The silence did bother me, but I think it’s too late now to fix that as far as the cancellation goes. I get bulletins every week from artists on myspace, but nothing from Alizée. I signed up for her newsletter and never received one. There are other examples of things they have failed to follow through on.
Regardless of who is at fault, obviously much of Alizée’s return has been mismanaged. Sometimes it feels like her fans have more emotional capital invested in this than she does. She doesn’t have to tell us personal or business information. But I think she needs to say something to her fans from time to time. I see it as part of her job. And maybe that’s been the problem. Nobody is performing their jobs to the level required across the board. Whether it’s marketing, promotion, fan relations, or maintaining websites, they have simply fallen short on everything. Let’s hope the situation is going to get better and maybe we can eventually put this all behind us.
