[Amigo!]

The really funny thing about all this, is that I've seen all three in concert this year

She's not suing anyone. And of course Alizée herself does not care (I think). She either has no desire (nor perhaps permission) to even use the music anymore in her concerts, etc. If there was an obvious rip off, Boutonnat might sue someone.

I don't really know if they were aware of JEAM, or Satriani's song, but the fact that Lilly's song was first, and Viva la vida is having or was having some succes, stills being unfair for me . I wish more people, at least, knew Viva La Vida is so similar to JEAM ( well, Viva la Vida is similar to JEAM, not the opposite, but they don't know).. that way they could discover Alizee. It would be like promoting her, just like Ruro said.

Yeah, I like that Coldplay song, but I much rather would have liked it to actually be a JEAM remix. Anyway, some Coldplay fans know about Alizée now.

Yeah, we need a computer program to analyze songs and just run any and all new songs we can get through it to find ones similar to Alizée songs, then let the accusations fly!

What are you saying, she can't sing JEAM in her concerts?

Did you watch the concert clips or the "Acoustic" tv show? She sang JEAM, but with totally different music and a different style. She has not used any of the original music, elements of it yes, for any of her earlier songs that she has sung in the last year. Maybe she just wanted to mix it up and do something different to try to make it feel more like her current album, but for all I know she might not even have permission to use it. Just thinking of possibilities.

its a damn song! dnt end the world because of it!! its entertainment! i mean how petty can u get if ur making a war over something insignificant as that??

i just think viva la vida is a great song and there's sum jealous people out there. i listened 2 dat comparison of coldplay and alizee and coldplays beat is faster than hers and there's no similarities @ all. if there is i dnt see it.

i never thought i would live in a time where people argue over something that comes out of their throats and imagination.

So you're saying Viva la Vida is better than JEAM?

I don't get that yet. On my earlier days , when I just knew about Alizee, one of the very first things I did was to read the wikipedia article. It used to say (because now It doesn't) that she decided, by herself, to leave the rights of her first 2 albums to Laurent and Mylene, and now, she had to make new remixes or edit the songs. So that means, that I will never hear her singing the same songs she sang on other concerts before !?
Unfortunately, I was not there , but she did not sing the original versions of MCE's and Gourmandise's songs, right?

And if that is right (that she doesnt have the permission), why doesn't Mylene (or Laurent) say "Oh, no please, Lilly, go ahead, perform the original songs" !?. Or does Lilly really wants to make new versions of the songs? or she did that just because she thought it was the right decision to leave them the rights of the songs ?
