Oh, could you point me in the direction of that one? ty!

was it this?



NOW THIS IS A PERFORMANCE!!!!! THIS I THE ALIZÉE I'M TALKING ABOUT!!

girls climbing on dudes with masks...

The only thing missing is the set with the couches...

i liked it a lot because it was just HER out in front. rather than being surrounded by other dancers and such.

I spent a lot of the time admiring the dancers who were in the video with her. I must have watched one of her other earlier videos "Alizée en concert" at least a 100 times. If you were to put all the dancers that were in her concert video in a police line up, I don't think I could pick one out, but I could describe the ones in her new video in high definition. So I think there is a problem with the way she is being packaged. Someone who is as ancient as Madonna, needs to surround herself with beautiful dancers, but Alizée is still a very young and beautiful woman. She doesn't need anyone else on the stage with her if the packaging is right.
I don't like the way she has been wearing her hair since the start of her comeback. First of all, it looks like she has colored it in some way. Then when I was at her autograph session in Paris back in december, It looked like she had put the hair on the side of her head on an ironing board, sprayed it with starch, pressed it, then sprayed on a couple of coats of laquer. It still looked beautiful as you can see in some of the pictures I had posted back then but it took away from her natural beauty . Look at her hair in her concert video. It looks like she just washed it, dried it, brushed it and walked out on stage. No coloring, no curling, no hair spray and it looked so awesome. One of her recent hairdos looked like something she stole from Jane Hathaway.
The next thing is the way she's been dressing for her new appearences. It looks like Uncle Festus is her wardrobe manager! She doesn't need to wear revealing outfits like she did for Moi Lolita in Amsterdam or J'ia pas vingt ans or J'en ai marre. The outfits she wore when she sang A contre Courant or Ella Ella or Gourmandises or any of her concert outfits looked so great.
One other thing about the tatoo on her back. What was she thinking?
Maybe she doesn't care if the audience watches her or her dancers. Maybe she really loves her new look and doesn't care if changing it might attract more fans. If she's happy with it, then that's all that matters, but I think after being on such a high plateau that she was on before, she liked to see a lot more success that she's enjoying now and if that's the case, she needs to lose Uncle Festus.

Well she loves Tinkerbell. And last I checked it's HER body so she got a tattoo of her hero? I guess.
I'm sure we both can agree Alizée would be one of those good girl celebrities. And if she's one of those she obviously wouldn't care much about her looks. If she wanted a bigger audience she'd have to expose herself but she never will and we love her because of that

Myself, I like it.

well thats the thing she once had it; but recently she hasn't had it again. I think the concert manager/ coordinator and some other crew members play a very impotant part in making and launching a successful and awsome concert! She just has to get well organized and choose the correct people to make those concerts unique, magical, and attractive.
I agree with Wildfire; it raises the concert to another level by adding a balanced group of dancers on stage.


I hope if she wants; she could work on these areas for her concerts:
-Some backup dancers (4)
-Some more band members like the '04 Concert; so for some songs they could play in the same key/tone of the original songs, and have the fun they had playing with Alizee.
-Interactive lights and Visualizations( Video clips, animated graphic designs, attractive lights.
-Dance or move around the stage a bit more to pump up the audience, and get the audience movin, and dancing during the concert.
-Practice a little more vocalizing and hitting the right notes, so she could resist a concert without finishing exhausted on her voice.

I don't know... I sound to demanding I guess, but from some after-the concert intervies in Mexico; some people were expecting a little more; hoping she would kinda repeat the energy seen in the 2004 Concert. The good thing is that the Physchedelices Concerts were the first on her independant career; and she did a good job, and has made some changes after those concerts trying to improve them for the future
HOPE I DONT GET HANGED FOR THIS

well in a land where wearing the national flag as underwear is considered patriotic , i think there's a lot you can get away with Alex lol. but there is nothing wrong with a little criticism. just dont try to hurt anybody's feelings , as "wimpy" and "soft" as that sounds

I must say that Alizee made a great team with his husband. The music is great, most of the album i would say is A+. So music "check".

Promotion and company support. Well, shes gonna be traveling a lot, listened to her on radio a lot. Her company is doing a great job to. "check".

No, here goes the bad part. Her live performances are really BAD. I love the songs, lyrics, etc...but why doesnt she MOVE!!! it doesnt have to be sexy outfit! or a suggestive dance like JMARRE, just DANCE DANCE DANCE...music and dance go together most of the time...Alizee started dancing first, shes loved doing it, but in recent videos i see her nailed to the ground..."#$$%&$%& whats going on!!! let her dance darn it! the live performance need this and shes got a whole steam roll of ticket sales in concerts. Music is great, but she needs to control the scenario, move around, smile to fans, wink, etc, check the En Concert DVD youll see what i mean...in a sentence, "Alizee needs to dance more on stage (anyway she wants it but more movement) and control the scenario, move here, there, smile, air guitar, etc, show that shes enjoying it!!! cause she is, she loves dancing more than singing...

Im a real fan of her, i love all her music, old and new, but i must say she needs help as clearly Matrix put in YouTube, she needs to put some moves on those songs, any moves she likes, but MOVES! i dont like seeing here still, nailed to the ground.

Thanks.

She has back problems. An arched back I believe. Accept it bro. And I believe she said she loves more singing than dancing, not vice versa. To be honest, I'd rather have her not perform at all if she was in a risk. Her happy = me and the rest of us happy.

ya missed out on a lot. the back problem is unclear.. and she was a dancer before she was a singer. the only reason she became a singer was because the competition didn't allow single dancers or something.

I don't think the (alleged) back problems should be an issue. If you watch her dance moves from the MCE era, it's not like she was jumping around onstage. In fact, she jumps around on stage now more than she did then. I think people just miss the choreography...and by that, I mean the suggestive and coquettish choreography.

I'm not sure I buy the whole back problem thing though. I think the answer to her current aversion to performing dance moves is much more obvious: She just doesn't want to do it anymore.

whether she does or doesn't (couldn't it be a little gift from Annily?) I don't want her to keep dancing as she did if she isn't comfortable with it.
