[Poll] What is your favorite Alizée album cover?

Feel free to discuss your reasoning.

Bonus question for the comments: Since there's too many options to list, what's your favorite cover for an Alizée single?

I voted for 5 because it's the only cover I have that's autographed.

But if the question was 'best' cover, I'd probably say Psychedelices because of the work that went into it, and the meanings she is conveying.

My first choice would be Blonde, it resembles the work of a painter Edvard Munch:

But this Blondizee pic looks better http://alizee-leffet.weebly.com/uplo...55490_orig.jpg
because it's a kind of contrast to that Edvard Munch's picture because of a smile, while his picture is a scream, and this tattoo of a small heart is very cute and somehow fits perfectly into this whole picture. But this image was chosen for the single, though.

After that, I think it would be MCE. It looks a kind of good, artistic.

Don't be lazy and post the pictures here (or open a new thread) ...
not all of them, but make a choice of them, let's say 10-15 ...

This was a hard decision for me, and it came down to a choice between Psych and MCE. I like the colorful design of Psych, and the only thing better than Alizée is two Alizées, right?

But ultimately it was the simplicity and neatness of MCE that won me over. It's the least "busy" cover of the lot. First, there's just a simple background with nothing to detract your attention from the subjects of the cover. Then you have the black high-heeled shoe (with no extraneous details), and Alizée looking as adorable as she ever has (and taking up less cover space than ever, which hides details and keeps things looking clean and simple). Now how you interpret the image is up to you. Is the shoe really large, or is the shoe just normal shoe-sized and Alizée really tiny? Or is it just the relative size difference that matters symbolically? Maybe it doesn't mean anything at all if you don't want it to. In any case, it's concise. The cover also uses the negative space of the background to frame the iconic "Alizée" logo (the best version, IMO), and the album name in classy script. The text looks like it was always meant to be there, not just photoshopped on later as an afterthought. But it doesn't just end there, the album title isn't a finality, it's followed by an ellipsis, which to me suggests that the really important part is what awaits inside.



Alright, maybe I thought about this a little too much. In any case, I stand by my choice.

I love the way this album is more mainstream and commercial sounding.
I like them all, but this one, for me, is just the best of the bunch.

How should Alizee sound in this Blondizee picture? Maybe like this:

I voted for Gourmandises. Funnily enough, I don't think the picture even looks like Alizée. But there's nothing I don't love about it: the colors, the sunlight, the lolitaness of it, and how it reminds me of the song and video of "Gourmandises".
