Watching Alizee in all these videos, she appears to enjoy the experience of singing before an audience. Which again raises the exasperating question, why did she give it up? I understand her albums weren't selling, but her audiences have always been enthusiastic. I think possibly the labor of finding new tunes, and the aggravation of getting the arrangement just right, arguing with everyone who has a different opinion, might be the reason. I wish she would just come out and say why she doesn't want to sing. Apparently, "stubbornness" is a Corsican characteristic, and Alizee prides herself on being a "true Corsican," thus she emphasizes that part of her personality. If this is so, it has done her career serious damage and vexed her fans no end.
