When did you discover Alizee????

[heyamigo]

it's only been a few weeks for me, but it feels like every minute of those few weeks have been occupied by thoughts of alizee in one way or another. good thing i found this place and people i can relate to!

i was introduced to her on a fantasy baseball forum of all places. we had a topic in the off topic section discussing our favorite youtube videos. some guy posted the JEAM video and well, we all know what JEAM videos can do to a person. i suppose it was mostly sex appeal at first, but after a lot of reading and watching alizee stuff on the web, and realizing the many beautiful facets to her, i began to appreciate and love the more "humanized" alizee rather than the sexy JEAM alizee that i began with.

but seriously, in this short span i've known alizee, my life has changed quite a bit. during this recent time, i was in a very very tough struggle with some personal issues. i'm trying to get over a long time substance abuse and i've been very down. i know it sounds horribly corny, but i can seriously say that alizee provided me with the hope and strength to fight on and survive. she inspires me to stay positive; her music, her beauty, her undeniable genuineness, and that incredible heavenly smile is a cure for all problems. just thinking about those things help me deal with my pain and sorrow. but enough with the depressing talk. sorry, guys.

yea, so i'm seriously addicted to alizee. it's one addiction i'm fine with though. i'm sure it will plateau, but i'm at a point where if i am outside, i want to come back home so i can listen and watch alizee stuff. i wake up wanting to hear her music, and it's all that i can think about at the moment. it's great, it keeps my mind off stupid things.

at first, i was sort of disappointed that i found out about her so late and she's no longer the young girl she was back in her active days. but later i realized i didn't care about that and that i appreciate and cherish the memories that she left us with for now (and there's quite a bit, i can watch and listen over and over again). i mean her beauty transcends time; it's like the marilyn monroe effect (ok, a slight exaggeration ).

i have to say i'm really digging some of the lyrics to alizee songs. mind you, i don't listen to any foreign music so it's a new thing for me, but it's really fun seeing the translations of the music and interpretations and finding out it's not something you expected. and some of these lyrics are incredibly mature and very multi faceted. some are very shocking, i mean i had no idea such a happy sounding song like hey! amigo! is about a barcelona prostitute, but those lyrics and ones from a contre-courant blow me away. it makes me appreciate the songs even more on another level.

okay, this post is getting really long so i'll stop now. anyways, i'm glad i found this place, seems like this place is full of very dedicated, high quality fans!
