If Mylene tried to discourage Alizee from favoring the left side of her mouth, then I think Mylene failed miserably.
Actually, I think the mouth thing is a plus. It gives Alizee character; it makes Alizee seem sly or something. If I was Mylene, I wouldn't haven't discouraged it at all. (If I were to remark about it, I would tell Alizee that I thought it was cute.)
The nose-scrunches are just a playful thing that Alizee does. In contrast, I think that Alizee's favoring of the left side of her mouth has a neurological basis.

So I think it is a natural habit which she brings in her performances. Unconsciously, in my opinion.

We all experience impulses--- but we also choose whether to act on the impulses or not.
These musicians who clap and stomp--- their clapping and stomping is both impulsive and conscious. They experience an impulse to clap--- it "feels right" to clap--- and they act on that impulse. They are fully aware of what they are doing.
The same principle applies to Alizee's nose scrunches; her nose scrunches are both impulsive and conscious. Alizee is fully aware of what she is doing--- regardless of what people say on the forum.
In En Concert, you'll see Alizee do all kind of expressions and gestures--- for example, she'll do eye rolls. When she does an eye roll, its not "unconscious"--- she is fully aware that she is doing an eye roll. The nose scrunches are the same way.
Alizee does eye rolls and nose scrunches in En Concert as a way of relating to the audience. Techincally speaking, Alizee is "acting out" the songs--- that's what a skilled performer does when performing live. Alizee is fully aware of what she is doing; she knows what she is doing at all times.
