Gourmandises: Mylène Farmer and the Truth of the Song

[Lucas]

I don't believe there was some contract.

If she wanted to leave Mylene, I think it would be weird to have already a contract for new album. It was just half year after her tour, the dvd was still not released, and there was planned a promo for the dvd (Amelie M'a Dit), but it ended only with clip from concert and promo cd.

If the possible contract was made in the second half of 2004, there was already one thing sure - Annily. She was born on April 2005, so +- in August 2004 Alizée knew she is waiting a baby. Why she would make a contract, when she is waiting a baby, and she knows she will be not able to work on new album? And then the risk of possible penalties. Hard to imagine Mylene or Universal to make something against Alizée, but nobody knows.

I think simply there was planned promo for the dvd, maybe some singing of the Amelie Ma Dit, but cause Alizée's pregnancy everything was stopped, and later both sides decided for end. Alizée had time for her baby, and later when she decided to come back to music, she started to solve the thing with her stage name. If there would be really some problem between her and Mylene, I dont think Mylene would give her stage name just for 1€. And then, we cant forget that the first copy of Psychedelices was sent to Mylene.

Alizée talked about Mylene always in the best way, plus the last interview with Pascal Negro (boss of Universal Music) where he stated "If at any point there is no trust between the record company and the artist, it is better to stop it. At that time, it gets complicated and it is useless" or "Alizee was 16, then she turned 18 ... and at some point, there may have been an adolescent crisis, perhaps a desire to exist ... It is perhaps a bit too stuffy to be in the shadow of Mylène Farmer. There may be lots of things. It does not shock me!"

I think he was right... Alizée was in the shadow, she and her songs were product of Mylene, and I think that was the main problem.
