Promoting Alizee / AAm

This young lady who was just the right age for what MF had in mind, would need little coaching.

Then you look at her character. At the moment the other young girl won the second competition, Alizee smiled at what must've been a very disappointing moment for her, then she congratulated the winner. It showed a lot of class.
I wonder too if Alizee's shorter hair might have played a role in her being picked by MF? Did it make her look younger, fitting into the Lolita role?

When Alizee started working with Mylene, there was nothing spectacular about her looks. There was nothing spectacular about her singing voice. Alizee was "cute", but she had some characteristics that showed promise. She had a spectacular smile. She was fearless performing. She had a great personality and a sound mind. Being in her mid teens at that point, she wasn't a whiny teenager who cops an attitude - she was probably very teachable.

How did Mylene know Alizee would go from "cute" to gorgeous in just a few years? There is no way she knew. Alizee would have been a hard sell if she did not blossom into the beauty that she did.




Then the swan begins to take shape.





I think MCE was written with a stage show in mind, knowing at that point Alizee was going to start touring. It was like living a dream for Alizee, but also Mylene. I think it far exceeded Mylene's expectations.

I think Alizee's first performance was spot on. Her voice was excellent as was her stage performance. Her choice of song couldn't have been better for her voice. She was attractive, but certainly not a sex-goddess. Really, the girl next door. Her choice of dress was curious, but appropriate to her age.

I agree with you, however, in that I would not have foreseen her becoming the success or the beauty she did. We owe Mylene a great debt for what she contributed to what Alizee brought to the table.

Alizee's emotional maturity was probably a huge selling point from Mylene's standpoint. Whatever strengths or weaknesses Alizee might have as a performer, Alizee's emotional maturity meant that Alizee would be able to handle pressure and would be easy to work with.

I wonder if Mylene could sense Alizee's emotional maturity from just watching the TV show, or if Mylene had no idea until she actually met Alizee in person.
