I agree, Scruffy. As I've said before, my interest in Alizée was because of the music. For me personally, dancing is just not a big thing to me. I have nothing against it and I appreciate the difficulty, the artistry and the fact that is very interesting to many people. It's just not my thing. I would be much more interested in Alizée's career if it was about recording albums and doing concerts. Having said that, I'm glad that she has been enjoying her life and had gained a boost in popularity during her DALS appearances. Most of all, I hope she does what makes her happy. But I really miss the music, and that's where my interests are.

A problem Alizee has grappled with for some years now is finding a musical niche in which she can succeed. She has experimented with a number of pop styles that haven’t worked for her.

The dominant style of music today is urban music, which is not at all appropriate for Alizee, making it more difficult for her to find a hit. Urban music doesn’t suit her personality or her voice. When she stood in for Britney Speers singing “Scream and Shout” in her soft, sweet French accent, it was like watching the Queen of England belt out “You got to turn this shit up.” As a fan of Alizee, I found it cute but not convincing. Alizee works as a French Mademoiselle, not a streetwalking ho.

I think a direction Alizee might take a serious look at is to go back to the style of music she first sang when 15 in the amateur contest—“Ma Prière” or “DuPiano Debout”—French, jazzy, and sophisticated. It won’t make her a blockbusting star or put her in the top 10 pop tunes, but it will bring her back from oblivion.

Am I the only one who would actually really like to see this happen?
