Alizée Trivia
Hi everyone,
I have an Alizée trivia question for you all to think about! In this year's Les Enfoires show, one of the songs was Envole Moi. Who can tell me what connection Alizée has to this song? |

Hi, Bamagirl!
I know almost nothing about French music (except for Alizée obviously), so the only thing I could do was to read this song translation and the only thing I can think of is that it may represent the opposite of Alizée's view. I mean, she would never fly away from Ajaccio. You know, her Paradisula. Anyway, it's a good song.

Well, I did find this. Otherwise, I draw a blank.

We have a winner!
I think this really demonstrates what a good voice she does have and I think after she left MF, she did not spend enough time working on that voice. I think the thing she missed the most when she left them was their management skills, someone to tell her whether it was to do with her own albums or Les Enfoires or guest shows, to not to sing such and such a song or put more emphasis on certain songs. |

Then again, we all have consistently graded Alizee's singing ability as "good" or "very good", but never "great", and that is fine with me. |

I bought this years Les Enfoires dvd and I enjoyed the show. They had some new faces with very good voices, but at this point, I don't know if I'll add any of those songs to my play list. Sometimes it takes listening to a song 2 or 3 songs before it really grabs you.
This is a show I'd really like to see again even with Alizee not in it, but then again, seeing so many artists who have performed with Alizee would remind me she isn't in it and for that reason, I could not do it. |

I've always thought that Alizée has a specific voice like, for example, Michael Bublé, Springsteen or Sting. I'm not comparing Alizée to living legends like the last two of them but by this I mean that this type of singers can obviously sing a lot of different songs and be "ok" with them, but they do their very best in their "range". For example Sting is awesome in slow songs.
This is what I saw from her performances in which she is not singing her songs. Sometimes she does not sound that great (for example in English songs, even though I really like her accent), but when she finds the song that fits her, she is amazing as always. Even though I listen to many different singers, I've never studied anything about music or voice-related things, but you seem very interested in the subject matter, so could you tell me more specifically about her voice and if I'm correct? Quote:
In fact in Italy we have a singer called Mina, which in my opinion is the best female voice we have (don't know if she is famous out of Italy), that at one point of her career decided to leave TV shows and concerts. Now her voice is amazing and untouched by time (this should be sure because I also heard it from experts in some documentaries).

I had mentioned that Alizee seems most comfortable in the alto or low soprano octaves. I remembered there was a name for low soprano and I had to Google it, and it is called mezzo-soprano. Guess who sings mezzo-soprano? Madonna. That's why Alizee sings La Isla Bonita so well. I would venture to say that Alizee could sing all of Madonna's songs and sound great. Being that Madonna was her favorite artist as a kid, I can imagine Alizee was singing and dancing along with Madonna videos. |

I'm far from knowledgeable about music or voices, but what I can offer opinions on is what pleases me and what impresses me and what doesn't and I'm quick to offer both sides of those opinions, even with Alizée.
Unfortunately, time limits me in what I can say, especially on days when I work such as today but one example I want to point out was a performance of Tal's Le Sens de la Vie that she sang with Jenifer in Les Enfoires. This was I think a fairly good fit for her voice. Still, I think Jenifer's performance might have been better, until a point at about the: 37 to the: 42-second mark where her voice shows a beauty, a specialness that she has, that we don't see often enough and that far surpasses Jenifer's. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the video on Youtube, but I added a Google drive video link to the whole performance and an audio link to the specific moment I'm talking about. Tomorrow, I hope to add another example. https://drive.google.com/file/d/19-j...ew?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-P-...ew?usp=sharing Alizee sens de la vie.jpg Last edited by Scruffydog777; 08-23-2019 at 11:08 AM.. |
