Well, noting the "but" after the comma.
I must agree that it is the displeasing one.
How crude...

I don't think terrific is a proper translation. The word malísima (if my three years of studying spanish serve me correctly) is formed from mala, meaning bad, and ísima, used for emphasis (much like "very" in English). So yeah, not a complement, as you have correctly deduced. And that bit about the Eiffel tower is just crude and tasteless .

Nah, I don't think they're slamming her--it's FHM, so it's bound to be tongue-in-cheek. I think the intent is to say that her music is great, but that her figure and the way she moves would turn even the saintliest man's thoughts to sin...so in effect she's the anti-christ, capable of bending men to her whim with the merest shimmy of her hips.

They're just playing off the whole Lolita thing, is all. I think it just gets lost in the translation.

Well, I can't say I read any magazines other than those usual issues of Metal Hammer.
Interesting to see how people love to work their wordplay, for the untalented of heart it could've been quite a crude insult if they are not learned of the individual it is describing, or such the matter.

Ahahaha, you are right man, though spanish is my first language, your translation is better . I was going to write "very bad", but I thought terrific was the correct word. And that clause of the Eiffel tower, , you know what does it means. What a sh*t of comment really.

By the way, your spanish is good, congratulations

But the whole translation is correct, except for the terrific part. It was translated by me, so trust me .

See you tomorrow, by the way, Lilly was in place 88 last year.

And if they are talking about songs like JEAM or JPVA as horrible music, I think they just said that to be able to make the constrast about her ability to thrill guys with her sexiness. I don't think they could actually mean that as those are really great songs to listen to as well. It's one of those things where they just want to say something provocative to be more interesting. Still, to say that about her music is inexcusable. They suck! That's the kind of crap that's making Alizée want to go more "conservative" I think. She needs to just go ahead and give us everything she's got every time.

Yeah I didn't like her punk stage.
But the Lilimullet grew on me.
