huh, Canada... Montreal or Toronto...

If we are talking about number of AAm members in a city, I think Toronto (/GTA) has more fans than any other city in America. It used to have 1 more fan back in the day .

To be honest I think we all can make it to Mexico . She'll have a concert for sure in this or early in the next year (that's a guess). Lots of fans and Alizée stuff. And Burritos .

well, New York could sorta work.. I have a friend who lives close by, so i can go under the false pretense of visiting him.

but seriously, the main problem would be when!

Ok I was thinking Alizée's upcoming album will have a spanish song right? Well wouldn't this be a good chance for her music to start playing in national radio stations? I mean spanish-speaking radio stations XD, since many of these radio stations play what is popular in Mexico,we could start requesting them for the new spanish song. It could be a start to get new fan support, and if it hits, we could start the serious promotion. I think places like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Chicago,Miami and NYC where spanish culture is really is it might work and hit. What are your ideas,comments and thoughts guys? XD

it's a new idea! but.. not sure how it'll work. i mean, the main problem that i can see is that most people aren't going to listen to foreign music, whether it be French or Spanish.

so if anything, id say we should try with the english songs!

I'm Not Twenty would be amazing! it's catchy, very pop music like, and most importantly, tis mah favorite song!

Well yeah wasabi, your probably right with better showing to the public her English songs; like Im not Twenty. But as other members have expressed those are like the Alizée classics, if we want to start the promotion we have to work with the new album. I am hoping this Spanish song is catchy and hits, and really hope there might be an English song too( which I doubt ) but yeah Im Not Twenty is an awsome song, love it and wish it could hit againXD

please dont anybody be offended in any way by my post, this is just my opinion. but i know somebody will get ticked off and will want to "correct" me


i love the english versions. i like Im Not Twenty more than JPVA. and im playing it right now. and i love the music part of em, and of course the vocals. but what seems a little funky to me is the words. they kinda make me wonder what mylene/the-writer-person was thinking when he/she wrote them. (i think she wrote them right?) im not asking for perfection, because obviously, english is not their first language and i can really relate to that. i know any french speaker would roll on the floor laughing at my french . i guess Lilly haters (dont get it either) exploit this about the words "making no sense," (<-- definitely not my words) and im not gonna lie, there was a smart kid on youtube that commented that you could fit "borderline retarded" into parts of the english version of Youpidou and still have it rhyme. that seemed rude and all of its synonyms, but slightly funny, i cant help but hear it when i listen to the song now. i think we should take into account what these people say, maybe it is better if we "promote" the french versions instead, cause potential fans might think shes "trying to hard" or something. we dont want to mislead anybody that she can and often does sing in english. she can. but she doesnt. but obviously if somebody dislikes her, its their loss and they're missing out on something wonderful.

try not to cut my head off please?

Jajaja dont worry Fall06, I get what you mean, ands its kinda true analyzing strictly the lyrics for Im not Twenty leaves us confussed in some stanzas, but its not her fault,is there someone to blame it should be the writers and the translators. Either way Alizée's voice is unique and perfect for this types of songs, just as she has sung La Isla Bonita, Hang up, and Love is All she sings very well in English.=) but dont worry man no one will cut off your head lol XD

[pepelepew]

Keep in mind that it is probably difficult to make english versions flow and rhyme in the same way the French version does. There probably isn't a clear translation from French to English in some instances. I won't cut your head off either. The lyrics in English are kind of silly. The songs like Isla Bonita written in English is really good though. Her accent is just enough to be cute.

ok, i was afraid somebody would take this personally. i agree, the only thing Alizée had input on in her first two albums was (more or less) the vocals. she didnt write the lyrics, she just sings them and turns them into magic . the covers she did are great, after i heard her live cover of 99 Luftballons (99 Red balloons) i went back and listened to the original and it just wasnt the same. it seemed... stale so to speak lol and it was among my favorite songs too. I love the La Isla Bonita one. I LOVE it. the main reason im buying the Mexican edition of Psych. The one she did on tv was great but i prefer the studio one

thanks pepe lol. agreed again. i love her accent. its so adorable. its not everyday i call something adorable. i would prefer it if she kept her accent rather than working on it and correcting it
