success in the music industry takes a combination of several factors

here are some

1. connections in the music industry
2. talent: singing ability, dancing, personality, charm
3. looks
4. motivation
5. demographic that will listen to your music
6. maturity

well Alizee seems to have all six

1. she already has a connections with RCA
2. certainly has the talent (and we saw recently that her English is good)
3. quite possibly the most beautiful face i've ever seen
4. Alizee does have the work ethic to become an international star
5. the youth, teenagers, disney demographic and of course us as well
6. Alizee is very mature for her age and can withstand fame (unlike say britteny spears)

its just a matter of whether she wants to or not
and there are good arguments that it may be bad for her to come here - life is just simpler and happier in beautiful France

imho there are good arguments on both sides

^I think Alizee is definitely capable of being a huge success here, but whats holding her back is she being so modest and having unnecessary fears of the American market.

i concur and join in your opinion

but b/c you quoted me, then i'm really concurring with myself

Future Ace Raptor one day our optimism will be validated

While I think I have made my opinions on this matter fairly clear already, I thought I'd mention that I recently sat on a plane next to a person who did a fair amount of training/consulting at Sony/BMG USA marketing HQ in Indianapolis, and I outlined the situation to him and showed him some En Concert excerpts (which impressed him), and he said he'd ask around with his friends there to see what's up.

She needs to sing in English if she is ever to make it big in mainstream America. Kind of like Celine Dion who used to sing in French when she was starting out in Quebec but after she started producing songs in English she became very successful here in America.
