The other problem is her voice. Linda Ronstadt who had a beautiful voice once said she had to work on her voice all the time. I think Alizee hardly ever does and it showed in her last concert. She needs a voice coach and that falls under management.
If she had a voice coach and a good manager, I don't think she would need to sing anyone else's songs.
Here's an excerpt from one of Linda's interviews;

"......Her teacher is Marjorie Rivingston, who has worked with singers as disparate as Beverly Sills and Bette Midler. "She's articulate, with a teacher's gift for using either positive reinforcement or being brutally frank without being destructive. I see all this as a remake of '42nd Street,' where a girl comes to Broadway and desperately needs help, a teacher to show her what to do. I've learned how to do stuff in rock 'n' roll, how to hit notes without making a legit sound but using some tricks. I've learned techniques from within so that I have way more range than before without having to scream as hard. It's just so interesting. Every time I go in there, I learn how to improve a tiny bit."......."

I don't think Alize is heavily invested in her career, but that doesn't mean she needs to retire. With some work she could get her voice back on track and select tunes appropriate for her abilities. Alize doesn't have to sing original music written for her or even put out a new album. I doubt she will be a major star again, but she will always be popular. Alize could do fine with old tunes. They wouldn't put her in the top ten, but her fans would cut off an arm to see her do something different, and she will always be able to draw an audience. I'm thinking of a career similar to that of Zaz. Perhaps not the same music, but nightclubs, music videos, and an occasional TV show.
