Now, sure, some actors, like those in Star Trek, still play on those roles that they did decades ago and were famous for, but I guess Alizée didn't see it that way. She was pretty young for one thing and didn't have any peers involved in the same endeavor for another. So, her situation was different. I guess that doesn't matter though for what the people want, just for what feels right to her.

Roman, when you refer to Star Trek actors still doing the same roles, do you mean like when they show up at those sci-fi fan conventions to make a couple bucks? Isn't that just the most pathetic thing in the galaxy?

So should she live her life and focus on what she wants or succumb to overly greedy fans and what they want?

And if she did do JEAM again do people honestly think it is going to compare to how it was then? It would sound different, her clothes and appearance would be very different and her heart would not be in it.

Good answer, Helix, I totally and heartily agree!

Yes, whether she chooses JEAM or not, her concert would be a good one to attend.

Merci, Merci Alizée! Hiya!

Right on, Outlaw. Are you in the pineapple state now? If so, wow! Way t'go!


Ultimately, the "Acoustic" performance of JEAM impressed me as being Lili's farewell version of the song. My humble opinion is a very confident NO, she will never again don the sailor suit for this song, nor will she ever do the "night elf" dance again, either. That's what youtube's for, so people should go watch the old performances there if that's what they're really hung up on. Or, better yet, they should invent a nice personal time machine, cause they're already livin' in the past. Meanwhile Alizée's been trying her hardest to reestablish herself as an artist of the present, and (hopefully) the future.

How come no one's clamoring for her to do "I'm Not Twenty" again? Because I think you all realize that it would appear ridiculous. The same would apply to this song as well.

Exactly! Very, very good point there... the only way we will see JEAM again in the future is in a radically altered version (like the one she performed on the acoustic show a couple of years ago). This way she can come to a compromise in order to satisfy the fans who want to hear one of their favourite songs again, but also not revert back to the Lolita image she has tried so hard to distance herself from these past years. Although I, like most people on his forum I imagine, prefer the original JEAM to the subsequent Psyhédélices remastering, I understand totally why she feels she wants to perform it in such a radically different way. Anyone who still wishes she would perform it in the boots with the dance needs to accept that she's a grown woman now, and like Helix said, seeing her perform the song in the original style wouldn't compare to how she did it in 2003, and wouldn't feel right at all- for both her and her fans.

Well, this was quite an amazing thread earlier this year. And I found it while trying to find the thread for my 3000th post...and so hopefully this bump will help some newer people read it. Hope you enjoy

I'm not set into this, but even if she does I doubt it'll be with the dress and high shoes. It'll be more like the acoustic version that she did recently (2006-2007?) but with more of "it".

As much as I'd like to see her do it one final time I think she's put the dress and shoes in the closet to stay there.
