Can't sell me French
Well, to start, you are not going to be able to go on a popular radio station and tell them play Alizée. They won't do it. Sorry.
But college radio stations will! And college students are good to start. They like it then.....everything falls into place. Because then her fan basis in America among young adults will increase. Which is good. So that is my idea. Also her singing English songs on demo CD's. You could ask a local store to give them out for free with every purchase or something. Then she will be known for her English songs and stuff...I don't know. You get me right? |

i like this better.
the only problem i can see is.. well, only one actually. and that's getting the stores to give em out, and i suppose getting people to take them too. btw, we're not doing anything illegal are we? i mean, trying to promote a singer by making CDs of music that isn't ours and giving them out.. i know we're not taking any money for it, but still, just to be safe.

I think a loophole may be if we make cd's with samples of some of the better songs ----------------- if we were really dedicated we could just simply buy a lot of her cd's and give them away as gifts, or as I found on my D.C. trip, just leave the cd's in strategic places in an airport

why don't someone buy air time on a radio station for like 3 minutes and play a song?

and as far as foreign music in the states just look at Yelle, Rammstein, Korpiklaani... all of them can sell out venues in the states and can get radio airtime PS. and soon to be Melissa Mars Last edited by jung_adore_ALIZEE; 07-07-2009 at 08:54 PM.. |

If people can accept a bunch of drunks, sing about being drunk and getting drunk, in a language they can't understand, why can't they accept someone who speaks a well-known foreign language that is now nearing a similar sound to what's hip today?

If it has to be under 20 seconds, maybe something like this video I posted specifically for promoting her could work. It has several clips around 20 seconds in length. You could include attachments for links to individual 20 second links of songs to make it easier for them to pick and choose. It's fairly easy for anyone to make up a video like this and post it so they can include whatever songs they think would work best, Psych, MCE, Gour, whatever. Even though for the most part, where she has both an English and French version to a song, I prefer the French version, I started off this demo with all English songs because I thought they were the ones most likely to get played by U.S. station. I started off with Youpidoo because it has a catchy beat to it and whoever made this video, had several beautiful views of Alizée in just this short segment. If the music doesn't quite hook them, then the video surely will. |

Do you think this would work:
Directly emailing the radio station and send them a song in an attachment, that way they may download the attachment and listen (I was thinking 50/60 would be a good song choice). I also plan on telling them about our situation as far as getting her spread around. And if that doesn't work, I know one of the DJ's at the station and if the DJ's can play whatever they want then this just might work. This is no college radio station either, it's one of the main ones in my area (I guess). If it ends up happening I will see about getting my hands on a recording of the surrounding comments from the DJ. I don't know anything about how radio stations operate so if this sounds ridiculous, that doesn't surprise me.

If you send an attachment in an e-mail, make sure you are directing it to a person there that might do something with it. If it just ends up in a general mailbox it will likely be discarded. The same goes with regular mail. A contact person can be very important.

Ok I am not sure if this is illegal, but giving people little 20 second demo's aren't going to hook them. I think people in shops will give them out. And people taking them isn't going to be a problem. You don't even have to give them to shop you can just leave a box on a corner with the CD's. I am only worried about the legal issues we may encounter.
