I think it's interesting that the "Alizée" searches are so vastly underrepresented everywhere but France. [Alt+0233]! It's not that bad to type (Unless you have a laptop without a numberpad, in which case... uhm... good luck!)

My area wins!

What's that chart based on? is it just hits or specifically the amount of users?

yeah why Is that?

also my mom's modern dell laptop has no numpad, but can stll get the e with accent. you use "Fn" key and press alt+jlm (j=1, l=3, m=0)

I'm in Fort Myers, Florida and tell everyone I know. It's not that we are not necessarily not telling enough people. It's more like they hear about who everyone likes and just play who they like anyway.

When the movie comes out and Moi-Lolita is heard, if enough people like the song, then they might start listening and searching for Alizée on their own, as now they will have discovered it on their own.

Most people I speak with mention who they are listening too to me and I overlook it unless they have the CD playing right then while talking with me. Even then, if I don't get into their taste in music, thats as far as it goes.

Would they not use a french keyboard layout in france? Meaning they only have to make one keystroke for the é rather than an alt-code.

I think they use similar keyborads like ours but with extra keys for their unique language sounds as well. Imagine trying to remember all the key combinations for each sound on our keyboard.

Yes of course. Here's the French keyboard.

Note also the two highlighted keys on the pics (left to the "$" and the "£"). They are "^" and "¨" accents. For those ones, you have to type them first (nothing happens), then the vowel you want with one of these accents and you're done. For example: ô, ë.
Note 2: they forgot the euro sign (€) on these pics. It's on the "e" key, to be typed with Right-Alt.

You can also a buy French Canadian keyboard that has accents that work like the French keyboards but have all the other keys where they are on the US keyboard if you really hate using the Alt-Numpad...

[Alt+0233]? I use [Alt+130] saves a keystroke...

It's that La Isla Bonita video Alizee made, that's why she so popular in Mexico.
