If I watch this three times in a row, it's literally like I've taken a Valium. And as someone who is at times literally incapacitated by anxiety, I mean this in the most positive light imaginable!

You have one helluva taste !!

We'd better restrain RMJ before an accident happens.

It's pretty much the same thing with me. I didn't really understand the fan "thing", not to mention being one myself. Then it just came to me one day, and I had to admit it. Been glad it happened ever since

ahh well to say myself joining a fan site was the last thing i'd do that is until i met Alizée or well watched JEAM, all those months ago. and that was a beautiful story, sorry that happened but you see and feel the power of Lili.

But here's the irony. I can hardly bear to watch the J'en Ai Marre dance videos anymore, because I don't want to believe her critics. But that's the hook that brings so many of us in. There is absolutely no way I'd have learned about Alizee without that Top 100 mention of J'en Ai Marre on Google Video. Good thing my timing was right.

I"m really interested to find out WHY you can't watch the J'en Ai Marre dance video's anymore? "Because i don't want to believe her critics"? What was the criticism? Maybe i'm just slow.....

Your enlightenment would be appreciated.

Alizée is the best thing I've found to calm me after the shit starts to fall. And at the same time, she can make me happy and excited about life. She was a true treasure for all of us to find.

Ed, I believe the words he used were "over-manufactured French pop tart." Alizée used to do a very suggestive dance to JEAM in skimpy clothing. A puritan would react to that in a negative way, hence the "pop tart" thing.

I think that's probably what he meant.
