But when I think of it, Alizée is probably giving to her fans what they really want.

I very much agree with the above and share Corsaire's point of view as far as her singing skills are concerned . Let's face it, one has to be of terribly bad faith not to acknowledge Lili's systematic shortcomings when performing live.
Her Asian promo tour of 2003 provides some interesting content since the japanese and koreans couldn't allow her to lip-synch in front of their audiences.
We can clearly hear that she doesn't dare to sing much louder, (well actually she never dared to sing much louder than that in her entire career!) , likely afraid of losing control over her singing , knowing that she was born with a much weaker and softer voice than most singers. She's quickly out of breath , obviously lacks training and doesn't have the confidence required to go high pitch .
Yet , with all that in mind, I still believe that , hadn't she made her partnership with Mylène come to an end, she would have made a lot of progress and overcame the major weaknesses of her voice... From Graines de Star to the Live 2004 concert , you guys must admit that Mylène's impact on her singing skills was all but unsignificant!

On a sidenote, thanks Corsaire for making me discover Stéphanie Bédard
