Singing about goldfish and bubble baths is for bubble gum pop artists in their teens, not in their 20s. This probably explains why Alizee gets so much love from non-French audiences. They just love her voice and the tunes composed by LB. La Isla Bonita and Ella Elle L'a are her most populat songs on Youtube, and they aren't even written by the Mylene/LB duo. It's all about Alizee's sultry voice and the tune.

Uh, exactly. How many people here fell in love with at least one of her songs/performances before they had any clue what she was saying?
