One such friend is Amelie. I invited her to my messenger and the first time we chatted went on for hours. The more we talked the more we found out how much we have in common. Within the next few days we've became as close as sisters. I love her very much. This does not make us gay in any sense of the word.

Which was exactly my point, Rocket: that being more than "just a fan" of Alizée does NOT make a woman gay -- not that it DOES. Did I not make that clear enough? All part of saying that her appeal isn't primarily sexual.
Alizée's appeal is primarily to the heart -- very much the same as Amelie's appeal to you -- and it is something that reaches out to both genders equally. The sex appeal is secondary, and I contend that her musical appeal is also secondary, even though both can be very strong.
There have been several threads in here in which people were expressing bewilderment as to what it is about Alizée that's so captivating. Her voice? Enya's is just as good, perhaps better, and I could name several others too. Her beauty? Plenty of hot babes out there; nothing unique about Alizée's anatomy or facial features, although she's certainly lovely. Her sex appeal? Plenty of that to choose from, too. She doesn't play any instruments and she doesn't write music or lyrics, although either of those may have changed in the last four years. There are many other artists who are virtuosos at one or both and would put her in the shade.
So the draw is a mystery. But what I believe it is, is the power of love. Everything else -- the voice, the dancing, the beauty, everything -- is just enhancement to that. We're all captivated by it, even when we think we're captivated by something else, whether it's her voice or her hip movements.
There's nothing more powerful in the whole world, and somehow Alizée manages to convey it to a whole lot of people she doesn't even know. Some people aren't sensitive to it, I think. But I also think those people don't remain interested in her for long. Certainly not across a 4-year inactivity gap.
Anyway, I'm not sure how you got the idea that I was calling you a lesbian when I was in fact saying the exact opposite, but whatever. Is it clearer now?
