Alizée, ma Muse - Chronology

The aim of this is to provide as much as possible an English translation of the dedication and hard work that Homer as done in providing as far as possible a complete version of Alizée showbiz life up to the present day.

Alizée Chronology Version 5 Dated 28th April 2008

  • Alizée birth date 21st August 1984 in Ajaccio Corsica
  • 1988: She begins to have dance classes
  • 1995: she wins a drawing competition, the completed design is put on an aeroplane, and the plane is called Alizée.
  • 2000: Alizée auditions for "Graines de star". First in Corsica (in the césar palace) and then in Paris interpreting the song "waiting for tonight". Although for several reasons the precise date of this is not clear for example it appears in some videos that it is actually 19th December 1999. Whilst when Graines de Star was broadcasted, a fragment of the video appears with the label: Audition January 2000.
  • 25th February 2000: Alizée on "Graines de Star" performs "Ma Prière" which was originally sung by Axelle Red. In which Alizée comes first (source Nidalizée) However another source states it is the 26th of January (gourmand'alizée). 
  • 14th April 2000: She returns again on "Graines de Star", performing once again "Ma Prière" and this time Alizée also sings "Oh Happy Days" alongside three others; Marie and Sydney aged 13 and Claire 16. Claire won, whilst Alizée 15 at the time came second. (source Nidalizée). Claimed on another site it was 27th of February (gourmand'alizée).  There is some doubt about the exact dates of "Graines De Star" performances by Alizée due to schedule changes on the show. Some videos show Alizée performances as dated in 1999, however Homer feels the above dates are correct.
  • Spring 2000: L. Boutonnant and P. Soloman do the photo session that will be the official promotional photo's for Moi...Lolita.
  • 21st May 2000: Moi... Lolita begins to be aired on the radio
  • 4th July 2000: Moi... Lolita single is released (source Nidalizée
  • 26th July 2000: The video of the song Moi...Lolita was released for the first time exclusively on the M6 network (source actualizée not to be confused with the magazine of the same name)  (Some websites claim that the actual date is the 28th July 2000)
  • 6th September 2000: Recorded appearance on Hit Machine that will be shown on the 16th.
  • 8th September 2000: A news article and interview with Alizée in Ajaccio is broadcasted on the program "Le Grand Soir" with Jean-Pierre Foucault. Alizée's conduct throughout is mysterious, a trait that has continued until the present. She also performs Moi...Lolita and this is the first time since "Graines De Star" that she has appeared on TV. (Sources un brin d'Alizée , Nidalizée& tinkalizée)
  • 16th September 2000: She appeared on "Hit Machine" on channel M6. On this occasion she appears dressed much more simplistic than she did in "Le Grand Soir." (Source Nidalizée & tinkalizée) She demonstrates the great fluent dancer that she is.  In the evening of the same day at 18:15 hours she appears on studio 22 on RTL channel. In the interview Alizée gave, she stated that she is the one who chooses the subjects of her songs, and that the songs are about her life experiences. It is then Mylène Farmer who interprets these experiences and turns them into songs. It is for this reason that "Goumandises" is an autobiographical album. There is no video of this interview, nor is there much information about the interview, but it is commentated on Alizée Web in the news section and the section regarding television appearances. In addition there are photos of it and an audio recording.
  • 23rd September 2000: Appeared on "Fan De" on channel M6 at 12:05 hours. (Source tinkalizée) This is the famous interview with Alizée on the boat. There is some confusion over the date of this video because there are several dates. There is the 23rd of September and there is February 2001 (or June of the same year but these are no more then repetitions (Source tinkalizée)). However there are several reasons why the correct date must be September 2000. Firstly her hairstyle is short in the video and matches the style she had in September. Secondly the  logos of the programs are different. In the September transmission, the logo is an orange star in the bottom left of the screen with "Fan de" on it. In the 2001 version underneath  "fan de", the words "best of" appears and this is a definite sign that it is just a repeat of the original interview.

The rest of the spectacle will be broadcasted on the 1st and 8th of July, and because of this there is confusion over the dates. (Tinkalizée for example states this was the 8th of July, but this is wrong as she was promoting in Germany at that time). Here there were numerous problems, problems with the sound test and audio (and there seems to be possibly problems with blackouts and electricity cuts leaving the situation in jeopardy). The reaction of the crowd was nasty and booed her and insulted her. This resulted in Alizée refusing to sign autographs. She also sang "j'en ai marre" which was relayed on Italia1. One Italian fan writes of the disappointment and disgust in not signing autographs (see Homers notes for Italian message).

26th August 2003: First Alizée concert: It took place in the mythical Olympia, Paris, in the middle of enormous sense of expectancy and excitement. It was a great success and led to the tour being extended. The tour, which was going to last until The 4th of September, was now going to last until 17th of January 2004 going around the whole of France and finishing in the Zenith concert hall in Paris. The first review of the concert was in "Le Parisian"" L'Olympia was waiting for Alizée, But last night, the first star was not the 19 year old beautiful Lolita, but her godmother Myléné Farmer. The star had to be here for the scene of the little Protégé's first steps. Her apparition on the balcony caused some movement in the crowd, everyone desperately trying to see her. There were inevitable fans screaming, "Myléne" last night, as well as young spectators. A lot of children with their parents were febrile to finally see Alizée, their favourite singer. "She's my idol", said Thaïs, 10 year old from Troyes. "I have posters of her in my room, I know all her songs and I even repeat the chorography." Valérie her mother agreed, "She always speaks of her. It doesn't bother me. Some adults reproach to Alizée for her sexy side, but I think it's a part of the show. I know that my daughter will not dress that way after the concert." It's true that Alizée might drive some adults crazy with her small white extra-short and her majorette boots.Sitting on a big metallic shoe, which is the décor, the young girl came of her pedestal in front of an Olympia already frenzied. Then, surrounded by six musicians and two choristers, she gave life to her image, mixture of refreshing innocence and soft sensuality. A swaying walk here, a lovely smile there, a striped very short nightdress for her second appearance. There were even big fish who turned around her during "Jen ai Marre" to remind us that she has a "soft skin" in her "bubble bath". After some songs, it was clear, despite the voice sometimes being drowned in the powerful sound of the group. But in front of an audience who supports her, Alizée succeeded unsurprisingly on her first show." On the same day "A Contre-courant" is broadcasted on the radio (NRJ). (Source Un Brin d'Alizée)
