill and that she could not do the whole show she started crying. Her crew on stage came to console her.
From this article;

"Alizée is not yet 16 when Moi ... Lolita is born. From her meeting with Mylene Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat born Gourmandises. Two years, four million records sold and rewards later. Alizée goes on tour with her latest single, J'ai pas vingt ans, and her second album, Mes Courants électriques."

I just stumbled across this today. I haven't seen this video before, and WOW! You are not kidding about it being a great fit for her. Beautiful solo, beautiful harmony. She could totally pull off country, but would need some "twang" lessons! :)

It appears that Alizee has a pin in her tongue in this video. Also, the studio is full of beautiful French women.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz9wJUpCCn0


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC6aA2p00EY

Oh yes, definitely a pin. I hadn't seen this video. Alizee is never short of hair styles, and yet again she is stunning.

You are right - a room full of beautiful women.

Here is something for you guys who are fond of memory lane things.
I suggest everyone watch it on youtube fullscreen and click there a button to see it in HD quality, and also click at the subtitles button because there are English subs you can see on the video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L0p5HBlaHY

By the way, here is the text of the subs:
Does anyone know how to make a subtitle file from this text?
Or somebody already has a subtitle file of this text?

00:02
- If we talk about Michel Berger, we have to talk about France Gall which is what Alizée proposed to do.
00:06
A - Yes.
00:07
- By the way, you've once been in a TV show with France Gall haven't you?
00:11
A - Well, the very first time I met France Gall it was in her home in Saint Tropez three years ago,
00:16
It was quite a special moment for me and...
00:19
- For what purpose?
00:20
A - Actually it's because I was in a TV Show in St Tropez, we had a common friend there who wanted to make me a surprise by introducing me to France Gall.
00:27
I had just released my 4th album at that time, and it was an occasion to let her listen to it and discuss it.
00:32
A great moment for me because I have always admired France Gall.
00:34
- So she gave you a few advices?
00:37
A - Mm, let's see, first of all, about my voice, because even though that I've been singing for more than 13 years I don't feel it was that long.
00:43
But for example she told me that when she sang Michel Berger's songs she was always too high pitched...
00:52
So she told me to be really careful about that...
00:55
- So now you're carefully choosing your pitch, right?
00:57
A - I'm trying, yes.
00:58
- Did she tell you to 'resist' as well?
01:01
- 'Résiste' performed by Alizée!
02:33
- Thank you Alizée!
02:35
Alizée, who's releasing a fifth album entitled '5' ... a very good number.
02:40
A - That's what people say!
02:42
- So it's an album that really takes its inspiration in the 1960's, with France Gall ...
02:46
A - Yes, inspired by the early years of France Gall and her hits 'Poupée de Cire', 'Laisse Tomber Les Filles'.
02:53
But not only France Gall, Francoise Hardy as well... but I really wanted to make a modern album of pop music at the same time.
03:06
- Alizée, you chose to sing for us the song Ella Elle L'a, as a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald. A song that was written by Michel Berger.
03:13
A - Yes a wonderful song, that I sang not so long ago... well in 2003 on a tv show with you.
03:20
- Absolutely! We're listening to you.

You may have to rename the file to use it with your player.

Or you can copy this text and save it yourself:

Well New Year's eve is the perfect time to repost this video of Alizée's performance on New Year's eve in 2003.

Stars a Domicile
 

In messaging, the subject of Stars a Domicile came up, A show where stars surprise their fans, then go to the fans home. Alizée appeared on the show twice; once in 2001 and once in 2003. We had recently discussed this, but because the video link wasn't good any more, I decided to post it anew. This video is from the 2003 show, is one kulli found. It is from Daily Motion and it is the full version lasting about 24 minutes. I don't believe the full video is available on Youtube any more. I'm uploading a version of the 2003 show with English subtitles to my Google drive.

Here is the link to the full video http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2bxbk9

Google drive link to subtitled video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_YY...ew?usp=sharing.

Here are the two letters Jessica wrote. One was about the day Alizee surprised her and when they went to the studio to do the on stage segment of the show. The second letter is of when she went to one of Alizee's concerts, then back stage to meet her afterwards. I saved these letters as jpegs. Doing it this way, if you click on the attached images at the bottom, at various zoom levels, the print will appear clearer than others, so if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, just zoom in or out until the print appears clear. It is better to just click on the Google drive link I provided to view them all and I believe they will show up more clearly.

Interesting stuff!

I wonder why her website went offline.

People change, but imo she still loves Lili and it still is the best moment in her life. How awesome would it be if she saw this thread and replied?

It would be very interesting to see what Alizee's No1 fan thinks now.

I guess they became frie nds after that. There is a video of her and some others getting together with Alizee when her Psych album was being released.
