^So, however, it seems pretty strong that Youtube has been at least a pretty big "key" to Alizée's global visibility since its opening...
Sure, it was probably immediately new and a success compared to that time, even though it was even weaker then than it is today. One can only think if the YT had already existed in 1995, for example, that is, before Alizée's career ... What would have happened then! On an even larger scale!

I'm looking for Alizée's first videos on YouTube...
I think it's pretty impossible to search Youtube, but it's easier with Google... I found one that was already released in January 2006, but some may find it inappropriate, so I won’t post it here. February 03, 2006 February 22, 2006 ^At least these can still be found there now, and were even downloaded in early 2006! By the way, e.g. this Alizeé video was uploaded to DailyMotion as early as February 1, 2005! (or so Google claims, DM reports it is +15 years old) [In fact, it hadn't even been opened at the time, but immediately in March 2005=]] [I did not know that this service has been around for so long]! https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xsiyz Conclusion: The record companies have certainly removed most of the releases released on YouTube in the early years,, back then it was still normal even on youtube, so it’s impossible to say how much Alizée material was available right from the start, but probably more than we can guess - at least immediately since 2006...!?

Great!
Alizée's videos have been available very quickly since the founding of Youtube... And then at that time, of course, there were (also) some other services - that no longer exist today. The first ones worldwide could have been at least as early as 2004 or early 2005, although these videos can no longer be found... Too bad Alizée's top career and the beginning of youtube didn't hit at exactly the same time...

This history is an interesting question. How did you find pictures of the forum from 2006?

I dug them out of there! The exciting thing is that basically the United States seems to have been in a slightly similar situation to Mexico in the early 2000s with Alizée... But Mexico did much better and Alizée’s visibility is much more collective there and throughout South America. I find it strange that the Alizée is not very well known in Canada, even though there are large French territories there. Even compare Italian and Spanish regions in the United States, whose music is also more popular there!

I had done some housekeeping a few months ago and got rid of several old cds/dvds that I had stored Alizee video files on, assuming I already had them on my computer, but I found another one today with 40 videos on it. Now it's interesting to look at the "Date modified" dates.
The majority were from the spring of 2005. I hadn't heard of Alizee until 2007.There was one with a date of April 2004 and one of July 2003. I'm quite sure I downloaded these from either Rapidshare or Megaupload. These were the most common links in the Czech data base. So is it kind of backs up the fact her popularity took off in 2005. It was taking off on file sharing sites at the time, but it was Youtube that brought it onto so many pc's. history rapidshare videos.jpg A few of those files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...Yx?usp=sharing |

From all this it can be deduced... Conclusion... The role of Youtube was clearly large from the beginning, even really big! After all, many (these days) can only become famous precisely through YT or similar social media channels!
Admittedly less often in French, but for our Alizée, even that is notoriously not a problem! It’s annoying, very annoying that Youtube came a little late compared to Alizée’s rise! Imagine the cult reputation Alizée already owns thanks to Youtube and J'en Ai Marre, among others! And in her early years, the golden age, she didn’t get any help from yotube, etc. I would venture to claim that "En Concert World Tour" etc or the like would have come true easily if youtube had already opened in 2000, for example... [The Internet, of course, only developed more in the 21st century and beyond, so perhaps Alizée should have been born a few years later! ] Let's even dream of that opportunity!

Games
The popularity of Alizée in Mexico was almost fully caused by YouTube, especially her La Isla Bonita cover.
And don't forget the popular games, especially World of Warcraft, which was released at the end of 2004, that let people all around the world to discover Alizée and watch her videos and listen to her music. This widened her audience, especially in the USA and Asia. World of Warcraft https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Dancing https://youtu.be/066_q4DIeqk?t=54 (starting at 0:55) https://www.alteredgamer.com/wow-art...-dance-emotes/ Where do World of Warcraft Dances Come From? Origins and Inspirations for all the WoW Dance Emotes Male Night Elves have perhaps the single coolest dance animation in all of World of Warcraft. I know people who have created NE characters simply to be able to bust out their fantastic dance moves. Their dance comes from Michael Jackson’s iconic “Billie Jean” video routine. Jackson’s reputation may have sullied a bit in recent years, but there’s no denying he was one of the greatest superstars of all time. Perhaps the most popular dance in all of Warcraft, the female Night Elf’s dance moves come from French recording artist Alizée. Specifically, the dance comes from a performance of her song “J’en ai marre.” League of Legends https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Ashe/Trivia Ashe's dance references J'en ai marre ! by Alizée.
