I Could Be Shot For This But...

Now I have three albums I can listen to straight through. It's great.

I agree!! Ive only really ever encountered like maybe 1 or 2 songs by her that I didn't care for. Which is a major feat. Alizée rules!!

Actually, now that I think of it, that skipping issue only comes up when I'm playing all my music shuffled; I don't often listen to an album straight through, but I skip a lot less when I do that.

OK, I will also confess. There is one Alizée song that I routinely skip, Abracadabra. There, I said it. I feel better now... And ocasionally I skip Veni Vedi Vici. (Don't hate me)

I don't skip any songs on MCE. Oh wait, if I have the international version playing, I usually skip "I'm fed Up" and "I'm Not Twenty".

I never shuffle songs. For some reason I've always prefered to play them in the order they were intended. I can't explain why.

I usually just start the albums on my itunes and let them play, I rarely go back to switch the songs. The only time I do if I am really in the mood for a few songs. I also play them in order like you, I think its just that I am used to them in that order and I like to hear them that way.

I've only heard MJ all the way through but I was certainly very favorably impressed by all the new song samples on the official web site. Perhaps even delighted or giddy. I am impatiently waiting for my copy of the CD to arrive!

So, are you avoiding the full songs on myspace.com/alizeeofficiel on purpose (some people here are), or do you just not know about it?

After all, all of us fans have been badgering her to come back for quite a while now. It's like talking someone into something and then not backing them up when the time comes.

I have come to this forum almost every day for the past year, emploring Alizée to come back, watching her videos, listening to her music, and just plain enjoying the hell out of talking about her with fellow fans. I figure that's worth the price of 1 CD, even if I hated it.

I would respectfully reply that I owe her nothing. I don't "owe" any musician anything, regardless of who they are. I buy music based on whether I like it - nothing more. (Not even considering that, to my knowledge, no other radio DJ in the United States was playing her songs).

And I have never badgered her to return. As someone who only discovered her in 2006, I never felt like I was "waiting" for a return.

Ryan Adams is one of my favorite musicians, but I don't plan on buying all of his albums. Jacksonville City Nights, for example, is just far too country to interest me. It's not a genre I enjoy, so I'm leaving that one alone. I don't owe it to him to buy that CD, just like I don't owe it to Alizée to buy her new album.

People's tastes don't always mesh with that of musicians. To my ear, this new Alizée album isn't very interesting. I'll pass. If she comes out with something I like in the future, great. But, in the meantime, I'm not forcing myself to listen to an album out of a misguided sense of obligation.

But as I said before, I am glad for those who ARE enjoying the new songs.

if i may be so bold, DJ_Greg, i think your new girlfriend got to your head.

and i suggest you listen to Lily Town again!

Blasphemy!! VVV is one of her best songs. It's actually my third most played Alizée song! (Which also makes it third overall)
