No one really knows about Alizee's upcoming album, just a lot of speculation on the entire Internet. Thanks to a posting by "Snatcher42" I've read that Alizee is supposed to have a new single out in September followed by the new album sometime at the end of the year.

Alizee sings live in her concert DVD and a few other videos. She sings magnificantly live in her concert, so much so that I prefer the live versions of some of her songs instead to the retail release versions.

Lipsynching is just the way that most people do it in Europe and here in the US when the singer is moving around, especially when they're dancing. Madonna and Janet Jackson both said that you can have great live singing or a great show (dancing and performing) but you can't have both. That's because the human body would be panting through most of the songs. Today, fans demand a physical show from top performers (dancing and moving around a lot) and that would leave you out of breath. Just check out a show from Madonna, Janet Jackson, or Britney Spears. Again, that's just the way the human body works. But Alizee has taken special voice classes to help her with the dancing and singing together part. And she does about as good as anyone could do it.

I believe this statement. This is probably the reason why Alizee did a lot of lip-synching during her JEAM, ML and JPVA days.

Alizee is very decent live...has anyone thought to listen to the raw audio from the En Concert Tour?

BLASPHEMER!!!!

Seriously, though. I've seen a couple of videos where she wasn't dead on, and I've seen some fan-recorded videos of things like the Russian concerts that sounded bad, but the recording quality was too terrible to judge.

However, in general, she is wonderful live. I mean, isn't that how she originally got the job? Winning a live singing contest when she was 15? Some of her live stuff is absolutely beautiful.

Edit: Aaronis's post with the video above is a perfect example. If you don't think she sang that beautifully, then we have no frame of reference and can no longer speak on this subject. I agree she nails the softer songs the best, and I feel her next album should be in that vein.

Alizee never won Graines de star, she was a runner up. Also take into account she has aged 10 years since then, her voice has most definitely changed and matured from the teen-aged voice that got her famous.

lol im honestly going to say that was ok.. nothing better than ok but that is just becuase I dont like soft songs you can never tell a persons singing voice from them.. but that is just a pure opinion statement by myself.
Alizees best live performances IMO are as follows... and she goes beyond nailing it

Also let me say I hope is doesnt seem like im bashing Melle Alizee, becuase im not, anyone on here who knows me knows I have nothing but the deepest respect and admiration for Alizee and her music. My only 2 criticisms for her is her live performances and her new album..... that's it

It all depends, sometimes I want to hear the studio version of the song with perfectly tuned vocals guitar rhythm etc.

But other times I like to hear how they mix it up in live preformance and see it from a preformer side. It all depends

It's good that she always sang JPVA recorded on TV, or else there's no way it could have sounded even remotely good while she would dance. The en concert version is kind of meh, but that was the last song of the concert. She was clearly exhausted after all that singing but then she had to go do her most energetic dance

I thought she did much better than that given the fact - like you've stated - that it was the last song and she was already exhausted. JPVA is actually one of my favorite songs in En concert.

I appreciate the fans who record and post those videos. However, we should not use those to judge Alizee's performance. Most of those videos where recorded using phones or regular video recorder which are not equipped to capture the true fidelity of the performance. You need a professional-type video recorder, just like what they use in concerts or tv stations in order to do that.

True true...

I know a good one now. The Acoustic TV5 Monde live performances were good J'en Ai Marre, Psychedelices, Par Les Paupieres, Mad Juliette. I think she did J'en Ai Marre the best on the show...simply amazing

Want to know a good live performance she did that she was on pitch/key?

J'en Ai Marre on Acoustic TV5 Monde
