You know how they fire off weapons to honor people? Surely Alizée is worthy of an honor of this caliber! Not everybody knows that before he was a "general" (i.e. executive) officer, Napoleon was an <i>artillery</i> officer. He may have been called <i>Le Petit Caporal</i>, but all the same we think he had use of an enormous gun. Now, in discharging his weapon nearly two centuries before our favorite singer was born, he can be said to have jumped the gun. They are hardly proud of this in Corsica, where it is known as <i>premature Ajacciation</i>.

It is nice to be appreciated by someone with so long and intense a tenure at AAm as you have, Stephen. But to tell you the truth... I still had lingering doubts myself UNTIL I saw Bigdan's awesome contribution. I guess seeing really is believing!

From your remarks in Alizée vs. american pop skeeves, you might also enjoy reviewing my Web page Alizée: The return of Annette. I actually stumbled into creating it after I came upon a Web site chronicling the original Mickey Mouse Club and struck up an extended conversation with its Webmaster. (BTW, I thought the entertainers to which you refer were called "pop tarts" - basically, definition 4 at the Urban Dictionary as I write this.)

Strange ideas percolate up into my imagination on their own and that is why I keep going back to lengthy old AAm posts to supplement them with new material. In fact, I am just about to add some additional stuff to the "Gospel" to which you refer.

Docdtv,

Great comparison between Annette and Alizée. I grew up watching the Mickey Mouse Club and Annette, and watched the singers come and go throughout the years, while continuing to play professional music for the last 54 years, in addition to my day job. (I'm still at it)

It wasn't until a friend of mine in Europe put me onto Alizée that I found a singer who possessed the qualities that I found so attractive, and appealing.

I never thought about this comparison but it is a really close one and maybe more then just a mere coinidence!
