Though I must admit it would make an interesting movie

Julien's single will apparently be available Aug. 20. I got this off alizeealliance.

http://www4.fnac.com/Shelf/article.a...riginClick=yes

One thing that is interesting about this is that it provides a reasonable data point regarding the lead time between announcement of a single's availability and the single itself (~5 weeks). Thus, if Alizee is going to come out with a new single, I'm guessing we ought to be seeing roughly the same kind of lead time. With her name on people's lips because of this, now would certainly be an opportune time....

Remember that it's Mylène who owns the right to the song. She gave Julien permission to release the single, and it's doubtful that Alizée had anything to do with it. While it could be an opportune time to release her new album, it can also be seen as a bad time to do so. Because it can be looked at both ways, this will just be another time when she might release it, but likely won't. Sorta like July 4

Actually, there is a standardized mechanism for obtaining cover rights. (I don't know the details in France but I am hypothesizing that it's substantially the same).
See e.g.
http://www.cleverjoe.com/articles/mu...right_law.html
There is usually a way to negotiate a better deal with the artist directly, but it's not strictly necessary.

This si really strange what's happening with Julien Doré.
What he does with "Moi...LOlita" , on "La nouvelle star" (Pop idol) was just made to surprise the Jury, a kind of absurd, poetic, " surreallitic" exercice to show his originality, his eccentricity...

So i don't understand how this could be his first single release...
I think it's not good for him to start by something that's not is own material, and it's more a joke than other thing.

By the way, the music and the lyrics are not exactly the same as the orginal.(But it's not about assuming to be Lolita, or being in love with her either.)

But I can understand what Mylène does, when she give up her rights to Julien. I'm sure she love to appeared " hype", and she's receptive to the eccentricity of the guy (and maybe more than receptive... )

But i dont' see it as a bad news for Alizée, anyway.

I don't know what thinking about all that

I'm completely with Mylène because she's the author of the lyrics so it's always a good thing to her to accept even if she doesn't care about Julien at all

But it's very sad because Alizée left good performances on the Moi...Lolita title that Julien won't do...

Anyone interested in how performing rights societies work can check out this link:http://www.bmi.com/about/

Much of the income a songwriter or publishing company make is collected through these organizations.
