Never in my life have I followed a specific band or musician with any dedication, and only once before have I cared enough about a celeb to actually look up anything about them (I was an Alyson Hannigan during Buffy, but that never got beyond buying a couple cheap "autographed" photos).
For me to find myself drawn in to following a given singer is quite surprising and out of character for me. For me to care so much that I've spent significant amounts of my paychecks to acquire years old promotional merchandise of hers is beyond my comphrension. That I am happier than I have been in years, and that I have no regrets, is beyond question. I've tried to analyze it - I do like the sound of her music quite a lot, I enjoy the challenge and intellectual stimulation of translating (or trying to) her lyrics and interviews, and as a young single guy, I find her hellaciously hot. Honestly though, I can't provide a reason for my adoration of Alizée beyond simply that "it makes me happy." For now, that's all I need. Oh, and since people keep mentioning it... I will be at her next concert, whenever, wherever, however.

GRAVE NEWS! -- WARN ALL OF YOUR MALE FRIENDS (and some female too)
There's a virulent new fever that is seriously endangering all of mankind. The epidemic originated in France and rapidly spread through Europe. Now a pandemic, the disease has reached Japan, Mexico, and the US in full force. The most common way of contracting the disease is being exposed to videos such as 'La Isla Bonita' or 'J'en ai marre,' but other songs are also contaigous. The disease has been named -- Alizée-fever Once you have contracted the disease, which affects the brain, you will be completely debilitated within a day and will be forced to think of, watch, and listen to nothing other than Alizée. As of now, there are no known treatments or cures to mitigate the very serious effects of the disease. |

edcognito, I guess I can't exactly relate because I'm 17, but I'm in the same boat in that I've never been a FAN of another musical group. I've thought of a few things that may separate her from all other singers: her singing comes easily - it's not strained, her cute voice comes naturally you can see yourself w/ her - she's seems attainable even if she isn't really - this even applies to guys who are married, you love your wife, but you can still imagine being with Alizée. Along these lines, she is also relatively short, which is good for a not-so-tall guy like me; this is unlike many other performers who are unrealistically tall. Finally, she's a girl you could bring home to your parents, she's very pretty, but not indecent; she has class she's cute sexy; not sultry, overly-exposed sexy there's been very little bad publicity on her - no nasty breakups, no DUI charges etc. - this is a big difference from most American singers - she seems perfect in all ways |

Just a friendly bump....
I thought I would bump this thread (yeah, shameless "self-bump"), just to see the new folks reactions...
What do you guys think? I've seen several people that are following other artists, sometimes quite "ardently". How do you guys feel about the OP? Thanks for any replies, I love seeing what I can get kicked off... Ed

Heh I absolutely hated pop music in my teens and early 20's that's until I discovered Alizée in 2008 I think, I'm more of a tech/trance person. For me Alizée is the first singer I've ever really been a fan of, gosh a fan... A fan to me back then was like some hysterical lunatics made up of mostly screaming teenage girls.
Alizée is special though, its like she has filled the gap for people like us... |

I guess I'll take a stab at this. First, the counseling is within the forum itself.
I have always listened to a variety of music; from classic country & western to new country, rock, pop, blues, jazz, choirs. I, too, never cared to learn about a singer or band. People would ask me, "Who is singing this song?" and I usually could not answer. I really didn't care. Why fill my head with irrelevant information anyways? Having driven an hour each way to and from work the past ten years I gave up on music as I had heard it all, over and over. I found myself listening to talk radio all the time. More irrelevant information, so I pretty much turned the radio off. (Yes, there was a divorce in there somewhere also) So I am minding my own business one night searching forums for suspension parts reviews and out of the blue I get linked to this pretty young French girl. My first thought was here we go again "the selling of sex appeal without a voice". Was I ever WRONG!!!!!!!!! Man, didn't anyone ever tell me to "NOT" judge a book by its cover? From the moment I heard this amazing voice I have have not been myself. Is she beautiful? That is without question. Probably the most beautiful woman these sorry eyes have ever seen. But her voice has captured me like no other. So I started the search for more information; now you tell me why it is all of a sudden so relevant after all these years thinking differently. I have yet to listen to another artist since my discovery Feb 2nd of this year. I believe Ed mentioned the "Domicilles" videos; made me so darn proud I was crying too. Now I am trying furiously to catch up with what I have been missing all these years. It has been thirty nine years since I had any french lessons, but now I must learn more. You are either a fan or not, that is plain and simple. The only question is, "How could you not be?" OK, was this my response to the OP or my intro? I am just as confused as the rest of you as to what has happened to me/us. But I must say I am glad I found Alizée and also you folks here at AAm. I think I'm done now.
