From Paris with Love

[Alex]

=Mon Maquis;148740]No, Melissa does not have children. A lot of singers have children (Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears etc.) and even some have more then one, but they still find time to tour.

True Melissa Mars doesn't have any children, yet artists like Mon Maquis mentioned Gwen Stefani, and Britney Spears do, but let's see how crazy and contreversial has Bristney's personal and professional life been. At first yeah she was a HUUUGE sensation and "product" introduced into the American Music Market but after a few years after those moments her reputation has declined dramatically due to various scandals with her family, children custudy, and career. She hasn't been able to balance out and take well care off her career and family at the same time.

Being said this, I think Alizee has so far done well in balancing out her career with her family life with these long breaks she has taken. Going back to Melissa Mars well, she's young, talented, attractive, and with no personal responsibilities (children) to take care of, so she is a very high candidate for the French music industry to present her into the American market. She is well and cleverly involved in various markets (music, theater, and film) that little by little her name is being more well known. If she is sorrounded by capable professional visionary producers and managers I don't see why not in the near future she could be a foreign music star here in the states. Her music is interesting with styles like rock, some gothic, pop, and many others that can be target to American listeners.

I agree with Mon Maquis, I believe he was referring to them having children and still being able to tour (but my position about this has been stated above )

Well. I think you are right about an uphill battle for recognition; but I think this would occur if they toured together. If they are seperate it will occur too. Plus they have, in my opinion, very different styles of music.

Concerning your "breaking the ice for french...": I hope Melissa does not get bigger in the U.S. because then Alizee will come in second. And is THAT any better than our situation now? (situation being she is barely recognized now and Melissa would hog the "spotlight.")

I believe Alizee should follow Melissa Mars ambition and interest in entering the American market if she wishes. Touring together......could be interesting, but there has to be alot of support from both parts and keep in mind that at the end most likely only one would remain a big artist in the US, and like Black Anthem mentioned their music styles vary tremendously..but who knows...

Anyways..... I can't wait for February to see her appearance in the film

I hope that MM and Yelle have a lot of success in the USA. I think it's not only for their benefit, but also the benefit of Americans. We need to open up to the world more.

I am happy that Alizée seems to maintain a good balance between career and family life, but I don't accept the notion that this explains why she isn't more active in the music business. I simply think Alizée works as hard as she wants to. If Alizée is avoiding the US market because she simply doesn't want more stuff on her plate, then that's fine. It's her choice. But if she is avoiding it out of fear or any unwarranted concerns, then I think that's unfortunate. I had hoped that she would be the first to break through the barrier, but it hasn't worked out that way.

Why is it such a big deal to get Alizée in America in the first place? Maybe she doesn't wanna get her ass over here. She's not really doing much, except sitting around, posting on her Twitter every now and then, and occasionally saying something about her ~new album. And don't give me an update on her day to day agenda; I didn't ask for that.

I'm not really a huge Melissa Mars fan, but shit! At least she is doing something with her time and talent.

WHY IS IT SUCH A HUGE DEAL?

I mean, if you wanna see her in concert, fly your ass to where she's at. She's not gonna do swimmingly in America in the first place. The only reason Yelle has done pretty well (IN MY OPINION) is because of her genre. She falls into a totally different category. Plus, the internet loves her. Maybe Alizée could have an American following somewhat similar to the one behind Yelle if she got her ass up and did something and quit saying, "new album, new album" and not delivering.

AND DON'T GIVE ME A DATE FOR THE ALBUM BECAUSE IDGAF
AND DON'T SAY TL;DR, because I will know you're lying.

Edit:

And they're not gonna tour together, so hang that one up

I want to be clear, I was saying that other singers have children and not that Alizee should follow Britney.

Not like I was sayin that Alizee "Kissed da baby"...

Definitely Alizee should come to America. I don't think she should do it after MM. I think that would be bad for her. I think people would say, "Oh look, Alizee saw how successful MM was and now she want's it, too" That would be be bad for her reputation. I think we should have gotten her here earlier. Do see my point?
