ALIZEE
Her Best Damn Thing

We dug up our little notes for Alizee about a wide variety of themes to know her tastes a bit better, we discover a young woman who is simple, funny, and cultivated.

Cinema

(Films that you have memorized the lines to)

Alizee: There are quite a few. Films like "La Boum", which was on TV during Christmas and that I watched for sure. "Dirty Dancing" by memory too. Afterwards, there are cartoons in the "Aladdin" style that I liked a lot and that I am looking at again with my daughter. In the TV series, there is "Friends" that I know the best, its one of the first TV series that I watched, I have the DVDs at the house and I remember the lines very well.

Resolutions

A.: To not bite my nails anymore, try to go to Corsica more often because I don't always have time, try to eat less candy because I have a sweeth tooth and above all try to do a concert tour. Before everything, to be able to balance family life and stage life, I hope to be able to bring my daughter along with me. To share the album with the public who has already welcomed it very well.

VCR
(What you don't ever wanna miss)

A.: I rarely watch the TV, I look at a lot of TV series, I buy then or I look at them online like everybody. Its above all the series. When there is a new one, I watch the first episode or I record it, I try to see if I like it.

TV Series
(What TV series actor could you be?)

A.: I hesitate... It could be a mix between Monica from "Friends" and of Suzn and Lynette of "Desperate Housewives". Not a bad mix! One could create a new one. We can't identify with just one of the characters because they are extreme, but thats cool because we can identify a little bit with all of them. And we can relate with them in some situations, but not all the time. Otherwise, I am "Desperate Housewives", "Grey's Anatomy", and "Prison Break". I have "Six Feet Under" on DVD at the house, "Sexy & The City" that I know by memory and "Friends" for sure. I tried "Lost" and "Heroes", but it didn't really catch my eye. Maybe its not girly enough (laughs).

TV Shows

I like to do shows where I can sing, speak about music and all that but when I need to speak about my life, the "why", I don't like that so much. There are shows like Cauet, its funny, we are there more to have fun, and I go there relaxed. Everything that I do, I choose ahead of time to not regret it if I don't feel it. I don't go onto a TV show to sell people but to sell music.

I am "Desperate Housewives", "Grey's Anatomy", and "Prison Break". I have "Six Feet Under" on DVD at the house, "Sexy & The City" that I know by memory and "Friends" for sure.

Ipod
(What you listen to over and over again)

A.: For a long time, I have been listening to Mika. I have also liked Christophe Willem's album a lot. Otherwise, when I started to record my album, I listened to Gwen Stefani, Gorillaz, and The Killers over and over again, these are the three albums that I was most inspired from. I wanted to have the urban aspect, tangy and well worked from Gwen Stefani. At the level of the sound, the cartoons and the narration of the Gorillaz inspired me, and The Killers, artistically, its the album that I like the most. To explain what I like musically, it was necessary to have examples for the guys I worked with. When its known what I listened to, we feel a bit of this influence more.

Internet

A.: I am very well versed with the computer, I go on the Internet a lot. I worked a lot with the people who do my official site to make something that resembles me and that is very interactive. Myspace, I try to use it, I read all my messages but it is impossible to respond to all of them. Facebook, I used it too, but its more personal, for my friends, I don't use it professionally like I do with Myspace.

Interviews
(Do you pay attention to what you say in interviews?)

A.: It depends. If I need to, I read, but I don't buy magazines. I avoid reading it because I am always scared of the way that they will edit what I said. In retrospect, I read all the chronicles because it is interesting to know people's opinion about my music. I took two years to make the album and it is very important to me see what people think. I rarely see negative chronicles, if its the case, I will see if what is written is judiciously done. I tell myself that I can't satisfy everybody, if its well written and constructed, I understand it very well.
