Why would anyone bother making a website if they don't like Alizee in the first place whether they are French speaking or not.

Now if this is the case, I don’t know how she can avoid NOT looking at the fan sites from time to time. As a matter of fact, I would think a foreign language site might intrigue her even more.

hehe. Now I must find that interview you're talking about. I'd love to talk to Lili and here her tell about snooping around on our site. I wonder which members she knows by name. Well, she's probably too busy to do much of that. She didn't get where she is by spending a lot of time involved in what other people are doing, unlike us. But, I'll bet she knows some people who have the time to do a half-way decent review of such sites (1/4 way, maybe?).

I hope not. If she wants to sing some songs in English, they should be written in English from the beginning, not versions of songs originally written in French. Fifty-Sixty is a French song (except for the title and a couple of other words) and it should stay that way.

English songs would be great yes, but it seems like most of the fans english and abroad like the French versions better. As do I. But I don't mind listening to the English versions too.

The problem with English "versions" of French songs is that I end up comparing them. I don't think I'd have liked I'm Fed Up or I'm Not Twenty anyway, but Amelie and the English Youpidou aren't bad at all -- except when I compare them to Amelie m'a dit or the French Youpidou!

OTOH, Alizée singing La Isla Bonita is wonderful, so it's not the language itself.

Amelie is the one song in English that I like just as much as the French version.

But I must admit I think a big part of that is just because she has a heavier accent in that song and I think its adorable I love the way she says Shadow.

To be honest, if you get past the fact that one's "French" and look at what's actually being said, I think the English Youpidou blows the original out of the water. The two Amelie's are about equal, imo, and the remaining English versions are indeed quite inferior.
