Alizée's music is not the same as it was years ago, so it's reasonable for many people to lose interest, but it is important to note some things.

She started her career by being chosen to sing a song by Mylene Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat. For the next two albums she performed the music they wrote, wearing recycled costumes from Mylene Farmer's own career. This isn't a bad thing; all three involved are wonderfully talented.

After, she gets married, has a child, commissions a large tattoo, and releases two more albums that were created in a much different manner. This time she wasn't the performer, she was in the driver's seat. Everything that has happened in that time we know was [based on] her choice, and as such offers us a window into her personality.

If we agree that she still sings beautifully, then the difference between then and now is that her efforts are much more organic and personal. That is an exciting thing for an admirer of Alizée.
