Memory Lane

[Scruffydog777]

A partial list Alizée's concert schedule frorm 2003. The En Concert tour consisted of 42 shows. She wasn't able to perform a full show in Le Havre.

From AF archives; " At the concert in Le Havre yesterday evening, some unexpected things happened. It all started with an 30 minutes coming late on stage. The reason for that was that Alizée had something like an influenza. That's why she was a bit weak. The pauses where she changed her outfits were much longer than in any other concert before (she only changed outfits 2 times) and she didn't even sing Tempête, J'ai pas vingt ans and Youpidou. When she said to the audience that she was ill and that she could not do the whole show she started crying. Her crew on stage came to console her.
From this article;

"Alizée is not yet 16 when Moi ... Lolita is born. From her meeting with Mylene Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat born Gourmandises. Two years, four million records sold and rewards later. Alizée goes on tour with her latest single, J'ai pas vingt ans, and her second album, Mes Courants électriques."

I just stumbled across this today. I haven't seen this video before, and WOW! You are not kidding about it being a great fit for her. Beautiful solo, beautiful harmony. She could totally pull off country, but would need some "twang" lessons!

It appears that Alizee has a pin in her tongue in this video. Also, the studio is full of beautiful French women.

Oh yes, definitely a pin. I hadn't seen this video. Alizee is never short of hair styles, and yet again she is stunning.

You are right - a room full of beautiful women.

Here is something for you guys who are fond of memory lane things.
I suggest everyone watch it on youtube fullscreen and click there a button to see it in HD quality, and also click at the subtitles button because there are English subs you can see on the video.



By the way, here is the text of the subs:
Does anyone know how to make a subtitle file from this text?
Or somebody already has a subtitle file of this text?

00:02
- If we talk about Michel Berger, we have to talk about France Gall which is what Alizée proposed to do.
00:06
A - Yes.
00:07
- By the way, you've once been in a TV show with France Gall haven't you?
00:11
A - Well, the very first time I met France Gall it was in her home in Saint Tropez three years ago,
00:16
It was quite a special moment for me and...
00:19
- For what purpose?
00:20
A - Actually it's because I was in a TV Show in St Tropez, we had a common friend there who wanted to make me a surprise by introducing me to France Gall.
00:27
I had just released my 4th album at that time, and it was an occasion to let her listen to it and discuss it.
00:32
A great moment for me because I have always admired France Gall.
00:34
- So she gave you a few advices?
00:37
A - Mm, let's see, first of all, about my voice, because even though that I've been singing for more than 13 years I don't feel it was that long.
00:43
But for example she told me that when she sang Michel Berger's songs she was always too high pitched...
00:52
So she told me to be really careful about that...
00:55
- So now you're carefully choosing your pitch, right?
00:57
A - I'm trying, yes.
00:58
- Did she tell you to 'resist' as well?
01:01
- 'Résiste' performed by Alizée!
02:33
- Thank you Alizée!
02:35
Alizée, who's releasing a fifth album entitled '5' ... a very good number.
02:40
A - That's what people say!
02:42
- So it's an album that really takes its inspiration in the 1960's, with France Gall ...
02:46
A - Yes, inspired by the early years of France Gall and her hits 'Poupée de Cire', 'Laisse Tomber Les Filles'.
02:53
But not only France Gall, Francoise Hardy as well... but I really wanted to make a modern album of pop music at the same time.
03:06
- Alizée, you chose to sing for us the song Ella Elle L'a, as a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald. A song that was written by Michel Berger.
03:13
A - Yes a wonderful song, that I sang not so long ago... well in 2003 on a tv show with you.
03:20
- Absolutely! We're listening to you.

Well New Year's eve is the perfect time to repost this video of Alizée's performance on New Year's eve in 2003.

[Scruffydog777]

In messaging, the subject of Stars a Domicile came up, A show where stars surprise their fans, then go to the fans home. Alizée appeared on the show twice; once in 2001 and once in 2003. We had recently discussed this, but because the video link wasn't good any more, I decided to post it anew. This video is from the 2003 show, is one kulli found. It is from Daily Motion and it is the full version lasting about 24 minutes. I don't believe the full video is available on Youtube any more. I'm uploading a version of the 2003 show with English subtitles to my Google drive.

Here is the link to the full video http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2bxbk9

Google drive link to subtitled video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_YY...ew?usp=sharing.

Here are the two letters Jessica wrote. One was about the day Alizee surprised her and when they went to the studio to do the on stage segment of the show. The second letter is of when she went to one of Alizee's concerts, then back stage to meet her afterwards. I saved these letters as jpegs. Doing it this way, if you click on the attached images at the bottom, at various zoom levels, the print will appear clearer than others, so if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, just zoom in or out until the print appears clear. It is better to just click on the Google drive link I provided to view them all and I believe they will show up more clearly.

Interesting stuff!

I wonder why her website went offline.

People change, but imo she still loves Lili and it still is the best moment in her life. How awesome would it be if she saw this thread and replied?

It would be very interesting to see what Alizee's No1 fan thinks now.

[Scruffydog777]

I guess they became frie nds after that. There is a video of her and some others getting together with Alizee when her Psych album was being released.
