And as Ogre pointed out in another thread, the US puts out such a large volume of entertainment that we are less likely to import it.

If you read Alizée's interviews, including the more recent ones, you'll see she actually seems to like a lot about the US. She loves New York, she loves Disney and Tinkerbell, she loves US TV shows, she got married here, and she likes much of the music. She recently said the American market scares her and this may be the key factor as to why she won't come here as a performer. I think some of what she believes about the US market is mistaken, but it is her choice and I respect that. Breaking into the US market would be difficult, especially singing in French. I had hoped she would be the first in a very long time to do it, but that's just a silly dream of mine, I guess.

I just hope North America makes a respectable contribution to her CD sales, but that might also be hoping for too much.

Something that really stinks. Most of the population on this website couldn't wait for an American release so we all went and bought it on Amazon.com/fr and waited to get it from there. So unless we all will buy duplicates I don't think that CD sales will be up. I mean if she counted how many were SENT to America after buying I think that is a pretty high number.

Bah merge these 2 posts please.
