TATTOOZEE ... Do you like her the same?

[Taxi Driver Aaron]

Do you like Alizée as much as you did before her tattoos?

Edit... at the 70% mark I got lazy and typed "shoulder tats" ... I was referring to the bird under the arm and part of sailor moon on the other arm... close enough....

[Scruffydog777]

I think that's a difficult question in it's present form. I think it needs to be broken down into two parts. The first being, "Do you like the person Alizee any less?". The second being, " Do you like the singer Alizee any less?".

As much as I question, criticize and struggle to understand what she's been doing, I sure don't like her any less. She may look like a gangsta on the outside, but to me, she's still a princess on the inside.

Will I love the singer any less or I think a more accurate question is, will I like the music any less? I don't really know at this point. I've mentioned several times in here that I mostly listen to her music as opposed to watching it, but in the past, I've watched her videos so many times, I can still picture her clear as day, when I'm listening to her, so her physical beauty is a large part of why I enjoy "listening" to her.

I tend to think the tatoos will have a big affect on how much I enjoy her new music. I still might enjoy her new album very much, but I think it's very likely even if I do, I wont be listening to these new songs for 5 1/2 years in a row as I have with her first 2 albums. She will have lost an important element that in my book, has set her far apart from any other singer I've listened to over the years and that is her princess like beauty.

I am kind of curious to see if she makes a video similar to ACC at least as far as the clothes she wears what my reaction will be. If all the tatoos are covered up, will that be enough for me to enjoy some of her new songs as much as those on the first 2 albums, or will knowing what's underneath still matter? Will seeing that princess like facade that meant so much to me, slowly destroyed, reduce my perception of her down to just another pretty singer? I guess I'll find that out in january.

Scruffy... I think you're over complicating it. If you like her as a person, then the tattoos don't matter... if you have second thoughts about her beauty, then the tattoos obviously do matter; at least to some extent!... the question is, how much!

[Scruffydog777]

No it's not that complicated. Susan Boyle has a great voice. If it had been her in that jam suit, I would have been one and done as far as listening. A tremendous part of why I enjoyed Alizee's music was her physical beauty and the beauty of her dancing. She is losing the type of beauty that appealed to me and except for Les Enfoires, there has been no dancing that can come close to comparing to the dances of her early years.

It's almost like talking about a completely different singer. The only thing that's the same is the voice. I love that voice, but I don't know if the music that will be with this new album will be enough to win me over to the new Alizee. I'm hoping it will. I'm optimistic, but until january rolls around, I wont know.

[Merci Alizée]

It seems that I should choose all those options, although it's not possible.

[Karin]

easy... no change I respect her, when she wants tattoos then ok... I understand

[Scruffydog777]

How could you put tolerated Annily? I think that should be removed. Tatoos are one thing, but that's not right.

There needs to be another selection. I still love Alizée the person but I hate the tattoos due to their being are a real determent to who she is.

Like I've said before Tinkerbell didn't bother me because that is the immaturity that is Alizée. Everything after that is just too much as Scruffydog has pointed out. You have to remember those of us older members don't look at tattoos as art we look at them as something that a stripper or person of lower class up bringing does.

I'd say half my employees have tattoos and they don't bother me because they're not covering their whole bodies with them. A small one on a shoulder, wrist, ankle or calf is kind of cute. What Alizée has done is not cute. The lizard is cute, Tinkerbell is cute, the rest are not cute and in fact they take away from her natural beauty. Maybe putting a matching lizard on the other ankle would have been an option. These animated characters are really a turn off to a lot of people.

If it wasn't for me being into Alizée the person due to her personality and singing, and I was one of those guys that was infatuated in her due to her looks, I'd have been gone a long time ago. These tattoos will have little effect on her REAL fans but there is that segment of her fan base it will have a major negative impact on their loyalty.

If I think of the times when there was no doubt, and you clicked on the j'en ai marre music video and enjoyed every moment without questioning, then I can't say that I love her or that she is beautiful. And just to question if she is still beautiful is some kind of doubt.
Thats my honest opinion. Just watched the music video and saw this thread. She is pretty and I like her when I only watch new stuff, but when I have the comparison when I watch JEAM it's just nothing, 'cause "this" Alizée was just pure magical, imo. Nothing like today.
If you see it different, good for you, but I would lie to myself if I would say that she is perfect. She was perfect for me years ago, she is still the best, but just because there is no one better.
Just my 2 cents.

Spot on Vive, nice one.
