An artist has to follow his or her heart. That's a more important consideration than fame or popularity. Calls for Alizée to go back to singing the old material, or to reunite with Mylène and Laurent, are calls for her to do what her heart says no to. That she might be more of a commercial success if she did is in fact questionable (because it's doubtful she could do it well if her heart wasn't in it), but in any case it's irrelevant. She is doing what she wants to do, going where her muse leads, and if that means not as many people will get it, and she won't be the huge success she was in the past, but must be content with a lower level of fame, she seems OK with that, and that means I am, too. EDIT: I was once asked by a friend in Paris what I, as a fan, wanted from Alizée. I said that I thought the next album needed to be more focused than Psychédélices with a unified style instead of a melange. I also said I wanted her to be happy and as successful as she wants to be. That's still what I want.

She did not create the early songs, MF and LB did. The songs and performances were created for a specific girl of her age and sexual identity, she did not create the lolita image. She was a girl then which was a long time ago, but she is a woman now. She would be showing weakness as an artist and degrading herself by succumbing to people who have not moved on and also do not respect her for who she is now. It's like a bunch of spoiled brats in here at a toy store, "I want this, I want that, I want I want I want...please please." How about "what does Alizée want?" |

Difference is that young ones have to rely on older ones to fulfill their desires. Older ones know that they have to fulfill those desires on their own. That's why young ones don't think about the fact whether those demands are appropriate or not. Older ones have better understanding of the situation, so they think about it. So, don't get mad after seeing this so called toy store kinda situation here. I agree with you that everyone should think what Alizée wants, but that shouldn't be stopping people from expressing what they want. After all those are the one who are blessed with her services. |

I thought of something. There was a game developer I read about in GameInformer. He was asked whether he thought video games were art. He responded no. Art is something that is created from an artists' perspective. It is one way, and one way only. The artist creates what they feel, and paint, sculpt, record it how they feel. Pictures, paitings, tv, movies, books, and, most relevant to this site, music, are art. The observer looks at it from the perspective the artist intends; it is not interactive, so it appeals most to those who share similar perspectives to the artist. We are not meant to influence Alizée's art, as it IS art. But with video games, they are interactive, and are meant to be seen from the observer's perspective. I hope this analogy helps. If you truely appreciate Alizée's art, you will not mind having no direct interaction. Having her do it her way, and not trying to convince her to redo an old piece of art. I said earlier I would like to see electro-JEAM, I hope nobody took that wrong.

OK PEOPLE!!! This thread was not created based on the JEAM dance or how bad some selfish people want to see her in that suit again!
This thread was created for people's opinion on if she would SING JEAM again... So please don't go around saying how immature, selfish, and greedy people are. I don't want another thread closed because of a fight. Respect other people's posts and post your ideas... Thanks

Well, whe you say will she JEAM again, you are usng JEAM as a verb. Here is JEAM's entry in my mind's dictionary: [JEAM: (v. Pro: jeme) 1. To perform the dance associated with the Alizée song titled J'en Ai Marre ! 2. To dance along with Alizée, while she is doing said dance.] Maybe you should have asked 'Will She SING JEAM Again?' I thought you meant the dance. But as I said, electro-JEAM=epic aweomeness!

I agree totally! I still listen to her first 2 CDs a lot, not so much to her new stuff. What can I say..Mylène & Laurent know their stuff and are among the best in the business. Lets face it, Alizée's new team isn't even in the same league as her old team. But she's doing what she wants to do and if that makes her happy and a good living then so be it. No doubt..she didn't give them what they wanted or expected so I'm sure (I know) that most of them were very disappointed. If you were expecting the Jewel of the Nile and received a common stone from the gravel pit instead, wouldn't you be disappointed? I hate to say it but that's how I feel. Sorry. |

If they were normal songs not based on the young girl lolita connotation then she might be more open to performing them again. I don't think I'm wrong when I say she wants to be appreciated for what she is now rather than what she was then. |
