But yes, also publicity obviously: in fact she released Blonde a few months later

Granted, the French don't support their home-grown artists like they do international ones, but the whole blond hair thing was gimmicky. There are some good songs on it, but all in all is my least favorite album of hers.

But what was her motivation for going on DALS in the first place?

Publicity (i.e. promote her musical career)? Wanting to compete just for the sake of competing? Or?

Well for any star, DALS is great publicity, but that factor is even more important for a star who is struggling and Aragorn97 is right in dancing is something she wants to do, but it was rumoured and I'm sure it's true that she had been asked before season 4 to be on the show but had turned it down because they dig into your private life and she's a very private person and we saw when she was on the show, they did dig into it and we got to see a side of her we probably never would have seen otherwise.

By the way Aragorn and other new members as well, you probably know already, but I paid to have all of the shows of DALS translated, then I added English subtitles to those videos. If you or others are interested, I can share them through Google drive. In fact I'm sure others in here have the files too.

It was gimmicky. Why in the world would you want to do anything that removes from her natural beauty the way making her a blonde did?

Even so, I thought Blonde should have met with some level of success. Too much effort was spent on the song that was the theme of the album Blonde. It was an average song and quite frankly, I think the video of it was lame.

Alcaline was a song I really enjoy. It was a story of a young lady who's unhappy with her job and uses the music of her headphones (powered by alcaline batteries) to escape that world. I could envision that they could have easily have come up with a simple video that would have taken advantage of her beauty and dancing.

If you're a struggling star and you put out an album and can only come up with one video for it, when a good video can make or break an album, you shouldn't be surprised when it fails. Having only the 'Blonde' video killed the album in my opinion.

As I said, I really enjoyed Alcaline, but I don't know where she came up with the outfits she came up with that she wore while promoting it, certainly not Paris.

I put together a video using the song Alcaline, along with clips from En Concert so I could have a video I enjoyed while listening to the song.

K.O. was also a song I enjoyed.

Thank you very much!

I can only fit so many files in my Google drive so , I'll probably upload a few, then once you've downloaded them, I'll delete them, then add more.

Aragorn97 · #6 07-03-2019, 06:33 PM

Oh I see, thanks for your care. I'll download them tomorrow because now it's midnight and I'm in bed

Edit:

I don't know if this is the right thread but I didn't find a more appropriate one. Look at 1:38, when she says "he is a writer" (in French): sooooo cute!

The only other official couple that met on the show is Denitsa Ikonomova and Rayane Bensetti from the 5th season, they are still together but not married.

Other little flings happened too between stars or star and dancer but nothing that really last, for now.

I think the journalist asked her if she knew anything about mexican music. Listen to her nice answer

When Alizee rushed into the store to surprise Jessica, she almost collided with a woman on the sidewalk.

(I doubt the song was intended to be autobiographical, however.)

This question was about the song Alcaline. I'm sorry I missed it at the time. I don't it was autobiographical. This was written after Dals came along which was a good time in her life and there was no need to escape reality.

She's probably lucky she didn't give her a heart attack.
