Conspirsacy Theory

In response to the the Alizee mindgames post, one reader writes... "It's Grover" of Sesame Street fame. Doh!
Tres Bon!
There goes my Conspiracy Theory.

Back in 1965 what did Bob Dylan have to say about a t-shirt he wore and what it meant.




Now where else are you going to find a Grover and Bob Dylan reference in an Alizee website?

Lolita, Alizee, something she is not

This is a '60 minutes' clip of a Bob Dylan interview. He is discussing the public's perception of him. Substitute Bob's words 'prophet and savior' with 'Lolita', substitute Bob's reference to 'Elvis' with 'Madonna' and you might have an Alizee interview. People see you for something you're not (lolita) versus married, family..."Isn't that something". They were just songs, not sermons.

Tangy Pop and Vision Music

Alizee asking to describe her new music.

A mixture of pop, rock, vintage new wave with many samples and electro, a universe fresh and coloured, warm pastel colours, plays on words and candy... Is this a good definition of your artistic universe?

Its a bit difficult to define my music! I think that tangy pop is the most exact and appropriate term. Its also possible to find what I did before: the omnipresence of candy and multiple meanings. Except that its not the same person that does it and she doesn't do the same play on words as Mylene. She and Jean Fauque are masters of amusing themselves with play on words, to play with words and to always try to find double meanings. This album is an evolution in contrast to what I used to do: It was much more dance. I have met many people who have brought their touch, and that is what makes there have several different things and a unifying theme at the same time in the album. My voice is the unifying theme between the songs

Alizee's answers...

I told you this was not going to be your usual Alizee fan site. So let's get started.
First, thanks to www.lillytown.com for those article postings, great job!
Reading through those interviews I thought, I have heard those answers before. Alizee has a much more polite and courteous way of presenting her replies. Where was that? I know. Bob Dylan. Don't hate me but that is what it reminded me of. The way she handles herself with interviews also are somewhat early Dylan. Dylan's transition from acoustical to electric which no one wanted him to do, Alizee's transition from Lolita to Entertainer which 'fans' were having a tough time with.
More interview clips:

In "Mademoiselle Juliette", you say "Mademoiselle takes off, Don't break herself apart, In her role she only wants herself, No replicas of all the shows". Is this a transposition to your own past?

We didn't do it in that state of mind! When we sing a song written by somebody else, whether it be Mylene or Jean Fauque, we see several months afterward even more interpretations and then we say: "Cool, I didn't even realize that it could be interpreted like that!". So in effect, I realized a few months afterwards that it could be interpreted badly, but at the same time, I like this song a lot.

did'nt even realize that it could be interpreted like that. People looking for meanings that where not even there.

Personally, do you think that you were caged in, that you were artistically frustrated, that you didn't have your word to say...

No it wasn't the case! I told myself instead: "What you are doing musically, is it that if it were not you singing it, you would listen to it on your iPod?" That was the real question!

Beatnik vs. Lolita, singers with a message, first records better?, because I feel like singing... A brash 1966 Bob Dylan. (the short clip of Bob taking pics at the airport looks like Alizee taking pics in Mexico)
