i'm not sure what to say about it...i thought it was too static in the beginning but when they broke out the dance, it was rather weird. i don't know if i like the dances.

i dunno... the whole fighting thing and weird dance moves left a wtf? face on me at the end.

Man, I really think you are stuck in the Moi Lolita world! She has left this far behind. The static, as u refer to it, is actually resembling a record player ( u remember vinyl?) and the dance is just what it is dude,,,, bizzare, just as her mentor Mylene taught her. Funny, Alizee wanted to split from Mylene, so not to be associated with her and now shes fallen into her bizzare behavior.

I think "static" here is used by heyamigo in the sense of "not dynamic", as in all the people not moving at the beginning.

And, yes, there is a strong "vinyl"/retro feel to the audio, starting with the vinyl static at the beginning, through the DJ jamming to the beat at the beginning of the confrontation scene, and out to the end where you can hear the needle skipping because it has hit the end of the record.

I don't think the dance is necessarily "bizarre" but, rather, stylized combat.

BTW, did anyone else notice them slipping in a few tecktonik moves in the "parallel rehearsal" scenes before the pliés?

She is still beautiful and the expressions that melt hearts are there, but I wasn't real excited by this video. Then again, I never was a big fan of any videos, the live performances is where Alizee seems to shine.

I think he said "hear" static. Just realized, there may be some people who have never heard a record do that before, eh? I don't know what tecktonik is, but they had a discussion about that over at AA too.

I'm enjoying this video more and more, and not because of the complex interpretations, nice as they are. Just sitting back and watching it. The song especially is well served by the longer version. The middle section's given time to grow, the chorus is repeated enough to catch on... It really is so, so much better.

DAM!


My head 'sploded again!


I love reading the interpretations, but i'm going to stick with my(favorite) thought that the girl dressed in black is fate.

Indeed. Now I'm curious which version is actually gonna show up on the album: the radio edit or the video edit...

Based on this, I'd say the later but without the little intro noises:

ZOMG! YOIKES and all that! "never heard a record hit the end".... man, poor deprived young tykes.......

I think HA was saying static as in not dancing..... Just have to say, I am going absolutely bugf**K waiting for this album. When I go to the page with the sound samples, i get nothing, nada, zilch..... I've used both Mozilla and IE... I'm just gonna have to be patient...... I don't really do patient very well......... its one of my (many) failings.....
