Didn't someone point out in the last month or two that Alizée is a major ratings booster for television shows she appears on in France?

IMO, she was by far the most beautiful woman out there and she is a joy to watch dancing. Then we all know what a great person she is on the inside, a fact that I'm sure is well known by the French people, a fact that makes her presence on the show a key focus of their planning for the show. I'm sure you all heard in the interview with her and Nolwenn how rushed the preperations for this show were, but both of them looked like they had been rehearsing for weeks. That I'm sure is another thing that is truely valuable to the producers of this show.
Look for example at this clip from this years Les Enfoires. At the start of it there are three big lugs who are walking up on stage. They were hardly into it. They were probably horrified when they told them that they were going to asked to wear a skirt,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I mean a kilt. I certainly would of if I had been in their position. But directly behind them there was a man of dark complexion, and behind him there was a relatively young man ( well young in relation to me) who is just really into it. It was enjoyable to watch him. He made the best of an uncomfortable situation and entertained the crowd. I wish I could be that cool. (Who is this guy anyways?) Reminded me of the Fonz. So this is the type of guy they would want back next year on their show along with Alizee (It's a good thing for Jeremy that he already sealed the deal).

As far as the public liking her, you are absolutely right that there are many people in France who have a special place in their hearts for her. They are just waiting for her to come up with something truely to their liking. They will not settle for anything less than what they think is very good music. But I think all the keys pieces are in place. Alizee has gone through a learning curve since she left MF and LB and she willl apply what she has learned in her next album and that will be an awesome moment, for when she does well in France, all the elements will be in place in this country, that weren't in place in 2003, to promote her and she will come to this country and get the recognition she deserves.
