Default A book about Alizée!!!!

Hey I was really thinking hard about this.
If we had to write a book about Alizée, her life, her career, a biography of an artist by her fans, how would we do so?
I am inviting all kind of suggestions about this from the forum members.

I honestly don't think we could....

Biographies are usually fairly personal and open... something Alizée is not. I don't think we could write more than what's already on the AAm homepage and Wikipedia.

It's just my opinion though, I just don't think we are the ones to write about Her.

What I'd like to see is her autobiography, and to read about what she's comfortable with sharing.

If I could ask her one single question, it would be about why she split up with Mylène and Laurent. I mean, the collaboration with them would probably have guaranteed her more success (not to mention she wouldn't have lost some fans because of a shift in her music), so anyone else would have just stuck with his/her "mentors".

That is by far the most intriguing question about Alizee's career. This is basically the root of the differences in opinion amongst us fans. The Lolita image and the new(soon to be old) Psychedelices Alizee..

It really doesn't seem logical that she left them. She was so frickin popular when she was with them!! Now before any of you rip me to pieces with the "she wants to make her own album" statement, I'm just saying, that it'll be nice to hear the actual answer from her in depth.

Cuz hell, I wouldn't mind it at all if she had stayed with them! And I'm one of the newer fans too.

Thing is... I don't think there is much "depth" to the answer. Alizée does what she wants, and she wanted to leave them. She's said that and I don't really think there's much more to it.

Also we keep saying how "popular" she was with Mylene and Laurent, but if you look at the something like 75% drop in sales between Gourmandises and MCE, the separation's not so illogical. I doubt Psych would have done much better even if she had stuck with them.

Even if I like a few songs from Psychédélices, no song made a big impression on me. I am sure I would like something composed by LB a lot more.

On the other hand, I think Mylène is a bit of a freak (or at least very controversial) and hell knows what she wanted Alizée to do (it was Mylène who worked on her choreography and chose her outfits, right ??). Maybe that's the reason why Alizée thought it was enough. Her image didn't reflect what she was really like (JEAM and other sexy performances come into my mind).

I read somewhere that it didn't sell as well as the first one, but I had no idea the difference was that big. For me, they're just as good (well, almost).

That might be true.. but if it was that simple...
I mean, I remember when she was asked about Mylene (wayyyy before they spit) all she said was "joker".

Now that strongly entices my curiosity.

Cool

Yep, I got that book! Bought it in Paris. I was so happy. It's weird to see her face on a book cover in a store. Mexico has her in newspapers and magazines too. So cool to come across anything Alizee.
