So Youtube started in 2005. I remember too that "Google videos" was a popular source of music video, maybe more so than YT in the beginning and it may have been through them that I discovered Alizée because their pages had similar set upsl.
Another great source of videos called Napster, saw it's beginning around the same time as Alizée's career did. It opened on June of 1999. You could get just about anything out there as far as audio and video. You knew it was too good to be true and wouldn't last long and they were sued and had to shut down in July of 2001. I wonder if any of Alizée's music made it onto their platform?
