I prefer to listen to the French versions as well. I do listen though to the English versions when they come along in the rotation. I think the reason I prefer the French versions is because the lyrics don't seem to be well-written. Some lines I can't even understand the words. But I do like hearing Alizée sing in English, and I imagine how she would sound if she gave an interview in English someday.

Which version? From the Psychedelices CD or the TV appearance?

I've often thought over the years that when she covers another artist's song that she does a great job. LIB, Ella, Elle la, La vie par procuration as some examples.
