Thanks. How about something like this?

Fans des États-Unis et Canada: Traverser l’hémisphère pour

Traverser l'hemisphere pour Alizée...

États-Unis / Canada
That's decent and simple. It implies stuff about Alizée rather than stating it. To represent, it works. Ça marche. Maybe the second and third lines could be smaller cause it's a lot of text otherwise.

Or just a fade of an American flag and some big ass maple leaves in the background. Ok, maybe that wouldn't be obvious enough, but it was funny to say.

I still prefer the idea of just saying something about Alizée like Chute sous le charme if people actually use that phrase. The use of chuter and tomber is a little tricky. The distinctions are not abundantly clear it seems from reading French people debate it. (and we'll ignore choir and even baisser, all of which could be translated to fall).

Again, I still don't know if I'll even be going so it's not really voting, just giving opinion. I understand that there may be a particular point, as Big Dan and Ben suggest with their posts. So, what's the aim? Definitely to make a statement about North America or just suggesting people should like Alizée? The latter could be a little simpler and easier to make a reference to the appearance of falling or flying, but the former might be more interesting to some people.
