I have a weird little story then: I have some intermediate level of French and one day I was practising by reading a French discussion about someone forced to apologise for breaking the rules (the exact details not so important anyway). One commenter mused that in France people would not accept responsibility in the same way, it reminded him of the line 'C'est pas ma faute à moi !' with a link to the Moi... Lolita video. I watched that and was instantly hooked by her beauty.

What stands out to me just thinking about this is that music does not play such a huge role in my life - normally I do not try to find so much about a new singer and discover everything about them, much less would I be motivated to join dedicated forum. For Alizée, since my discovery (only a couple of months ago) I've searched for every nugget of information related to her. Proof, if it were needed, that she is special.

For me music has been a big part of my life, a very big part for that matter. Sports also has been a very big part of my life. I've been blessed to live in a city that has many championships in different sports, but for most teams here, I suffered through the lean years before being blessed by the good years.

When there's not much of a positive nature going on in your life, things like music and sports can play such an important role.

Still as much as certain singers, certain songs and certain teams meant to me, I never sought out an autograph, never really looked into someone's background until this little French girl came along. She was a little French girl that blossomed into an incredibly beautiful woman.

I think one of the reasons we follow her so much is the more we learn about her, the more we like her, the more we learn how unique and how special she is. There's only one facet of her life that bothered me, but the more you learn about her, the more you understand why that happened and learn to accept it and that thing is overwhelmed by all the other things that make her special.
