[Alizée,Angel of Ajaccio..]

Hi, guys sorry I've not posted, been a little tied up.

Alright, I hate to add to the speculation, but I must.

Personally, I do not think she was crying (at least not exactly). What I believe may have occurred was that she was overheated and perspiring profusely. While what AIF said about the temperature in the venue was correct, which was that it was fairly comfortable, I think Alizée may not have been able to enjoy the same conditions. I was able to get a good glimpse of the backstage setup and there was a separate "Hospitality" type of tent set up for the performers. I have every reason to believe that inside the tent the temps could have been much more uncomfortable. So while I can't say with 100% certainty, I think what happened was that she was simply in the tent getting overheated, then got on stage and perspired heavily. Her face was totally soaked as if she had been misted with a spray bottle. Which is another reason I don't think she was crying, because her face was wet in areas where the gravity of standing up would not have allowed.

Now we will have to get help from our beloved female forum members, but I'm pretty sure that the sweat combined with make-up could create a scenario that would make your eyes water and burn pretty badly. So what I think we had was a sort of cascading affect.

Now with regards to what AIF said about the darkness, personally I think that the house spotlights were not as hot as normal, so I think it was just a lighting issue. When you add the black dress (which I think looked good), it probably did add to the "dark" affect.
Ultimately, I think she looked great and performed well. The video cameras got some great close-ups which were shown on the three big screens. The stage had a runway down the middle that came to a T intersection. This allowed for the Angel to come out all the way to the boundary of zone A and zone B and then go pretty far to the right and left. I was, for an all too brief moment within 2 or 3 feet away of the Angel. The set up was cool as it gave many more audience members an opportunity to experience a front row effect.

I'm still not able to see any Youtube vids here, so I don't have the benefit of viewing the aforementioned yet, but I will later.

Gotta go, more later.
