It's hard to watch her in performances like these, though. She seems very uncomfortable to me.

Interesting observation. I wonder if she has any type of fear when defending her own material.

In any case, I mentioned before that I have always found Alizée’s live performances to be average at best and most often subpar. I also mentioned that her voice did seem to have improved as of late... Well, I am sorry to say this, but honestly, this rendition is really not even close to be of professional caliber. Alizée might have a nice voice as far as it being soothing with an interesting timber and delivery, but she is either technically limited, or she needs more training and/or confidence.

Yea they were having fun, but her voice sounded flat and the acoustic guitar sounded off key or the singing was off key at times or both. It just wasn't in sink.When the instruments are guitars, especially acoustic with no percussion, any imperfections stand out. It really takes a tight ensomble to pull it off and they just didn't get it done to perfection. I feel really bad for Alizee.

Nice little performance, very enjoyable and fun to watch. Excellent work from the musicians, it is not the easiest song to play in acoustic with all the strings used in the album version, they did a very good job. I like the little percussion the guitarist added using his left foot during many parts of the song. With headphones is even better.
The other (good looking) girl also provides good backing vocals and good energy with her moves.

spot on Corsaire! Probably one of the best critics I've read so far.

Edit:

Oh BTW, Alizée makes a mistake @2:37 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHykGmGUa7k

She barely knows her songs by heart... :/

and I thought I was the only one who noticed... well it's not the first time she's mixing up lyrics. Remember "Acoustic" when she mixed up JEAM and it was still incredibly cute? she's probably just nervous.

Oh yes, you're right! I remembered , she messed it up so badly that time, you could see the change in expression , she was like "okay just make it look like it was all planned, they don't know the lyrics anyway" .

still better make mistakes, and playing its ok and it was ever so

[lapinschous]

The funny thing is how talented she is making her mistakes go unnoticed

In 13 years, I haven't seen even one significant public blooper ^^

Karin , you should stop using online translators for complicated sentences.^^ even if ,somehow, we manage to understand what you mean, the overall meaning of the phrase is lost. Better simple than unclear.
