New Alizee Video?

[Whirlysplat]

So that's why her music sucks even more, it's french

Alize is not about music anymore than Britney is. French women are often stunning, walk round Paris and see sometime.

Alizee's music is horrible, the only good thing about her is her looks

 

[Lackey]

pop princess with bad taste in men, crappy music, and no talent who gets buy on her looks.... yup, French Britney.

 

[Calvin]

I just realized my hair is starting to look like his

When you see Britney and Alize move......

I would say they are "prime" talent.

That just further shows their similarity

 

[Addendum]

Both can shake their ass, and that's all they got

 

[8Ball2/JanG5]

looks like she's got horrible taste in men.

I wouldn't say that's bad taste. That's the taste she is when not living the fake life of that second album.

And it's more than enough imo. At least for me.

Nice looking outside- check

The inside is nowhere to be found- check

Nice looking outside- check = Agreed

The inside is nowhere to be found- check = Neither of us know her personally (sadly )

[Addendum]

Since she makes pop music, it can be safe to say her intelligence is non-existent

hmm very sweeping. Lennon made "pop" music at the time.

And?

And?

and it's 1 am here so goodnight, nice chatting with you.

- Whirly

are you comparing john lennon to a disposable pop-star who gets by on her looks alone?

 

[Calvin]

Lennon was a sexy beast.

 

[sinewave]

^ but he didn't look quite as good in shoty-shorts.

 

[Addendum]

And while Lennon did "pop music", the one thing that puts him above EVERY. DAMNED. pop "artist" can be summed up in 3 words.

He had talent.

I may not be a fan of the Beatles, but I respect the legacy they left behind.

The only legacy that the disposable-cookie cutter-no talent-hacks that the recording industry behemoth excretes onto a public that mindlessly eats it up is "Why"

Says you.

Alright Alright, good points. I like Alizée's first album because it is something unique. It's truly a breakaway from what the other artists are doing. I like this not because of Alizée, but because I’m a huge fan Mylène (songwriter/lyrics) and Laurent (songwriter/composer/director) and their strange, iconoclastic and gothic world. When they went to water it all down and produce and write a young pop singer, their influences sank in and it came out to be a very strange album. It had a huge dance hit, but the rest of the album sank a little after that, the material was not typical of any of the commercial success of her competitors, exclusively because it is the work of Mylène and Laurent, and they just used their clout to finance it no matter how the public would respond. It's very narcissistic and a strange world with a strange atmosphere, and it's strangely adult themes angered parents, much to my delight. So in short, I find it to be a greatly interesting album with unexpected depth.

Of course, the next album leaned more into commercial pop/rock drivel, and thus Alizée made a move to escape the producers and pop world, only to attempt to stage a return on her own terms (which will probably largely fail, much like the career of her husband who's newly released second album is mostly self produced and arranged, owing to much creatively and public disappointment.) This is of course because the popular French music is even worse than popular American music (the top 40 there is all rip-offs of the top 40 here), and nobody wants to buy a good album over there. And my hope of liking anything in the top 40 is almost really dead due to the fact that I don't think Mylène has been good since 93. But, she was a great artist with real, honest talent.

You do know that the chapters in the novel "American Psycho" that discussed at length Whitney Houston, Genesis, and Huey Lewis and the News were "satirical"?

Your post is in the same way. Too damned lengthy of one for a "pop music artist"

 

[8Ball2/JanG5]

You know there have been several artistic pop artists over the last 30 years. I'm sure you know the names of many. One of them happened to write this Alizée album, and I think it's not a bad album. I don't give her credit for it, she's just a singer. But as I said, it's not so commercial, Mylène is behind it. (the second one is, the one from which these clips are from). And now she wanted to escape the whole thing, so I think she has a normal sense of the fakeness of the pop world.

There are several artists I think are fairly significant even though they are pop, M. Jackson, Prince, Björk, Serge, and even Mylène, who wrote a good Alizée album. Take it or leave it. She failed because she wasn't commercial enough. Then in her comeback they tried to make her very commercial, and it wasn't taken seriously.

 

[Addendum]

I don't listen to pop music, so I don't know the name of any current pop artist, or even of pop artists from 5, 10, 15, and 20 years ago.

 

[8Ball2/JanG5]

Yes you do. Prince, M Jackson, Björk. Maybe you haven't heard of Mylène, but she has a very specific audience (she's a sort of alice cooper-esq iconoclast). But Mylène is very good in her merits. What she does is very solid. Of course, what she did with Alizée was very watered down, but made a still yet unique effect.

She caters to a more sophisticated crowd. For instance, one can find loops of films like Eraserhead and other audio clips from, for example, Gretta Garbo. Her lyrics aren't as socially timeless and Lennons, they relate mostly to Ancient Egyption Myth, but they have a strong sense of word play, words switching meanings, very playful and clever.
