No one says it quite like you Orion, Alizée is lucky to have such great fans, but none more so than you. Although fan is the wrong word, you are more than that, she is as lucky to have you as you are to have her.

Nice sayd Orion ! I couldn't comment here earlyer just because I was in a place where Internet does not exist Did I forget about sweet Lili and her 26th birthday anniversary ? No frickin' Way !
Now about this forum : From 2003 ?! It's something. Back in 2003 I was 15 y old and didn't know a damn thing about forums or mostly internet..Funny how things turn out.

Even though ( and I keep repeating this ) I wasn't there ..because I joined in the early 2008 , I read the old posts and I kept imagining how it would feel to live through Mes Courants Electriques Hmm what a feeling..

10 years with Alizee...She went through 4 albums , long pauses , big and small comebacks , having a wedding , a child and still she is amazing ! That's what I appreciate the most ! That's exactly what keeps me going. It ain't just something usual ..it's something special. There were times when I have lost the flame of that special feeling but the spark has never left...The spark always lighted the fire again always and always and always.

Joyeux Anniversaire , Alizée ! I will be here for the next 10 , 20 , 30 years if it's possible !

Amen!

Joyeux Anniversaire, Alizée

Yeah... What you said.

Happy birthday birthday girl Alizée

I being a brand new Alizée fan likeall her early and new music. However my favorite is Limelight, and my second favorite is Les Collines. From voting on and following charts I found at the America forum it looks like it it getting major air time in Europe. I spoke to several radio stations here in Orlando FL about requesting they play some Alizée. I was informed that they are NOT ALLOWED by thier MGMT unless she does a US release. They have heard of her of course, but as it stands at the moment she will not recieve air time on the radio here until she does a release in the US. And in the meantime AAM fans have the internet and forums.

yeah these things sometimes always happen actually.. there's alot of unanswered questions and mystery in this world!
but you just gotta be more aware thats all..and next time it happens, dude grab a bat or somethin..just incase!.. lol i get paranoid like that hehe

What lightmeter do i use? Do they have to be real expensive?

I understand that, and I too was talking about the radio version. I only mentioned the one remix to prove that repetitiveness does not always equal a bad thing.

But its cool, I know you older guys sometimes have a hard time understanding stuff. No worries.

No worries, Jenny! Let's suppose that her single does not go big, and she is not popular all over the world except for Mexico and France. Let's even say that the interest dies down in those places too! At the end of the day, we have good music and good memories, and a great community here. We will always have Alizée, and we will always here her and see her. What we must do is not worry too much about tomorrow and where it will bring us. . . all we can do is worry about today and how we reach its end as best we can. In life there is the greatest end, death. So we MUST NOT worry about the end of albums and photoshoots. We must instead cherish and take it as it comes, and harness what we already have via Alizée and what we might expect from her to come for this album. We have THAT much to look forward to! If she is happy we are happy, if she is sad, then we are sad. That IS the greatest compliment anybody can give to another. It is to be meaningful and to show hwo much she means to us. . . so that is WHY the fans, for ME, RULE!!!

I will experience this album FULL of happiness and I will NOT fall into any trap that makes me wonder and worry, while Lili is having fun and making music etc. We do not know if this will be her last album, but what we do know is that we will enjoy this time, ESPECIALLY since we know how last tie was.

This is a call to go all out positive and, no matter what, to even send her messages of how wonderful she is and how many great fans she has on account of her, her smile and her music. . . and how much we support her!!!

I hope I made SOME sense here. . . I just want people ESPECIALLY Her adoring fans to be happy and not worry about things. Just enjoy this time and experience. TRUST ME.

ciao all!

I just hope that "Les Collines" will have the same effect on many other people as it had on me... it was like love on first sight! Perhaps "Les Collines" could be like ML for Gourmandises or JEAM for MCE... THE song! The song that brings Alizée back to the top! ok not like in 2000 - 2004 but I am sure you get my point!

The one JEAM remix that did rly well, had the "ba da ba da bum bum" part go on for like....4 minutes straight but it WORKED because in the clubs, you want a beat, and something to dance and move to, you dont really care what it is, or what is being said.

So Im hoping it will be the same for LC.

Anyway, i'm sure they had their reasons to create the song as it is, let's hope it works for the public.
It's running up and down my mp3-player, long refrain or not.

I agree that combining french and english was a great move, it takes the best of two worlds; the beauty of the french language with the bigger audience english can provide.
The beginning and her voice are wonderful, but i fear the heavy repetition of the refrain will kill some of the potential of the song. Some more lyrics would have made the song perfect in my eyes.
Still, it's catchy and should bring her attention. If it will really be a great hit remains to be seen.
Ofc i hope it will conquer the charts!

Before Psychédélices was released we the " fans " had been hoping for another catchy tune like Moi... Lolita to be released, of course " Les Collines " sounds nothing like ML but it's still catchy and that's what matters most as catchy tunes are usually the most successful in the charts when it comes to Pop. Fingers crossed this will give Alizée some more well deserved success... I 1000 % agree too... it definitely has the potential to be a HIT!

1000 % agree! Great post Orion! You hit the nail on the head!

What!? you little . . . . didn't even care to say "hello!?"

That's it. . . . try that again I'll make you into a ghost, and make things legit.

well actually Orion...to tell you the truth...it was me. I needed to use the restroom, so I broke in, used it, and when I was washing my hands, I heard you coming, so I had to run away. Did not want to get caught. In my rush to escape, I left the water on. Sorry.

Well, nothing is playing tricks. . . I was aware and conscious the whole time too, and noticed it as soon as it happened. I guess only I know, and no one else can understand except to question logically deducing etc. . . it's normal, but I know this stuff. But this is nothing to what I have been through previously . . . I just mentioned this one for fun haha.

That's just weird but it ain't anything I did not see yet... Back in my childhood when I was spending my summer at my grandma's place there was an old woman living next to our house and rumors were that she was doing some kind of sorcery and stuff. Rumors but I have seen things back in those days that I keep trying to think of them like beign just kids imagination.

Shadows everywhere following my grandfather , even during the day , things moving in the house when we were asleep. Whatever it was it made me really unconfortable. I was always strong and I didn't believe it , and I still don't believe it ! My grandfather died 2 months after the events. He never had any problems with health and suddenly he gets a bone disease. A disease that can be survived for 15-20 years but he lived 2 months while his spline and upper leg bones fast transformed into dust. So ... things happen ! I be there a very strange and sometimes unbelievable scietific explanation for anything. Problem is ..do we accept that ? Continue to believe or hardly reject it ?

Anyway Orion things like these happen. It can be just your imagination and perhaps memory loss , you could have turned that on and your mind plays tricks on you. I'm not saying anything but just that it is possible I have seen these things too. It might be some kind of strange scientific explanation with that faucet... Maybe there are really paranormal forces going around , things that have no place there, things that they don't belong there and they dislike that fact and so on.

My grand grand father was a priest as far as I know..of stories my father has told me. He was blind untill the age of 16 and he regained his ability to see. Nobody understood why...he turned to religion and later on he became and exorcist as far as I know. My father told me that he knew that more than 80% of those people were faking it and he played along but there were some that he couldn't even come close to..and he died in something like this . He had heart problems and he tryed hard to exorcise an old lady when his heart stopped because of all the concentration and stress.

It's a story anyway ...I never met him ...Wasn't even born when he died but my father believes it ! Anyway Orion be careful no matter what is happening..even if your mind plays tricks or there really are other things in there !

haha . . . weirdos!

hey, a lack of promise is the first sign of ruin!
