My job title includes the word "Analyst". I get paid to overthink.
It spills into my personal time as well, which can work against me. However, my favorite subject to "overthink" is Alizee.

That kind of thing really does NOT just "happen".
It requires " intense" and " prolonged" " practice" and " repetition". |
The whole x-factor discussion has been all over the place - what makes this girl so compelling? I think she might have multiple x-factors, and different ones might draw in different people.
Alizee's early dancing while performing had her feet kicking out like she did in live versions of Moi Lolita but also saw her doing it in some other songs. When she was 17, she reached a different level. Alizee performed Gourmandises on Graines de Star a few months after her 17th birthday. She has always looked confident on stage, but here she OD's on confidence. Plus, it contains many of her signature face scrunches, and that head and eye move at 1:36 is simply amazing.
I only remember her doing it one other time in a video, and that was when she was performing a song off her album "5".
There are about three or four versions of this video and all are not good quality, but AIFC put out a version several years ago that seems less fuzzy than the others.
Her personality while performing... is it even possible to practice this?
