Yes, a lot of it had to do with her being a product of Mylene. Also, she took waaaaay too long of a break when she broke from MF/LB. French people are very fickle when it comes to the music industry and they moved on. I've seen a lot of people lately refer to Alizee as "a joke". Its sad but, they see that she is not trying very hard.

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.

Yes, the English versions were really bad, but J'en Ai Marre is really about a girl....exploring herself in the tub. She also touches on the subject of rough sex and oral sex in the song. It is most definitely an adult song.
