I think it's unfortunate that most of the shows that she appears on focus on her signature songs and I think those are not the ones that bring out the best of her "live" voice.

I would have liked to have heard PLP instead of MJ.
L'Alize instead of JAM
and Tempete instead fo ML.

I'm not crazy about that hairdo either.

PLP and Tempete would not fit in such show. It would sound much better in a separate dedicated solo performance.

Agreed. And I'll be uploading the performance to Vimeo.com which allows a direct 1080p download if any one is having trouble downloading the performance or cannot view it in the .ts format.

Can't wait to watch this!

I love the way she looks here!! It's like half and half Zée, the old Psych curls and the Isla Bonita pulled back kind of style I'm no hairdresser so excuse my poor description

I don't know when she started doing this, but quite often during a song she'll add an upward inflection (the best way I can describe it) on the last word of a verse and it just doesn't sound good. That's my only critique, not even a big deal, just throwing it out there.

At least since the Psychedelices tour in 2008 it seems to be used in greater extent. Sounds good in happy poppy songs like JEAM and less good in 'darker' songs like Moi Lolita.


Anyways you can hear how much better her voice works with the old songs compared to MJ. Nice dress and hair, similar to the one she had on the TV5 Monde show, one of my all time favourites.

Well I very much liked the way Alizée spoke at the end of this performance.. her singing was nice but I always look foward to those little talks she sometimes has at the end of a performance too.

She's just soooooooooo......... well you know what I mean.

I have to give Alizee credit, she's still as beautiful as ever. And these songs brought back the feeling of the old Alizee that I love.

First of all, she looked fantstic and sang very well. Also, the hairdo was a nice experiment (not a favorite, but still a nice change). In addition, I liked the eye shadow (again, a nice experiment). Finally, the intense eye contact with the boy came over very well, as did the brief turn and arm waving.

Now, on to the inflection. She did it so much, and occassionally so intenslely, in 2008 that it drove me nuts in the Mexican videos of her performances - so much so that I can't even watch a couple of them. She HAS to train herself out of doing those inflections - EVER! She is an emotional person, and I 'm sure they are a by-product of her emotionality. However, they simply don't work. I wonder if she did them back in Mylenes day and M trained her out of it at the time?

IF she likes to do them, she can feel free to do them all she wants when in the shower (except this could hinder her breaking the habit). But she should never do them again when performing.

This was Alizée at her best. I hope we see a lot more of her like this.
