Alizée's Last Name

Exactly how would you pronounce Alizée's last name?

Would the J sound like the J in Jacques. I imagine it sounding like Jacques--o--tay. Let me know if that's right. P's.

Like Hiby said, but with a little bit more "j" in the "sha" (but not too much). I pronounce it like that mp3 says...I think Brad or aFrenchie posted the link.

here is the link to a french text to speech engine ... she is saying 'Alizee Jacotey or Lili'

I have no idea if it is really how it is pronounced, but I know aFrenchie heard it and didnt say it was wrong .. maybe he will confirm.

sounds like I imagined it would tho ...

Ya that's pretty much it, but like English pronounciation is a little different depending on where you are from, this being a little different than where I'm from. It doesn't sound as natural as I would expect a fluent French speaker to say it, if that means anything? Jacotey sounds off, at least from how I say it, and it should be "ou" not "or".

I would be suprised if she wasn't using her married name, at least officially .. I dont have any facts to base this opinion on though ...

but to me .. she will always just be Alizée

Yes I do. The mp3 is correct.
