ARGH! My work computer doesn't have the version of Flash this particular video seems to want (though every other Flash anything works perfectly, of course), so I can't watch it for 8 more hours.

Torture, I tell you!

She does look awesome, I'll agree on that, but the whole krumping thing kind of came out of nowhere.

Ah very nice video so different, which in my opinion is good. Maybe the Black and pink is symbolizim of her way of showing the struggle to break free just a guess. Anywho I love it, Romeo looking in on his Juliet and maybe seeing two of them? not knowing what to do just throwing some random thoughts around in the air but I thought the video was cool and kind of edgy.

Now what a strange video... it's good visually, but I'm not sure what to make of it from an interpretation stance... and like everyone here, I agree she looks very pretty. Btw, is the tinkerbell on her back a permanent tattoo??

(funny... the bathtub scene sort of reminded me of "libertine" )

Undoubtedly there may be more layers of meaning to the video, but let me point out what some of the more obviouse aspects are.

The reason why Romeo hardly figured into the video is because Romeo hardly figures into the song. The song is about the relationship between Juliette, Shakespeare, and the unresponsive world that Shakespeare creates for Juliette to play out her tragedy. Juliette (as played by Alizée) acts as a young, wide-eyed girl eager to enjoy the petits plaisirs in life (being distracted by the plate of candies, also a nice alusion to Gourmandises). However the other members of the courtly families are stagnant and unresponsive to both each other and their surroundings, but also in particular to Juliette (notice how Juliette pokes and prods them to no effect). The video, mostly depicts the party scene of Romeo and Juliette, which ultimately sets off a chain of events that leads to open violence between the fueding Capulets (I think represented by pink) and Montegues (black, but I might have that backwards). We are left with a West Side Story-esque (which was based on Romeo and Juliette) dance/fight scene between the two houses.

So, those are the major elements that jump out at me on the first viewing.

That's def Lili! That black-dressed girl is lili.

Because, she A. has the tatoo, B. Is wearing sneakers and Alizee loves sneakers, and almost imitates the stances of J'en ai marre and JPVA dances with the fact that she puts her hands on her hips, palms touching waist, arms slightley bent; her common beginning stance (done subconciously once the music is playing and when they KRUMP haha)

I looove how lili takes some cake when shes holding hands and being SERIOUSLY directed to follow the black girl and everythings SO SERIOUS!! And lili.. she just takes a piece of cake Lili control your gourmandises!!

No .. I don't think so. Her tattoo is a giant Tinkerbell, remember?
