I have watched these before a while back, but I watched them again because I always pick out something new in interviews the second time around (and third and fourth, etc.)

I have known before that Mylene is referred to as Alizee's "godmother", but seeing it again in this video made me think about this a little bit. I grew up in the Orthodox church, and they, along with Catholics, have godfathers and godmothers, and they are usually part of the baptism ceremony. Mine were relatives, but not sure what the Catholic "rules" are regarding who can be godparents or not. I would assume that Alizee, being Catholic, would have a godmother who was also Catholic, but I think that Mylene is Jewish. Being named as the godmother would also imply that Mylene was close to Alizee's parents, if it occurred at the baptism ceremony.

Maybe referring to Mylene as her godmother is nothing more than a term of endearment and has no ties to the church.

Thoughts anyone?
