[2010-01-05] Alizée in TECHNIKART Magazine

[wasabi622]

Um.. I don't think he ment that Alizée is "living the trashy lifestyle"...

If anything, it was just insight as to why Alizée left Mylene, and that unlike that time, she's in better control of things.

But that's what I took your post as, don't let me speak for you Ben.


Edit: Never mind! You cleared things up as I posted.

Yes, "aware of what she's doing" in regard to leaving Mylene and changing her image, not posing as Madonna. And yeah she never crossed the trashy line with Mylene either, but as she said some wanted to pass her off as a "naughty girl", so I think the quote shows some insight into her current thinking.

Yea in that case; I really do not want to see her go back to Mylene days. After her being married and having Annily and all, it just wouldnt feel right to watch

Yes I think you are right. It is her way of not selling out. I respect her for that. I think in the long run Alizee will be able to have opportunities in other genre's of music because she didn't get pigeon holed as a wild child. Taking her way beyond the current pop scene when she gets to the age of Madonna. Madonna is stuck at 50 trying to be a teenage sexpot and as Alizee so eloquently stated: disingenuous or not believeable or something along those lines. I forgot the exact quote.

Yeah I mean none of this is really new, but just seeing her actually say "maybe it's holding back my image for now" shows a lot of awareness. It acknowledges there's a point to some recent criticism, but that this is the path she has to take.

One must have to be able to be a succesfull pop artist without selling it with a sexy image. It's truly admirable that she's standing up aginst the sexualistation that's characterizing the pop music industry, id est MTV. The JEAM suit and up-skirt dancing have already hurt her image in the sense that "people" don't take her serious as a singer and just see her as some sexy french girl, who probably only lip-syncs.

I'm very impressed with the article and the photos.
Alizée appears as a mature and thoughtful person, a far cry from the simple sweet teenager the public still associates with her.

The opener about her character (although not really news for us) put a huge smile on my face; such praise from a journalist may impress people who are already sick of the trash on the music channels, and may generate interest in her.
Ofc it's only one article and should not be overestimated, but every little bit helps.

As for the pics, Alizée reminds the public that she is still incredibly sexy if she chooses to be so, but in a classy and stylish way.
I don't think that she will ever cross the line into slutty...there are enough sluts in pop music already, she can distinguish herself from the crowd this way, for all those who are willing to take notice.

We all wish she could go back to her young innocent days...but she can't. So she is showing her sexiness every once in a while, and does know when she is overdoing it. Well put Fenris.

Hmmm...wonder if this new direction will translate into some type of dance performance that brings back some of the appeal of her previous work. But, I'm looking waaay deep off of a couple photos. I guess I'm basically saying, "I wish."
