Over the years, I think some of the great songs, were songs about a person's life experiences so I anticipate very good things. It's way too soon to give up on this album.

By the way, what were all the songs from her first two albums that Alizee gave Mylene Farmer ideas for. I'm sure JPVA and Lou ou Toi and maybe Toc de mac were. Was Coeur deja pris one?

Judging by the French comments I've read in disgust all over the internet yesterday - ChartsinFrance, Sony Jive's Facebook, etc. - I highly doubt this single or album will be successful in France. The French really live up to their stereotype as snobbish, rude, jerks and they don't seem to respect Alizee. It would not surprise me at all if Alizee sells more albums in Mexico OR the U.S. than she does in France.

France do seem to embrace American artists though - the ones we consider real garbage like Usher, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, etc. They probably love Britney Spears. The French aren't finicky; they just have horrible taste.

I agree. They have "horrible taste" except for arts, architecture, food, fashion, etc.

she said SOME of the stuff was, not the whole album.


But I do think this first single is about her own stuff.

Good one Aaron.

As I mentioned before I like this song. It's certainly not a top 10, but if they mold the other ballad type songs along the same lines, I'm sure they'll have some good ones. I thought they would use one of their top songs to release first, but the fact that they didn't, doesn't bother me at this point.

Though it's not a top 10, I think this song could do well with a good video and as far as that video is concerned, I could see it starting off in the fishbowl of Paris, where things are so congested,where things went south in her marriage, where she is under a spotlight, then her escaping to Corsica; maybe showing her driving along the coast in a convertible sports car, her hair blowing in the wind (sound familiar?), or strolling along the beaches, the streets of Ajaccio or out at Blood islands.

In real life, her tatoos may be part of her escaping, but trying to show that in a video I dont think would quite work

I was so excited that Alizee sent me email!! I entered my email address on the Official page, and Sony (France) sent me a letter afterward. Unfortunately, all I see in that letter is reams and reams of HTML source. There are no clear links to a music clip and the one phrase in the whole message that looks like a link initiates a nonsense email. How did all of you get this to work?

[Merci Alizée]

This song reminds me somewhat of Bleu Noir.

Edit:

Check first post.

If they make song into a music video. I imagine it more like Parlor tout bas.....more of a recollection video. Perhaps an image of Alizee looking thru images of her life, photo albums, past experiences, highlights, etc. Saying goodbye to her previous life and looking forward to her new life. Remember, she already had a song much like this one, and people loved it. Perhaps, she wanted this song released first for reasons we all know, and love about her.
