Well, she looked pretty pleased about it in the video to me, though yeah in general I think she's pretty ambivalent. That means that she's not sure whether she likes it or not, which means that to some degree she does like it.
Do we know anything about the circumstances? This really did not look like random "fans" assailing her. It sounded like reporters and stuff, the one lady keeps calling "Alizée, coucou, Alizée".

Yeah, I agree it wasn't just random fans "assailing" her. I suspect she was doing an interview or something inside.

We know from past experience that she dosen't really like that sort of thing but she seemed happy enough on that clip?
As long as it dosen't go too far it's probably ok with her.
Kind of nice to see it happen.

A little publicity is good and it looked like she wasn't overly surprised by it. Also the way she handles such things may have a big impact on the public opinion over there. Then again maybe not.

If footage of her getting raided by these guys is posted on the news over there, then it must urge others that they need to cover her...

So good to see she's still quite popular and loved.

This is somewhat new. She hasn't had this level of attention in France for may years. It is a sign that what she has been doing is beginning to pay off (with both good and not so good side effects).

Interesting. And probably true.

However, there are some protections for public figures over there that we do not have here. I hope that it is enough to allow her to continue to live a normal enough life to let her maintain her balance and groundedness.

Well, It's rather quite easy for reporters, if they're interested ofc, to "ambush" a star, including Alizée, a lot of people know where and when the interviews take place, so it's just a thing of being in right place in right time. And I really liked her smile. But this women's voice, calling Alizée, coucou Alizée, Alizée etc. sounded for me a bit like calling a dog or a cat, just a bit unkind.

Yet another reason why I don't really like the idea of doing that sort of thing. I have all kinds of ways to give her strokes and let her know I like what she's doing without intruding on her space. I would be pretty ambivalent about it, too.

[User22]

Yah it really did sound like they were calling a dog or a cat...how rude...if Alizée was a dog...well then she would be a purebred Corsican pup...and those are expensive...why am I talking about her being a dog..

Yeah, that confused me to.. I mean, coucou Alizée? I thought maybe it was just a French sound, sort of like how in New Zealand we used "OI!!" as a way of getting someone's attention.

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