Well I don't even know why this is up for debate, seriously I'm sure Alizée knows how to pronounce her own name ffs! I dont really care what you guys are hearing anymore.

Lili is NOT referring to herself as a bitch in that song by the way. Thats not what the lyrics mean.

I'm sorry but it sounded nothing like people (or Alizée herself) normally pronounce her name.

I can't really describe it in English how she pronounced in wrong so let's try it in my mother tongue..

in German we would pronounce it like "A-li-see". And if I listen to this to me it sounds like "A-li-sä". And here the 'i' sounds different than normally. I can't really describe how. I'm sure she knows how to pronounce her name. But "Brit-ney" has one syllable less than "A-li-zée". So she tries to put her name in a rhythm that is perfect for the name "Britney" but not for Alizée. The "i" in Alizée is slightly longer than the "i" in Britney and the "zée" is a softer last syllable. But in the song this soft ending sounds quite harsh.

That's just from azlyrics, which is user submitted. They don't exactly pay attention to punctuation. Where she says "Britney bitch" is from her song Gimme More and it should have a comma. In the original song she says "It's Britney, bitch." The song is about the paparazzi's obsession with her. She's addressing them. Scream and Shout is heavily edited, and they cut that part in the song because it's fairly iconic for Britney at this point.

She's not calling herself a bitch.

Pretty sure it's "Will.I.Am and Britney, bitch!"

Edit:
Beaten to it

I thought there would be a comma before bitch? Then it would be like talking to someone as in.... "hey bitch I'm here"

EDIT: forget it... I didn't press F5

My mistake, people who are putting the lyrics up on the net are not using proper punctuation. It does make a big difference if there is a comma or not after Britney.

Correct version of the line in the song.
Quote:
You are now-now rockin' with will.i.am and Britney, bitch
She needed to momentary pause due to the comma and she didn't so it sounds like Alizée bitch. If she had paused for just a moment then the proper meaning would have come across in the song. Will-I,am and Alizée, slight pause bitch.

She rushed it so it does sound like what I referred to earlier.
