 A Good Year (Alizée made her debut with the single Moi... Lolita, her most successful to date ... The song was later used in the UK trailer of the 2006 film, A Good Year, and was a part of the film's soundtrack.)

I wonder if it isn't too much trouble to list each word in the opening post in alphabetical order perferably. As this goes on it will be tougher and tougher to check to see which words have and haven't been used.
Rockollection which Alizee was a part of in the Les Enfoires 2001 show There were at one time, 2 versions of this performance on Youtube. One was the full version which included several other singers and then there was a better one where someone edited out everyone except Alizee. I couldn't find either one on Youtube. Either they got pulled for copyright violations or maybe whoever posted them before had their account closed by YT or maybe themselves. But I found this other video on another channel, which is about 22 minutes long and unfortunately has Arabic subtitles, but it includes other parts of the show with some more glimpses of Alizee. Rockollection starts at about the 5:40 mark. http://ok.ru/video/348935686700 Here's a link to the shorter video in my Google drive that isn't the best resolution but has English and French subtitles. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iqq...ew?usp=sharing Last edited by Scruffydog777; 12-29-2017 at 09:56 AM..

Watching Alizee perform in this 2001 video makes me think she would have been a huge hit in the USA even though she couldn't speak English. Her charm and stage presence would have blown America away. She would have pickup enough fans to carry her 5th album into profitability. I wonder why she never played America?

Then Amelie came along which had an excellent English version that I'm sure would have done well here , but at that point, she had apparently made her decision to split from MF/LB. You are right that her charm and her stage presence would have blown away people in this country. I remember when I first found out about her back in 2007, I put together a video dvd of her performances and brought into work one day. I played it on a morning when everyone used to like to watch music videos on tv and I put it on without telling everyone what it was and they were giving me a hard time when I started this but then for the next few hours as they watched it over and over again, nobody could take their eyes off that screen. When I went home, I left it for them to keep watching and I had a few complaints the next day because someone had taken the disc home with them, but I had plenty more. The one thing that hurt in time them sustaining their watching her was her lack of good English songs. EDIT: I have to add that whenever Alizee has done well, I've sung her highest praises and when she's done poorly, she's heard it loud and clear from me and I have to say that if MF had done a good job of translating jam, jpva, and youpidou, then after her En Concert tour, performed the exact same concert in New York, singing these 3 English songs instead of the French ones, along with the English version of Amelie, maybe only changing the order of the songs to at least start off with an English song, I think she would've been an overnight sensation. The combination of MF/LB songs, her voice, her beauty, her dancing and her charm would've taken this country by storm. All the ingredients were there for an incredible show, but it just wasn't to be. I kind of wonder how she would've felt on stage in NY? Would she have been as sure of herself as she was in Europe or would she have been tentative and nervous as she appeared to be in Korea?

I don't think Alizee initially needed to do a tour in the USA to make her mark, and I don't think her music alone played on the radio would have done it. People had to see her perform. They had to SEE HER. Once they saw her, she would be a smash. I am convinced that all she needed was a few TV appearances and that would have done it. There was no need for her songs to be in English. Plenty of foreign language tunes have made it big in America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C35D...LbY4pnvRnJIeVi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La4D...nJIeVi&index=6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wWi...nJIeVi&index=7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO7c...LbY4pnvRnJIeVi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsDf...nJIeVi&index=9 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZk...LbY4pnvRnJIeVi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jp6j...JIeVi&index=12 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-2R...JIeVi&index=14 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naAC...JIeVi&index=21 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bsg7...JIeVi&index=24 Last edited by Shepherd; 12-30-2017 at 02:21 PM..
