Alizée's lyrical quirks.
I've been listening to some of her English titles and there are certain ways she says things that do something to me, I dunno what it is. For example, in "I'm not twenty" when she says "a light little stone" it's just incredibly cute and it makes me want to hug her.
Anyone else like this?

I get exactly the same thing going when watching certain performances. Here's just a few of my favorites:
J'en Ai Marre - the part where she shrugs her shoulders and lets out a little squeak at "Y'a comme un hic" I'm Not Twenty - nobody can pull of lyrics like "okey dokey!" and "boogie-woogie" but Alizée Amélie m'a dit performed Live(words cannot describe how amazing this performance is, btw, my favorite) - the part where she sings "J'suis pas belle" which as far as I know translates into something like "I'm not pretty"... the crowd starts yelling at her, and she can't help but giving out a little laugh in her next line. I'm Fed Up - At the verse that ends "I’m fed up with being fed up! Poor me !", uhuhhuh... those last two words give me chills Honorable Mentions: I'm Not Twenty - "Sing me a lullaby", does she know how dangerous that line can be on our poor impressionable little hearts!? Amélie m'a dit performed Live - pretty much any line from this song, she puts a helluva lotta emotion into it and you can really hear her voice in it this thread could go on for years, best to stop now while I'm relatively ahead... |

Another example:
In the "I'm fed up!" video, I get the same feeling when she's sitting in the corner throwing the ball and when she's throwing the camera and then wipes away the view of the camera. Chillingly beautiful is an odd, but adequate way to say it.

Now that I think about it, the entire chorus of "I'm fed up" is just awesome. The entire song of "A contre-courant" as well.

I definitely like the way she wipes the glass with the water streaming down it. I wanted to mention that in a forum before, but you beat me to it. I'll just say, I have to agree. Our girl is quite the artist. |

Hey, that's a very interesting thread for me! Keep examples coming. I'm curious to know everything that makes you giggle because I surely pronounce English exactly like she does.
