[08-04-2010] Alizée "ambushed" by fans on the street

[CFHollister]

Often when people repeatedly call a celebrity's name like that, what they are trying to exploit is almost everyone's natural tendency to look up whenever we hear our name called... so they can get a face shot with a camera.

Though I doubt she was trying to be rude, I mean, then why bother wasting time by trying to get her attention?

For those who may not know, (to use Roman's words), coucou is just a cute way of saying Hello. Alizée used it when she said hi to Alizeeamerica:

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nJcmtE1gUXo&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nJcmtE1gUXo&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

Yes, Alizée is a private person and I would guess if this were the MF/LB days, she may have not cared for this situation all that much. But being that today she is trying to be recognized by the French public again who has all but forgotten her, (except for her core fans) she might have actually enjoyed the attention. If nothing else, this video may in a small way help to validate her status as an artist and celebrity to some people who may see it.

Ou, and she did an other interview with Europe 1, a different show I guess, "On va s'gêner". That one was pretty cool.
Alizée, Julien Doré on the same show? Rarrw! :P Just kidding. It might be kind of funny to see what would happen. Well, I guess I need to list to find out how it does go (I'm guess they aren't on at the same time).

So, thanks thekidEm for the links! Et bienvenu!

Oh yeah, and when my French teacher wanted to get the class's attention she'd say that in a little bit impatient way: coucou!
