I can't help but feel that people are placing an unfair amount of blame on Alizée. I understand that people are disappointed that this fall's tour isn't happening–I am too. But it's easy to project our own frustrations and act like this is all her personal fault, when in reality things are probably not so simple. We do not live in her shoes, and we do not know why she makes the decisions she does; we only see the end result. Wild conjecture does little more than breed further frustration that might very well be misguided.

I don't know the answers behind why this happened, but I trust that Alizée did exactly what she felt was the best decision for her at the time, the same as any of us do.

Yeah, but the concert in 2003/2004 would have been well worth it.

I'd gladly pay ten times the price to see THAT concert live.

only 4,254 albums sold
She could have sold double or even triple that,if she had spent ten or fifteen days doing autograph sessions across France.

I'm worried for her if Gregoire is using her to improve his career and realizes he hitched his wagon to a fading star. I really hope he is in love with Alizée because if he moves on and finds someone else, Katie bar the door, the other arm will be covered with tattoos in less than a month.

Some on here didn't think there was a problem when someone up loaded to Youtube the complete Blonde Album. 4254 albums sold and how many used a Youtube down loader to acquire the complete album for free?

I'm really wondering how many illegal down loads of Blonde there have been?

I wonder why they suddenly added 3 months.

If you're talking about me, like 5. The album I uploaded to Youtube was unlisted, meaning unless you're given the link, it couldn't be found as a search result.

I think you're just making excuses. If you think Alizee's album didn't sell because people downloaded it off Youtube, then I don't know what to say. Once again, they didn't try very hard to market Blonde, and it only had 2 singles.

This is going to sound extremely bitchy, but honestly at this point, I think it's embarrassing for her to keep making albums. 3 failed albums in a row...even indie artists sell more than 5k.

Probably cause it would take about 2 weeks to even get to them from international fans. When I was in Strasbourg earlier this year for Les Enfoirés my sister wanted a post card from there so I mailed one out on my 2nd or 3rd day. I was in Strasbourg for a week and she didn't get it til about 1 to 1 1/2 weeks after I returned.

probably. I would make sense. If you live in Europe and return your tickets by post they might arrive in time (the longest time span of my postcards needed from France was 10 days - normally they hardly needed 3) but from the US? Or Mexico? Tricky...

It does not work like that, people who downloaded the album would not buy it if it was not possible to download it. They just don't care so much to spend money. They could also use Spotify for example.

The flop is a failure of Alizée and Sony. Nobody else.
