Finally a voice of reason.

Yelle seems to be getting attention.

No kidding. And she's becoming rather popular with kids my age particularly; there have been five or six instances over the past few months where I've heard people talking about her and her music. Almost everyone who is in a French club/class at school has heard of Yelle, but almost no one has heard of Alizée (no use being sad about it, it's to be expected considering the latter's lack of exposure/promotion/interest in the American market). But the popularity is well-deserved, her style is definitely unique and, if I may add, is really starting to grow on me .

[jung_adore_ALIZEE]

^glad to hear that she has some popularity in Texas too

Have you told any of these people that like Yelle about Alizée?

if not just let them know sometime

I would be very very amazed if anybody around me ever talked about Yelle or her music, or if I would ever hear it in public. Not here in Iowa. My two best friends hate the French, one hates them because of their military history, the other just hates them because the first one hates them...but if anyone ever speaks French in a game server he will tell them off very forcefully. But perhaps Yelle's and Alizee's futures are very bright for the US market. It seems to be the direction we're headed, and Yelle could change the entire view on foreign music in this country. (There could possibly be some other foreign artists that are similar and are breaking through, I just don't know about them)

Your friends make me angry. Military lackluster shouldn't be a reason to hate on a beautiful national identity that has shaped the American identity so much.
But for breaking music markets, I would love that indeed, I would love to see more Americans hear a lot more Finnish musics, amongst others!
Oh, and other artists growing a more popular American fanbase is this:

^well ND is basically the same but I do tend to blast both of them while driving my car

as far as other foreign bands the only one I can think of that is main stream in the US is Rammstien

there are others who have made appearances that I know of, but I can't think of any that have had major tours with as much success as Rammstien has you can even find there albums in many stores around here which says something

Yelle on the other hand is very unheard of around here and when I asked the guy at a local Music shop (the one that would be the only one that would possibly order anything) if he could get Alizée in he checked his suppliers and none of them even sold her stuff in the US so in short I have to either order online or get it from Barnes and Noble (as they can probably get it only at an insane price)
