OMFG. alizee
 

WOW... sorry im just very amazed right now and let me tell you why.
I remember finding about alizee in summer 2006. i used to listen to her songs when in the car and on my ipod between classes at my college so much that if i forgot my ipod and didnt listen to her songs at sschool, it was kind of depressing. i remember playing WoW and having her music bumping in my ears. i remember listening to her on my plane trip to hawaii. she was everything to me lol. she was on my mind 24/7 and i couldnt get her out of my head. then 2007 came, i got a job and i started lifting weights and i started to lose interest in her. by summer of 07 i was just a website visitor awaiting news on her comeback. then i just stopped...

now its 2009, i have a girlfriend, the job i got in 2007 closed, im freakishly buff now, and i havent listened to one of her songs since early 2007. i go on youtube and i decide i would listen to one of her songs again and try to wonder why the hell i liked her and her songs so much. i click on an old favorite of mine "a contre courant" and it all came back to me, the memories. the song just brought everything back to those good ole days and i couldnt believe i actually went 2 years without listening to her. i click on more old favorites "Lalize, jen ai marre, JPVA". wow i didnt realize how much i missed those days. she was the reason my 2006 was so damn good. school was good bcuz i would listen to her songs in between classes, just driving in the car and listening to her songs were amazing, even playing wow and listening to her songs while my cousins were at my house not aware of what i was listening to was a blast lol. unfortunately i dont remember a lot of the old members here, but i remember youpidoo. mannn... sorry for such a long post but i wanted everyone to see how much she changed my life just for that 2006, it was amazing and i just let it disappear. hopefully this summer is just like 2006, especially bcuz i found alizee again hehe.

LOL. Cool.

Welcome to the Club. She does get under your skin in a good way.

hey man, your summer 2006 is my summer 2009!
i just found her many weeks ago, and i do the same.

i purposely take the long way home, simply so i can drive and listen to her just a little longer :D (AND i blast it pretty loud with my windows down.. hoping to attract the attention of a unknown fellow Alizee fan here in Naperville)
when i was at college, id be pretty upset if i forgot my ipod, cuz then it would mean no Alizee to listen to! and i had a lot of walking to do too..

hell, i listen to her for everything! doing homework, driving, reading, working out, taekwondo, running, and even sometimes before i sleep.

tis the new Alizee fan syndrome. :p

Welcome back to the family, Brotha. Alizee gets under your skin, but she also gets in your soul. I find myself humming her songs or mumbling them to myself in the poor excuse for french I've picked up from listening to her. Especially if I haven't listened to her for a couple days.

ahaha yeah man im that way to lol, my little brother once i na while just starts to say i should have never woken you up to see Alizee lol.

hahaa! s'matter of fact, i got yelled at for buying her albums by my mom.. she said it was a waste of money seeing as how i download the rest of my music for free. i simply said the generic "you don't understand" defense. which is true!

:D

yea man.. i used to take the long way home too HAHAHA.... even though i would come home and listen to her. yea i pretty much needed my ipod everywhere i went just so i can listen to her. i even went so far as wanting to learn french.
funny thing im NOT a new alizee fan. i just simply got sidetracked by work, gym, and girlfriend that i didnt really have the chance to listen to her anymore. one thing i can say is even though i only really listen to like 5 of her songs "L'alize, JPVA, ACC, JAM, la isla".... i never did get tired of those songs.
im glad im back. hopefully this summer brings me back to 2006.

Well, there's much more to be found beyond those few songs, you should expand your collection. There are a LOT of non hits (and a new album since you stopped listening to her in early 2007) that are just as good or better than the hits. :)

And yes, I would love to go back to the early days of being a fan. The biggest part of the early charm was not knowing the songs. Right now, even though I don't know what very many of the words MEAN, I do know what a lot of the words ARE, and I don't hear the actual musical and melodic aspects as much as I used to, I just kind of sing along in my mind. Maybe the new album out this year (hopefully) will have that kind of charm again.

I'm like that also. The only CD's I have purchased since 2005 is Alizée's. :p

yea the thing is, the reason i can listen to L'Alize, ACC, JAM, JPVA, and La isla bonita so much is that it everytime i listen to them, it always brings me back to that summer. it reminds me of how great it was although i took it for granted. i mean i didnt even really go out that summer, i usually just stayed home and my cousins would come over everyday or sleep over and we would just be playing WoW and watchin tv and stuff. and then it reminds me of my week trip to hawaii which of course i had to listen to alizee there.
i listened to some of her newer songs but i really didnt catch a charm like i did with her older songs. her new songs sound really....modern. i mean they are great songs but i just cant listen to them as much as i did her older songs.

i think her new songs take a bit to get used to. unless of course, youre not all that into the "modern music".

when i first got her Psychedelices CD i wasn't a fan of much of it.. but then I listened to it over and over and over.. and over again. and yea, im starting to fall for them too.

but my all time favorite still remains to be JPVA of course!

:D

Music is what you makes it to, you can learn to like any kind of music if you try hard enough. Let's take the Adelaide song for example. The first time I heard it I thought it to be the, if you exuse the expression, gayest shit I've ever heard. Then I started to melt little by little. Today I think it's really cute and it puts a smile to my face everytime I hear it :wub:

EDIT: What you said there NewAlizeeFan got me thinking of a new thread :)
Hint: It's about memories and how they affect us.

wait, what's the Adeladie song??

It's a duo with her and Alain Chaimfort, another French singer, it should be available to view in this site's video section. ;)

Yeah I fell in love with that song the first time I watched it here on the video section. I love the way she does the sholder shrug thing.

oooh, ok. i thought it was that one song she sang with the other girl. the one when Alizee has a lot of makeup on and wearing gigantic pants. :p

That song has been growing on me as well. It's now in my top 5. :)

Give the other songs of the era a shot. VVV, JBG, CDP, etc. They all have some wonderful little things that are very catchy and memorable.

You shouldn't download music for free. its a shame that a parent endorses the theft of artistic and intellectual property and scolds you when you legitimately buy. Its too bad a generation is growing up with the sense of entitlement of free music. Sorry for the hard words, but this old fart was raised on buying LP's and treating them as heirlooms... I wonder of the lack of a physical media for music these days propagates this decline in the value of music :(

You were right the first time... it is the gayest, frenchiest thing heard.. but its Alizee singing it with her coy expressions... :wub: plus she luvs the '80's and purple and lets face it.. the 80's is very purple... hence gay.. I mean even the computer logos were rainbow gay! ;D
