And however much I may like or not any particular choreography, I think the performances where she has a bunch of backup dancers are cool. I like when they make a big production out of it and put Alizée in the center, not that she hasn't also done some very simple and adorable performances even just sitting down (La Javanaise par exemple). Quote:
Supposedly, it is at concerts where musicians make their money, yet everyone who worked with Alizée is touring around and she's at home waiting for them to return. If she can't be a performing artist who will tour, what's left for her to do? I think the album is largely just an advertisement for concerts and concerts an opportunity to sell the album, but that's not how it has been for Alizée. Last time she released an album, remixes, music videos, special editions of singles, and did several tv shows... but no concert in France and sales were ok, but far from great. I think there should be more professional looking dance/music shows with elaborate choreography. I'm not really into ballet much, but big performances like in some movies or some dance shows are really cool. But again, only the best would survive in modern television I guess. At Les Enfoirés, they approach the type of thing I'm talking about, but while that show is a lot of fun, it's far from the awesomeness that a professional dance troupe could pull off. If Alizée was a part of such a thing, that would be the best. I thought her 2003 concerts were of that sort, especially since she was actually singing at the same time. She did 42 of those. Anyway... past is past. Perhaps everyone is distracted from supporting the best of the "classical arts" because everyone is becoming a content creator now, not to mention the whole worldwide "economic depression" thing. But, let's get real, if a beautiful and sexy woman like Alizée gets on stage and shakes her hips a bit to a nice beat while seeming to sound good singing a song... you can't go wrong. That's why Moi... Lolita is so simple and so obviously works. It's chemistry. You heard the crowd. They like it.

Personally, I feel that Alizee is not among the greatest singers of our times. She is, however, one of the greatest performers I have ever seen. Her singing, dancing skills, her persona, her awesomeness, her class make an irresistible combination. Remove any one thing and as Roman said, the whole chemistry is lost.

I think the reason there aren't any variety shows anymore is simply because they get bad ratings nowadays. Few people want to watch that kind of thing. Then add to that the high ratings of "reality" shows that are much cheaper to produce. Just look at what happened with Jay Leno's attempt to put his show in prime time - total failure.

But Yah I think there aren't any shows like that cause too many people are Fed Up with no-name people that become stars everyday. It is no longer rare to have some random kid become a superstar in hours and be singing for the President the next day....

But here's the thing too, before a few years ago, I never or hardly ever came online to places like this. If I wasn't here typing away, I'd probably be watching tv (or maybe working ). Though, I actually stopped watching tv when I moved here in 2002 (long before I found Alizée) because the overabundance of commercials is brain rotting. And, I found Alizée on YouTube; so... now I want her to be on tv a lot, something I really try to resist watching in general. What can you say?

Yeah those brain-rotting commercials will getcha everytime haha.
But yah this whole "Rose up from Poverty" singers is really getting old. Everyone seems to have a sad story now to make people feel bad for them and start to like them because they have been through things....everyone goes through bad things, just not as much as others...

Yah, you hear a good singer on the street and then he is a Youtube hit. It seems like everyone is popular now....too much popularity will mean we all eventually become unpopular again...

YouTube can be a wonderful thing, but there is a lot of junk to sift through. Even Alizée with all her exposure on the internet is having trouble promoting her new album. If a person has forgotten Alizée or is no longer interested in her or doesn't know who she is, they are not likely to go looking for her or to click on a link that will expose them to her newest work. But when you happen to see her on prime time TV singing her latest single, that creates a huge opportunity to win people over. Just think, most of the video performances of Alizée that we all cherish came from TV broadcasts. I doubt we would have ever seen the JEAM dance if all they relied on back then was YouTube. It sure would be nice if we still had TV shows like that and people were still willing to watch them.
