My favourites are Axelle Red and France D'Amour after Alizée. You've got some international variety with that, as the former is from Belgium and the latter is from Quebec.

I've actually been listening to CHOQ FM more recently, which is Toronto's only Francophone radio station (Over 5% of Toronto is Francophone). They play a lot of great French music, much of it from Quebec. On their website, choqfm.ca, you can see their top 40 chart and listen to samples of every song on it.

How about Julien Dore?

Just for comparison, here's Priscilla being subjected to La Methode Cauet last month:

BTW her new album was released 3 days ago. I guess there must be some analogous community out there in collective ecstasy.

She went a lot more hip-hop than Décollage (break-dancing and everything):

They weren't kidding about the near-simultaneous releases (e.g., Alizée, Lorie, Priscilla, Jenifer, etc. etc.)

That dude's nuts. I wish the US had a show like that.

I recommend Air. It's just great music, very relaxing and melodic.

Regarding the Prescilla video: It's really in bad taste. She looks like a child, I think this is just not right. With Moi...Lolita it was different. Alizee looked like a teenager, not a child and she made the impression that she knew what she was doing. Also, the Prescilla video accentuates the childish, innocent element, the same could not be said about Moi...Lolita.
