"Open Letter to Alizée" Project!

[Chuck]

Eureka! An Idea Of A Bunch Of Ideas!

Guys & Gals,

On the Lillytown forum, on the discussions about the new album, some of the fans are nervous. Some of what they're saying was very surprising to me! Probably to some of you, too.

They're concerned for their girl, and her future career!

After her years of privacy, Alizée's comeback album "Psychedélices" was not considered a big success. In fact, they called it a commercial semi-failure.

And they're grateful for "The Mexican Miracle"** (their expression) for having saved her from the "yesterday's pop-stars trash bin" (my expression). (¡Gracias a todos nuestros miembros y amigos mejicanos!)

But they don't know if a Mexican Miracle will happen again, or if it'd even be enough to keep Wisteria Song in business....

To get to the point - they're actually hoping that this new album will be the one to break through for her in the US and Canada. Get it? We all want the same thing!


And it could very well happen, if we just sit back and write fan letters all day.

OR WE COULD POOL OUR FAN-LETTER-WRITING PROWESSES TOGETHER!

We've all had ideas for promotions and inroads. Ways to help more of the ignorant to become enlightened by Lilly, until enough are enlightened and she'd be compelled to do a US tour and play in (your town name here).

I'm proposing we all put our best ideas together, translate 'em together, and send 'em all off together!








...well, nobody said anything, so I guess I'll start:

Dear Miss Alizée,

We all (blahblahblah) adore you (blahblahblah) and (AlizeeAmerica.com) (blahblahblah)...


We want to help you to conquer the US. To that end, here are our top suggestions on how to wow the populace and take your rightful place as queen of the world: (we can all edit this stuff later, too)


1) Be on Letterman. Or Ferguson, or even Kimmel, or O'Brian. Or Leno. Or all of 'em. --stinky53, Toad Suck Dam, AR

2) Go on The View. -- Pinky, Pocatello, ID


3) etc. etc. etc.


That could be the start, anyway. Just post your best ideas here, then we'll put 'em all together in a list. Within a week or so, I think we might really hit a few good ones. Then we'll convert it and post it. She couldn't help but to notice, somehow! Seriously.

And after some past marketing miscalculations (like Yoopidoo in english!), I don't see how our suggestions could be any worse. Maybe even better! Write your observations or opinions, your grandma's pork cake recipe, or whatever else you think might help soften up the squooshy minds of the American people.

Suggestions or further questions for our French counterparts will surely come up as well, I hope. We'll deal with that then.


Yes, this may sound like those groups of school kids that get to meet the president by writing a school letter. Well, yes. And they succeed--they get to meet the president! Hey this system works! But how many schools are there? A lot more that don't get to meet him, or attract anyone's notice, that's for sure. How many Alizée America forums are there? Just this one here that I'm writing at! Whaddya say?





**"The Mexican Miracle": After dismal initial sales, the disc and the star just suddenly caught on in Mexico, selling (? millions ?) of copies. I don't know how many, but it was a lot.

I'm sure there's some kind of telethon charity thing here in the states.... that would help immensely.

I really share your enthusiasm to start this project aswell as the other projects that have been mentioned. I would love to start posting my ideas in this new thread, but the thing is that I'm using my itouch and I can't really write all my suggestions and ideas, but tommorrow morning for sure I will

One question Chuck; if we got well organized and do this project, where would we send all these letters?? Does anybody know her adress or her manager's office??
Now that I recall this past b-day of Alizee, i saw in Alizee World.com that SONY had agreed to send a birthday package to her full of fan presents. Im sure if we get to talk with the president and reps of Alizee world they could talk to SONY BMG and could hopefully help us out

I thought the same thing at first, but I don't think he means us personally send it. I think he means we should help out our friends at Lillytown and they'll take care of it

how did the fan's get their present's in the package? I'd like to give her a playdough ashtray or pencil holder for her 26th lol

Well in what I read their presents had to fit inside the package SONY was going to sent out, it also had to weigh a certain weight.

My view in Alizée's career I see it that this next album will decide wether we see Alizée doing a 5th album or not All this due to critics and reviews from France that her last album was not that successfull in france or Europe. And as Chuck said thanx to that Mexican Miracle we see Alizée working harder on the launch of the upcoming album And I really think this is our chance to really show our support, the support of the American fan community.
For me some key points are:
-letting SONY BMG know we need their proffessional help to promte her.
-letting know Alizée once again that we exists and we're growing every week! ( sending letters, etc...)
-and finally promoting her ourselves when the album comes out or right before.

[Chuck]

Yes, guys, we can try to get a manager's address. We can send copies to jive/epic and sony/bmg and rca. We can do that. We probably will.

At the same time (if what Barrett said was true at all), maybe all we have to do is to ask Jung to ask his sister to pass it on.....?

Or post it on the French websites. Some of those folks actually do seem to (or claim to) know her. One guy has a blog she subscribes to.

The point is, "e-mail a des ailes". E-mail has wings.

We may have to send via 3 or 4 different routes before she'd get it. But we only really need for 1 to make it through, right?

That sounds like a good plan but it's nearly impossible to reach her or her managers

well, for one, she can start acknowledging us American fans! she does it a lot with her Mexican fans.

If i had to choose somebody for her to tour with, id say Madonna. it would be a win win situation cause it would be a dream come true for Alizée (most importantly), a dream come true for us to see her here , and a small plus for Madonna for the extra ticket sales. what do you guys think?

i feel mine is a rather weak/last option idea that we should think about and modify a little more to make it stronger . I posted this a while ago, some liked it some didnt. Put it up if you want Chuck. But reflecting on this now though, it would be nice to see a Madonna concert and all that, but im not really interested in her lol. Plus it would kinda suck to only see Alizée do a song or two and Madonna for the rest, but better than not seeing her here at all right? so like i said, lets think about it (my quote) more and change it up a bit *ahem savvy members*
