Offensive? Maybe, maybe not.
But I think most people would admit that the early Alizee was, if not "offensive", definitely "provocative".

Off course she was provocative and intentionally so.
And we all know what the conotation of 'Lolita' is.
However thats getting away from the point?
Which is that she is a pop singer, who realeased inoffensive pop music that 8 year olds could (and did) sing along to.
I for one don't want her musical style to change.

No. This was the original French: "Il a dit qu'il était pas du tout au courant pour Novembre, sinon il le serait, mais qu'après c'est pas lui qui s'en occupé, mais bon"

I would translate that as: "He said that he was not at all in the know for November, if it would be then or not, but after all he was not involved in that, but it was all good." (Note that the word "serait" is a form of "être" not "savoir," so he was NOT saying "if not I would have known.")

Of course this doesn't look like a direct quote, so I don't see a way for us to know exactly what he did say word for word.

That's possible and if he was just blowing smoke it would explain the weirdness.

Btw, he also said that Alizée was at a photo shoot the other day. So they're working. Things will come... when they come. :shrug:
Oh, I have no doubt of that! The changes to the official web page and the teaser video were all the proof I needed . . . anyway I had sensed something in the air already, which is part of the reason I'm posting more these days.

It just seemed weird that Jérémy would assert his own complete ignorance that way about the scheduled release. Re who has control over it, that's not the question; even if the record company can call the shots, surely they would tell the artist -- and wouldn't Alizée tell Jérémy? Strange. Unless, as you say, he was just dodging the question, which actually may be the most likely explanation.

Well, I'm afraid it looks like you're going to be disappointed.

Don't know, I translate "sinon il le serait" as "otherwise he would be". Guess we'll have to wait for a native speaker to confirm, though yeah as you said it's not a direct quote. But I do think it fits with what I've said before about his role being in the studio and not business. Though yes, it would make sense to know if your wife was releasing an important single in less than a month! Personally, I never put much stock in the "November" news, it seemed suspect.

Oh how I love the way we Alizee fans dissect/analyze and argue over every little crumb of news that gets tossed to us, all in an effort to pass time between actual news and or music.

And oh what a drought it has been.

The glorious sheen of giddy anticipation has dulled for me...quite a bit. She can only string us along so long. I need to hear her voice again! Hell I even fell for the effing fake 30 second teaser.

All I can say is, ...Stay thirsty my friends.

Again more speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if her label put many more controls on the promotion and every aspect of this new album after the last train wreck. They are putting up money so that would make perfect sense. Alizee herself may not know when. The label may not have all the details worked out either. Remember she will be promoting in Mexico as well as Europe and contracts for distribution and other details will need to be addressed depending on the marketing strategy. I just hope they have a coherent strategy this time. Just being an Alizee fan is character building. No pain no gain

Is Jung leaving clues? Or red herrings? Or pickled herrings? Or what?

Many people don't realize what you're talking about, either, j_a_a. Lately, I swear, this is the Orient Express Forum. Or the Maltese Falcon Forum. Or a Hitchcock forum. Or is this whole forum about to be hijacked by the M. "Night" Shyamalan Forum?

Speaking of which - lillytown.forumactif.net is no longer there tonight! Yikes? Hopefully it's just some brief maintenance. But has anyone else heard from them? Ben, Toc, BigDan, Lefty, or Anyone?
