That's always the danger when you overdo fandom...you end up expecting more of her than she is willing to give. Disappointment and resentment may follow.

Just try to keep it reasonable...but oh my, i guess some people just fall in love and can't help it nor control it...that's the thing about strong emotions.

I agree with Fenris one as a fan has to keep it reasonable for it could later lead to dissapointment, and we have seen many fans registering and being members for a while but then leaving dissapointed with the past album or works. Also we have to be very careful and control the emotions we feel towards her beacuase we clearly see the consequences as Plaz mentioned above and we could loose control of such emotions.

I believe this quote fits properly the fear in this case could be for some the emotions we show towards her, some really high hopes for the upcoming album, wanting to see an Alizee going back to the MF LB era and so on....

I understand the fans that bought concert tickets, spent money on travel plans on cancelled concerts being somewhat pissed. Even in this scenario when you break it down was it intentional or circumstances on
Alizee's part. Expectations even or especially regarding Alizee is a planned disappointment. I know as a fan wanting full success for Alizee it is very difficult to keep everything in perspective and not get disappointed. Thinking you are in love with someone you never met that is married and have a superficial understanding of the person at best is a fantastic self delusion. It is really a case of falling in lust sprinkled with genuine admiration of Alizee the person, personality and obvious charisma. True love is unconditional. The closest we humans will ever experience this is the love of a pet like a dog. They love us no matter what lol.

Uh, yeah. Anyway, Jean Fauque is not involved. I'm pretty sure she said she was talking to someone else when they decided to do the concept album.

Do you mean in this interview? This part?

I met Maripol through Mylène, and she gave me some bracelets that Madonna used to wear. I then met Jean Fauque. It wasn't until much later that I learned that they were brother and sister! They came to dinner one evening at my place, where Jean told us some of his anecdotes, and I understood that "Fifty Sixty" was about these people from New York City. I liked the theme and the lyrics, so we said, why not make an album around Edie Sedgwick, from the Warholian universe?

Sounds like the idea came about during a dinner with Jean and his sister. That's why I wonder if he's involved.

Yeah, Sabatier lists some of the songs cut for space in his interview with http://justalizee.com:

"Variété Française" de Jeremy Chatelain… Et "People Have the Power" de Patti Smith, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" de Nirvana : d'autres tubes… Qu'elle connaissait aussi.

Some other interesting stuff there, check it out: http://alizeegourmandises.free.fr/technikart.htm.

He talks more about the cover shoot. One thing no one's mentioned here was that it was designed fit the theme of the whole issue ("mainstream music"), not just Alizée. Like a Virgin was Sabatier's first choice, but he also liked the idea of doing Michael Jackson's Off the Wall ("l'idée de voir une jeune fille blanche reprendre la pose d'un homme noir me semblait assez provocante et facétieuse").


In other news, the issue is sold out on Journaux. Guess that's good, though hope I got enough for everybody.

For those interested, www.Justalizee.com interviewed Benoît Sabatier, editor of the special issue with Alizée of Technikart. They asked him about the interview with Alizée.

Thank you to everyone for the thoughts and translations.
So far, this thread has been a terrific read for me.
