Alizee is Really a Great Actress !

[Marshal Davout]

I wax Poetic about Alizee and perhaps you will forgive me ? Monday May 27th is our Veterans day; and being somewhat of a veteran; I am still "kicking" as they say. And so I relate a story about Alizee I heard in Corsica. I was there as an amateur Writer and Historian researching Napoleon; where he was born and the Bonapartes house there is a museum. An old man approached me at my table in the restaurant and asked if I would like to hear the story of Alizee ? I told him I do not know who that is ? You wouldn't he said as america does not play singers who do not sing in english and Alizee only sang in French when she started out ! I see, I said ! You must suspend some disbelief he said. I guess I can do that !
You see in France there is a Fairy Queen of the Fairies of the Field and one of her Fairies was gathering Berries for her to eat in the south of France ! ( At this point of course, I began to doubt my old man ! ) But a fierce storm came up and blew the Fairy out to sea; and try as she might, she could not fly back ! And so the Fairy got blown clear to the Island of Corsica ! And she finally lighted in a Tree where she had to rest !
Now at the same time; there was a young girl in Corsica who had a bad stepmother who used to beat her. And a guy invited her to go by bus to the Disco in town where there was a new band and they would dance ! And so he gave her money for the bus ! So the girl stole away to the disco to dance ! She took her younger sister as a chaperone ! A friend of the stepmother saw her and told the stepmother; so the next day she told Alizee, I am going to beat you, because you went to the Disco ! But Alizee didn't want to be beat; so she ran out of the house and into the Forest !
At the same time; the Fairy slipped on the morning dew on the branch and fell before she could fly into some brambles and weeds and there she got perfectly caught with her Wings, and her Bow and Quiver and Arrows and her Sword all entangled up and she couldn't get out ! But that wasn't the worse; as two cats started to hunt her; as they thought she was a Bird ! And the Fairy thought she was a goner as the cats came for her; and so she could do nothing except Yell; "Help Me !, Help Me! for the Cats hunt me !
And Alizee heard her cries and came to help and shooed the Cats away, as she likes cats, and Freed the Fairy from the Weeds and Brambles ! The Fairy flew up into the Tree !
Now the Fairy told her; It is your Lucky Day, Alizee, as you have saved the life of a Fairy; and I must grant you 3 Wishes ! What do you wish for ? Alizee told her ; " I want to be a Famous Dancer and Singer, so I can make Francs and escape my cruel stepmother ! This is a hard wish to do; Can you Dance and Sing at all ? Alizee told her I have been taking Dancing lessons since I was four and I can sing a little bit ! well said the Fairy; and after a ceremony to be related later ; she granted Alizee's wish ! But when will I be Famous asked the girl ? You must enter all of the Dancing and Singing contests you can and you will win some and you will be noticed and you will have the Luck of the Fairies with You !
Soon you will become famous and no longer will you be the French country girl Alizee Jacotey; you will become Alizee !
And so the rest is History, as they say !
And if you don't believe my story; you should realize that the woman Alizee has a Tattoo upon her back, and the Tattoo is of a Fairy, and the Fairy Tinker Bell !

Alizee's song is a hit with the Spanish, Mexicans, South America i think; because it has 166 Million Plays !
My friend tells people somewhere "She can Dance your Head Off, because she won the French "Dancing With the Stars !"
