Alizee's "x-factor" might be as simple as the right place at the right time.
I tried listening to S.E.X.T.O. without watching the video at the same time, and I found it to be more enjoyable, and it really is a good song, except a little repetitive toward the end. In the video, the whole sexual tension squirming around and hair blowing in the wind in slow motion thing is predictable and overused. Wow, am I ever showing my age here!
Certainly MF fans will support Julia, and that alone would make her successful, but can she expand out of that circle?
