She should come out with an explanation as soon as she can, before too many of her fans get fed up and walk away. I also hope if it's rescheduled, it doesn't coincide with the Les Enfoires shows. That show always brings out the best of her appearance and song wise and I'd hate to see her miss a second straight year. Last edited by Scruffydog777; 09-08-2014 at 11:04 AM..

And we are not talking about a small percentage here. We are talking about 40/60. The other artists managed to fill 40% of the seats of the Blonde tour. This was a phenomenal phuck up by this production team.

It had to be a big phuck up. When they first announced this tour, what did they think was going to be the big draw? Did they think her dancing alone would fill up these theaters or were they counting on the success of Blonde to add to that? Given her track record, counting on the success of an album seems like it was a very foolish thing to do. Sony was rushing the album. They couldn't get it right when they had all the time in the world yet they thought they could rush one out. Couldn't they have waited to see the early returns on Blonde before booking these shows? It's yet another sad chapter in a career that has had too many since she left MF.
Hopefully something will come out of this and when it does, I will still be there. At least until an official reason is announced, we get to do a lot of speculating! Last edited by Scruffydog777; 09-08-2014 at 04:48 PM..

As I mentioned the subject of speculation in my last post and it is interesting to speculate as to why, there have been other thoughts going through my head. The show at the Olympia was doing well as far as ticket sales and the one in Marseille seemed to be a sure thing too. Now because of some web sites, it was very difficult to tell exactly how a lot of theaters were doing, but I'd think for sure, ticket wise, 4 or 5 shows would have filled up.
The question is, could they have cancelled the other shows and let just these shows take place? That's almost impossible to figure out unless you know what their economics are. Maybe having a show one week and another show a week later, then another one a week later wouldn't be financially feasable for them, but outside of Alizee, it seemed like there were no other big names involved in this so you wouldn't think such would be the case but who knows? But her latest statement has me wondering. "Like you I am sad, but it is only a postponement... I'll see you very soon to announce some great news". She said a postponement and I do trust her. Maybe she's living in a fantasy world and expects the impossible to happen, but I will keep the faith; only for her. So what would cause a postponement? Well she said "great news" and what would be the greatest news to somone who is so family oriented? Of course it would be a baby. If that's the case, when the tour was announced, the bun was probably in the oven, but I doubt if she knew it yet. If it is a baby, it will be interesting to see when it is born and then we will be able to figure out who knew what and when. I also speculated on the idea that maybe someway they found a way for her to be involved in this years DALS; afterall, Gregoire will be in it! Now if ticket sales for the tour were doing great, that would never be a consideration for them, but with ticket sales so, so, maybe it became an option. Build up her popularity again. Maybe promote some of the better songs of Blonde. Cancelling a tour seems like a big deal for us and it is, but for the average person in France, it's probably a minor inconvienence. They just have to go downtown one day and get a refund or exchange their tickets. As for us, outside of France, as usual, we are an afterthought. Fans who have been so loyal over the years are a minor condsideration. When they post a video, it's not available to us.When they cancel a concert or a tour little consideration is given to those who have spent money on unrefundable hotel reservations and plane tickets that most of her outside fans can ill afford to lose. I guess it's all a part of being a fan of Alizee. We know the risks. If another tour is announced, we will again make reservations because at least to me, no one can ever take the place of Alizée.

When the tour was announced it was in Mid-May. If she would have been pregnant in May she would be - at least - four months pregnant by now which is impossible because someone posted a photo of her - taken on Sunday. She doesn't look pregnant at all. And at least in July (if I'm not totally wrong) she was still talking about the tour. So - IF she is pregnant - my theory is that she just go the news and decided to cancel because of this. So she might be only two months pregnant. I doubt she would wait four months to decide if she goes on tour with a big belly or not. Quote:

On Sony's page we can see that they have canceled most of the dates.
But not all of them. Why not? Most of the dates that remain are after DALS5. Could it be Alizée doesn't want to perform without Gregoire, so she only decided to leave the dates where they could perform together? People pay for the ticket and want to see their dances. Wouldn't be fair if some of the audience will only get half the show. Is this why she seems happy and talks about "super news"? The most important question is: Why has Sony not cancelled ALL of the dates? What do you think? Meanwhile, this will keep me busy:
