I don't remember seeing that video before. You were really zoomed in.

Focusing celebrities that want to have fun must be like herding cats.
You probably didn't see that wedding video because I believe it was taken down by Youtube for c/r violations. I think it might be in the hub though. As in many of the sketches on that show, she really seemed to be enjoying herself, but this one, even more so.

Edit:

See if this little video I just posted gets taken down. I posted a similar one years ago, I added a little on to this.

I have never seen so many videos closely focused on a single star who is performing on a stage cluttered with other famous people as we have on AA. I'm wondering if there is a similar practice on other fan based sites or is this a phenomenon peculiar to Alizee.

But it's after this show, she went to Ajaccio and this is when we started to learn she had separated from Jeremy.

In that show, they had a sketch where a few of the singers were dressed up in wedding gowns and one was Alizee and we talked about with what was going on, that must've been depressing for her. But it didn't seem to be. She looked very happy during the show including that particular one.

I think the reasons were, just as dancing was a release for her when she was a young girl, this show was also a release for her.

Second, I think she had tried long and hard to make that marriage work and finally gave up when she saw there was no hope. It was a one way street and finally making that decision was a release for her.

Third, she was also romantically linked to Matt Pokura during this show. They apparently went on a date to a soccer game I believe it was. But if there was anything to this relationship, it didn't last long.
I'm sure by the time the divorce came, the freedom from the pain seemed like a breath of fresh air. But, knowing the kind of person that Alizee is, the failure of her marriage is hugely significant. I think she will carry that wound to some extent for a very long time.

Some people are just really good at smiling on the outside at all times. It is my opinion she had a real tough time for a few years, especially when you add the failure of her album Blonde on top of it. But, she got through it, and I think Gregoire was instrumental in helping her do that.

Yes I think Alizee is the type of woman who marries for life. If something bad had happened to Jeremy and he was crippled and horribly scarred, she would have stood by him for all his days. But his loss of love for her was something she couldn't live with.

I was watching Les Enfoires 2010 today and they did a song by Patrick Bruel called 'J'te le dis quand même' which I believe translates to 'I'm still telling you' and Alizee had a small part in this performance.

This seems to be a very popular song with the ladies, as well as Patrick himself, as evidenced in this video of him singing it years ago. It's also was one of the songs Alizee and Gregoire danced to in the second week of DALS in a performance that brought out a lot of emotion in Alizee because at that point, she was still in love with Jeremy. That was to change over the next few weeks as Gregoire won her heart.

I also posted the English lyrics below that kind of gives you an idea why it might have affected Alizee so much.

Je t'aime.jpg




week 2 dals.jpg

https://lyricstranslate.com/en/Jte-l...#ixzz5Azny2bwi






English translation
I'm still telling you
We could have told all that to each other
Elsewhere than at the cafe down there
That you would maybe leave
And maybe you wouldn't even come back
But anyway , what's sure
Is that we could have laughed it off

So we're going to break up like that ,
Like fools in front of the cafe down there
Like in a B movie
We both suck
We've been making fun so many times
Of the people who do that

But I find no chorus for our story
All the words that occur to me are pathetic
I pretty much know I've said it too much
But I'm still telling you .. I love you

I still want to thank you
For all the mean words we've never told to each other
Some people are laughing already
I don't care , I've never liked them
We looked too happy together
Some people can't stand that

But I find no chorus for our story
All the words that occur to me are pathetic
I pretty much know I've said it too much
But I'm still telling you .. I love you

I still want to thank you
For all the mean words we've never told to each other
Some people are laughing already
I don't care , I've never liked them
We looked too happy together
Some people can't stand that

But I find no chorus for our story
All the words that occur to me are pathetic
I pretty much know I've said it too much
But I'm still telling you .. I love you

I pretty much know I've said it too much
But I'm still telling you .. I love you

.. I love you .

During one of her shows in Mexico, she cried through the whole thing--all ten songs! OMG! At the time she was fighting with Jeremy and the members of the band. On 19 Mar 2009, Alizeeinternationalfan posted the following excruciating description here on Alizee America. Obviously, the breakup was horrendous. I could find only one video of the event, but its quality is atrocious. Alizee's image is a blur and the sound is nothing but noise.
---------------------------------------------------


What the Heck Happened??? She cried the whole concert!
Ok folks, back in my hotel at 4am (finding a taxi back was impossible, this town is the strangest--not enough taxis and crazy crazy partying).

Headline: Alizee came out crying and pretty much cried the whole time. I have never seen anything like it. I was sending reports, but I don't see them posted. Here is the rundown:

By the time she got on stage, the crowd was fatigued by the beauty queen show, the French cabaret show, and the male singer. They actually would not serve beer, ran out of some of their liquors, and during the concert walked around and made people sit down in their chairs (we were all at tables)! The crowd was much like her Russian concert crowd as described last year: rich, older, low energy. All of the above contributed to a deflated atmosphere.

When she came on, she began with MJ. She looked darked from the start and projected a dark image thoughout. Her skirt was dark, her blouse was dark, her hair was in the boyish style, dark boots, and her makeup: very dark, too much of it and dark circles around her eyes. She looked worn out and old (though still beautiful) for Alizee. Still, she was singing MJ and it was Ok. It looked like work for her (vice fun) from the start. It was nothing like Monterrey last year.

She then spoke a few words in Spanish and her voice was trembling. I had heard her voice tremble with nervousness somewhere else before, can't remember, but it was distinctly trembling and I was suprised that this professional performer was nervous. Then, she launched into ML, and it was then that I saw the tears. And everyone saw them. The cameras were close up and their were big screens. The folks at my table were shocked and I couldn't believe it. I thought, maybe it was excessive sweat from the heat, but it wasn't really hot. Clearly, the tears were coming from out of her eyes and it was just...stunning. She was singing ML, but who was hearing it? I wasn't. When she got to the part where she throws some Madonna in there, I thought it was over and she was just going to stop. I need to see the video.

Third song was Taxi Driver and I texted to my friend, "She looks old, 3rd song now, everyone is like "whats going on", her face is soaked. She left the stage.." And so she did. Upon finishing Taxi Driver (I have no idea how good it was because of the distractions regarding her emotions), I saw a figure in a white sweatshirt come over to her on the stage (they had just blacked it out) and take her off stage; I guessed it was Jeremy. She had picked up something to dry her face as they walked off. There was a short pause and then she came back.

4th song was Sounds of Silence and this she did well. She certainly seemed to be in the mood for it. She spoke a few words before it and I think mentioned it was for her child, or made her think about her child. She got into this song and I think it was her best performance of the night. The combination of her hitting some of those notes, the rhythm, and knowing that she was going through some emotions was pretty powerful at times.

She then spoke a little more in Spanish, this time saying she was going to use a French translator. This little bit and the one before showed no voice trembling, which made that first time she spoke and her voice trembled even more noticeable to me. She introduced the band, but wow, light years away from when she introduced the band in the Alizee en Concert years. The energy just wasnt there. I just didnt get the sense she was interested in doing the concert.

5th song was JEAM. It was weak. We were standing up though and Alizee was moving around, but clearly, it seemed like effort and not fun for her. They all then took a break and the DJ guy spun a hard rock record.

She came back with Decollage for her 6th song. It was OK but it was no Monterrey. The crowd was politely listening, probably trying to figure out if the crying was normal, and Alizee didn't seem enthused.

7th song was 50/60. Hard not to get into that, but even that only had its moments.

8th song was La Isla Bonita. Gone was the Alizee that gripped the microphone and swayed her hips sexily and confidently in the video. She did try and you have to give her credit for being a professional and fighting whatever she was to give the performance, but for those that know Alizee, this wasn't her. She has changed so much if it was her!

9th song was L'effet. She sat in a chair for it, mentioned her child again and then halfway through the song, she starts tearing up again.This didn't seem to be (just) emotion for maybe missing her child. There is something definitely going on, I thought to myself.


She ended with JEAM again, this time with the fair's beauty queens all up on stage. It seemed like effort again.

In summary, this was the darkest I've ever seen Alizee. I am pretty sure my observations were correct. One guy out by the bathrooms just said it was sweat, but no way. I saw streaks of wetness on her face coming from her eyes and I saw her eyes continually welling up. You know how some people cry and its a little tear or two trickling down in its path? Not the case here..her face was soaked, she wasn't just crying, she was really crying. Can't wait to hear if others saw/felt the same. Hopefully I am wrong and just caught wrong angles or something???

I believe if I remember it correctly, they blamed her crying on her eye make up but I don't think many people bought that.

If I could name one personality attribute of Alizee that I admire the most, her loyalty would be it.

I didn't know he lost his love for her. Did she say that in an interview somewhere? It's hard to keep loving somebody that doesn't love you anymore, and I'm sure she had quite a battle inside because her loyal nature kept hoping he would love her again.

Sometimes two good people put together as a couple just doesn't mix well and they bring out the worst of each other. His career crashed and burned, so maybe he blamed her. It sounds like there was not a lot of peace in the house.

I remember watching this the first time and I myself had a wet eye. She was truly broken-hearted and this was one time she could not hide it.

I'm sure she guarded her heart from Gregoire as with all other men at first, but Gregoire had to first earn her trust. Her trusting him gave a solid foundation for love to eventually grow.

Holy crappers! I missed this thread. What a disaster. I think it would be too painful to watch if there was a video of all this.
