[25-11-2014] Blonde Tour **CANCELLED**
 

Edit:

Any word of what this tour is going to consist of?
Her new album?
The best of her past 3 albums?

Well, from new album + some from her previous would make a sense. But only thing which bothers me is the how she named it... "musical show" :13:

:omg:

Wow! I didn't see that one coming.

I think the idea of some sort of 'musical show' makes a lot of sense actually. To me, it conjures up images of lots of dancing and possibly guest appearances. In fact it leaves the door wide open for just about anything you can put on a stage.

If I was being cynical (who me?) then I might also think that it's a good way to try to fill up seats with the sort of people who might not necessarily go to a concert, just to see Alizee sing, but who would go to a 'show' just before Christmas.

I think you're right about guest appearances and the first name that comes to mind, would be Tal and that right there would probably guarantee it success.

I think you're right that at this point ( a new album could change things), that not enough people would go to a show just to see Alizée and her recent music. They must have at least a few big stars lined up with her for them to have scheduled the number of dates they have already.

As far as it being around Christmas, maybe it's a holiday themed show. Also, will it be happening around when this years new DALS will be going on? If it is, is there a coincidence to that?

Well looking at Twitter you can see a lot, and I mean a Lot of tweets from Mexican fans asking for tour dates over there. They're doing the work, I have little to no doubt that they'll get them. I think if we team up with them, maybe we can get a North American leg for the tour: Mexico, USA, and Canada. But we (as many of us as possible, get a Twitter if you can) would need to tweet as constantly as they are. Thoughts?

However I understand that mexican fans want to see her, cause it is her first tour after 6 years. But personally I think there is a really small chance to win. I think they try to revive her carreer in France at first. But who knows... :)

:omg:

That is a lot of dates and a fairly heavy schedule. The promoters must be fairly confident about ticket sales. I wonder what they've got hidden up their sleeves?

I got my ticket and it's a aisle seat 6th from front in orchestra section for the nov. 25 paris show.

Where did you buy it? I'm lost, there is no choice on Olympia site, it just trying to give me some random seat.

I decided to buy a VIP pack :dance:
http://c3201142.cdn03.imgwykop.pl/co...xisTupmgbq.jpg

So officially, 25/11 at Olympia! :D Orchestra, place 01 02 :D

I have vacation scheduled for the middle week of December, so I ordered one for the show in Lyon on the 17th.

During the ordering process they give you 4 seating options; one of which I could understand being balcony. The other three not so easy. I chose the one that said center. After wards, they showed the seating chart with a red dot, right in the front row or very close to it, so I'm hoping that's where it will be. It would be great to have an assigned seat as opposed to waiting out in the cold all day.

I chose the 14 euro option to have mine delivered to me.

I went ahead and ordered for Olympia the VIP deal. I figure it has the best chance of happening, I know how to get there, and if they cancel I still might get an autographed CD out of the deal. Looks like I'm 3rd row, not bad, I don't need to touch her.

I'm confused. From what I understand, the rules permit only people residing in France to participate.

ARTICLE 2 – PARTICIPANTS
2.1 La participation au Jeu est ouverte à toute personne majeure à la date d’ouverture du Jeu
résidant en France métropolitaine (Corse incluse), disposant d’une connexion internet.

Translation:
2.1 Participation in the Competition is open to any person to the opening date of the Game
residing in metropolitan France ( including Corsica ) , with an internet connection.

Paris for me and some guys from Team AF.

Also some of us (including me) want to go the Rouen two days later. We just haven't ordered the tickets yet :)

Rouen too. On the 27th November.

I'm so happy :)

We didn't buy VIP tickets at all. I never win anything and I think I will just buy my album in a store. Or on amazon. Or someone will buy it for me.

If you don't plan on going to an autograph session and others from AF decide to wait to go to the "Tour" show instead of the autograph session, we are hoping to get some cds autographed one way or another, either by having someone there or having her sign some and then having someone pick them up few days later If it happens and we'd be glad to include you on our list. They'd either be personalized (fans name) or just signed "Alizée".

Ray started a thread on it.

http://alizeeamerica.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7750

At this point, we don't want any money up front. We just want the info asked for in this thread. For the time being, all you have to tell us is if you want one or not, plus the name you want signed to it if she personalizes them. You can share this info privately with some others in AF, but please don't post it there because we don't want to be flooded with requests. We only have 30 requests so far, but I think people will come crawling out of the woodwork once a release date is announced.

Edit:

That could be true, but I'd buy a ticket anyways (and I did).

I did not order any VIP deal (couldn't find one and my French is non existent - used google translate the whole time!), but you're right - easy to get there and best chance of happening - my thoughts exactly.

Woo Yeah! Going to see Alizee in Paris. :D

This is awesome. I was pretty sure I would never get to see her in real life.

I'm so excited. :)

That's just for the contest to meet her. They will still sell you tickets and the CD :)

That's an interesting thought.... going to another show. I decided this morning to try to get my ticket during my lunch break and I thought following the link to the VIP package would be the easiest route. I know I will end up buying more than one CD anyway.

Thanksgiving

I've discovered through sources that Thanksgiving in the US is two days after the Olympia date. That won't help finding good deals on airfare around that time. Also longer lines at the airports here. I'm not going to buy any airline tickets yet. As much as I want to see her have a tour, I'm not convinced it will happen. I'm going to wait a while and arrange travel later.

Credit Cards

In the past I've found that suddenly making an on-line international purchase when you don't normally do that can cause your credit card company to reject the purchase. You can call your card issuer and tell them you are about to make a purchase and then it should go through right away. I go through the purchase procedure right up until they tell you a total (usually in Euros) and then before I submit the order I call my card company (number on the back of the card) and I use the automated menus to find 'notify us of an upcoming purchase.' My company asks for an exact dollar amount but as long as you are close it's not a problem. Convert the Euro price into dollars (today it's $1.37 per Euro) and add a few dollars for currency conversion fees and tell that figure to the card company. Then submit your order and it should go through (unless there are other issues.)

Does anybody know if there will be a collectors edition of the album or a way to buy the album without buying tickets to a show that we regrettably would not be able to make it to?

There hasn't been an official announcement, but she has mentioned in interviews that she would like to release a collector's edition. So far, there has always been a collector's edition.

No, I don't think there's a way to buy the album. Sorry.

When I checked last night it wasn't on iTunes or Amazon in the US for preorder. The last album was eventually sold on both of those places so I'm expecting this one will be also. In fact last time Amazon shipped out CDs a few days early.

At some point Amazon.fr will probably be selling the CD and they will ship CDs to the US. That could be a backup plan.

I thought there had been a mention of a collector set before but now I'm not expecting one though I still hope there is one.

But don't worry... Info will be posted on the forum as soon as it is known.

I was asking my co-worker today what 'musical show' means. He isn't an Alizée fan but has to hear about her from time to time. He thought in this case that since she has a following due to her music, but now also because of the DALS participation a different following, that she would have a show to entertain both sets of fans. A show with songs and dance.

So I was thinking that maybe she would mix in a dance or two from the DALS tour. Maybe Blackswan or Bollywood. (Would Grégoire be there too?) I imagine she will also perform some of her singles from various albums. Maybe an emphasis on the songs from the newest album.

Wasn't it rumored (Rumored!!! * Get off my back) that the "Blonde tour" will be a musical based on Alizée's life, hence the song Mylène Farmer?

When people talked about the tour at first in French, they called it a "comédie musicale" (Which, btw, has nothing to do with comedy, it's just French for "musical".)

This show will be much more than just a concert. She is working with the best choreographer of DALS, there'll be a lot of dance, surely.

(If I had 55 cents for every time I've heard Alizée say she wants to combine her new-found love for dance with her music, I would almost have a euro.)

I would say a "Black swan" seems unlikely because of the time it would take to put on all the fancy make up. She'd have to start the show with it on already, ha. Grégoire Lyonnet on stage during Alizée's show? I don't see why not. Afterall, he will take part of Brahim's "Rock It All" tour.



* P.S. It was rumored.

Towards the end of the DALS tour, they had quit doing the fancy makeup for Blackswan.

If they did include it in the Blonde Tour, I guess it would have to be Blondeswan. Which might be better than Blondiewood.

Hoping for the best.

voila

https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...32261176_n.jpg

The Charleston would work with a Blonde Alizée. :)


On a more serious note, she is attempting to sell over 100 000 tickets (a guess) for people to come see her sing and dance. That is a major undertaking. She needs to get everything right.

So far, she has not done so.

The Plusses
- She is still Alizée. Also, she still has a great personality.
- She won DALS.
- She was in high demand during the DALS tour.
- She is getting out there and making appearances.
- The Blonde video was competent.
- The album sounds good so far. If it continues in it's current vein, it should be at least good enough to work in support of the tour.

The Minuses
- Her blonde makeover will be a surprise to all of her fans - both DALS and older. She just doesn't look that good as a blonde (with the possible exception of the Amor Amor casting commercial - where I thought everything worked). Also, her current blonde hair style just doesn't compliment her well.
- She needs to stop picking her own outfitting. She is too conservative. The last few choices just have not worked well for her. When DALS was outfitting her, every outfit worked well for her. Some were showing more skin than she probably wanted, but they worked. She needs someone else to outfit her.
- She still has tattoos.
- She has chosen outfits that highlight her tattoos. (the DALS outfits drew the attention away from her tattoos. Her choices in outfitting on the other hand - for example, covering up in black - end up highlighting her tattoos.)
- Her dance numbers have been patched together. They are not fluid enough.


She is essentially out of discretionary choices. She needs to rethink her approach to this NOW, while there is still time to correct her direction. Each appearance from here forward is an opportunity to either remind the audience why they want to come see her, OR to say to them that she doesn't care. Currently, she is often mixing the second message with the first. She needs to change this, and fast!

I look forward to the concert in Paris love Alizée I think she will do a great show,as spare time photographer I wish the was a moment to take few shorts of her.

Welcome to the forum Morten_DK! You are planning to go to one of the Blonde Tour shows?

Thanks ,yes I have ticket and hotelroom 200 meters from olympia ready.
