French vs english
This is my very first post.
 I live in usa. And a friend showed me alizèe video for all the wrong reasons if you know what I mean. I was blown away by her looks, voice and dancing. I have since purchased both cds and love to listen to them eventhough I don't understand them. Funny thing is I got to wondering just what the heck was being said, so I looked up english words to the songs as well as a couple of videos where alizèe herself sings in english and I have to tell you to me they were just not as good in english. I found the french version sooo much sexier and fun to listen to than the english version. Is this just me? I know that she is coming out with a new cd soon and I am dreading it if it comes out in english. any thoughts from anyone?

Welcome to our forums!
Yes, I'm pretty sure that everyone agrees that the french version is way better. The english versions were first in french and got translated and everyone knows that you can't really translate a song into another language and have it still keep its rimes, meaning, word play etc.

Hi lyceus, thank you for your introduction and welcome to the forum !
I agree the French songs sound better than the English versions. French is a beautiful language and I think Alizée sings better and with more emotion in her native language.

your r right zack that's a smack!!!! we love french songs even thought we know little bit of french.... but french is a easy language to learn as compared to the english language, alizee is a good singer in french language that sound's pretty good... as we are listening to English music daily we get bored of hearing the same song but listening to different languages keeps our mind to relax, french....french...french...C'mon i want more songs from alizee... but  the latest album must release in both in french and english languages......

Welcome to the forums. I think the reason we like French versions better because we listen to english all day long. A little bit of French lightens the day up.

I think her songs would be great in English *IF* they were written for the English language. The only translated songs of hers I really like are Amelie and Youpidoo. The others just seem to have "slapped-on" lyrics to me.
