Alizee quotes
There is a website called Wikiquote. They list quotes by famous people and they have a page for Alizee.
Here are her quotes listed from Wikiquote, fun reading:
* I have always been shy.
* I'm very fond of my name and it has a story behind it. My parents love windsurfing and chose to call me Alizée after a type of wind of the same name.
* I am, of course, delighted (on seeing her pictures in French and foreign magazines) but I don't like looking at myself. In fact, I'm very critical about myself.
* I like boys to be gentle, kind and loving. But the most important quality for me is fidelity. An unfaithful boy is not a boy for me.
* I wouldn't like to say (of plans in the near future) because I am very superstitious. So, I hope things will carry on as they are now.
* My true pleasure in this business is singing before an audience. These are very happy moments. I'm always a little nervous before getting out there, but once I'm on stage I could never stop.
* Hypocrisy! That really irritates me. When I'm very naive, I find everybody sympathetic.
* I don't want to tell it (the most romantic thing anybody has done to her). It's a secret. It was my ex-boyfriend, the new one will not be happy to hear it!
* My weakness are sweets. I love "winegums" in the shape of bears, especially the red ones. It is thanks to my desire for sweets that one of my songs is called "Gourmandises", which is also the title of my album.
* I'm very shy and reserved. But I'm also generous and very stubborn. It seems that I always have to be right in everything. I don't like to lie and either way I can't even lie.
* I like almost every style of clothing: sports, skirts, Jeans. I like all colours. I especially wear colourful clothes with a clear preference for pink."
* I talk a lot about nature in my songs because I always think of my land of birth. The island is truly magnificent: one can go to the sea, walk in de mountains and ski on the high mountains.
* I miss the sea (of Ajaccio, her homeland) when I'm in Paris.
* In any case, being sexy includes being natural. Anything can be sexy, except vulgarity.
* (Regarding whether she believes in fortune) Yes, absolutely, I think I was born under a lucky star.
* ...now that my dream is fulfilled, that I'm singing and I do what I love, I dream of running away and traveling around the world.
* A girl only has to be in a miniskirt to be treated like a tease.
* Liking to seduce isn't a sin
* I want to get to know the arena, know the slightest little detail, the least little step, the slightest spotlight, so that I could sing and dance with my eyes closed. And so that from the beginning to the end, the people won't get tired of me.
* I sleep (on what she does in-flight). No matter which place I land, I always manage to fall asleep.
* Certain magazines who have recently published photos of me accused me of intentionally showing my underwear. That's absolutely false! So, to shut up the gossip, at the end of my song "J'ai pas 20 ans," I lifted up my skirt out of provocation. Having said that, I was wearing boxers!
* (on defining what she feels of love) I don't just picture passion, even though I know that can destroy. But you have to experience it once in your life.

Stumbleupon with Alizee
Surfing for Alizee with Stumbleupon I tripped upon this 6 question silly survey of what kind of ice cream are you...
I really like Joan of Arc, but, well, you know...
Alizee mentioned in an article about Immi
There is an article about the Japanese singer Immi in The Japan Times online dated September 26, 2008.
Alizee is mentioned.
Refers to her popularity as "within Gallic walls". OK
Then goes on to describe her as "breathy jailbait star".
She is 24
coming up on her 5 year anniversary of marriage to Jeremy Chatelain
Has a 3 1/2 year old child
French Lessons with Alizee OR It's a Youpidou weekend
Youpidou...means, er, uh...
Let's take a look at a translation of the song...and it has Youpidou as...Youpidou? Hmm
Well, OK, let's see what the English version has...Youpidoo? That's not much better.
How about our old friend Wikipedia...just has it listed as a song.
So here we go...type in youpi
"Youpi is the French word equivalent for Yahoo! or Yippee!" .
the dou is just and extra at the end, something like Bruce Willis did in Die Hard saying Yippie kay yea (various spellings because it is not a real word either)
I get a kick out of the equivalent for Yahoo. Yahoo again. Now Alizee is singing a Yahoo song, has a purple chair!!! What is going on?
Since it is going to be a Youpidou weekend let's let Alizee sing the whole song.(2004)
This is one of those songs that at first I did not listen to, now I get a kick out of it.

Alizee - Lucky Star
Alizee Quote: (Regarding whether she believes in fortune) Yes, absolutely, I think I was born under a lucky star.
Now let's put in another piece of the Alizee puzzle.
There is a song called...you guessed it, "Lucky Star"
Does anyone want to guess who sings it...
anybody
anybody...
yes, over there in the corner, wikipedia...
Madonna, yes Madonna.
Not that Madonna connection again...oh, but wait, there's more.
Wikipedia if you would please: "Lucky Star" is the fifth single by American singer-songwriter Madonna and was released in August 1984...
and Alizee was born...August 1984
Madonna Confessions Tour - Lucky Star
oh yeah, it's interlaced with Hung Up, and don't we know someone who did that song
I better stop before she thinks I shared too much this time...
Alizee - Veni Vidi Vici Lyrics
Alizee, Veni Vidi Vici Lyrics
People are searching for this on the World Wide Wiretap (WWW)
I don't know why
So here you go
Un zeste de felicite
Un temperament qui fait rire
Parce que tout peut bien arriver
Le temps nous dit c'est plus facile
Si on met :
Un zeste de citron dans l'eau,
Changer le gout, sans changer l'hydre
La vie est belle pimentee corsee
La vie qui pique
Qui pousse comme un champ de ble
Veni, Vedi, Vici
C'est de la chance aussi
Tout petit a petit
L'oiseau qui fait son nid, douillet
Veni, vedi, vici
Ma bonne etoile luit, je n'ai
Pas de mea culpa
J'suis bien la et j'aime ca
Un zeste de feminite
Sur un corps-puce de gamine
Les langues sont facilites, jure
Le latin je l'aime en chemise,
Un zeste de balbutiements
Quand je me dis : tout va trop vite
C'est la que veillent les mamans, j'entends
Au loin les cloches de la ville,
Vive le vent...
Previous Veni Vidi Vici post
English interpretations are at:
Alizee-reflections
Alizee America by Mal
Oh yeah, Mal's interpretation reminds me of another quick post I should do...

Alizee - Coldplay ...continues
Alizee and Coldplay are a topic of conversation in Europe. Mainly because Coldplay is in the middle of their European Tour.
It just does not want to go away.
Here is an article regarding the subject.
It is in French, if you want to read it use babelfish.com, copy and paste the URL and you can stumble through it.
Yes, I know it translates Alizee to Geostrophic if you use the French to English option.
So what of this 'Alizee business' as they say. It appears the public would like some thing more from Coldplay.
Some say yes, some no, but what I do not understand are the few that state that Coldplay emptied the racks of their CD's and Alizee did not. What does that have to do with anything? AND, if we take the "classic" J'en Ai Marre (JEAM), you know which one I mean and give it to Itunes and they flood the world with it in their commericials on TV as they did with Coldplay, I think it would fly off the shelves.
We shall see what developes. Coldplay has another month in Europe, I think they hit Canada October 20.
As a little visual side treat from December 2007, if you click on Alizee's name in the article it takes further along, but to save you some time, click here.
Air Alizee
Sometimes things seem like good ideas, but then...
I thought it would look really good to have a few things on a hat...
Then there was this pic that got me to thinking...
There was Alizee with an Air Jordon hat, of course Air Alizee was next, of course.
and you wondered why I was asking about the jump pictures...
Nice but it seemed just to girly to put on a guy hat...
I don't know, just thinking out loud.

Alphabet soup of Alizee songs
Remember the first time you saw it, most likely in a forum. Someone stated "I really like ACC", and you scrambled trying to find out what they were talking about. Well, let's compile a list of acronyms for Alizee songs so new fans can adapt faster. Interesting to me is IF Alizee does officially introduce her songs to North America they will all be new again. Older fans will still think in terms of older songs and newer songs but they are all new to new fans. You can pick any song and introduce it as new in North America. Similar to Alizee being referred to as a new Artist for Latin America MTV. So how and what would you release...
Back to the alphabet soup.
I am going to keep this list visible somewhere on this page, most likely at the bottom of the page (I think). An easy reference for new fans. Now I am not an expert on this but lets start with one I already mentioned:
ACC - À contre-courant
JEAM - J'en ai marre
Any more? :)
Alizee - You can't push a rope
The Alizee concert at Le Grand Rex is only 30 days away!! October 23. Maybe there maybe an appearance between now and then, maybe. I can't wait, it will be like someone picking up the rope on the other end and pulling a little bit. The core fan group works hard, and there shall be no complaining, but it sure will be nice there is no denying that. I just can't wait to see what all you concert goers start posting right after...it will be nuts!
As Jerry McGuire said:
Help me help you. It will be a nice input of energy, just maybe we will be able to transfer some of that exposure to the unsuspecting North American public.., an LTNY blitz, a disque drop there, a blog here...it could happen.
Reading lillytown.com I was enjoying the Alizee quotes...one posted Alizee as saying: "Don’t let anybody tell you, you cant do something You got a dream. You got to protect it People cant do something themselves. Then they are going to tell you, you cant do it!
You want something...Go Get It"
Now, where's that rope! push!

French lessons with Alizee
So, are you singing along with the karaoke videos?
Some of you are but not everyone yet.
What if Alizee asks you?
vous chantez avec moi - you sing with me
Alizee - Karaoke - Lui Ou Toi
Follow along with Alizee singing Lui Ou Toi
Very good yonymath
No, you are not done yet. Where is this song on the list of favorites? It is not in the left side column (yet). You just have to take a minute to read Homers analysis posted by garsoncanadien in Alizee America. You will have a new found appreciation for this song and not listen to it the same way again.
