I think Jenny makes some valid points there regarding the commercial potential of appearing in LE. It's a shame that she wont be there this year but I would imagine that she is contractually obliged to complete the DALS tour and even though I suspect that she would like to do both I also think it would just be physically impossible to do both of those things as well as work towards getting the new album out. Something had to give and it strikes me that missing L.E. makes the most sense commercially - as long as the album comes out sooner rather than later.

We have a female singer in the UK called Sophie Ellis Bextor who was quite big around 10 years ago but then faded away and she participated in the recent 'Strictly Come Dancing' show here and did quite well. She obviously got a lot of publicity from that and she has already released a new album. The first single from that is getting a lot of air play right now. This is the way to do it if commercial success is what you're after, Things need to be tied up together quickly these days. If Alizee's new album takes much longer it will go the same way as 5 did. It wont have the extra push of DALS to promote it.

Despite the fact that I found out Alizée didn't participate after 1st show I still stayed for sun and Mon show. I've think I got some good pictures mostly video from Mon if anyone is interested. Plus scruffy I pretty much got busted with my lense for camera but still snuck it inside lol. I get better ever time I sneaked it past security.
