Alizée made her début with the single, Moi... Lolita on the 4 July 2000. It is her most successful single to date. It was a instant hit throughout most of Europe and parts of east Asia, reaching number one in several countries. Alizée's image was that of a seductive Lolita character, referring to the novel by Vladimir Nabokov. The video for the single showed Alizée as a village girl visiting a night-club. Four months after the single her debut album "Gourmandises" was released. The album written entirely by Farmer and Boutonnat, has sold over 1,3 million copies in France. It was certified Platinum in just three months by the SNEP. In 2001, the album was released internationally, and she became the highest-selling female French singer in 2001. The album went on to sell over 2 million copies worldwide. Farmer and Boutonnat kept a tight rein how the album was marketed and controlled the image in which Alizée was portrayed. In the mean time, Alizée gave very few interviews, and even when she did, they did not stretch beyond 20 minutes per journalist. Neither did she agree to any photoshoots.
Her second single L'Alizé followed soon after. It was also successful giving her first number one in France, and gained some success internationally. The video of the "sexily alliterative" song shows Alizée amidst soap bubbles against a pink backdrop singing about herself. The video was shot in a studio in Brussels, which had a 25 metre by 10 metre painted canvas to serve as the background—with real bubbles. This single was followed up with another single from the same album - the title song, Gourmandises. The video, which shows a group of young boys and girls out on a picnic, was shot in a day. The last single from this album was Parler Tout Bas, which deals with the theme of dreams and a loss of innocence. In France, "Parler tout bas" was the third single followed by the release of "Gourmandises".
In 2003, Alizée returned with her second album "Mes Courants Électriques". With the release of this album, she changed her image from a 'Lolita' to that of a more toned-down teenager. This album was also written by Farmer and Boutonnat. The style of the music didn't change so much but the album was more critically acclaimed than the previous one. While it had much success in and outside France, worldwide it managed to sell 1.000.000 copies, less than its predecessor. The album has an international version featuring English versions of four tracks.
The first single from this album, Je N'ai Marre! was released in 2003. The music video for this shows Alizée in a glass cage, singing while having water splashed on her. The plexiglass cage, 3 by 3 meters in dimension, was constructed in a Parisian studio, and the shooting of the video took two days. An English-language version of this song, titled I'm Fed Up, was also released, and featured similar visuals for the music video. The other singles from this album were J'ai pas Vingt ans and À contre-courant. Like Je N'ai Marre, J'ai Pas Vingt Ans, Youpidou and Amelie M'a Dit also had English versions. The video for J'ai Pas Vingt Ans (I'm Not Twenty) resembles the ambience of a concert with Alizée dancing in the midst of several other dancers. À Contre-courant, the last single from this album, was shot in an abandoned coal factory. Unlike the other two singles, there was no English-language rendition of this song.
Following the release of her second studio album, Mes Courants Électriques, Alizée toured around France and had two performances in Belgium and Switzerland, during the second half of the year 2003. The tour started off with a performance on August 26, 2003 in Paris. It concluded with her performance on the eve of January 17, 2004 at the Le Zénith concert hall in Paris and had covered major cities including Lyon, Rouen, Lille, Grenoble and Dijon, among others.
A live CD and DVD, titled "Alizée En Concert", comprising of selected performances from her tour, was launched a year later in the fall of 2004. The audio CD contained tracks, taken from her two studio albums. The DVD featured video footage of the same performances as on the CD, along with bonus footage of her rehearsals. The compilation was re-released in early 2007 in Mexico by Universal music as a CD+DVD release, following the featuring of the songs in local radio stations. With the re-release and renewed interest, the songs climbed up the music charts in the country. The album became a hit, peaking at number 4 in the International Chart on May 28, 2007, and number 8 on the main albums chart. En concert has a Gold certification for shipments over 50,000 copies only in Mexico.
Following her marriage in late 2003, Alizée took a hiatus from singing and avoided appearing in the media. She welcomed her first child Annily in 2005. Her first television appearance in two years was on MTV France on February 18, 2006.
After almost two years of fan speculation, on April 3, 2006, a handwritten message, signed Alizée, was received by the webmaster of the fansite Le Nid d'Alizée, stating that she is working on the third album.
On July 7, 2006, the show Le JT de la musique on French TV channel "Europe 2 TV" reported that Alizée has separated from her former producer and song writer Mylène Farmer and was working on her third album. It was also reported that the lyrics of the new album were being penned by Jean Faulques. Her husband, Jérémy Châtelain produces a lot of the album.
Her third album Psychédélices was released in December of 2007. Despite the promotion it had moderate success in France, where it reached number 16 on the albums chart. The album only held its peak position for one week on each chart and fell in the second week. The album was more of a success in Mexico, it debuted at number 44 in the Mexican Top 100 Albums Chart. The album peaked at number 15 in the main chart and number 1 in the international chart. It has sold 300,000 copies so far. Many of her fans were disappointed by this album as it was not produced by Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat. The critics considered it as artistically inferior of her previous efforts.
Only one single was spawned in France from Psychédélices, called Mademoiselle Juliette. It missed the top 20 peaking at number 22. The second single release, Fifty-Sixty, peaked at number 65 in the Mexican single charts. In 2008 Alizée recorded a new studio version of Madonna's hit single La Isla Bonita and was included on a special edition for her album, Psychédélices in Mexico. The song so far has gone on to become a hit becoming Alizée's first top ten single on the national top ten airplay chart.
Following the success of Alizée En Concert and Psychédélices in Mexico, her former label, Universal Music released a compilation album, titled Tout Alizée. The compilation peaked at No. 62 on the Mexico Top 100 Albums Chart and No.20 on the Mexican International Top 20 Albums Chart.
During the Psychédélices tour, she had to cancel a tour date in Paris, stating that she was already working on her new album and it would sound different from all of her previous recordings. The album Une Enfant Du Siècle and was released in France on 29 March 2010. The theme of the album is the life of American model Edie Sedgwick from the birth till the death, based on the style of Andy Warhol. He isn't mentioned in the lyrics but the album has many references on him. The album received positive reviews from critics. However it peaked at No.24 on the French Album Chart aswell as No.22 on the Mexican Albums Chart. The single Limelight was released as a teaser single, being uploaded on 15 February 2010 on British website Popjustice. The main single Les Collines was released on 26 April 2010.
In 2011, she and Jérémy Chatelain divorced.
In Spring 2012, Alizée announced a new album would be released. However Sony delayed the album to Autumn 2012. In the meantime she was featured on the single Clara veut la Lune by Alain Chamfort.On 27 June 2012, Alizée announced on live chat that the first single, À cause de l'automne from the new album was to be released 28 June 2012. She also revealed that for the new album she was working with Jean-Jacques Goldman, BB Brunes and Thomas Boulard were also working on the album, The first music video was shot on 15 July 2012 and was released on 5 December 2012. The video features Alizée exploring the themes of autumn (i.e playing with autumn leaves and umbrellas). The first performance of the single was on RFM radio on 21 December 2012 where she sang the song in a live broadcast. It charted at 131 on the French Singles Chart. The album was yet again delayed to Spring 2013. In January, she revealed the artwork and name for the album, which is named 5. The album incorporates dance-pop,rock and ballads. This was her first album to not chart in the French Album Chart.
In 2014, following the success of her appearance (and win) on popular French tv show Danse avec les stars , she released her sixth studio album, Blonde on 23 June 2014. The single Blonde was released months earlier on 18 March 2014. The song peaked at No.63 while the album peaked at No.20. It was considered a commercial failure.
Alizée now owns a dance studio in Ajaccio, Corsica with her now-husband Grégoire Lyonnet and welcomed a baby girl called Maggy Lyonnet on 24 November 2019.
Mademoiselle Juliette
Alizée Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Son Roméo dans l'Alpha
De Vérone à Rome elle court
Joli syndrome de l'amour
Shakespeare s'amuse de sa muse
L'héroïne trouve qu'il abuse
Elle monte vite dans les tours
Mademoiselle Juliette a
Pas vraiment la tête à
Choisir entre Montaigu, Capulet
Mademoiselle Juliette aimerai faire la fête
Champagne à sabrer, coca à décapsuler
Mademoiselle prend des aises
Ne pas se faire mettre en pièce
Dans son rôle elle ne veut qu'elle
Pas de répliques de toutes pièces
Cette commedia dell'arte
N'est pas assez déjantée
Qu'enfin William rende l'âme
Il n'y a plus que ça pour éviter le drame
Mademoiselle Juliette a
Pas vraiment la tête à
Choisir entre Montaigu, Capulet
Mademoiselle Juliette aimerai faire la fête
Champagne à sabrer, coca à décapsuler
Mademoiselle Juliette a
Pas vraiment la tête à
Pleurer sur Montaigu, Capulet

Aah, aah, aah, aah

The song Mademoiselle Juliette by French singer Alizée is a playful and rebellious take on the classic story of Romeo and Juliet, from the perspective of the leading lady. The lyrics describe Juliette's desire to live life to the fullest and have fun, rather than being consumed by the tragic love story that has been written for her.
The first verse sets the scene, with Juliette running from Verona to Rome in pursuit of her Romeo. However, as the song continues, it becomes clear that Juliette is not content to simply play her predetermined role - she finds Shakespeare's portrayal of her character limiting and resents being used as a pawn in his story. She wants to break free from the constraints of the tale and enjoy herself, no matter the consequences.
Throughout the song, the tone is light-hearted and irreverent, with Juliette's desire for champagne and Coca-Cola standing in stark contrast to the tragic fate that awaits her. The repeated refrain of "Mademoiselle Juliette a / Pas vraiment la tête à" (Mademoiselle Juliette doesn't really feel like...) emphasizes her carefree attitude and her refusal to be trapped in her role as a tragic heroine. Ultimately, the song is a celebration of living in the moment and rejecting the expectations placed upon us - even if it means defying the greatest playwright of all time.

Белый кролик
Я видел цветок только во сне
Проснулся и нету его
Время отмерило промежуток пути
Где мои цветок
Как тебя мне найти
Помню как сияла
Озаряла мне путь
Может немного снова уснуть
Миг лишь открыл завесы стекло
Ты где-то здесь а я далеко
Время преграды раскинула нить
Ты все сияешь а мне уж не жить
Вижу цветок сквозь призму
стекла
Ты всё же есть значит жизнь хороша

Désolé, je ne parle pas français, je vous écris en espagnol (traducteur google):
...Envío este mensaje a una persona a la cual admiro mucho, no solamente por lo bellísima que es, sino además porque es una gran artista en el mundo de la música.
Un dia, no hace mucho tiempo, me encontré con un vídeo musical en YOUTUBE de una lindísima joven muchacha francesa que se llama ...ALIZÉE, tengo que decir que, desde el primer momento me quedé cautivado por la enorme belleza que esta joven francesa posee, esa fué la primera impresión, luego a medida que he ído viéndo mas y mas vídeos de ella, además me gusta su forma de bailar, de moverse, de sonreír, sus gestos, su voz y por supuesto también sus líndas canciones.
Ya desde el comiénzo, casi TE ENAMORAS DE ELLA, ...quién diría lo contrario?
Ves un vídeo de ella, luego otro, y otro, y otro mas, y ya no solamente te gusta ella, sino también su música, sus canciones, y ya no te puedes "desprender" de sus imágenes, del sonido de sus vídeos, se apoderan de tí poco a poco, y te van enamorando cada vez mas, hasta que empiézas de alguna manera a ...AMARLA.
Cada imagen suya, cada movimiento, cada pose, cada gesto, cada milímetro de su cara y de su cuerpo ya no puedes dejar de mirarla una y otra vez sin descanso.
Entonces tienes que escribirle, comentar algo en su vídeo, intentar de alguna manera poder transmitir lo que sientes al ver y oír lo que ella te ha presentado, a tí y a todos los demás.
Luego y casi sin quererlo, viene "la otra parte" en tus sentimientos, el querer conocerla, el querer hablarle, que ella te hable, tenerla ante tí, poder de alguna manera llegar a tocarla, verla sonreírte, y tener su amistad y su cariño; y como no, también poder darle eso todo por tu parte.
Pero eres consciente que, "es como un sueño", que tan solo podrás verla y oírla por medio de un aparato electrónico, por medio de una pantalla y unos altavoces.
Sin embargo, aún asi, lo que comiénzas a sentir "te entra tan adentro del Alma", que empiézas a sentir en tu interior sentimientos tan positivos, sentimientos sinceros de ternura, de amistad, de cariño, de Amor, de protección; empiézas a verla como a una amante (primero) porque como hombre la deseas, pero también y si esos sentimientos son sinceros la ves como a una hermana, como a una hija, como a una verdadera amiga, todo a la vez.
Y te sientes tan bien con sus canciones, su música, sus imágenes, que ya no puedes dejar de verla y de escucharla; en definitiva, que de alguna manera "te quedas ligado a ella" de ahí en adelante.
Todo lo que sientes es POSITIVO, sientes atracción física, sientes cariño, sientes Amor, sientes alegría, sientes buenos deseos, sientes amistad, y ...SIENTES LA "LUZ QUE ILUMINA" TU VIDA DE TODO LO BUENO Y POSITIVO.
Y te sientes agradecido, por la gente tan bella que exíste en el mundo, gente que te hacen sentir todos los buenos sentimientos, que te llenan de las sensaciones mas grandes, de las sensaciones mas hermosas, es como si un ANGEL "entrara" en tu vida, y de alguna manera "te tocara" transmitiéndote todo EL BIEN, "limpiándo" tu Alma y alejandote de todo lo vanal y vulgar, y te sientes agradecido, y díces dentro de tí una y mil veces ...GRACIAS (MERCI), GRACIAS (MERCI) por todo lo bueno que nos das, GRACIAS (MERCI) por todo lo bueno que nos haces sentir, GRACIAS (MERCI) por existir, GRACIAS (MERCI) por estar ahí aunque muchos te veamos y escuchemos desde lejos, GRACIAS (MERCI) por esforzarte en hacernos sentir bien, GRACIAS (MERCI) por hacernos sentir alegres, GRACIAS (MERCI) por hacernos sentir Pasión, GRACIAS (MERCI) por hacernos sentir amistad, GRACIAS (MERCI) por hacernos sentir cariño, GRACIAS (MERCI) por dejarnos anonadados con tu arte, GRACIAS (MERCI) por deleitarnos con tu enorme belleza, GRACIAS (MERCI) por hacer que te admiremos, GRACIAS (MERCI) por ser como "un ejemplo" para nosotros, GRACIAS (MERCI) por estar en lo mas alto, GRACIAS (MERCI) por ser una "estrella", GRACIAS (MERCI) por "iluminarnos", GRACIAS (MERCI), GRACIAS (MERCI), GRACIAS (MERCI) por todo lo bueno que nos das...
Te veo en las imágenes de mi computadora, una y otra vez, y otra, y otra mas, sin cansarme, y "recorro" todo tu ser con mi mirada, tu cara, tu cuerpo, cada milímetro de tí, y no me canso, al contrario, me admíro cada vez mas, y mas, y ...me siento tan bien, se me olvída cualquier preocupación, "me alejo" del mundo, "me alejo" de la tristeza, "me alejo" del desánimo, y me siento tan felíz, como si me encontrara en otro mundo mejor, como si todo lo malo no existiéra.
Y tengo que decír mi hermosísima ALIZÉE, que TE ADORO, que TE QUIERO, que TE AMO, que TE DESEO TODO LO MEJOR QUE ESTA VIDA TE PUEDA DAR, que SIEMPRE ESTES ALEGRE, que SIEMPRE REINE LA PAZ EN TU VIDA, que SIEMPRE ESTES TAN HERMOSA, que SIEMPRE NOS QUIERAS, que SIEMPRE NOS ANIMES, que NUNCA NOS OLVÍDES, que NUNCA TE ALEJES, que SIEMPRE NOS HAGAS SENTIR TAN BIEN, que TE CUÍDES MUCHO, que SIEMPRE TENGAS EL BIEN REINANDO TODA TU VIDA, que SIEMPRE SONRÍAS, que TENGAS UNA VIDA MUY FELÍZ, que CONSIGAS A ALGUIEN QUE TE AME DE VERDAD COMO PAREJA, que SE CUMPLAN TUS SUEÑOS, que SIEMPRE TE RODEES DE TUS SERES MAS QUERIDOS, que SIEMPRE "BRILLES" COMO UNA ESTRELLA, que SIEMPRE TENGAS UN ALMA JOVEN, que SIEMPRE GOZES DE LA MEJOR SALÚD, que SIEMPRE ESTEMOS ORGULLOSOS DE TÍ.
Mi lindísima ALIZÉE, quiero seguir enviándote elogios, y los busco en mi mente, y ya no se donde encontrarlos, me siento que me he quedado "corto" con todo lo que te he escrito, que aún me quedan mas y mejores cosas para decirte, pero que ahora mismo "se me escapan", pero no importa, ...MI CIELO, ...MI NIÑA LÍNDA, ...MI AMOR, ...MI TESORO, ...MI VIDA, ...MI ALEGRIA, ...MI PAZ, ...MI PASIÓN, eres una de las mejores cosas que me han ocurrído en mi vida, el poder apreciar lo bueno y hermoso que también existe, aunque tan solo seas para mí una imagen y un sonido a lo lejos, pero ya es bastante, muchísimo mas que bastante; creo que si te conociéra en persona, sentiría algo de "miedo", "miedo" a decepcionarte, "miedo" a no poder darte lo que esperarías de mí, "miedo" a no gustarte, y "miedo" a que después te alejes de nuevo de mí.
SIEMPRE HE AMADO Y ADMIRADO A FRANCIA, POR SU MODO DE VIVÍR, POR SUS GENTES, POR SU MENTALIDAD, POR SU BELLEZA, POR SU TRANQUILIDAD, POR SU ORGANIZACIÓN, POR SU LIMPIEZA, POR SUS COSTUMBRES, POR SU GASTRONOMÍA, Y ADEMÁS ...POR SUS HERMOSÍSIMAS MUJERES.
HASTA SIEMPRE MI AMADA ALIZÉE, SIEMPRE TE RECORDARÉ HASTA EL ÚLTIMO DIA DE MI VIDA.
TE QUIERO MUCHO!!!

Muses are called to the divine path,

Recuerdo cuando Alizée era como la Dua Lipa de su epoca, me parecio raro que despues perdio popularidad , estaba bien encaminada para ser ahora una mega estrella del pop.

Aliźée ha preferido sus niños, su amor, la dansa y su vida en la isla Corsa.

Claro, tenía un toque exótico, no era como el resto de cantantes, y originalidad también. Algo así como Dua Lipa, según dices.
