I disagree. I think if American men were asked to rate a 19-year old Britney versus a 19-year old Alizee, 70% - 80% of American men would rate Alizee as better looking. (In the case of Madonna, I think 80% - 90% of American men would rate Alizee as better looking.)

I think "J'ai pas vingt ans" would have been a big hit in the U.S.--- the song has a very "American" feel to it.
I'm not sure how JEM or YOUP would have done--- they have more of a "European" feel to them (this is particularly true of YOUP, with all its minor chords.)
