I guess we know the answer to this now I'm surprised she performed the original version, even more with (more or less) the original dance! We'll have to wait til the 1st of July to see how much she looks like she's enjoying it.

I'm not. It appears from the rumor mill that she's going back to her roots and doing pop with movement, rather than experimenting with totally new directions. I think that's smart, if what she wants is to be a commercial success with her next album. The new versions were attempts to put her old hits to new formats and sounds, and honestly I don't think they ever quite worked. If she's going to sing her old songs, singing them the way she did before is the way to do it.

The clip we saw was not very good (I mean, all the fans singing along, I couldn't hear Alizée's voice, and that's the one I would want to hear), but I could see that the dance was the same one, but it seemed more elegant, more grown-up, more -- I don't know. Maybe it's the clothes. No sailor suit this time. Plenty sexy, but not so much exposed skin. Less blatant.

That we will, but my feeling is that she's enjoying it a lot. I also have a feeling this is preparing the ground for her new album, getting people acquainted with her again as a performer.

I was very surprised because it seems recently she's been doing all she can to distance herself from the image of the first 2 albums (eg performing new arrangements of old songs, no dancing) so a change of attitude such as this took me unawares. But as you say, it's probably a good move as these are the songs, arrangements and dances she's best remembered for and if she wants to stay current in France the only way possible (at the moment) may be to continue milking past successes. That is UNTIL she gets the formula right with a new album that's a decent hit.

Totally agree... it's her saying "remember me? Get a load of what I used to and can still do before I'm done with my new album". It proves that she's certainly not thinking of retiring from music (as I've heard hinted at a few times recently).

I couldn't agree more. I sing along with her recorded music all the time, but if I'm there listening to her live, her voice is the only voice I'd want to hear. There's one guys voice on this video that is absolutely horrible. Maybe we have to thank him for filming this if he was the one filming it, but I think if I was standing next to him when Alizee was singing and all I could hear was his voice,well...................they'd be building another Bastille to room me in for the rest of my stay in France.

As far as the performance, I got goosebumps listening and watching her perform JPVA. Can't wait for the actual show. It was great to hear her sing these songs to pretty much the orinal music. Then to see her dancing again..........too much.

I totally agree. Chills were going up my spine when I heard her (backtrack) sing and dance so melodiously

Although a quick performance, at least this time the dancers were not vulgar. Alizée was presented with the level of style that she deserves.

Yeah, I'm glad the dancers actually looked classy, unlike last time...
