A person cannot choose their parents or what country or their socio-economic status they are born into. Julia is beautiful and has a great voice and obviously has the means to enjoy the finer things in life at a young age. Hey, if my father bought me a brand new Maserati to drive when I turned 16, I would not say no. My point is that the climate we live in today, her status is enough to turn away many people from her without even giving her a chance. Thirty years ago, it would have been a non-issue and maybe even an asset. It's not to say she should shun the finer things she is able to enjoy, but where is the down to earth side? What was missing in her own self-promotion is the pics of her in sweat pants and t-shirts. Without make up. Messy hair. Julia tries to look perfect and posed in her posted pics, and that is fine, but the price she is paid is that she appears unrelatable to most of her potential audience. Another observation about promotion. Alizee had tons of live appearances to promote her album and herself and people just ate it up. Julia had only one that I know of (SEXTO) and looked terrified and stiff on stage in front of an audience. Outside of a few more videos for new songs, live appearances seem to have stopped. I don't know if Mylene saw the writing on the wall early and just did enough to fulfill their contract obligations, but Julia was left to fend for herself. |

She was very privileged to be able to work with Mylène. That's as far as I'd go with using that term. As for her, I think there's been little to suggest if she was raised more or less privileged than say, Alizée for example. You make a good point about her never showing herself more 'naturally', always a little too flawless in her own portrayal, but that's just how she is it seems. I still wouldn't go as far as to call her 'privileged', but if she's giving off this sort of vibe to you, then I'd call it a matter of opinion and personal observation and I'll just leave it at that.
__________________________________________________ I literally don't know what was up with her lack of Live Appereances. I suppose there could've been plenty of factors adding to the ones you've mentioned. According to rumors 'Et Toi Mon Amour' was supposed to get a Live Performance on The Voice before the COVID-19 Lockdown hit. The months of literate silence (which is something that only works for Mylène because that's how she always worked), newly released Songs going cold in no time, suffering from next to no Media buzz and / or coverage, having to market herself and adding to that the long wait in general with almost zero communication... I could go on and on but what's the point. It was all a rather unfortunate situation for Julia that she had little actual control over. And yet, I find it unfair to say she didn't succeed because she didn't have what made Alizée succeed nearly two decades ago. It would be like asking what made Mylène succeed with such longevity across four decades whereas Alizée ran her career into the ground so quickly (I could write an essay on that!). Not everyone has what it takes to make it onto that next level. Although Alizée's early rise in popularity would probably still happen, at least to some degree, if it were to happen now. Compared to Julia, she'd still fare better. If that's what you were getting at, then I agree. Last edited by BroKenSkullDG; 07-27-2021 at 01:52 PM.. |

There was excitement and anticipation here when Julia became the "new Lolita" under Mylene. Right from the start there was confusion as to what was going on. SEXTO was the album teaser. It quickly got many views the first month or so. Then the Making of SEXTO video came out which was more interesting for Alizee fans because, of course, Alizee was in it. Then there was silence... for months. SEXTO views dropped off sharply and it went into the following year and Mylene was touring so she obviously was busy preparing for that. But you are right about almost zero media buzz or coverage. I saw one interview she did during that time. Maybe there was more but nothing substantial. Quote:
Julia projected a different image, perhaps the rich, pretty girl at school who is a cheerleader and steals other girl's boyfriend type. She might be just the opposite but never had the chance in public to dispel that notion. The popularity game is just that, a game, but it sells records. |

Anyway, I really don't see what ever life she's trying to make anyone believe she is living as more hurtful than having a rather common name, instread of something inspired or exotic. |

Anyway, we seem to have beat this subject to death. A musical career does not seem to be in Julia's future (at least pop music), but it might be modeling. She seems to like that a lot and she has a great look for it. |

Julia revealed on her Instagram Story, that she is still collaborating with Mylène Farmer. Meaning that any current projects are meant to kill time.
