I really do enjoy listening to all of her songs, because she made them for us. But these are the ten I think I enjoy the most.

(In the order they appear on the albums.)

L'Alizé
Parler tout bas
Gourmandises
A contre courant
Amélie m'a dit
Tempête
Hey! Amigo!
Le dernier souffle
L'amour renfort
Mon planeur

Here's my list. They are not necessarily in order of most favorite down, except for number 1 (PLP), which is my favorite Alizee song to date. The rest I list by album.

1. Par les paupières (Psychédélices)
L'Alizé (Gourmandises)
Mon Maquis (En Concert version)
Gourmandises (Gourmandises)
À contre-courant (Mes Courants Électriques)
Hey! Amigo! (Mes Courants Électriques)
Youpidou (Mes Courants Électriques)
Décollage (Psychédélices)
Idéaliser (Psychédélices)
Dans mon sac (5)
Mon planeur (Blonde)

OK, I can't count. I listed eleven.

Notice I said PLP is my favorite "to date". Staying hopeful.

Thanks kulli. How did I miss this? I downloaded it right away. Scruffy has always done a good job of putting the personality of Alizee in his videos.

Maybe some of the newer members had not seen this video of his. It remains my favorite compilation video.

Unfortunately when I put this together, I didn't have a good video editing program but worse than that, my editing skills were so lacking. One of the obvious mistakes are the lines you see due to interlacing.

I tried as best I could to put this in chronological order, but there are some mistakes in that regard. I also tried to include something from every performance that was available then.

Also when I first put this together, it was 22 minutes long. Well with my account, I was only allowed to upload a 10 minute video, so I shortened it and there is a 10 minute version out there on Youtube.

I finished watching that video and i really love it, such an amazing summary of her career during Gourmandises and Mes Courants Electriques.

Here is one reason I really like the 10 minute video. Starting at 7:43 for the following 8 or 9 seconds, her dances are in sync with the music. It is a great effect and I wondered if you had done that on purpose, or was it by chance?

This was actually my favorite 9 seconds for a while. I just rewatched those 9 seconds about five times.

Well it was seven years ago when I put these together and I'm quite sure I didn't try to sync it. What I tried to do was get a small clip of every performance, using the best clip from that performance, then putting them in chronological order, so I think it was just luck but I do have a couple other videos out there where I did sync the video to the music.

Here's one where I took clips from all her Moi Lolita performances and applied them to one audio track, again trying to get them in chronological order so you could see her growing from a teenager, into a young woman.



Here;s another one where at many spots I synced her to the remix music, but what I really think came out best is the part at 2:12.



One thing I've learned over the years if you want to make a video and have a lot of hits on it, it's best to keep it to about 3 minutes. After that, people start to lose interest even if its a good one. Of course the Video history ones had to be long by their nature, but I probably should've shortened this one.

Here's one that's a little different where I synced a particular dance move to the music.
