You know it! She's more than just Naive and Ma Priere as well; I find just about all of her songs to be incredible. My favourite thing about her is probably that all her songs can cheer you up without being sappy.

Zazie's cool, especially 'Excuse Moi', also Lorie if your a techno freak. Alizee's quite good too.

Anyway Glad you appreciate the vids Deepwaters

I thought it was "catchy" too.

Oh, and my French isn't good enough yet, but I can tell they definitely compared her to Alizée:

You guys like Priscilla ?? Now I'm convinced you guys like anything that's in French... I absolutely do not like her, and neither does Alizée !! She looks nothing like that anymore, and she's more into hip-hop... Further more this thread is in insult to our friend Espire, who took the time to create an official list of all french preformers (female).

Hey, it was one song...and we used the word "catchy". Well, I used the word "catchy", as did Martin. I didn't find any of her other songs catchy or appealing.

But as I noted in some of my posts long ago, without understanding all the words, we tend to focus on the tune and flow instead of the words and their meaning. Unencumbered by context, we will find something "catchy" that a native speaker will find distasteful based solely on an understanding of the words.

Don't worry Jess, I ain't going to go cruising down the road in my roadster with the stereo blasting away with a fourteen year old singing "Regarde Moi". I get plenty of "regarde" without any help from the music. Well, I don't...but the car does.

The only comparison between Priscilla and Alizée is that both are female, both are French, and both started singing when they were teenagers. (Which Priscilla still is.)

You know, this brings up what has become a kind of petty pet peeve for me. Alizée started a fashion of French female singers using only their first names, and for most of them it doesn't work! The only reason it worked for Alizée is because she has such an unusual first name, but there are a zillion Priscillas and Jenifers and Lories and so on. And the few who could do it, like Axelle Red, don't. It's a crotchet, I know, I'm being stupid here, but it kind of bothers me, and that's why I insist in my mind on calling that other fine Corsican singer Jenifer Bartoli, to distinguish her from Jennifer Lopez or Jennifer Anniston or Jennifer my ex-girlfriend.

OK, I'll shut up, I just wanted to get that off my chest.

LOL OGRE, so that's what you got that hot car for, it's a babe magnet. Can we say "midlife crisis"?

I will sheepishly admit that I can't rule that action out at the moment. I've been playing it all day. (The family is, shall we say, aghast.... )

I think he came clean with that a while back, saying it was "one of his two midlife crises", IIRC

Yep, but somewhere along the assembly line they must have swapped out the babe magnet with the rock magnet. I've attracted lots of rocks. No babes.

I also got the six speaker upgraded Monsoon sound system. What better place for Alizée than a monsoon.

Heh. Your wife will be glad to hear it. Actually, the rocks are probably safer. Although admittedly not as much fun.

I laughed so much at this. I just love this forum. Everyone here is certifiably nuts.

(I include myself in that, of course.)

I had a pet rock when I was a teen. It was a relationship I found hard to give up. When I finally walked away from what I felt was a one-sided relationship, the rock vowed revenge. Now wherever I go....they're watching. The ones around my house must be scouts, for all they do is observe in stoic silence. I've never seen 'em make a move, but they must move. Because some days they just appear out of no where. Then a few days later...gone. I have heard 'em rustle around a bit at night...making crunching sounds.

The nasty ones kamikaze me off the back of trucks. They've yet to break skin, but they can sting a bit. Eye protection is a must. Most have given up trying to take me out and settle for diving into the clearcoat on my car.

Et Roche, as they would say it in French. What Rock? Of course, some rocks are dyslexic, so they write it Roche Et, and some don't know French, so it becomes Rock et, or Rocket for short. Wait a minute....Rocket?! Oh crap, they've infiltrated the forum.
