I agree with these comments that Alizee can certainly cross over into another genre and still have an impact. La Javanaise is a folksy love song, and her life gives her singing love songs more credibility. Last bit of lyrics in English:
Alas, April in vain dedicates me to love
I wanted to see that love in you my love
Whether it pleases you or not
In dancing the Javanaise
We loved each other for the length of a song
Life is not worth living without love
But you’re are the one who wanted it that way my love
Whether it pleases you or not
In dancing the Javanaise
We loved each other for the length of a song

She should do more performances like this, especially now that she is older. There is a beautiful purity to her voice and certainly many great love songs to sing that fall within her range.

She is very mesmerizing with an Angelic sweet voice. Very talented, and love how she can cross over to different sounds to capture a broader audience. I don't understand a word. But, it tugs at my heart.Well done Alizee.
