My all time favourite album which is "MCMXC a.D" of Enigma is much softer and I don't see people arguing about it. The reason of strangeness is in Alizee's music for children and all the pink aura to her. She herself makes you think she is very-very feminine and soft. A bit gay many may say, but I don't care. I can forget easely those people, but I can't forget Alizee "for eternity".

Yes, same here, for the most part, also at 44. What can I say ... I've always liked pop music ... old American pop from the 50's all the way through the late 80's, J-pop (Japanese pop), euro-pop (mostly what used to be called "dance"). It's typically simple music, easy to both listen to actively or use as background, catchy and hooky. But at least a few of my peers (many significantly younger than I) insist that if the music isn't edgy, radical, "urban", obscure, dark, violent or filled with obscenities ... it must be "gay".

When promoting Alizée to friends and cohorts, I used to hear quite a bit of "what are you ... a 13-year old girl or gay ?". Then I show them the JEAM TV performance, the one with Alizée in the little dark-blue pseudo-velvet sailor suit with the goldfish on the bun.

The whole "gay" theory pretty much gets flushed down the crapper at that point.

Yes! I agree, the prejudice thing! That's why they are dumb. It's funny, though when they face their ignorance on the plate. Something like this looking, yes!

HAHA, thanks for the laugh!
I almost fell of my chair when reading the last part

And to be honest...I felt like this at first when I listened to Alizée...
I didnt know how I was going to present her music to the guys
My circle of friends usually listens to electronica and metal.
But now everyone knows that Im just the "Alizée guy"

I havent told them that I have bought all her music though, haha!

[Chommpers]

At first my friends and family just found it quite weird and then they noticed how much time I spend listening to her, learning about her, and on this site, now they say I have a obsession. They dont quite understand why I like her just that I do and they accept it now. I still catch jokes from it, but it's just what friends do, we poke fun at eachother. It is not a big deal really, they listen to what they like and I listen to what I like.

they tell me im gay. then i tell them to shut up, then i go put on a tank top and daisy dukes and a fanny pack, and go shopping for some handbags on my roller blades.

but seriously, they like her music well enough, but most of them just like her nice ass. they also find it weird that a guy like me who listens to hard core rock, grunge, metal music would like that kind of music. i try to remind them that i also like christina aguilera's music at the same time i was listening to slipknot. that usually doesnt work, they just find me even weirder, and they question their friendship with me.

Can't argue with them on that one.

[Moi-aimes-Alizée]

My mates says that she looks ok but that most swedish people listen to crap heavy metal and such and they dislike this kind of music and girls that doesnt take off their cloths on the stage

Most of the guys I showed Alizee videos like the Jeam video, they find her very attractive. But they are not into her music, except for one guy who brought her fist two albums when they came out years ago, but I don't think he is not really into her music anymore eventhough he still finds her attractive. I, like others on this forum, would get weird looks or probably think I am weird if I play her music.

[Paulina]

My closest friend thinks she's cool and likes her and her music but my other friends thinks it's weird because it's in another language.
