I'm sure the reason they didn't schedule even just one concert is this album isn't doing well and in fact, probably worse than they imagined.

With Psych, lack of promotion was blamed. With this album Sony did a lot of promotion. There are probably more and better ways they could've done it, but they did put a lot of effort into it and still, sales were disappointing. So I'm sure if they can't get the album to sell, how can they hope to hold a successful concert? At some point you have to say enough is enough.

As far as her making this album for her fans, that I'd say is not the case. She's under contract with Sony. Sony wants to make money. Even Alizée after two failed albums as far as France is concerned would like to see her album sell well, if not for money, then just for the fact of having some success among a relevant number of people in France.

She's gained some more popularity with DALS which might make people more inclined to buy her album, but there too, I think not enough to make a difference. It would've been interesting if 5 came out after the first 2 weeks of DALS, to see if the timing would've made a difference, but I'm still inclined to think it would not have.

I'm sure the thing for her to be able to have a concert in Paris is for her to come out with a least 1 top ten hit, whether it be through another album or could there be a single released outside of an album.

But this would have to happen soon. As soon as her participation in this DALS or the possible tour after the first of the year ends, this new found popularity will quickly fade unless she finds something else. Being a judge on the show next year, wont do as much for her as being a contestant except provide a paycheck which I'm sure she'll be happy for.
