This is big in my opinion. It shows she hasn't given up on her music career and the probability of her being in Les Enfoires I'd say just went up dramatically.

I hope she chooses her songs carefully. Some of her songs that sounded good years ago, sound different now due to changes due to age I'm sure.

I also hope she chooses her outfits carefully. During the time she was promoting Blonde, she looked great in her off stage appearances and in my opinion, not so great on stage. She really needs a manager for her career, especially if she hopes to make more appearances like this.

OK guys, I was very skeptical about this yesterday because it seemed to come out of the blue and she hadn't performed anywhere in 4 years and it looked like she was done singing. It was like a dream and I just needed to be pinched to wake up. Today, I am convinced. :)

I agree with Scruffy about song selection and outfits. Everybody in the audience will want to hear Moi Lolita and JEM, that is a given. She was cute when she was a teenager singing Moi Lolita in those outfits MF picked for her, but when she was still singing them 10 years later, squeezing into that Moi Lolita dress didn't look as becoming. If she decided to sing them, I think it would be a mistake for her to try to recreate the dances as they were. Maybe (hopefully) this is something that she has worked on with MF lately, having a stage performance that is more mature but still fun.

One thing brought up in the past was her apparent loss of voice strength singing as she aged. She also seemed to struggle with higher notes. Like an athlete, singers need to exercise their voices. I hope she has been working on it and sound terrific next month. I REALLY hope that she realizes how much she missed singing afterwards and not only be in LE 2019, but put out a new album (with good management)! :)

Well one thing I've seen over the years of following her including the different phases of her album productions, was seeing her in the dance studio on numerous occasions. How ever, the number of times she's been seen in a sound studio has paled in comparison.

I'm sure she's rusty as hell, but I also think she'd be willing to step out on that stage with little rehearsal. She better get some coaching and I mean not just a friend, but somebody who really knows what they are doing or this could go very badly for her.

I have a feeling this crowd will be expecting or at least hoping for the type of performances they saw from her from 1999 to 2003. They will not be happy with the amateur hour performances they saw in Mexico. She needs to present her most beautiful side and I don't think I have to go into detail of what that involves. They still know her and they will not be happy with something that is far short of what she is 'still' capable of.

I have to agree with both of you.

When I first heard the news, I thought I must have misunderstood. I'm sure her audience will be generous if she's not on the mark, but I hope she has a smash hit that blows the audience away and encourages her to take up singing again. The sponsors probably requested her old hits: Moi...Lolita and J'en ai marre. So she might not have been given a choice of tunes. Even so, a good reception might bring her back. :omg::omg::omg::omg:

This is great news that's taken me completely by surprise.

I looked at the other names on the menu for that day as far as musicians, it looks like one is Lady Pank, a Polish rock group that's been around since 1981. One of thier videos has had over 22 million views. So I guess they are fairly successful.

Another name is Jacek Kawaleck. From what I've seen, it looks like he does JoeCocker songs.

That looks like that is it for musical entertainment. So not a star star studded lineup and I think the crows will be expecting, or at least hoping for a lot from Alizée.

Also if you look at the times, they have Jacek Kawaleck scheduled to go on at 16:30
They have Alizée scheduled for 18:30
Then they have Lady Pank on at 20:30

From looking at it, there will be some other non musical stuff going on to help fill in at spots but I can't help but think the organizers too, will be hoping for more than a couple of songs out of Alizée.

Ghislain Rossi of AIFC told me of an article in Charts in France about this event.

A quote from this article "But this first step towards a comeback in due form has left its French community in turmoil, which is now dreaming of a date in France. We cross fingers !"

French community????....more like world community!

and turmoil is an understatement!

Alizée announces her return to the stage for a festival in Poland
A year after announcing a break in her musical career, Alizée quietly begins her return. The singer will perform soon at a festival in Warsaw, Poland. Good news for her fans!

Between Alizée and the music, the page seemed turned. A year ago, the interpreter of "Alkaline" confided to take an indefinite break in his career after losing the desire to practice this profession. "Since my last album [" Blonde "in 2014, ed] I especially enjoyed dancing with Greg. It's also a job that makes me earn money. For the moment, I do not feel like going back to record a disc "revealed the winner of" Dance with the stars 4 ", fulfilled in her activities as a dancer with her husband Grégoire Lyonnet:" I came back to my first passion, dancing. When I was little and was asked what I wanted to do, I answered something related to dance (...) I do not want to make album anymore. Statements that have obviously caused the sadness of her fans, who fell in love with Alizée in the year 2000 thanks to the cult "Moi ... Lolita" and who have since seen her grow to become an accomplished mother.

In recent weeks, however, Alizée multiplies the clues on a musical return potential. At the beginning of July, the 33-year-old surprised her fans by unveiling a surprise for the 18 years of her unforgettable hit: her first two albums concocted with Mylène Farmer, "Gourmandises" (2000) and "My electric currents" "(2003), are now available in remastered version on streaming platforms. In addition, Alizée launched its official YouTube channel to allow nostalgics to re-discover all its clips. A beautiful gift that precedes another: his return on stage! The singer has just announced on its social networks, she will perform in concert on September 8th. For the moment, it is only an appearance in a festival in Warsaw, Poland, where Alizée enjoys since its inception a high popularity. But this first step towards a comeback in due form has left its French community in turmoil, which is now dreaming of a date in France. We cross fingers !

Edit:

It's interesting in her video she says 'concert'. Two songs is not a concert!

Very exciting news!
You can watch ( youtube) a live concert from Jacek Kawaleck with his band, background singers., trumpets.. Lady Pank looks like a serious live band too, so both with a lot experience on the stage. I dont know what do expect from Alizee and will she also play with a live band?

I can't find it right now but if the "she will only perform 2 songs" refers to a post from the organisers it was probably more like "Alizée's going to perform. Her most famous songs are JEAM and ML." I saw it somewhere on facebook. The actual concert will be about an hour. It would be ridiculous to invite her for only 2 songs.

Good to hear from you Jenny. Is there any chance you might go to this show?

Luckily one of the former AF members is going to Warsaw and there's still some space left for me in his car. And from where we live Poland is much closer than France and who knows if she's ever doing a gig again?

We (or better he because I can't drive anymore) will have a over 7 hrs long drive but I'm sure it will be worth it. Even if Alizée would just stand there and look pretty. :need:

Tho I'm sure I can't beat Ske Leton's HD videos - who's also going - with my Nikon I'll try to record sth and if it's only just for myself.

Edit:

Proof that the concert will last 1 h:

http://i66.tinypic.com/2dwdg6v.png

Wow!.....1 hour of Alizée.....in concert.....that's hard to believe.

I hope she takes the necessary steps to put on a good show.

Hope a lot HD cameras around that day! :)

Well it sounds like we'll have at least 2 of her fans there and I have a feeling there will be more.

RMJ and Ske Leton are coming too and I'm sure there are still a lot of Polish fans left. I don't know how many there are but at AF there used to be a Polish forum and the fans there seemed to be quite loyal.

In addition - and she really should consider this - there might be also a lot of non-fans in the audience that will be waiting for the third act so it would be a good idea if she performs several of her greatest hits because this part of the audience won't know her new songs. La isla bonita might be a good choice as well. We'll see.

And she should practice a lot before the concert because yeah - her voice might be a bit rusty. Even if I don't agree with Scruffy - I really liked her performance in Mexico.

Some of Alizée's other festival appearances over the years;

Thank You!

Ummmm...
Call me a pessimist (or whatever) but judging by past events i confidently predict that she will either a) Not turn up or b) Cancel at the last minute.
I sincerely hope i'm wrong but doubt that i am.

Hey Junkmale! It's good to hear from you again and I hope you are doing well.

I have to say I think you are completely wrong. I think she will be there, but I think this show will be a disaster because one thing she has proven time and time again since she left MF/LB is that she has no idea how to 'produce' a good show.

I think she has the idea she can test the waters in Warsaw by going to this little heard of festival in Poland, but as your post and Jenny's post in here show, the world is watching. The world knows what she is capable of. Poland knows what she is capable of. If she puts on the same type of show that has been typical of her since she went out on her own, she will be booed off the stage.

Well I doubt that she'll put on a "show" like the ones during the en concert era but that doesn't mean her performances during the Mexico Tour for example were a desaster. I liked them. Most fans did as well. And I never cared that much about lightning effects and background dancers.

Sure, her singing wasn't like en concert but it wasn't bad either. It was good and she had fun on the stage. And don't forget that on the en concert DVD they were able to cut weaker moments.

But well, that's just me.

Anyway I'm not expecting a big show in Warsaw anyway. She's got one hour and she's not the main act, it's not her "own" stage, so she might not have the possibility to put up a lot of scenery etc. in the background. She'll be bringing her musicians, instruments and she'll probably include a dance number, most likely with Greg. There will be 8 or 9 songs. That's all I'm expecting and I won't be unhappy if there won't be anything else.

And most fans will just be happy to see her.

Here's an advert for the upcoming event:
http://youtu.be/n1NkKPjq6g4

It may be a coincidence, but it's interesting that they didn't choose the ML clip for the advert but instead FS. Not that I'm complaining, she's gorgeous in this video. :wub: But it's something non-fans would probably not pick. My guess is still that whoever had the idea to invite her is following her carrier and probably used her email adress on instagram, considering how out of the sudden this concert is happening.

Tho my therory doesn't go well with the fashion show in Publea. It's a bit odd that there are suddenly two non-dancing public appearances in 2 months. But again... I'm not complaining. ;)

I am still trying to grasp this, whether it be a few songs or an hour. A few songs is an appearance, but an hour is a concert. I think I am hung up on the logistics on making either possibility happen, the time involved in even making this happen, and the viability of it financially.

Does she have a band? What about backup singers, and dancers? When did she get all this together? Would she even get paid enough to cover those costs? If she has no band, maybe she had hired some studio musicians in Warsaw to play her songs for her for this gig. This seems to make the most financial sense, whether it be a few songs or an hour.

In my opinion, she has everything to gain by this performance... conversely, she has everything to lose as well. I think the absolute worst attitude she can bring into Warsaw is that her faithful fans will love the fact that she is singing again and it does not matter what songs she sings, how rusty she is, what she wears, whether she dances or just stands there and rock back and forth with the beat. I admit, I'm spoiled. I know what she is capable of.

I don't think I would call it a comeback. As I just mentioned in another thread I just started, with the Tournée no more, they both lost what I'm sure was a nice little pay check each year. Plus they lost the fact the show keeps them in the lime light. I think that's what these appearances are about. Some income yes, but also to keep them in demand until other opportunities arise.

As far as a band, I'm sure she has enough connections to get her a decent band. I'd be happy with just a couple of guitar players as was so typical of her early career.

One thing I don't want to see is bunch of girls on stage with her like we had with 'Hung Up' performance...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh-j4PueWpU

When Alizée is packaged right, there's nothing else you want to see on stage. That is still true today. There's nothing else that needs to be on stage. But that is something she's had a huge problem with since leaving MF. She looks great off stage and terrible on stage. If she looks terrible this time and she's a little rusty in voice, it could spell big trouble for her. If she dazzles them with her looks, they might be more forgiving if she's off in other areas. It's a no brainer. She needs to look her best.

From what I'm hearing it will be I would think at least a half dozen songs. They have her scheduled into a 2 hour block, so I doubt if they would bring her in for just 2 songs, but as her past festival appearances have shown, one or two is the norm so who knows yet?

I've said before I think her voice has changed with age and maybe ML and JEM don't sound as good any more. Now if this was an Alizee reunion type of tour such as what the Eagles have done for so many years, people would be understanding if things have changed as far as voice. But this is a festival, many people will be very familiar with her and the ones who aren't now, thanks to Youtube, will be very familiar with her by the time the show rolls around. She is still very capable of putting on a good show and these people will realize it and will be unhappy with anything less. She better do her homework and figure out why things have gone wrong and correct them before she shows up on that stage.

I think the song Alcaline would be a very good choice for her and I'd be very surprised if it isn't one of the songs she chooses, plus it's a recent song. K.O. too I like.

Now I'd expect her to sing at least one song in a different language than French to reach more people. I would think there wouldn't be enough time for her to learn a Polish song so I think there will be one song in English. The English version of Amelie was a beautiful song and would have been her next single if she hadn't decided to pull the plug on that golden goose.

Probably the word "comeback" was not the best word for this, because it implies an attempt to climb back to where she was as a singer during her glory days. Maybe it should have been phrased as a return to singing.

It might be motivated by money only, and there is nothing wrong with that because they have to make a living and singing is one of her talents that can produce income. You started another thread on the subject so I will comment further there.


Now what would be the right packaging for a 34 year-old Alizee (by the way, Happy Birthday Alizee!)? The dress in the "Hung Up" performance is the same one she used in the official Fifty-Sixty music video. She obviously liked it very much and she was 24 and can pull off wearing it even though I don't think it is a very impressive dress.

She is still, in my opinion, the most beautiful woman on earth. It's just a fact of life that a performer is judged the moment they step out onto the stage. She presents herself right, and she will win over new fans.

Edit:

Alcaline was probably the best song from her last three albums. I still listen to it quite a bit.

The link I posted earlier isn't working anymore but here's another link to the advert, even if the quality isn't that good:

https://youtu.be/zsN7SR0LBgU

Thinking about it - we have to keep in mind that it won't be a normal 2 hour long concert, but only 1 h. So she needs to choose her songs wisely.

But let's guess what she might be singing:

She's got one hour, ca. 5 min for each song minus some talking between songs, introducing herself and the band... so let's say 8 or 9 songs in the end.

If she performs only one song from each album we already have 6 in total.

She needs to perform ML and JEAM, that's for sure. JPVA would be nice too.

Possible options from the other albums:
- MJ or FS from Psychédélices,
- Les Collines from UEDS,
- ACDLA or Je veux bien from 5,
- Blonde from Blonde.

Tho personally I doubt that she'll take a song from UEDS, the album is not really made for the big stage and a fun summer concert. If instead a second song from Blonde is possible, I would leave Alcaline out and add sth else additionally - perhaps K.O.

So that's already 6-7 songs.

There also should be time for one slow ballad, like Psychédélices or Mon planeur.

Personally I would love to see her perform Happy End, but that's just a far off dream. Even if the song is a good one for the stage.

And she should really do La isla bonita. Or maybe the Sound of Silence once more. But La isla bonita works better for a summer festival and her voice always gave the song a warm, tropical touch.

At this point, I'm still worried about her change in voice and as much as I'd love to hear her sing ML and JEAM and L'Alize for that matter, I don't want to hear them unless she can sing them well.

I think what she needs to do is reach out to one of her friends in the music industry such as JJG or Pascal Obispo or Patrick Fiori, and have them listen to her sing as many songs as necessary to come up with a list that they think will be a good fit for this show. Hopefully they won't be yesmen or yeswomen who will say yes to what she says to spare her feelings even if it means she'll make a fool of herself. She's had too many people like that in her career. That's why her singing career is in the dismal state it is in.

She's had 'nobody' in her life who has had the kahunas to say, this isn't working, this won't sell, we need to move in a different direction and if that happens here, this wont go well.

I kind of doubt she will be doing a lot of dancing, but if she does, she will have to lip sync in which case a studio version of any of her old songs will work well.

I have more to say, things I need to be said and I feel time is of the essence, but right now, it's officially her birthday so it will have to wait. For the next 24 hours, let's celebrate her day!

Excellent suggestion. Let's hope she doesn't try to do this by herself.

My sentiments exactly. She needs help and these would gladly do just that.

There is a possibility I could go there. I'd have to get somebody to work for me for two days on a Friday and a Saturday which are not good days to get somebody to work for you for. But if there is a way, I will make it happen.

Right on!!! :dance:

You could always bribe them. :)

I see your point but still... it would be a folly not to sing her most famous songs, especially ML and JEAM - because there will be people in the audience who are not fans and won't know her recent work. So she needs an ice-breaker, sth people can sing along to.

If it will be without choreography... not good idea. Then I would choose ACC, Hey Amigo or Toc De Mac. Just remember the short video from her Korea/Japan visit, where she sang JEAM without dancing, it wasn't the same...

From first album ML, L'ALizé and Gourmandises
