Absolutely, but as I mentioned, I find certainly with myself, that I'm more likely to look at something if an image and even a poor translation is posted rather than just a link, so I think it's better for the forum to post something more tangible than just a link.

If somebody finds a better translation, I hope they'll share it with us.

With Dals, season 4 and with the show SAGA, I paid a young lady who was a little younger than Alizee, who used to live in Paris, but then moved to the USA, to translate those shows into English a pricey sum. I also paid her to translate some interviews.
I guarantee you this was not cheap. I didn't do it for me, I did it for the forum and I did it for Alizée. Is there anyone else in here who can say that?
Here is a couple of the videos I had translated;

Oh but I agree, of course a bad translation is better than nothing. I was only trying to be helpful in my earlier post, giving a summarised translation of my own when a link was all there was.

Yes I am already well aware that you paid someone to translate episodes of Stars au grand air and Danse avec les stars. I don’t know what you are trying to say by bringing it up again here. It seems a contribution that I thought would be of interest instead caused some misunderstanding and offence.

This sounded sarcastic to me. Why in the world would I not want others to post translations?

Then I misunderstood and would like to apologise for the mess. I did not mean to be sarcastic, no. For some reason when you said when we mods post an article like this, we'll post an image of the story along with a Google translation, I took that to mean that perhaps users who are not mods cannot post translations. We are all free to contribute translations (right?). Sorry, it’s not my brightest day, I read too much into your words.

No need to apologize. We have misunderstandings here all the time and I'm often the misunderstander.

Anyone can post a translation. Also if i post one and someone comes up with a better one, feel free to post it, after all, French is often a difficult language to translate.

Why did Alizée, the 'Lolita' who stole the heart of Mexico, retire ?; this we know

The singer conquered the Mexican market in 2007

ENRIQUE TINAJERO / EL SIGLO DE TORREÓN
TORREÓN, Friday, October 15, 2021, updated at 3:51 pm

In the late 1990s, the singer and dancer, Alizée, participated in the Graines de Star talent show, where she was discovered by musicians Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat. In 2000 she achieved worldwide success thanks to her song "Moi... Lolita", the first single from her debut album "Gourmandises".

The singer managed to position herself as one of the main musical exponents of France, taking her music to different corners of the world.

In 2003 she released her second album "Mes courants électriques", from which the song "J'en ai marre !" emerged, which became one of her greatest hits, selling more than 200 thousand copies in her country of origin alone.

In 2004 she decided to separate from her musical mentors, Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, and married the musician Jérémy Chatelain, with whom she had a daughter, Annily.

In 2007, with the arrival of YouTube, the name of Alizée gained strength in Latin America and Mexico mainly, territory where after the release of "Psychédélices", an album that would mark her return to music, she conquered the popularity charts despite the language barrier and having a great impact on Mexican radio. It should be noted that this work was not as successful in France as her first two albums, it is in Mexico where it finds its market. Until 2008 the album had sold more than 200 thousand copies, from this albums hits such as "Fifty-Sixty" and "Mademoiselle Juliette" originate.

Exclusively, she presented the cover "La Isla Bonita" by Madonna as a promotional single for Mexico.

The level of success achieved by Alizée forced Universal Music to relaunch in Mexico all the previous albums of the singer, including the concert "Alizée En Concert".

In 2008 she toured Mexico, visiting Mexico City, Puebla, Monterrey and Guadalajara.

After a time away from the media, Alizée released her fourth studio album "Une enfant du siècle" in 2010, which was critically acclaimed, however, it did not enjoy the commercial success of her previous work, in France it only reached position 24 on the sales chart. On the other hand, the song "Les Collines (Never Leave You)" was well received in Mexico on channels such as MTV and Telehit.

In 2011 she returned to Mexico to have a brief appearance on national television, on a famous singing talent show.

After that, Alizée released two more albums: "5" in 2013 and "Blonde" in 2014, although they were sold in Mexico, they failed to capture the attention of the general public.

Retirement

Although she has had a few appearances on shows like "Dance avec les stars", and even in early 2020 she appeared on television singing "J'en ai marre !", Alizée's career seems to be over, as she currently has a more normal life, now she stays away from the stage and runs a dance school in Ajaccio, France. Although she has ruled out releasing new music, a comeback could be at any moment.


Where do World of Warcraft Dances Come From? Origins and Inspirations for all the WoW Dance Emotes

Male Night Elves have perhaps the single coolest dance animation in all of World of Warcraft. I know people who have created NE characters simply to be able to bust out their fantastic dance moves. Their dance comes from Michael Jackson’s iconic “Billie Jean” video routine. Jackson’s reputation may have sullied a bit in recent years, but there’s no denying he was one of the greatest superstars of all time.

Perhaps the most popular dance in all of Warcraft, the female Night Elf’s dance moves come from French recording artist Alizée. Specifically, the dance comes from a performance of her song “J’en ai marre.”

HOW IS IT NOW WITH... ?

ALIZÉE FROM MOI... LOLITA

Twenty years ago everyone listened to ‘Moi... Lolita’, how is singer Alizée now?

Still that young face from back then

How are things now? Where have they gone? Stars from then that have disappeared from the spotlight. Today the French singer Alizée, known for the hit Moi... Lolita.

Maxime Segers 20-10-21, 11:16

More than twenty years ago, the then 16-year-old French singer Alizée appeared out of nowhere with the song Moi... Lolita. The song immediately marked her big breakthrough: Moi... Lolita was a resounding success in Europe as well as in parts of East Asia. More than 2 million copies were sold in Europe, 1.2 million of which were in France alone. The hit was also mega successful in the Netherlands: with more than 40,000 copies sold, the song even reached gold status.

The song turned out not only to be a success, Alizée herself was also appreciated by listeners worldwide. This was partly due to the lascivious dances in her video clip and her looks. The video has now been viewed more than 37 million times on YouTube and the French edition of the magazine For Him Magazine even put her in the second place of most beautiful women in 2010.

Alizée, who made us dance more than 20 years ago, to her song "Moi... Lolita" is today a fulfilled mother! She tells us the story behind the first names of her two daughters, Annily and Maggy.

Summary

- The history of the first name Annily
- The etymology of the first name Annily (Annie-Lee)
- The history of the first name Maggy
- The etymology of the first name Maggy

We grew up with her. Today, Alizée has put aside her singing career in favor of that of a dancer. Married since 2016 to Grégoire Lyonnet, the professional dancer with whom she won the show Dancing with the Stars, the young woman is now the head of the A&G Lyonnet dance studio in Ajaccio and mother of two daughters: Annily, 16 years old, born from her union with the musician Jérémy Chatelain, and Maggy, 2 years old. She tells us the story of these two choices of first names.


The history of the first name Annily

"Jérémy Châtelain's mother (editor's note: Annily's dad, from whom Alizée divorced in 2011) died two years before Annily was born. Her name was Annie. She was ill for a long time, for years. When our daughter was born, Jérémy wanted to pay tribute to his mother without giving her the same first name. Her death was still recent, and we did not want the family to make a "transfer" on the baby. Compound name Anny-Lee, which existed in the United States, but we didn't want an American name. So we invented Annily. And my oldest daughter really likes her first name!


The etymology of the first name Annily (Annie-Lee)

The first name Annie means Grace in Hebrew. It is the diminutive of Anne. As for the first name Lee, it has several meanings: clearing in English, poetic in Irish and strength, cutting edge, standing in Chinese. Lee is also a very common Chinese surname. Variant: Li. Characterology: sense of duty, method, reliability, commitment, tenacity.


The history of the first name Maggy

We struggled to find a name that we don't hear everywhere. We have a lot of girls in our dance school and therefore we hear a lot of Corsican first names. Even though I am very attached to my roots, I find it complicated to have a Corsican first name and to travel to the continent. I realize that when we bring the children to the competition and we have to call them at the microphone at the airport, some have (a little) unpronounceable names. We were therefore looking for a first name that was easy to wear, but unusual, which was not in the French top.

The logo of our dance studio consists of our initials A and G (for Alizée and Grégoire). Our first idea was to find a first name that begins with a G so that Grégoire and our daughter have the first letter of their first name in common, as is the case with Annily and me. But for a little girl, it is not easy and we could not find a first name in G!

I had bought a book of names that I looked up and down for days until I came to the first name Maggy. I was already 8 months pregnant. I found Maggy to be a soft name, neither long nor compound, whatever I was looking for. I like soft names for girls, I like old nameslike Louise, Mathilde... But I have the impression that they are coming back too fashionable. And this first name contains the two consecutive letters A and G, our two initials. We therefore started with this first name, without having others in comparison. When I offered it to Grégoire and Annily, they liked it straight away. Grégoire, who is still struggling to decide, said to himself "Ok, we keep this first name for the moment and we will see at birth when she will be there". And when he saw Maggy for the first time, he thought that name suited her very well. I didn't want Grégoire to accept my ideas of first names to please me, I wanted it to remain a real choice as a couple.

For the spelling, we put a Y at the end, because the surname of Grégoire (Lyonnet) contains one, as does my maiden name Jacotey. These are little winks that people are not necessarily aware of. And this first name suits him pretty well!

We also chose second and third names for girls, those of grandmothers. Annily therefore has Annie, the first name of her paternal grandmother, and Michèle which is the first name of my mother. My grandfather who was called Paul died 5 years ago, I didn't want to call Maggy Paule, because it's always complicated to give the first name of a person who recently left to a child. So, I gave her a second name. Maggy also has the first name of Grégoire's grandmother, who is called Régine.


The etymology of the first name Maggy

The first name Maggy means Pearl (Greek). According to L'Officiel des Prénoms 2022 (First editions), it can be estimated that less than 30 children will be named as such in 2022. Variants: Maggie, Magguy. Characterology: vitality, strategy, ardor, achievement, achievement.


Maggy:
mAGgy = Alizée & Grégoire
maggY = jacoteY & lYonnet
