Ah-lee-zay?
I was wondering: On the title page of alizee america it says her name is pronounced Ah-lee-zay. My problem is with the "zay". It seems to indicate to me that you voice should go up at the end which is not really the case, it stays flat: Alizée.
Don't you love my ability to generate nonsensical threads? |

actually it has a lot of sense . I think when it says Ah-lee-zay, it means that, when pronunciating her name, ends with an i, something like Alizei

dreamer, the last time this got brought up, it all ended rather badly. I'd rather we just refer back to the original thread: http://alizeeamerica.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2701

I read that other thread, part of it, about how to pronounce Lily, and someone made the point that you pronounce it the way you pronounce it. We're speaking English, so we'll pronounce it like we're speaking English. Believe me, I've worked for French-speakers, and they prounounce my name like they're speaking French (rolled R, vowels as if they were French, and no accented syllable--all wrong, but, I still understood it was me they were about to start bitching at). |

Besides, the purpose of the "Ah-lee-zay" on the main page is to give people a general sense of the correct pronunciation. It is hard for us to remember I think, but I know that I pronounced her name totally wrong before I heard her say it. I am sure it is not a 100% perfect pronunciation, but "Ah-lee-zay" is a pretty close generalization of it. I have actually considered changing it to "Uh-lee-zay" because that is the way I say in my head. |

Once one has been around here as long as most of us have, one will have heard her name spoken hundreds of times and will become aware of the correct pronunciation. Or they can simply just read this thread...
