I think shoegaze or post rock would fit her.

You opened a can of worms with this question!
I'm sure there will be a variety of opinions.
I had to look up "shoegaze" because I had no idea what this genre was. Now it makes sense why they call it shoegaze, because the performers just stand there and look at the floor. I think I would miss seeing her eyes...
Scruffy had mentioned K.O. and Alcaline, and those were pretty good songs. I thought the song Charles est Stone was the best on the album personally. It would fit into the Dance Music genre, I believe. I think Alizee is still hip enough to pull off a Dance Music/Technopop album and do well.
Her music needs to be more beat-forward. She doesn't have a powerful enough voice to have her vocals to be front and center and everything else in the background. I would like to see an album with songs with a strong beat.
Good example: I spent this last weekend in Vegas. I like blackjack and don't like the stuffiness of the big casinos, so I venture downtown to play in the smaller ones. They have music piped in, mainly pop and dance. It was a fun atmosphere. The song Bad Romance by Lady Gaga starts playing, and all of a sudden the place comes alive. People started moving. We had a very beautiful card dealer, and she starts dancing and singing along. A number of women just started dancing right where they were. If you listen to the song, it is hard not to get caught up in it. Lady Gaga songs command attention.
I would love for her to have an album with songs that make people notice that they are on and say "turn it up!" I think an album like this would have been better 10 years ago, but she still has time.
