My question is why did i start listening to Alizée and why can't i stop?
We all know she is beautiful and seemingly wonderful as a person, but i don't think that's all there is to it. Let's conentrate on the music.
Troughout my life i have listened to all these very diffrent bands that seemingly have no bounds to each other in anyway.
When i was little i listened to various techno bands and my favourite was The Prodigy, a "electronic punkband". Strangely at the same time i was into No Doubt, a popband. Later i started to listen more and more to metal bands and discovered Opeth and Katatonia.
Now what does all these band have in common, it's the melancholic sound.
Shortly after i discovered Alizée i found out about Mylene Farmer which music i love aswell. I have found many other french artist recently and it seems to me that french musicans are good at creating melancholic songs.
Maybe it's just me thinking to much again but im curious.
What do you guys listen to else than Alizée?
Is there maybe something else about Alizée that im missing?
Maybe it's just "love" that's messing with my "judgement"?
What do you guys think?

Tomtentp, I am also very analytical. It bothered me for a long time that I could not understand how Alizée affects me like no one else. I looked at my feelings and tried to break them down so I could comprehend the joy her voice and image bring to me. It is impossible, the feelings don't allow logical thought, they interfere. I have made my peace and just accepted. When I was in Mexico I saw the same effect in others; logical, "manly" men entranced by this tiny girl.
My suggestion to you, let this be a part of your life you don't have to understand. Just enjoy.
