The video killed the audio star! Many of the mainstream music artists of today would have never made it before the advent of the video. I'm not sure that I can be objective enough regarding Alizee. Her physical personna and personality is such a big part of her as an artist that it would be hard to imagine just listening to her music like in the days before video. I can't speak French and I rely on others interpretations to know what little I know. I do know her voice is very unique and captivating in a way that I don't care what the lyrics are. I really don't care what a musicians opinion is on anything anyway. I respect the instrument of their voice and or other instruments, the power and melody only. I love many different genre's of music, but I am not interested in the technical side of it or even the personal lives of musicians. I listen for pleasure and anything else is too much like work.
