Look-alikes!

Why can't we use facial recognition software??? Feed pictures of Alizee into facial recognition software, and have the program scan the internet for look-alikes.

After having the facial recognition software scan the internet for, let's say, 6 months, we take the closest matches and we contact and audition them.

What do you think?

For what?

I know a woman who is humble in everyday life, but put her in front of an audience to make a speech or presentation (even a big one), she has no fear. She admitted she feels no stage fright. I want to apply this to Alizee. Naturally shy and reserved, you can see evidence of that just by her body language sometimes. But she somehow gets "in the zone" performing in front of an audience. Lots of eye contact with the camera. It comes off as confident to me, but situational. I think she has learned to cope with stage fright somehow. Maybe it's just all those years of performing in front of an audience while she was a child. It's just one of those gifts that make her a natural entertainer.

Yes. She studied for years how to present well on stage.

Though I'm not sure this is directed to what I said, I think it does directly relate to what I said, if you follow me and I"m not sure if it's directed towards MF, or more likely, Alizee. Mylene Farmer and Laurant Boutanant were so talented, so gifted, they left every moment of a video they were connected with,touched by their skills, such as the video I mentioned before, but if it was just Alizee's skills at evidenced here, it was skilled well honed.

The experience of which I lack, comes to me with time, don't worry about that. I am sure of this, because I watch my old videos and I clearly see my mistakes. If you want to see my confidence, you can watch recent videos, I think I look better there.

I think happiest I be when I performance Gourmandises Remix in first time... Cause I like this song! So much! <3

Still on the topic of confidence, how much work did MF have to do with Alizee to hone her performances and interviews? Somehow I get the feeling that much of what we see with Alizee is a natural gift. I don't think MF had to build Alizee from scratch, but maybe smooth out the rough edges, instruct her on do's and don'ts. I can see more about Alizee during her interviews, and I have been amazed on how composed and mature she is, even when she was very young.

Most of us have seen this interview when she was 17. She does not behave like most 17 year olds in this situation. Alizee listens intently with full eye contact with the interviewer. She is warm and friendly and generous with her smiles and face scrunches. She answers the questions calmly and maturely beyond her years.

Confidence? Definitely yes. I think she takes this confidence right to the stage with her when she performs.

For someone so young and with little professional experience at that point, she did show a tremendous amount of composure and warmness and you have to believe that's something even MF could not have taught her in their short time together.

I suspect that Alizee has a natural ability to enter a state of total concentration when performing-- and this state of concentration by its very nature blocks fear. Its a neurological gift--- she never had to "learn" how to do it.

That's a very good possibility Mr Coucou!

Where are you from people who have never been in "her skin" can know what she studied and what is not
