Rap just sucks. I don't think even Alizee can make it tolerable. |

Most rap does suck, I agree. But that's because most rap is violent, sexist, and generally awful. In other words, it's not the musical form, it's the lyrics. These lyrics are different. They're good. I think she and Oxmo both sound good here, have to differ with Espire on that. I love this song. Hey, you don't have to agree, though. I know better than to argue with an old Boomer.

I don't think it's misguided to want to continue seeing your favourite artist perform and create music. People seem to forget that the music industry is also a business. If you want to attract talented people to work with you, you must have the record sales backing you up.
Certainly Alizee has earned my support for the reasons with which we are all familiar and I will continue buying her music because I don't want her to disappear (and I'm not even a big fan of her current release). I will be (pleasantly) surprised if she ever matches her previous success and I'm not really expecting it. Afterall, she set the bar pretty high even for herself, not to mention she's a different person now. Nonetheless I'm eager to find out what she has to offer, and even if this release isn't a huge success, I don't want her to quit! |

Welcome to Alizée America, Oscar!

Anyway...just apologizing if there was any excessively harsh "tone" to my post. I think I was in a bad mood that day.

Honestly, I think I'm just reverting to my former tastes. Or, they never went away, and I just had a passing phase of liking a particular slice of French pop music. But the interest just isn't there for me anymore. I don't know why...

This album will be criticized a lot because people won't like all of the music styles on it. So it is not a love it or hate it type of thing. While the less-liked songs do grow on you after a couple listens, the general public is not going to give them the chance that we do. I didn't really like L'effet much on the first listen but found myself waking up this morning with the song in my head... I had to go listen to it, and I still don't like it nearly as much as a few of the others. lol

To be honest, I love the 2 initial songs (Fifty Sixty and Mademoiselle Juliette) and was indifferent with the others (when they were made available on her MySpace). Well, maybe not Par Les Paupières (I'm really loving it). When I first heard Décollage, I didn't know what to think but "oh my words, what was that." But, I've been listening to the whole album ever since and I'm enjoying and appreciating all of them in their own rights. Also, have you gone back to read her latest Biography? It may help you understand where the album is coming from. BTW, glad to see (or read) from you again.

You know, i don't think the new album is bad, but in my opinion her two previous albums were better. its just a matter of opinion, but i think if she was to sort of mix and match her styles together on her next (if there will be one) album. Such as one or two songs made with her former producers, as well as this new style shes taken up. That way she gets to make music that she finds more "her" that people will listen to because its on an album with a song as popular as moi... Lolita.
Don't get me wrong, im not saying that i don't like the new album, because its great. I'm just saying that (particularly her 2nd album) was much better than what she's recently put out. I recently found out about Alizee while i was just minding my own buisness on youtube (about 2-3 months ago) then was delighted and pleased when i found out in just a few short months she'd be releasing a new album. I don't want to say i was disapointed, because i wasn't. I guess i was just expecting the same style of music. But anyway, the point of this post was to just express i thought it would have been good if she had a few songs similar to her old pop style on her album in addition to what she did. i know she didn't think she was given enough artistic freedom, and that she was essentially a puppet, but maybe a mix with both styles could fix that feeling while still keeping her old fans hooked with the same good songs they were used to (as well as some great new good ones in a differant style of music) Lastly, i just wanted to quickly make a comparison. Brittney Spears is currently 25 years of age, while Alizee is 23. You notice that American celebreties are freaking retarded, while europian stars are still shining. just another reason why i hate America, thought i'd add it to my first post so you guys get an idea about where i am coming from here. Alizee is truly an amazing singer/artist/person, and should be treated as such. |
