I think her performance of JEAM was perfect. I literally can't imagine another dancer doing it better.
(I'm less impressed with DALS--- but that kind of dancing doesn't impress me much anyways.)

When I said at her pinnacle, I meant her dancing career at DALS.
Her performance of J'en Ai Marre, both singing and dancing, both blew me away. When I first stumbled on it, I couldn't stop watching it for days.

A huge amount of the credit for that belongs to MF/LB. Where would Alizée be without the great music he produced, the great songs she wrote, the great dances that were choreographed for her? That said, no one else could have combined all that, plus what Alizée herself brought to the table and combined it into something we can never forget.
It was an incredible alignment of the stars that I have never seen in my lifetime. In this country, when a really bad storm comes along, they often call it the storm of the century. Well, I think the 'Tempete' Alizée goes way beyond that and if any of our younger members, never see anything comparable, it wouldn't surprise me.

I'm actually older than Scruffydog, by quite a bit, and I have been somewhat of a fan of many artists throughout my life, but never like I have been for Alizee. For awhile--20 years before Alizee was born--I believed Nathalie CARDONE was the most beautiful woman on earth, but I was never addicted to her or any other artist in my life as I have been to Alizee.
I was confounded by teen-age girls going crazy over the Beatles, screaming so loud it was impossible to hear a single note of their music and fainting in the crowd so they had to be taken out of the auditorium in stretchers. What the hell was that all about? There was no chance for any of them to have a relationship with the Beatles so what was the sense of getting tied up in knots over them?
The first time I saw Alizee perform J'en Ai Marre, that was it. She owned me. That has never happened to me before or since. I've seen quite a few young beauties come up, they are talented and attractive, I enjoy their performances, but I have no interests in their lives off stage. I agree with Scruffydog, there is something different and dynamic about Alizee. She is not the most beautiful woman and far from the most talented, but there is something magical about her. She alone is the "It Girl."
