This had got me thinking. So, it is not uncommon practice for young up and coming singers to have their songs written and produced for them by others. It happens in and out of France. So, disregarding "Gourmandises" and "Mes Courants Electriques...", every other Alizée Album that followed had a different team of producers behind it. But Alizée herself never wrote a single song on any of them. Some people don't have that skill and I can imagine that French is a hard language to write songs in, so I'm not judging. But could that have worked against her? She must have been creatively involved to some extend, of course. Still, these 4 Albums have little in common - other than her voice. She never really found "her sound", you know what I mean? Something that makes her Music unique (which is often the writing) and easily identifiable. That's what someone who speaks French possibly would have paid attention to. The writing can be more important than the production (and at least two of her later Albums weren't lacking in the latter's department). What do you think? Could it have contributed to her "downfall"?

Here's the thing: Had I found ANY of Alizée's material past 2007 first (except maybe ACDLA - which I immediately liked) there is little to none from those years that would have made her appealing to me. There is a Clip from the "5" Era somewhere on YouTube where a reporter asks (young) people on the street about what the name Alizée means to them and they usually answered with something Lolita or Mylène related. She made literally no impression on the younger generation it seems. It all ties into the above... She couldn't find her "thing", something that made her music really her's, some consistency beyond the early years, something to outgrow Mylène Farmer with. Something that was truly her's. Except for being "Lolita pour la vie".

That is my reaction too.

I think that Alizee should have gone into acting after leaving Mylene. In my view, she had more potential as an actress than as a singer.
