I agree with you guys, I don't like all the fast cuts. That is the trend in video editing in recent years, but this was especially cut up. The closeups on her face are too close (I never thought I'd ever say that) and this type of editing almost makes dancing a waste of time since you never get to see her really complete a series of moves. The editing seemed amateur to me.

As far as Alizée is concerned, she did great. Yes, it was lip-synced, but I expected that in this kind of situation.

And thanks to Karin for the video.

I noticed that too. My theory is that they were trying to hide the lipsynching.

Though she does a great job at it, but maybe they didn't know she would. Or something like that.

I watched it a second and third time and I really think the editor has a serious eye fetish. Just the way it was put together someone was really making sure that they got as many close ups of her eyes. Not that I'm complaining I loved those nice close ups but it was definitely too close for the face shots.

Alizée knows how to lip sync so there is no reason they had to get that close or chop up the video that much to cover up absolutely nothing.

how can someone be so hot and cute I liked the performance, but i still wish she had some dancers. Jvb is such a fun song and it would be even more awesome with some dancers. I hope she will have some concerts sooner or later

This latest performance makes that video looks like it's got smooth transitions...to France 3's fast cuts... Even the british used less of them ...yet I used to hate the bbc for it

it is made on purpose to keep your attention. Pretty much all music videos and action movies are made like this. I was raging when they did that shit with La Isla Bonita video

I wouldn't mind the cuts if they were in sync with the music. But these were just...random. Plus the random effects, like suddenly changing to black and white then back. Having a glow around the edges of the screen for a second then take them away...


Honestly, there is a very good chance someone was just pushing buttons in editing.

i think the thing with Alizee is, that you don't want any of that nonsense and effects. Just focus the camera on her and let her charm do the rest
