One of the greatest things in life is to find true enjoyment in the success of others. Think about it.

She is a shy person; it's her personality. I know from experience that certain types of shyness make one look "stuck up", "reserved", "calculated". It's all the more deceptive because when performing, or in certain circles, one cannot perceive the shyness. The contrast can be deceptive. If this is the case with Alizée, conventional extrapolation of feelings based on perception are more often wrong than right.

Alizée has said in more than one interview that she is very shy - For example - at the beginning of Stars a' Domicile 2001.

So "calculated"? Maybe, but only (imho) in that she needs to know what she's doing as she steps out on stage, to not be hit with the nerves so much...

meh!

My $0.02 worth!

Aren't you contradicting yourself here? She is a good actress and can hide her feelings but she seems nervous. Unless you want to imply that she wants to appear nervous that's a contradiction.

Well I said she is a good actress, I didnt say she is an ice cube. She is actually trying to hide her natural nervousness regarding her comeback but these things are harder to fake. Its certainly far easier to tell if someone is nervous than judge the overall state of his life watching some videos.

I do like the fact that she is still shy though. Its part of her charm. Being gifted and famous and the same time retain a humble and reserved behaviour is something rather rare in the pop showbiz.

QFT!!


I like that even tho she is (obviously) more mature - she still looks like she's having fun! When she talks (to fans) - it looks as if she really is happy!

the fact that you can never be anonymous again would be hard to deal with i think.

You are totally right, that is the dark side of glory...

i think that the fact that you can live working on your passion(on her case is dancing and singing) makes you feel so happy that it doesn´t matter the consequences

Absolutely. And she seems to know this.

She has made some tough choices, but they were her choices to make.

She is still living her dream. How many of us truly get to do that to the extent she has?
