[Melodramatic]

Ok, I know that there's another forum dedicated to Alizee known as MF-International. So my question is, would joining there be considered a betrayal here or is it a sister forum or are they connected, or what?

[DavidAlizée]

You don't wanna join that forum.... trust me on that. Its not a nice place to be. ( i wouldnt say dedicated, that is so not the correct word ) Some people there are so against Alizée its unbelivable... even the forum owner. But hey.. you have your own right to make ur mind up. This is just in my opinion :P

[Melodramatic]

Oh ok. i guess my loyaltiesmust lie here, although some ppl here also give out harsh opinions about Liz.

[IronRodent]

I think Elizabeth Hurley is a wonderful actress.

And don't believe David. He's nothing but a propagandist. :wink:

[DavidAlizée]

And don't believe David. He's nothing but a propagandist. :wink:

lol.. :*( why arnt you on the #Alizee-chat ?

[Moco]

MF-International is a completely different type of forum than this one. It's geared more toward French music in general, so there aren't as many Alizée fans there as there are here. The Alizée section there is more of like a remnant of days gone by when the forum was called Hey Amiga! and Alizée was the main focus. But the people there aren't so against Alizée; they're just a little more critical and more objective when expressing their opinions about her and her career. Think of it as if you were reading the general public's opinion about her, not that of a diehard fan. But it's completely up to you if you want to join that forum. If you like French music other than Alizée, then it's a great forum. But if all you like is Alizée, you might be better off staying here.

[Backinblack]

I don't consider it a "betrayal", since many members of this forum, me included, post at MFI from time to time. But there is a rather large difference of opinion and atmosphere between the two forums. MFI was originally an Alizée forum but it has evolved into a French music forum in general. And people are much more sarcastic over there, which can be intimidating sometimes. :P If you're interested in checking out other French music besides Alizée, it's a good place to visit, but if you're an Alizée fan, you'll be much more welcomed over here.

edit--Darn it, Moco posted before I could finish mine. Oh well.

[Melodramatic]

I see. Well, I think I'll stay here for now although Captain Gorgeous is quite amusing. Maybe he has alot of time on his hands :? Ok By the way, what's with all the lip color indicating: newbie, mega Alizee lover, die har fan etc..? Does that mean that u can post unlimited messages...w/out paying or something? I know the site is free but do we have limits in terms of posting (say like we can't post for more than 3 years?). Just curious. :?

[DavidAlizée]

the more posts you make, the more lips you get. Yes this site is free, you pay nothing, don't worry aboout it :)

If you realy want to part with your money, speak to Riccardo to get unlimited access to his FTP: and download Alizée videos for a small donation. =)

No limits, just don't go crazy and make 3 topics per day and ull be alright :P

Welcome to the forum btw.

[Melodramatic]

It's good to see some mature fans here. Not that I think you're an old man or anything. Just nice to see a variety coz some ppl seem to have what I call "Humbertism" which means that they only like Alizee for her role as Lolita but her music was excellent then, but maybe of a lesser might at present. I can't deny that I've been affected by this, although I really enjoy Alizee as she ages. I care little for her image, it's just that perhaps I highly prefered the Mylene-styled music that she had before. I predict that her next image would most likely be punk rock, or maybe not. I haven't seen the "I'm fed up" black sailor outfit performance she had. I've read some of the forums and got some feedbacks that it nearly gave male seniors heart attacks. I have yet to see that vid.

Edit: You guys are so right. MF-International is a savage place to be in. And Moderators and Board Admin. in MF-Int are such touchy bitches :evil: .

[Melodramatic]

Another random and silly question: Is Riccardo (forum owner) really a model?

[Lía]

yep he is a model....

oh and i used to go on that forum but i don't like it now so i stay on here! :mrgreen:

[Melodramatic]

Really? That's nice. No wonder this forum stays afloat. We have a model for an owner after all. :wink:

Edit: Where in the world can I find an English website of Mylene Farmer with videos and discography (the 1's that u can listen to)?

[DavidAlizée]

You should see the girls he has with him when on stage.... Amazing!

[Angelvs]

Melodramatic,

Well... basicaly that's the history... MFI is a fully dedicated Alizée Forum... but then the owner fall into the dark side (Prissou... :roll: ). Now is a "French Music" forum that sometimes resembles an Alizée haters forum... (under the costume of being "objective"... :roll: )

Did you guys know that I'm banned from the MFI? :lol: (they banned me about 3 months ago...)

Actually what I don't like from the MFI is the uptight attitude... I don't know...

And Riccs is a real model... haven't you seen the interview or so that the german tv did with him? I don't remember the link... :?

Welcome to the forum... I hope you'll have a great time here...



The Real Angelvs (movement diversity...)

[banishedbayou]

I don't like the mfi forum it is just plain boring. This one is so much better!!!

[Melodramatic]

I highly agree w/ you guys. I've asked someone to post similar topics there and all of the cranky bitches locked it up, never giving the threads a chance to flourish! They have clearly embraced the Sith! Oh ok, so Riccardo is a model. Not meaning to offend any1 but I actually first thought that he was a male pornstar just because his website required somethin' somethin. But glad he's not a pornstar. Oh MFI, why did you have to fall in to the dark side? :twisted: :cry:

p.s. Can anyone please gimme links to english MF websites 'coz I wanna delve into her music more. thanks.

[Backinblack]

Actually, I've noticed that the focus of MFI switches whenever Kam (the owner) has a new thing for someone; first it was Alizée and Mylène, then Prissou, and now Radia.

Not meaning to offend any1 but I actually first thought that he was a male pornstar just because his website required somethin' somethin.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Ah, that's a great line. I guess you could be tempted to think that, when you see him in his underwear on the first page. :P Then again, I'd rather not think about it.

As for Mylène info in English, of course MFI is a good resource, especially for English translations of her songs (with some mp3s). I haven't come across many other up-to-date Mylène sites in English. Even if you can't read French, you might find www.mylenefarmeriscalled.net useful, especially for her discography here (http://www.mylenefarmeriscalled.net/albumgraphie.html). Also, if you have specific questions about her, there's several people here (Moco, Snatcher, John, among others) who could help you out as well.

[Melodramatic]

Merci BB. Your resources are invaluable. But yeah Kam and the Honorable are a bunch of hypocritical divas. And seriously I think they're gay(not that there's anything wrong w/ that). No kidding. just read some of the thread they did. Ok that was just a lil tid bit there.

[Melodramatic]

well, them administrators should be a little nicer and be fair for once.

[Moco]

And seriously I think they're gay(not that there's anything wrong w/ that). No kidding. just read some of the thread they did. Ok that was just a lil tid bit there.
Ok, so if there's nothing wrong with being gay, why do we need that thread to laugh at their supposed "gayness"? I really don't see the point of this thread going further if all it's going to do is bash MF-I. You may have had your run-ins with The_Honorable and Kam, but they have their own way of running their forum and it's their right to enforce it as they see fit. That's certainly no reason to mock them behind their backs. If you don't like them and their forum, fine, just leave it at that. No need to create any further hostilities between the two forums. Time to move on and forget it.

[Melodramatic]

Well I'm sorry if you didn't like my bashing of the MFI, but I had my reasons and I needed to vent, but rest assured I'm so over it. I had no intention of letting u laugh at their "supposed gayness", just that that thread was hilarious. That's all there is to it :wink:

Now, on to another random Q:

I've never been able to find the JEAM live performance in Hit Machine. I've tried some of the links and they don't work. Anybody have links to this performance? And I've heard of an MF song called California or Californie...which 1 is it and what album? Love that song!

Edit: Who among you in this forum have actually been to an Alizee concert?

[Melodramatic]

Hey another question from the clueless: How do you guys post with multiple quotes from others member's post and place them in one reply? I don't know how to do them quotes and I'm pretty fed up w/ rewriting the sentences I want to respond to.

[banishedbayou]

Hey another question from the clueless: How do you guys post with multiple quotes from others member's post and place them in one reply? I don't know how to do them quotes and I'm pretty fed up w/ rewriting the sentences I want to respond to.

Use the quote select button under the fast reply.

[Moco]

Taken from the phpbb user guide (http://www.phpbb.com/support/guide/):

4.2.7: Quoting Messages
Quoting messages allows you to include other's posts in your own. It is useful for showing that you are replying to a post, or part of a post.

To quote all of someone's post, look at the top right corner of their post and click Quote. This will take you to the posting form, and will allow you to reply to the post. It will also automatically add the appropriate BBCode to your post to quote the post you are replying to.

The proper syntax to quote a post is:

[quote="<name to quote>"]<text to quote>[/quote]

<name to quote> is the source of your quote, and <text to quote> is what you are quoting. So to quote the user Cheese Man saying "Power the behold of cheese."

[quote="Cheese Man"]Power the behold of cheese[/quote]

Also, we have an entire section dedicated to questions or problems with the forum:

[Melodramatic]

Thanks Moco! you're the best! :wink:

[Melodramatic]

Hey another random question.

What is Voici's equivalent here in the US? Is it:

US Weekly
Star
Enquirer
People
in Touch Weekly
GQ

[Petsku1]

what's the crappiest of those?.....that it is

[banishedbayou]

I would have to say the enquirer is the worst. Good thing he didn't list the Weekly World News.

[Joseph]

Ok back to the topic's purpose, heh.

Have any of you seen the short film (I believe it's German) "Try" ? It is dubbed in English-English, and is on the Smashing Pumpkins DVD. (although I don't like them, I saw this 15 minute film in the library of my school and thought it to be a greatly made short film)
Just want to know who has and what you thought of it, and how you viewed things differently, if you did at all, on dreams and hopes and the like.

[Melodramatic]

Haven't seen the short film but the song is excellent.

[Melodramatic]

Random Question: How does one become a Moderator or an Administrator on this site forum and do they get paid?

[HampsterOnSpeed]

a lot of time spent here and...most of the admins know Riccardo in person just so you know Melo. No, they don't get paid...as far as I know. I don't think any of them cares to get paid to be overlooking the largest Alizée forum on the net, we all are fascinating by her ;)

[Melodramatic]

Another Random Q: Hey guys! In the Moi...Lolita video, Alizee's red floral dress had some writing on it (on the v-neckline). Does anyone know what the writings mean?

[Melodramatic]

Do you guys know what that thing (what's it called) hanging in your throat that moves every time you hit a high note or sing? very urgent question. reply ASAP.

It's your gobble.

j/k I think it's the tonsils, someone correct me if I'm mistaken.

Glass? after it breaks :P

hehe, sorry melo, dunno

[Melodramatic]

The tonsils? I'm not sure. Its that 1-inch thing that moves whenever u make a sound. Well, mine got swollen and it's dangling in my throat like a little worm.

[DavidAlizée]

it will be ok by tomorrow more than likely. They do tend to swell if you over do a singing note, or shout to loud.

[Melodramatic]

man it feels so gross in my throat. It's like I'm swallowing an earth worm that doesn't wanna be swallowed.

[DavidAlizée]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: oh, so sweet!

[Snatcher42]

Yes, the tonsils. They can get infected and might have to be removed (not a big deal, but you probably will have to go into a hospital for a few hours)... you should get it checked out by a doctor. Maybe it can be cleared up with antibiotics.

[tern]

Do you guys know what that thing (what's it called) hanging in your throat that moves every time you hit a high note or sing? very urgent question. reply ASAP.

It doesn't sound like they are in pain. If he was hurting from tonsils infection do you really think he'd need to know what they were called before he had the doctor cut them out?

[Backinblack]

The thing that hangs down in the back of your throat is called the uvula. But your tonsils may be swollen as well. And yes, I'm wondering why it's so urgent that you need to know what it's called when all you do is tell the doc, "My throat hurts."

http://www.doctorspiller.com/oral-dental_anatomy.htm

[tern]

I could kick his uvula's ass. Got nothin' on me!

Lol thanks BIB. Sorry for the trouble. My throat doesn't hurt actually. No probs with the throat really. Just that thing hanging in the back of my throat becoming huge & thanks for giving it a name :wink: (my friend said it was called the labia). I sure as hell don't want any surgical remedy for it.

[banishedbayou]

Does anyone know anything more about this band? I think the female is named leslie.

Based on how she looks, I'd say so too. It's hard not to be judgemental of pictures of other women posted on this site. Just look at my ava, so purdy...

thanks. I'll check them out now.

[Melodramatic]

Only the Natasha and Pascal Obispo worked.

[Snatcher42]

Can you be more specific? What didn't work, the playing or the downloading? If the downloading, it does work, use that last link to go to the index page and then do a right-click save as. If the playing, check out those first two links I posted, esp. MPC. That program plays it fine on most comps.

[Melodramatic]

I'll try again. I think it was the downloading. K so I right click & saved it, now what? Do I play it?

No, the interview is cut off and quality slightly compressed... still looks good, especially considering the size. But yeah, stick with your mpeg, I just made this cause I have an 100meg limit on the server.

[Melodramatic]

thanks Dave. i'll ask further Q's if I get stuck. Can I use some of the gifs on this site or is it not permitted?

[DavidAlizée]

Yes, i don't think anyone will object at all. Or use the ones from Mot's site. http://users.skynet.be/mot/Stuff/motindex3.html

I know he won't mind. Ull hav to upload the gifs to imageshack.us .

[Melodramatic]

Hey dave, I got my imageshack account. Then I went to upload image. Now what? can u gimme a step-by-step? thanks

[Melodramatic]

A little question about Alizée.

- She was 15 while they filmed Moi...Lolita
- 16 in L'Alizé & Parlour Tout Bas
- 17 in Gourmandises

Is this info right?

[RR]

i guess so, but if you wanna follow b'daes, i think she filmed gourmandises when she was 16 cause it was first shown on the 25th July 2001 on M6. the rest should be correct.

[Joseph]

Dave your Alizée folder is lookin' kinda skimpy... this is just my MAIN picture folder...
http://img140.exs.cx/img140/9682/abv2lr.jpg

[DavidAlizée]

great collection there Joseph. But , that folder in the screen cap i posted is just a basic Alizee folder insdie "my pictures" , my other Alizée folder contains the vids, mp3 and pics ect, with thousands of pics :mrgreen:

[britkit]

really now, thousands....*dramatic pause* Can we say a bit of a obsession there dear? *Giggles*

~BritKit

[DavidAlizée]

lol..., i can set my pc on the hub to download everything, i downloaded Chromex entire collection lol, thanks Chromex btw.

But i must have at least that in .rar files hehe

[tern]

This definitely clears some things up for me.

[tern]

Okay, some of you mentioned that during her concerts Alizee did her own little "drum solo" during JPVA. I know it's not on the DVD is there anywhere that anyone has taken video of it? I would so much like to see that.

[Melodramatic]

There are 2 new pictures in the gallery of some forum members. I recognize Snatcher & Riccardo only. Who are those other guys?

i think yeah..maybe they will meet again next summer..maybe i will join it too..what they doing in France? meet the members..talk..have a good time..u know what i mean..celebrate new year..walk around paris..

[Pawel]

Thank you that is very entertaining to see. I don't understand why it's not on the DVD. It would be a definite highlight. Anyone got any theories?

Yeah, pity. Maybe it just didn't fit with the audio track (which is not from Zenith). I also hoped to see filles and garcons sing Moi Lolita, but they didn't put it too.

[Moco]

Btw Moco, is this an annual custom of the moderators? And what were they doing in France?
Not really. Well, it could eventually turn out to be an annual thing. And it's not really a moderator thing either. Anyone who wants to can show up. Heck, last January I wasn't even a mod, I only had 6 posts and rarely ever visited this forum.

[tern]

filles and garcons


What are these?

[X_Vapor_X]

boys and girls

filles = girls

garcons = boys

guess my grd 9 french isnt so useless lol

[tern]

Um, Windows Messenger is the same thing as MSN Messenger, right? I mean the logos look the same and they look the same, but..yeah you guys know the answer.

[X_Vapor_X]

Yeah, they are the same.

[Moco]

They're similar, but not exactly the same thing. Here's a good explanation of what makes them different:

Differences Between MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger

If you're confused about the differences between the two instant messaging programs, there's no need to be. Windows Messenger is the default messaging program for Windows XP and is a well-rounded and comprehensive application. Using Windows Messenger, you can have voice and video conversations; group your contacts in various ways; use emoticons; send files, photos, and music; send messages to a mobile device; share applications; and communicate in real time with your contacts. Windows Messenger was also created with the corporate user in mind and can be integrated with the Exchange Instant Messaging service.

But because Windows Messenger is a practical business application, it doesn't have all of the fun stuff that MSN Messenger does. MSN Messenger offers many of the features of Windows Messenger and some extra perks. You can play games with a buddy; you can configure Web cam settings; make a phone call using your PC and microphone; create your own emoticons; keep a log of your past IM sessions; access your address book, and much more. MSN Messenger was created with the consumer end-user in mind and offers more consumer-related options. Figure 1 shows the MSN Messenger 6.0 interface.

They're similar, but not exactly the same thing. Here's a good explanation of what makes them different:

Another good program worth getting is Trillian. It combines msn, yahoo, aim, icq and one or two others but I forgot.

Another good program worth getting is Trillian. It combines msn, yahoo, aim, icq and one or two others but I forgot.
It has IRC too. I used to use Trillian, but I liked the features in MSN and the (unofficial) add-on Messenger Plus. All my contacts were on MSN anyways.

[ArlettyFan]

I have heard so many problems with Trillion. Some people can seem to do things other Trillion users cannot, each user is handicapped in a different area of the programe, and it seems random.

Lately, I heard someone complain that they couldn't add people to thier buddy list on thiers, and that other people needed to add them.

[tern]

Thanks guys. I really just wanted to know if the reason why Windows Messenger had problem adding somebody was because it was a slightly different program. But I'm always usually up for learning something.

[X_Vapor_X]

What's this "ACC" that keeps getting referred to?

Example: "ACC - Au nom des autres"

You mean this?

I guess lol, thanks.

Common song abbreviations
ACC- A Contre Courant
JPVA- J'ai Pas Vingt Ans
JEAM or JAM- J'en Ai Marre
ML- Moi... Lolita
IMFU- I'm Fed Up
basically that's all that immediately come to mind...

[Max_07s]

MF- Mylene Farmer
AJ - Alizee Jacotey
J- Jeremy
I think that some of word that forum members use in this forum.

[DavidAlizée]

"J" = Jérémy , hmm yeah, although thats not my abbreviation for him.

Not forgetting LB = Laurent Boutonnat

[Lía]

my abreviation for jérémy would either be JC or Jez.... dunno why (but he's dead ugly.......... lmao)

oh n u forgot
PTB=Parler tout bas
TDM=Toc De Mac
MM=Mon Maquis
AMD=Amélie M'a Dit
A=Amélie
(a diff one is A(eng)=Amélie english)

n there r more

oh and can we think of one for Youpidou (english) and Youpidoo (French)????

You forgot " damn cat! " which would usually be a reference to Abracadabra.

New question: Is there a significance to the "9" on Lili's shirt in the JEAM official video?

[tern]

^Sorry Ben, no answer for you on that one.

Was Alizee's Moi... Lolita WMA performance done in the US or in some other country. I thought those were held here, but I'm not sure.

[ArlettyFan]

What about an abbreviation of l'alizé? Maybe lz?

Anyway, I don't think the WMA's were held in U.S.

[Moco]

I believe the WMA's are held in different places every year. In 2002, the year Alizée was there, they were held in Monaco. In 2004, there were in Las Vegas. But I know that the show is usually broadcast in the US. I have a small clip of her performing at the 2002 WMA's with the ABC network logo in the corner. I thought that was kind of neat.

I'm too lazy to look for the specific interviews, but I don't think she pulled a Bjork. Moco, Snatcher, anyone who has more info can clarify, but from what I know, this was on her promotion trip to Asia when she was sick, and when she arrived at the airport she stopped for pictures and things, but then the photographers chased after her. She spent a half hour in the bathroom there because she was sick, and the media wasn't told why, so they were upset with her because of that. Then her entourage tried to get through security as quickly as possible, so her manager cut in line, which made other people in line upset, and of course the photographers were still there trying to take pictures, so Alizée just covered her face from them until they could get out of the airport.

For now we have to reserve judgment on the sex appeal of Alizee lest we get arrested for soliciting a minor. She is a mere seventeen years old! We do know for a fact that male high-school lockers all over Europe are plastered with her image.

Yeah uh... 3 years behind!

Exactly! I mean, if somehow they were exposed to her Jeam performances, I'm pretty sure they'll give her a high rating on the sexiness category. She only has a damn 74!

Ugh. Screw that askmen.com question. I just realized something. Alizee has sported a red string bracelet in her Moi... Lolita video & also on her L'Alize video. Does it have any significance? Say Kabbalah?

I don't know specifically when Alizée hired her, but she does have a vocal coach - Sara Sanders - known for coaching celebrities (there's a thread about her here: http://www.alizeealliance.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=5501).

I was watching the JPVA Tour de France yesterday (w/ her on a blue dress) and when her performance was over, it sounded like she was booed. Was she booed? And what other perfromances did she get negative responses?

[Backinblack]

Concerning that TV show (Les 100 ans du tour de France), it was all about $$$$$$. (Or, I guess, it was about €€€€€). In the summer of 2003, part-time workers in the performing arts industry went on strike because of issues concerning unfair unemployment compensation. It was cheaper for companies to "lay off" their workers and pay unemployment compensation for those people even though they were still working, instead of paying regular wages for them when they only worked a few weeks out of the year for those companies. The unions thus decided to strike and manifest their protests at every public performance they could attend that summer. That TV show was just one of many that was disrupted by the strikers (those in the crowd holding up the pieces of paper). People weren't booing because of Alizée. It was the same for other performers.

[IronRodent]

For those who have been, is Rome better in the fall or spring? Or if you could choose, when would you go?

[Orion]

I would go in the spring because there are less tourists and the flights might be cheaper than summer or Christmass ones. It all depends on what you want to do when you get there. Summers are very HOT and I would only spend my money on a summer vacation if I was going for the sand and beach and chicks attraction that goes on in the summer in the southern part of Italy *cough* . . . . trust me :cheesy: If you want to visit the castles and such, I would go in the fall just for the personal aura and nostalgia I feel with the middle ages etc.

[tern]

I was there only in the summer. Like Orion said it is incredibly hot and since there are so many places to walk and see (not all museums like some cities seem to be) I'd go in fall or spring. That way you won't be there with annoying American tourists. :P

How are actors paid?

#1 Who pays them? The Gov't or the producers?

#2 Who decides when their salary should go up?

#3 If they're not as popular as they had been, will their salary lower?

#4 Are they affected by tax?

#5 Does the Oscars put an actor in a million dollar range?

[Moco]

#1 Who pays them? The Gov't or the producers?
LOL, the government? Good one. :wink: No, if you're talking about Hollywood movies, the actor's salary is part of the film's budget, which is paid for by a studio (ex. 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures, Warner Bros., etc...)

#2 Who decides when their salary should go up?
Agents are usually the driving force in getting their clients the money their worth. An actor's value is based on a number of things, such as box office success in previous films, awards, popularity & previous salaries.

#3 If they're not as popular as they had been, will their salary lower?
Answered above.

#4 Are they affected by tax?
Everyone who earns money has to pay taxes.

#5 Does the Oscars put an actor in a million dollar range?
Not necessarily, but having an Oscar certainly doesn't hurt.

[Melodramatic]

LOL, the government? Good one. No, if you're talking about Hollywood movies, the actor's salary is part of the film's budget, which is paid for by a studio (ex. 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures, Warner Bros., etc...)

Really? So the money doesn't come from the producers? What does a producer do anyway? So for example, say Titanic's budget was $200,000,000, and a hollywood big shot actor starred in it & his salary from previous movies was already like 25 million, would the supposed $200,000,000 budget cover his salary or will he be paid separately by someone else?

[Moco]

A producer is in charge of the overall organization of a film, making sure all the parts are in place, like casting, locations, screenplay, budget, crew positions & promotion. Basically, he oversees everything. And he doesn't pay the actors directly; that would be like your boss paying you straight out of his pocket. The money you receive comes from the company (unless your boss owns the company). So yes, that $25 million for the actor would come out of the film's budget. Again, this is all assuming the film is being made under the Hollywood system. In an independent film (a film not financially backed by a large studio), the actors would probably be paid directly by the producers, so their salaries would gernerally be much lower. Unless the independent film is called Star Wars and George Lucas is personally paying for everything himself, which he actually did.

[PayBays]

They gain the money to make a movie.It can be large or small,they have to make the movie with that budget.They have to hires actors,staff,crew,camera's and all that other stuff.Logical that 1/10 movies is really gonna break through!

[Moco]

Yeah but being the #9 top single for one week in the UK is still quite an accomplishment. Although it probably didn't have much staying power, as indicated by the low overall ranking.

[gaston_alizee]

But why is being successful in the UK is so...difficult?

[DavidAlizée]

We have very high standards of music. The charts are damn hard to get in, and stay there. For Alizée to get No.9 is an outstanding achievement! .

Basically to get in the top 10, you have to be damn good.

[Mr Bond]

Well I'd dispute that Will Young a high standard of music? Lol but thats just me!

[DavidAlizée]

hah yea, but he did have a kinda strong voice, plaus the teen girls love him lol

[Moco]

But why is being successful in the UK is so...difficult?
Well, because Moi... Lolita was a French song. You don't see many French songs on the UK charts. I think the French last artist to have success in the UK like Alizée was Vanessa Paradis in the 1980's.

[Melodramatic]

And how did Moi... Lolita do on the French charts? I heard a rumor that it was still in the charts even until early 2002. Any truth to this? Seems imposible.

[SjanTeN]

2 million copies sould world-wide.

Or about 1.3 million in France. Dunno exactly how long it stayed on the charts, but it did do phenomenally well. For a time, Alizée had two hits in the top 10: L'alizé at #1 and Moi... Lolita still there around #3 or so.

[tern]

Yeah, I've seen a scan of this before, may even be in the gallery but I doubt it.

L'alizé was #1 and Moi... Lolita was #3, incredible!

[Melodramatic]

But Parler tout bas & Gourmandises tanked right?

[gaston_alizee]

For a time, Alizée had two hits in the top 10.
Ilona Mitrecey has her two hits in the top 10 in France too.

[tern]

But Parler tout bas & Gourmandises tanked right?

C'mon Melodramatic, I know you've seen the numbers at least 3 times before. :roll:

[Melodramatic]

C'mon Melodramatic, I know you've seen the numbers at least 3 times before. :roll:
Honestly, nope. That's why I'm askin.

[Jaycubed]

can i just say it was actually #1 and #2 at the same time

you can't get better than that...and if you try, you'll fail

so don't try

it's not worth it

just be in awe

and look it up Melo, this is for Random questions that usually take some pearl of wisdom to answer

[Snatcher42]

Hmm, looks like 1 & 3, at least in this video:

Melo: you can always look up chart info on the fanpage or sites like http://www.nidalizee.com/.

[Melodramatic]

Thanks snatch. I didn't know the fanpage was connected with the forum. :oops: Ugh it's french. :roll:

[PayBays]

Snatcher,are those 3 movies the same?

And about she couldn't get easy into the UK TOPT charts...

even Kelly Osbourne was in it...

[D13U]

Yeah, but Kelly Osbourne sings in English.. most of Alizée's songs are French. The language barrier makes a huge difference.

[PayBays]

Yeah and Kelly's dad ( Jean Michael or was it Michael Jean ) Ozzy was born in England...

I hope Alizée will gain her status back!

[Melodramatic]

To Limewire users:

Why did Limewire's layout suddenly changed? And what's this new network "Gnutella" that's running it?

[Steve]

Mine hasnt changed?? but then i havent upgraded it :roll:

[Melodramatic]

I dunno. I always uninstall after every download 'coz it slows my connection. Maybe if you uninstall & download it again, you'll get the version I'm talking about.

[DavidAlizée]

Anyone know who she is?

[Ron V.]

Looks like Jennifer Garner to me.

edit - Actually, yeah, it is, it says it in tiny words at the bottom right hand of the picture

[DavidAlizée]

Damn, how did i miss that.. thnx =)

Guess i was looking at her pretty face too much to notice.

[Melodramatic]

Yep. That's her all right.

What does "Razz" mean?
And what does "Dry spell" mean?

[DavidAlizée]

No idea about razz.. but dry spell means a quiet period. You know, like in business, sometimes we say.. " they must have a dry spell" meaning ' they must not have alot of work on, during this quiet period"

[SeeMeRot]

or the other dry spell.......in which one hasn't had sex in a while....

[fallenONE]

How many newbies come onto this forum? Like one a month or what?

[SeeMeRot]

naw........not sure but a lot more than that.........but only a chozen few stay....

[fallenONE]

Like me!........lol another question

How big is the active community here? 30 ppl?

[Steve]

At a glance I would think 20-25max. I still consider myself a newbie!

<look new name :cheesy:

Don't forget the original... a literal dry spell: when an area doesn't get any rain for a long period of time.

How many newbies come onto this forum? Like one a month or what?
We've had a bunch recently... take a look at the Memberlist (http://www.alizee-forum.com/memberlist.php).

[Tim]

What does "Razz" mean?

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=razz&r=f

1. razz
to make fun of

2. razz
to get very drunk
We're going out on the razz.

3. razz
To heckle or laugh at contemptuously. It comes from the word razzberry (raspberry), a sound of contempt made by protruding the tongue between the lips and expelling air forcibly to produce a vibration. Like what chimpanzees do.

What Duane said to his girlfriend when he got home from work after walking around all day with his zipper down.
Girlfriend: "How was your day at work today, Duane?"
Duane: "I got razzed by the guys again today."

There are a few more.

[Melodramatic]

Thanks tim! :cheesy:

[Moco]

I also want to point out the smiley sticking its tongue out is called "Razz"

:P

[PayBays]

Another question:

Do you know who the Japanese hero Kikkoman is?

[fallenONE]

For the AA forums........do you have to register to see all the topics cuz i all see rite now is the support forums

[Melodramatic]

How the hell do I answer these:

Always allow BBCode: yes or no?

Always allow HTML: yes or no?

[DavidAlizée]

AA forum, yes you have to register.

[fallenONE]

Does Inscription mean register?

[Snatcher42]

Does Inscription mean register?
Yup, though registering there seems to be down at the moment.

How the hell do I answer these:

Always allow BBCode: yes or no?

Always allow HTML: yes or no?
BBCode are the tags like [img], etc. Set that to yes in most cases.
HTML is what most wepages are made out of. Kinda like BBCode but more advanced. Doesn't really matter how you set that unless you plan to use it.

Do you know who the Japanese hero Kikkoman is?
He came from the planet of soy...

[fallenONE]

Noooooooooooooo....AA wont let me register.... :!: :!:
