I'm going to suggest something here, which I believe is true.

Alizée wants to be thought of in a sexual way. She likes being an object of desire -- as long as that isn't all she is (and there's no danger of that whatsoever). She likes being sexy. She likes turning people on. If she didn't, she wouldn't do it. And she certainly does do it! She likes to flirt, she likes to seduce, she enjoys wearing revealing clothes. It's all in the interviews, if you care to look it up.

So no, you wouldn't be violating her or disrespecting her by thinking of her in a sexual way, as long as doing so doesn't mean you can't also relate to her as an admirer of her talent and an affectionate friend. Because of course these are things she wants too; she isn't one-dimensional.

Something else, though: the lyrics of J'en Ai Marre are somewhat subtle and not crude or vulgar. The interpretation, by setting everything out in the open, isn't subtle and is crude and vulgar. But she's never performed the interpretation, only the song.
