Well, you can't really blame Her Grace and Beauty for the MCÉ songs since they were just odd translations that so happened to fit the music. I could be wrong, but I don't think she had any influence with those.

Nowadays... I'm sure she's taken some form of English lessons, but they don't seem to have gotten her very far...

Take 2001 Alizée
I can't stand how this lady pronounces her name

and compare it to 2008 (I think?)

I've never understood why the hell she threw that in there... and can't stand it either, which is a shame because the rest of the song sounds amazing.

I can feel the left side of my brain swell whenever I hear that "DJ" stuff...

To me, it's like

"Allons enfants de la patrie
Le jour de gloire est arrivé
Red bull gives you wings!
Contre-nous de la tyrannie"
