for me, it was just that.

the JEAM dance video served as a right hook, then followed rapidly by La Isla Bonita as the finishing uppercut.

yeah def the JEAM dance vid got me hooked but then i also likes the Moi...Lolita vid

JEAM was the video I saw first, linked off of the WoW dances video that Jalen posted above...but the one that really hooked me and turned me into a fan was this one:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ik5Nh94v7EQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ik5Nh94v7EQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I'm pretty sure I've watched it more than all the JEAM performances combined. Imagine how crushed I was when I delved deeper and discovered that a) it was a cover of a France Gall song, and b) that she'd never recorded it for an album, or indeed ever sang it again.

It's OK, though--soon after I discovered JPVA, and that made everything better.

Hmm...I see what you're driving at, but I think so yeah. I know I'm in the minority, but Decollage and the reorchestrated JPVA and Moi...Lolita really, really appeal to me...and she looks positively radiant performing Par Les Paupieres in concert. I agree that the effect would have been different, but I still think the end result would have been the same. Who can really say, though?

Interesting question there Tchaikovsky... I have to say, only a small select group of her Psychedelices performances would've turned me into a fan..

Probably the ones that have the best chances of doing that would be "Love is All", "Hung Up", and the MJ performance.

Whereas Gourmandises or MCE.. ALL OF 'EM!!

i must say i dont think any of them would have made a fan out of me... but then again i didnt discover her through music/vids... i discovered her because i saw this pic here in someones sig on another forum back in march of 04...

That was exactly the same thing that happened to me!
When I first saw the JEAM video I could say for certain that I was going to become a fan, now here I am

[Lucian_RO]

I was searching for something related to her on youtube not long before joining this forum, and listened to Hey Amigo and VVV. I had listened to all songs from Gourmandises and MCE a few months before and didn't like them so much the first time.

I am sometimes certain I won't like a song after I listen to it just once but this example show I can be wrong. That's why it's not easy to get others to like my favorite music. If they listen to a song and don't like it, I can't convince them to give it a second chance, which could make them change their opinion.

I wish people would constantly give some music a second chance to make a good impression on them...music takes time to grow...
