Well at first taking a quick glance, according to the Czech data base, Alizee made two appearances on Graines de Star. The first was on 2/25/2000 and the other on 4/14/2000.

EDIT:
Going into further detail about the dates, quoting the Czech data base..."2000-04-14 She appears again on "Graines de Star", performing once again "Ma Priere" and this time Alizée also sings "Oh Happy Days" alongside three others; Marie and Sydney aged 13 and Claire 16. Claire won, whilst ?Alizée 15 at the time came second. There is some doubt about the exact dates of "Graines de Star" performances by Alizée due to schedule changes on the show. Some videos show Alizée performances as dated in 1999, however Homer feels the above dates are correct. ".

You have to consider too that unless this show was aired live, which I doubt, the filming date, may have been presented as the airing date or vice versa. Could they have been recorded in 1999, then aired in 2000?

So if these dates are right, she made her last appearance on Graines de Stars on 14th of April and Moi Lolita was first played on the radio on May 17th. That's a quick turn around and of course the album came in November.

EDIT:

It looks like Alizee made 4 appearances on Graines de Stars.
The first 2 were auditions, the first being in Corsica, the second in Paris. The one in Corsica has to be the one where she said a friend entered in the competition as a singer instead of what she wanted to do, dancing.

Here is what the Alizee Bible has to say....
"4 2000: Alizée auditions for “Graines de star”. First in Corsica (in the césar palace) and then in Paris interpreting the song “waiting for tonight”. Although for several reasons the precise date of this is not clear for example it appears in some videos that it is actually 19th December 1999. Whilst when Graines de Star was broadcasted, a fragment of the video appears with the label: Audition January 2000.
5 25th February 2000: Alizée on “Graines de Star” performs “Ma Prière” which was originally sung by Axelle Red. In which Alizée comes first (source Nidalizée) However another source states it is the 26th of January (gourmand'alizée).
6 14th April 2000: She returns again on “Graines de Star”, performing once again “Ma Prière” and this time Alizée also sings “Oh Happy Days” alongside three others; Marie and Sydney aged 13 and Claire 16. Claire won, whilst Alizée 15 at the time came second. (source Nidalizée). Claimed on another site it was 27th of February (gourmand'alizée). There is some doubt about the exact dates of “Graines De Star” performances by Alizée due to schedule changes on the show. Some videos show Alizée performances as dated in 1999, however Homer feels the above dates are correct.
7 Spring 2000: L. Boutonnant and P. Soloman do the photo "


We also heard there was supposed to be another appearance on Graines de Stars, but Mylene Farmer, while channel surfing one night, discovered her and by the time that next show was due to be filmed, Alizee was under contract with MF.
