This face scrunch looks more like a wink. Or she has something in her eye. Most of her scrunches look deliberate, like she knows she is doing them. This one just seems to happen. Really cute.
It's at 1:10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Cq93i_VjJ8 |
Does anybody have any idea who the mystery woman is at 3:15?
Alizee glances to her right at 3:13 before she turns, then the camera shows this woman. When Alizee starts to turn back toward the camera at 3:24, she is looking back at the same spot for several gorgeous seconds. Just a shot in the dark, but perhaps this woman is significant in her life, or just a random audience member? The angle of Alizee's glance compared to this woman doesn't seem to support that they were looking at each other. In any event, the glance at 3:24 is very charming. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cCDnIJ3HMA |

In this L'alize performance they cut to various audience members frequently. I have always liked this performance because she looks like she is having fun and throwing those little waves out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziVuxnp8Bdc Here is an original version of that file, without doctoring. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Kw3...ew?usp=sharing Back in 2014 she performed Blonde on a tv program La chanson de l'année 2014. The thing was that her performance was recorded the day before the show without an audience, but on TV there was a magical audience present. There is a bit of discussion about it here: http://alizeeamerica.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7762 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXB66zX3QdE and an original HD broadcast capture (200+ MB)... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DxD...ew?usp=sharing |

Watching Alizee in all these videos, she appears to enjoy the experience of singing before an audience. Which again raises the exasperating question, why did she give it up? I understand her albums weren't selling, but her audiences have always been enthusiastic. I think possibly the labor of finding new tunes, and the aggravation of getting the arrangement just right, arguing with everyone who has a different opinion, might be the reason. I wish she would just come out and say why she doesn't want to sing. Apparently, "stubbornness" is a Corsican characteristic, and Alizee prides herself on being a "true Corsican," thus she emphasizes that part of her personality. If this is so, it has done her career serious damage and vexed her fans no end.

You know, I'd love to see new stuff from her, but I don't want to see her bomb.
Maybe that's what's better for her life at the moment. You know, dancing only/ singing the occasional cover. I think her first love was dancing. |

I feel she is done as a solo artist. I feel she put a lot of faith in Blonde in getting her back on the map, and that failure, the fourth in a row, was too much for an ego to bear. We all know she is superstitious. In that show where she meets Jenny, she used "lucky stars" twice. Once in the car describing her success, and telling Jenny it was her lucky stars that caused her to be selected. Maybe Alizee feels her luck just ran out. I feel too many ex-fans have turned their back on her. She hasn't been the best at fan maintenance over the years. And what fans she has left are spread out all over the globe. It takes a lot of money and logistical knowledge to organize a world tour of any kind. I still wonder why she never was able to break into the US market, besides maybe the language barrier? But, I am like you in that I wish she would just come out and say something. I would accept that her singing days are over. I think she should go into acting more. I think she has some good talent there. |
I agree with CleverCowboy about language barrier thing. If she was an instrumental music composer for example, like Vangelis or Jean Michel Jarre, it would be a lot easier to market her music abroad.
She will always have fans in Mexico and Russia for example, even if she became part of a quartet that played Bach and Ravel pieces while wearing kimonos. But the fact is that she is French and I believe they don't endorse foreign language learning as much there. Which in terms can limit one's own audience. I know she had some of her songs translated but she almost never speaks in English in interviews I've seen. Or in instagram. |
I have been wanting to ask if anybody knows if she knows any English? She has Forever Young tattoo in English. She sometimes wears shirts with English words on them. Also, in the Instagram posts by Annily, she comments in English. Seems like there might be some English understanding in that household.
