Psych & UEDS Re-release + Remixes + CD & Vinyl
Quote:
This was announced earlier today, and I don't see a thread or post anywhere (and I looked) but if it does exist elsewhere feel free to merge this post. However it just seems right that I would be the one to start the Psych re-release thread, being my favorite album and all :p |

I've been thinking about this over for the past week. I'll probably buy these I'm sure but to tell you the truth, I'm not the least bit excited about this. I think it's because we seldom get to see her on a personal level anymore and I feel myself drifting away. Sure there's a sprinkling of magazine articles every now and then and by the way, thank you to Alizée-Nederland and others for bringing those to our attention, but there's not really much substance to them as far as her fan base is concerned. There are many beautiful pictures of her family. We wish her family all happiness and good health and we love that she shares pictures of them, but that is not the main reason for us being here. We are here to see her. Now we've accepted the fact that we'll seldom if ever, get to see her perform again, but it pains to see she never addresses her fans on a personal level. We only get to see and hear her when she's selling something. Me and others spend hours looking for pictures we've missed or some stills from a video that might appeal to current fans and draw in new fans and that's getting harder and harder to do and quite frankly it's getting old. It seems the only time we get to see her on video is when she's selling something. What I miss are the tv interviews where we get to see her beauty, hear her voice, watch her mannerisms which are so special to watch. I guess with her being out of the limelight, the tv interviews are gone, but why can't she just pick up her phone and talk for a minute to her fans. Whether she talks about Maggy growing up or Annily going off to school or the dance studio or Corsica, it doesn't matter, as long as the message is to her fans. That is something that will make it easier for us to promote her here in the forum and on our FB pages. This is what I'd love to see her do once in a while. It doesn't have to be live. It doesn't have to be about her career, but it's something where she should be talking directly to her fans. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beoRwA-koFE |

LMFAO. I don't follow her on social media, but it does seem to be that way. I don't think there's nothing inherently wrong in her seizing her fan base to promote products and dumb stuff like that, it's easy money for her and her family. Of course, people will get tired and just stop following, but by eyeing how much her previous albums sold, I think it's been slowly happening already. |

I'd say that we should look at this forum as a place to talk about and share what we like as a community and not as a promotional tool to keep her relevant. Trying to do that would only be frustrating if she doesn't care about being a singer (which is totally fine and legit). The employment of an image manager was very promising but I'm guessing it was directed to taking advantage of her image of ''instagram influencer'' rather than of singer. |
Quote:
But we don't have to go back this far to see more of the little things she did to let us know she was thinking of her fans. She used to post those video clips on Instagram where she would quickly scroll through all the comments she gets until it stops on a random comment and zoom in on the name and comment. It's not the same as a video of her talking to the fans but it was something. But the last few years there has been a noticeable drought of communication outside of the occasional family picture or the attempt to sell something. On one hand I would like to (and have been) giving her a break. The pandemic has been tough on everybody one way or another and she is probably not an exception. I don't know where she gets her advice, but mine would have been to not hide out for a couple of years and then all of a sudden offer vinyl records for sale. It just doesn't look good. Sometimes I think Alizee does not realize just how many fans she has that simply adore her, and there is a significant number of those that would be her fans for life. I don't think we ask for much, except for maybe another album :p |
Well a new album is unlikely but how much time would it take for her to pick up her phone, hit the record button and say a little something to her fans once in a while? I think that's the least she should do if she wants to keep selling the products she's endorsing.

No matter what Alizee does with her life from here on out, singing or not, her fame came from singing. If she wants to leave that behind and live a new chapter in her life free from the obligations of being a celebrity of something she stopped doing long ago, then she should cut the cord. I've said a long time ago that if she chooses not to make another album and devote her future to the dance school, I'll be OK with that. But it's like she is sitting on the fence. Much of what makes Alizee so attractive is her personality. What fan of hers doesn't love listening to her talk? If she wants to keep influencing, she needs to engage her followers, especially the new ones. |

But, again, I don't think it is something that makes a difference. She has her life and she likes it, instagram is just a way to share some bits of it and sometimes it happens to earn something from that. Who knows, maybe she's hiding something for the future (not necessarily immadiate), but I don't know if she's ''on the fence''... does she actually think about this matter? |
I don't think she's on the fence either. Being on the fence implies she's undecided about which way to go and she's not undecided at all. She's quite happy with the way her life is going. I still think there's a remote possibility that someone else might talk her into doing another album, but that's certainly something that is not on the table right now.
One thing that is evident is she likes these endorsements for the easy money they bring in. It may not be a whole lot of money, but I'll bet it's nothing to sneeze at. If she does like those endorsements, do something that would make it easier for those who try to promote her. Talk to her fans once in a while. It would be an incredibly easy thing for her to do. |
It might sound kind of rude, specially so for people in here who've been following her for more than a decade, but I doubt she owes her fans anything at all. I mean, it's been 20 YEARS from her biggest hits and her latest albums have been a failure, showing that many of her past fans (people punching close to 40 by now) have moved on. Yes, you might think it's also kind of rude that all you see on her social media are things she's trying to promote, but really nobody forces anybody to follow her and she might even think it's not necessary to keep in "contact" with her fans (again, busy people with family and jobs who're close to 40); I, personally, couldn't care less.
On the point that many individuals from this website are trying to promote her so she can sort of return (?) to singing; that's just a pipedream, really, because nobody here has the budget or connections to do something of the sort. Of course, I know her older hits keep getting thousands of views daily, but those performances were from 20 years ago, while her more recent performances are mostly ignored. When I first came here, I thought of this website as a place to discuss someone who really mesmerized me by how beautiful her smile was, not a place to promote someone, because that's just impossible. |

She keeps trying to sell products, from food delivery to cosmetics to vinyls. She could just think she's done enough in the past and doesn't owe a thing to anyone she's looking to buy her products, but people would have a lot more respect for a star who goes the extra mile to treat her fans like they are something except just another customer. |
Quote:
That's the context in which I say that maybe she doesn't know or care that she could build a bigger or more loyal fanbase by keeping in touch with them by uploading videos and stuff. We don't know what goes through her mind, so like I said, maybe she doesn't think it's necessary at all. Also, it's kind of easy to ignore, but she was raised in a different culture than in the west, so there's cultural differences, ways of thinking and seeing things. I don't know about your experiences, but my country is relatively small and even so, there's huge cultural gaps from state to state. |
There are so many examples I could show you from the early years, where she cared about her fans. There were the little waves to the fans. There was the time she was brought to tears in the first Stars a Domicile. There was the time she became friends with Jessica. There was the time in Poland during an interview when she grew upset with the interviewers questions about certain artists.
You may remember there was a fan from our forum who because he remarried, gave his collection to me. I felt the money raised from that belonged to her and with some donations from other members here, that total was brought up to close to 600 euros. I offered to donate that money to them. I said they could use it in any way they wanted. They could donate it to fans who couldn't afford lessons. They could have given it to a charity on Corsica or they could have given it to some homeless person on the street and it would all be kept private, yet they never responded. Now I understand they have a policy where they don't respond to fans and I could show you a great reason for why they feel that way. Still, I don't think they realized, how much that what seemed to be a small amount of money to them, could have been a huge amount of money to someone else. I believe she's done some great work with children in hospitals in Corsica, at least in the past and maybe that is the case now, but we don't hear what she does in closed quarters so we have to look at what we see is publicly displayed and I haven't seen much. |
Well, for someone who's been following for years like you and many others in this forum, I can see why you might feel discouraged with the lack of communication.
Sorry if I sounded rough. I re-read what I wrote and it really came out that way, but I didn't mean anything bad. Actually, it's amazing you got to meet her multiple times, even shake hands with her. |

Once upon a time, there was interest and discussion about booking her for a concert show somewhere in the US, but at the time we were so numerous (fans in the Northeast, South, Midwest, West Coast, etc) that we couldn't really decide where it would be held. Perhaps we dropped the ball there. Had we known we would go down this path, perhaps we could have organized better and gotten something concrete going. Now there are so few, I can't imagine getting enough money together for a venue and all those other costs, let alone her fee. But maybe things can change. Recently, the Netflix show Stranger Things brought back decades old songs from Kate Bush and Metallica. They were trending (and perhaps continue to) for weeks and brought them to new generations of fans. We may not see an Alizée album or concert this decade, but her music and personality has already charmed several generations of people across the world. That kind of spark is never lost and always has the potential to be rediscovered. |

You probably remember around the same time, Alizee announced a concert and a "fashion show" in Mexico. Then she expanded that to two shows in different cities in Mexico. I'm not sure who was her manager at the time or if she tries to do it herself, but ever since she split with Mylene, never underestimate Alizee's ability to shoot herself in the foot. She hired two promoters for the Mexico gigs based in Mexico and assumed they would work together to sort out the work visas for the two shows (which they didn't), and Alizee finds out a few days beforehand the whole trip is a bust and cancels. She blamed the promoters for not communicating with each other but I lay this at the feet of Alizee and her management for not communicating with them. She promised she would be back in Mexico and that never happened. Then you had all those who purchased tickets and made travel arrangements who are not happy at all. So "damage control" is not one of Alizee's strengths, but avoiding the need for damage control is even more desirable. Her not communicating with her fans every now and then disappoints them and some turn their back and never come back. This happened during her two year hiatus at the height of her popularity, then when she decided to go public again, her reception was probably not what she expected. I would hate to see this happen to her again. |
The problem is that no one asked her to make a new disco or to appear in french television.When someone calls her to do tv shows (Poland) or live appereances (Paris), she goes..
Her last albums have been a failure..she suffered a lot for this reason. |

About "talking" with fans, I don't think that's necessary. I mean, almost all of her fans must be over 40 by now, what could she talk about? There must be nothing going on career-wise to talk about; also, she has a family, a little daughter and a business, she must be pretty busy. |
Quote:
I recall the Warsaw discussion but with our reduced numbers at the time (and even more so now) it seemed more and more like a pipedream as others have said. |

http://alizeeamerica.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4010 I can imagine the logistical problems and costs of touring internationally is sky high (pun intended). She might have learned that the hard way after Mexico and Moscow. Currently, I think the only way to possibly get Alizee to the US to do a concert would be if a very wealthy Alizee fan initiated it and took care of all the arrangements and offered her a big check. It would be a private event by invitation only. |
