How did the French singer Alize die? An interesting biography of the French singer Alizée Jacotet...

The popular singer and dancer from France with a very unusual name and beautiful voice, Alizée Jacotey, needs no introduction. Her songs, combining beautiful melodies and highly professional vocals, allowed her to win her own audience and loyal fans.

Brief biography of Alize Jacotet

The talented Corsican was born on August 21, 1984 in the capital of the French island, the city of Ajaccio, where she lived with her parents and younger brother Johann until she moved with her husband to Paris. Alize’s parents, who were passionate about windsurfing, named theirs after the sea wind – L’Alize. Currently, Alizée Jacoté and his family live on the Champs-Elysees.

From early childhood, Alizée demonstrated musical abilities and an insatiable desire to dance. Already at the age of four she knew how to move perfectly to music and began attending a dance school in Ajaccio - Ecole du Spectacle Monique Mufraggi.

Singing and dancing are not the only talents of this cute girl from Corsica. Alizée Jacotet's biography contains stories of high-profile victories won at a young age. When she was eleven years old, she took part in a competition announced by the aviation company Air Outre Mer. Her drawing, made on the body of an airplane, the image of which was placed on a special form, took first place. As a reward, she received a trip to the Maldives, her drawing was then applied to a real plane, which was named after her! Not every girl at her age can do this!

Frail Alize practices Thai boxing to maintain her physical fitness. She is also a passionate football fan. But still, music and dancing remain the main loves of young Alize. She has excellent skills in various dance genres - classical, jazz and flamenco. She also has ballet experience.

It was thanks to her passion for dancing that four years after winning a drawing competition, Alize decided to take part in a television music show on the Métropole 6 channel – Graines de Star (Young Stars). She was unable to perform a dance number, since only groups participated in this category, so Alize decided not to refuse to participate in the competition and prepared a vocal number in English. Unfortunately, she did not advance to the next stage.

Returning to the show a month later with a French song, Alize won. The song of the popular French singer Axelle Red, My Prayer (Ma Prière), performed by young Alizée Jacoté, charmed the jury, who awarded her the “Meilleure Graine” music award as the most promising young talent.

How my career began

This victory became the starting point in the career of the young singer. She was noticed by the masters of the French musical Olympus - singer Mylène Farmer (Mylene Farmer) and composer Laurent Boutonnat (Laurent Boutonnat) and offered cooperation to continue her vocal career.

Her stage image became Lolita - a young beauty with a sexy appearance in revealing clothes. In life, Alize was radically different from her creative image: she was a rather timid and modest girl, not much different from her peers - teenagers. Nevertheless, despite her shyness, Alize liked to be the center of attention since childhood.

Already in May 2000, Alize released her first single, written by Mylène Farmer especially for the young talent - “Moi... Lolita” (“I... Lolita”). Just a couple of months later, Laurent Button shot the singer’s first video for this song, which took only two days to film.

In the story, Alize plays a village girl who dreams of living in a big city. Filming took place in a modest house and barley fields in the town of Senlis, as well as in the fashionable disco club in Paris “Les Bains Doucher”.

The success of the first single was so deafening that it amazed even its authors and organizers. For six months it remained in the top ten best-selling - during this time more than one and a half million copies of the single were sold! This was not possible not only for newcomers, but even for popular stars. A few years later, Alize’s single was used to advertise the film “A Good Year” (UK), which was filmed in 2006.

A month later, she released her debut album, “Gourmandises,” which also included the single “I am Lolita.” Thanks to her first album, the French singer Alizée Jacoté became popular not only in France, but also far beyond its borders. Her songs were also loved by radio listeners around the world - in Japan, Canada, Germany, Russia and many other countries. In just three months it became platinum. It sold over a million copies in France alone.

Light songs, coupled with Alize’s beautiful vocals, instantly fell in love with young audiences and critics. The result of her resounding success was the first professional music award, awarded to Alizée Jacote in November of the same year by M6 TV in the “Discovery of the Year” category.

The singer became recognizable and in demand. She gave interviews to many music television and radio channels, took part in photo shoots and charity events. For many years, along with other celebrities, Alize was part of the group “Les Enfoirés” (“The Stupid”), which gives charity concerts. The funds received from the concerts were transferred to a special fund to help those in need - “Les Restaurants du Coeur” (“Restaurants of the Heart”).

Creation

Alize’s next successful project, in collaboration with Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, was the second single, “Passat” (“L’Alizé”). It was released at the end of November 2000. Literally a week later, Pierre Stine shot a video for it. Despite its simplicity, the video still played an important role in promoting the album.

So Alize ended the year 2000 on a positive note - the first in her professional career. The next year was no less successful for the singer. In January 2001, she received her second professional award: the French radio station NRJ named her “Discovery of the Year.”

In April, the singer’s third single “Parler tout bas” (“Speak very quietly”) was released, for which a video clip was immediately shot under the same name. Wanting to show Alize’s farewell to her childhood, Laurent, who this time acted as the project manager, came up with a somewhat gloomy plot. Lyric poems were set to slow music. In the story, Alize sings surrounded by living dolls, and at the end of the video she buries one of them, as if saying goodbye to childhood illusions. According to the public and critics, this is not the most successful video clip for Alize Jacoté.

In the summer of the same year, Universal Music released Alize's first album in several countries in Europe and Asia. In total, more than four million copies of “Treats” have been sold worldwide.

At the same time, the singer began to be recognizable in Russia. In April, she gave an interview to the Europe Plus radio station. And in the summer of the same year, Alize was invited to the ceremony of presenting the Russian music festival “Stopudovy Hit”, which was held by the radio “Hit FM”, where she performed her song. That same day she gave a press conference. The MTV Russia TV channel aired an interview with Alize.

Under the direction of Nicholas Hidiroglu, a video was shot for the song “Gourmandises” from the album of the same name in one of the outskirts of Paris, where Alize is relaxing with his friends, whose roles were chosen by young people from Parisian modeling agencies. This time it took only one day to shoot the video clip. The plot of the video, of course, is somewhat simple: young people are having fun in nature, but nevertheless, a well-chosen team contributed to the sales of the album as a whole.

Less than a year after filming this video, in March 2002, the singer won the World Music Award competition, which was held in Monte Carlo. This time she was awarded as the best performer who achieved record high sales for 2001 in France and abroad.

The next single, released by Alize, was heard on the radio in early January 2003. For almost a year nothing was heard about her, but after the release of her fourth single, people started talking about her again. Dozens of specialized magazines reported on the return of “little Mylene” and published an interview with Alize.

In mid-February, Alize starred in a new video for the song “I’ve had enough!” (“J’en Ai Marre!”). The action takes place in an aquarium, where Alize appears in the form of a goldfish. It was not only released in French. The English version of the video was called “I’m Fed Up!” Immediately after filming the video, many publications published an interview with the young singer entitled “The Story of Alize’s Return.”

As soon as the single hit the store shelves, it immediately took second place on the charts. Unfortunately, the single failed to stay at the top of the charts for long. Its sales were far from being as massive as her first works - no more than several hundred thousand copies in France.

In March 2003, work was completed on Alizée Jacoté's third album, released under the title “Mes courants electriques” (“My electrical discharges”). The French version of the album includes eleven tracks. The foreign version included English versions of four songs by the singer. Although the album was designed in the style of Mylène Farmer, it was different from Alize's first album. The matured singer sang more mature songs, although some of them (for example, “Toc de mac”, “Youpidou” and the already mentioned “J’en ai marre!”) sounded as if a child was singing them.

In the same month, she took part in the Eurobest 2003 ceremony, which brought together Star Factory laureates from nine European countries. Russia was also represented at this event. Here Alize performed her most famous song “I am Lolita” in a duet with Pasha Artemyev (group “Korni”) and received a standing ovation from the audience.

In preparation for a European tour in May 2003, Alize starred in a new video clip – J’ai Pas Vingt Ans (“I’m not twenty years old”). Immediately after the release of the video, a new single by the beautiful Corsican under the same name began to be sold in stores.

In the fall of 2003, Alize recorded the third single from the album “My Electric Discharges” - “In the Counter Current”, filmed by director Pierre Steen.

In 2004, Alize continues to actively participate in charity events and various television shows, where he performs in duets with other famous performers. She has already changed her image: she grew her hair and got a piercing in her tongue, which caused mixed responses from her fans. In the summer of the same year, she began to be noticed at the concerts of Jeremy, whom a French boulevard magazine had recently named Alize’s fiancé. The publication even reported the date of their upcoming wedding. For some time there was no reaction from the singer to this sensational news. Only a few weeks after the publication, a refutation of the rumors appeared on the singer’s official website – moi-alizee.com.

In August 2004, French channels began showing her new video, Amelie m’a dit, which also included clips of her concert tour.

A party was scheduled for October 7, 2004 at the Louvre to preview the live DVD, which almost never took place. Only 50 of her fans attended and only 20 CDs were sold. The singer did not want to come to the event.

The release of the disc “En concert” took place on October 18. For some time the album was included in the chart and ranked 38th. But after just over a month, it falls off the chart, it is practically not shown on television and is played on the radio. Many publications cited the reason for this failure as the return of Mylene Farmer to the stage, who indeed soon released her own album.

Media about Alize Jacot. Rumors about the singer's death

For several months since the end of 2004, many French publications discussed the news of Alize’s pregnancy and even published photographs of her in an “interesting” position. For ardent fans of the French singer in the image of Lolita, this came as a real shock. A few months later, in April 2005, Alize and her lover Jeremy had a wonderful daughter, whom the happy parents named Annily.

After the birth of the child, Alize postponed the release of a new album for some time. She even temporarily closed her official website. There were rumors that the singer wanted to change her image and change producer. Counterfeits of supposedly new songs by Alizée Jacoté began to appear on the World Wide Web. For a long time there were even rumors about the death of the French singer. The unknown greatly tormented her fans, who were eager to find out the truth. We hasten to reassure everyone who loves the talented Jacote Alize: rumors about her death are greatly exaggerated. She is in excellent health, raising her daughter and successfully recording new albums.

For the first time, cd maxi and vinyl will not be released along with the single; their release is scheduled for November 12, 2003.

In the winter of 2004 on its official website Alizee declares that he wants to relax and takes a three-year break.

However, Alizee participates in charity events and still appears on television, but in a new image. Alizi grows her hair and gets a piercing on her tongue.

At the end of August, a concert video for the song Amelie m"a dit appeared on French music channels. On October 7, at the Virgin music hypermarket in the Louvre, at 12 midnight, a party was organized to preview the live DVD by Alize fans.

On October 18, a concert CD & DVD was released Alizee called "En concert". The album enters the French 200 Albums Chart at 38th place. Then the disc rapidly falls down and after 5 weeks flies out of the chart. The video is shown less and less on TV, and the song Amelie m"a dit is played less and less on the radio. Many explained this by the fact that Alize's producer, Mylene Farmer, plans to return to the stage with a new album, and so it happened...tickets for the concert Mylène Farmer in Bercy in 2006 is already on sale.

On the night of April 29, 2005, in one of the clinics in Paris, the little fairy, so long-awaited, finally appears into the world! Her name is Anni-Li (Annily or Hannah-Lily, the exact spelling is still unknown), weight 3.4 kg, height 51 cm. We wish happiness to the little family!

Alizée is a French singer. At the moment, four studio albums and one concert have been officially released. Alizee’s first single for the song “Moi... Lolita” (“I... Lolita”) was released on May 19, 2000 and immediately firmly established itself in the top ten hits on the best hits. parades and did not leave them for six months, and copies of the single sold more than 1.5 million copies.

Alizee Jacotey was born on August 21, 1984 in Ajaccio in the south of France, on the coast of Corsica. She is the first child in the family. She has brown hair and dark brown eyes. Her parents, big fans of windsurfing, named Alize after one of the winds.
Alize had a happy childhood. She has been dancing since she was four years old and still enjoys dancing most of all. In general, Alize connected her future career with dancing, although she was always a versatile child. In 1995, at the age of 11, Alize won a drawing competition by coloring an airplane on an order form. In addition to a wonderful trip to the Maldives (which I am still very proud of). Her drawing was reproduced in life-size on the cockpit of the plane, which was named "Alizee"!

In December 1999, Alize appeared in the TV show Graines de Star, promoting young talents, with an English song, but did not make it through the qualifying round. A month later, Alize came again, this time with a song by the famous French singer Axelle Red called My Prayer (Ma priere), and this time there was a competition. Moreover, it was this song that allowed Alize to win the Emerging Singer (Graine de chanteuse) nomination at the final broadcast!

Thanks to this performance, Alize was noticed by Mylene Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat. It was they who took up the promotion of Alize’s career. Several tests in the studio, and she was chosen. Already on May 19, 2000, her first single was released - I... Lolita (Moi... Lolita). And in the summer - July 26, 2000 - the first video Moi... Lolita was released, telling about the dreams of a village girl to end up in a big city. Filming the video took 2 days. Scenes involving hundreds of dancers were filmed at the famous Parisian discotheque Les Bains Douches. In turn, the barley fields and Lolita's modest house were filmed near the town of Senlis.

The calculation turned out to be accurate, but even its organizers could not imagine such a success. The single remained in the top ten sales for almost six months; as a result, the single sold more than 1.5 million copies - a result that even the most popular artists do not reach. What is most important is that Alize did not isolate herself within France, her single quickly gained popularity in the distribution of radio stations in various countries - Japan, Canada, Germany, Russia... On November 17, 2000, Alize received her first professional music award - an award in the Discovery of the Year category for prizes from the French TV channel M6. And according to the results of 2000 - January 20, 2001, she was awarded the popular music award of the French radio station NRJ in the same category Discovery of the Year. Alize became famous overnight.

Meanwhile, active work in the studio ended with the release of the debut album of Delicacies (Gourmandises), which was released on November 28, 2000. The album, entirely written by the same Farmer-Boutonnat duo, turned out to be very solid and complete, with excellent vocals from Alize and very entertaining texts - essentially, sketches from the life of a young girl and descriptions of her dreams. A very light youth musical style and the presence of undoubted dance hits (such as Moi... Lolita, Veni Vedi Vici and Gourmandises) guaranteed the album popularity not only in France. In just 3 months of sales, the album went platinum. It sold 300,000 copies and to date, sales total more than 800,000 copies in France. And finally, the total number of discs with Alize's recordings sold in Europe was almost 4 million.

At the same time, on November 28, 2000, the second single Passat (L "Alize) was released to support the album. It undoubtedly fell into the shadow of the album, and therefore its sales were not so successful, but the video of the same name (directed by Pierre Steen), released on television on December 6, 2000, contributed greatly to the promotion of the album. The video itself is quite simple, showing Alize laughing surrounded by soap bubbles.
Of much greater interest is the single Speak More Quietly (Parler tout bas), released on April 24, 2001. The point is not only that a single was released for the first time for a slow lyrical song, but also a wonderful video (released on TV a day later), again directed by Laurent Boutonnat. A very controversial story about a child growing up and parting with childhood illusions...

Meanwhile, Alize's foreign popularity began to translate into real action. In May 2001, regional branches of Universal Music in Japan, Israel, and Holland released localized versions of the album Gourmandises; The first publications about Alize began to appear in Russia. On April 17, 2001, a telephone interview with Alize took place on Radio Europe Plus, and on June 1-2, 2001, Alize visited Russia for the first time! She arrived in Moscow on June 1, 2001, and on June 2, 2001, she performed at the Stopudovy Hit awards ceremony from Hit-FM radio and at a press conference dedicated to this event, and also gave an interview on MTV-Russia broadcast on June 3, 2001 G.

The fourth Gourmandises video was filmed on July 25, 2001. It continues the line of light gaming clips to support audio productions. The plot is quite simple - Alize and his friends go out into the countryside for a picnic, where they eat, drink and have fun. The video was filmed (directed by Nicholas Hidiroglu) over one day in the outskirts of Paris; the boys and girls playing in the video were specially selected from modeling agencies. Later on August 14, 2001, the fourth single Gourmandises was released from the album of the same name.

March 6, 2002 Alize receives his next award. She won the World Music Award, held in Monte Carlo, for the best French female artist with the highest record sales in 2001 in France and abroad.

The return of Alizee or the album "Mes courants electriques"

After a long break, one of the sexiest singers in world pop music returns to us not only with her new single, but also with a fresh album.
The producers of the second album were Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, who helped Alizee during the recording of the first album. The first single from the record was the French song "I've had enough" (J"en ai marre!), and its English version "I"m fed up!"

The single "J" en ai marre" was first heard on radio stations on January 7, 2003. At the same time, Alize appeared on television again. In just one month, more than 10 magazines were released with information about the return of "little Mylene" and all sorts of similar interviews.
Before the release of the new single, Alize shoots a video, which was first shown on February 19, 2003, on the M6 and MCM channels. The video for the song "J"en ai marre" was filmed over 2 days in a studio in Paris in two versions: in French and English. The English version of the video has a slightly different editing. The action of the video takes place in an aquarium, slightly filled with water. Alizee performs as a goldfish. Following the clip, there is a large interview “The History of Alize’s Return” (Histoires d’un retour attendu Alizee) with many video inserts from her performances, etc.

Meanwhile, work on the release of the second album, “My Electric Discharges” (Mes courants electriques), is being completed in the studio. The new album "Mes Courants Electriques" was released in two versions: French and international. The release in France took place on March 18 and immediately took second place in the national chart, and the international release took place on April 15 via Universal Music. The French-language version of the album "Mes courants electriques" includes 11 tracks. For abroad there will be a slightly different version with 4 English songs. The cover of the disc is quite interestingly designed: here you will see a classic disco pop music, practically untouched by time and progress since the late 70s. The album also includes new instruments: electric guitar, etc. In general, the album turned out to be in the standard style of Mylene Farmer, but at the same time it is not at all similar to Alize’s first album. The girl grew up, and her songs became more adult.

At the end of March 2003, Alize participates in the Eurobest 2003 ceremony, where the winners of Star Factories from 9 European countries, including Russia, gather. At this ceremony, Alize, together with Pasha Artemyev (lead singer of the group "Korni"), performs his most famous song "I... Lolita". The audience applauds...

Without hesitation, on May 21, 2003, in support of the upcoming concert tour in Europe, another video “I’m not 20 years old” (J"ai Pas Vingt Ans) was released, followed by a new single on the store shelves on June 3, 2003 for the same name. composition.

Next, Alize is intensively preparing for her first concert tour. The tour begins on August 26, 2003 in Paris, where Alize gives seven concerts in a row at the Olympia Hall. After wonderful shows at Olympia, Alize goes on a three-month tour with concerts not only throughout France, but also Belgium and Switzerland. The climax of the tour was the concert at Le Zenith (Paris) on January 17, 2004... A real colorful show, as Alize herself says. Against the backdrop of an unusual decoration in the form of a pink shoe, Alize presents the audience with her 17 songs from two albums every evening.

Much more interesting than the previous one (in terms of plot) is Alize's next video for the song "A contre-courant", which was released on October 1, 2003. The video was filmed over 2 days in Belgium. The video takes place in a long-abandoned coal processing plant (currently used by firefighters for training). The man shown in the video is a real circus acrobat. Literally a week after the video was shown, on October 7, 2003, the next, already third single, “Countercurrents” (A contre-courant), was released. The release of this single is very important for Alize. For the first time, cd maxi and vinyl will not be released along with the single; their release is scheduled for November 12, 2003.

In February 2004, the magazine "Voici" published information that Alize and her friend Jeremy Chatelain, a native of the same French "Star Factory" (Star Academy), secretly got engaged during their trip to Las Vegas in November 2003. This news shocked the public and even more so the fans, who took this news sharply negatively.

After a long wait, on October 4, 2004, the double album “Gourmandises/Mes Courants Electriques” was released, and on October 18, 2004, the “live” DVD and CD “En concert” was released, which presented Alize’s full “live” video concert, collected from her autumn tour 2003. The presentation is scheduled at the Virgin hypermarket, but Alize does not show up there, thereby disappointing the fans who came. At the same time, the single "Amelie m" a dit" and a video for this song were released, which was often played on radio and television, but soon disappeared from the charts.
2004

On January 17, 2004, Alize gave her final concert at the Le Zenith concert hall in Paris, giving the public a colorful show and performing her seventeen songs from two albums.

After the final concert, starting in February 2004, Alize took a creative break for an indefinite period.

2005-2008
Since Alize suspended her musical activities due to pregnancy in February. Its official website has not been operational since the summer of 2005. During this time, there was a lot of news regarding Alize's return and career continuation, most of which eventually turned out to be false.

However, on April 3, 2006, the webmaster of one of the singer's fan sites received a message, handwritten and signed by Alize, stating that the singer was working on her third album. Here is the Russian translated version of the message:

Hi all!

Just wanted to let you know that I'm currently in the studio...
The new songs are wonderful!!
Kisses to everyone and hope to see you soon!
I promise.

On July 7, 2006, a show on the French TV channel “Europe 2” called “Le JT de la musique” announced that Alizée “is no longer collaborating with her former producer and lyricist Mylène Farmer” and is currently working on creating a third album. It was also announced that the lyrics for the new songs were being written by Jean Faulques. Jeremy Chatelain is also involved with the new album, which he confirmed in his interview.

In September 2007, Alize signed a contract with the RCA Records/Sony BMG record label, and on September 30, her new single “Mademoiselle Juliette” was released. A video for this single will be released on November 19th.

On December 3, 2007, Alizée's third studio album, Psychédélices, was released. It went gold within 4 days, achieving sales of 80,000 copies. Meanwhile, the sales results are more than unsatisfactory: the album only reaches 16th position in the French charts (approximately 11,000 copies were sold in the first week), today 33,000 copies have already been sold, this is much less than the RCA studio planned (100,000 copies). By the spring of 2008, about 500,000 copies of this album had been sold.

From January 23 to January 28, 2008, Alize took part in the charity concert “The Stupid” (French: Les Enfoirés) which was held in Strasbourg at the Zenith Hall. RCA also announces upcoming performances in Mexico and France throughout 2008.

In March, Alize visited Mexico for the first time. A book signing was scheduled for March 5, but was canceled due to security concerns. Alize spoke at an impromptu press conference to apologize to her fans. And she promised to correct this, if possible, during her next visit to Mexico, which will take place during a big tour.

Starting on May 18, 2008, Alize begins a large tour called the “Psychédélices Tour”. The first point of which is Moscow, followed by concerts in Mexico in June. The tour's track list includes 20 tracks, including songs from the new album, as well as mixes of hits from past years.

2009 - present
After participating in Les Enfoirés font leur cinéma in January 2009, Alizée disappeared from view. But according to the singer’s Twitter, she is actively working in the studio on her new album. In general, 2009 passes very quietly, only sometimes the Internet press explodes about the new album and rumors about Alize’s personal life.

The first single of the new album, “Les Collines (Never Leave You),” was released on February 17, 2010. The presentation of the album, whose title is “Une enfant du siècle” (“Child of the Century”), took place on March 29, 2010 at 18:00 Paris time. The new album includes 10 songs.

Personal life

While Alize, after the release of her first album in her creative image, appeared to the public as a Lolita with a sexy appearance and provocative clothes, in reality Alize was “a modest, quiet person and an ordinary city teenager”

Timid and shy Alize loved to be the center of attention of her fans. Gradually, growing up, and also with the release of her second album, Alize changed her “Lolita image” to “the image of a matured girl,” and the meaning of the songs became more “adult.”

Alize continues to dance, in particular she has excellent skills in classical dancing, jazz dancing, ballet and flamenco. She is fond of football and even supports the AC Ajaccio football club. Alize also practices Thai boxing, but not to gain boxing experience, but to maintain her physical fitness. Alize is also involved in charity work, being part of a group of celebrities called “Les Enfoirés” (“Stupid”). This group gives charity concerts every year, and the proceeds from the concerts go to “Les Restaurants du Coeur” (“Restaurants of the Heart”) - a fund to help the poor (the money goes to feed low-income people). Alize participated in these concerts in 2001 and 2002.

Alizée is married to Jérémy Châtelain, whom she met at the Eurobest awards in 2003. Jeremy Chatelain is a graduate of the popular French TV show “Star Academy”. Their wedding took place in Las Vegas (Nevada, USA) on November 6, 2003.

Currently, the family has bought a private house (practically a castle) on the outskirts of Paris.

Biography

Alizée is a French singer. At the moment, six studio albums and one concert have been officially released. Alizee’s first single for the song “Moi... Lolita” (“I... Lolita”) was released on May 19, 2000 and immediately firmly established itself in the top ten hits on the best hits. parades and did not leave them for six months, and copies of the single sold more than 1.5 million copies.

Alize had a happy childhood. She has been dancing since she was four years old and still enjoys dancing most of all. In general, Alize connected her future career with dancing, although she was always a versatile child. In 1995, at the age of 11, Alize won a drawing competition by coloring an airplane on an order form. In addition to a wonderful trip to the Maldives (which I am still very proud of). Her drawing was reproduced in life-size on the cockpit of the plane, which was named “Alizee”!

The calculation turned out to be accurate, but even its organizers could not imagine such a success. The single remained in the top ten sales for almost six months; as a result, the single sold more than 1.5 million copies - a result that even the most popular artists do not reach. What is most important is that Alize did not isolate herself within France, her single quickly gained popularity at the box office of radio stations in various countries - Japan, Canada, Germany, Russia... On November 17, 2000, Alize received her first professional music award - an award in the Discovery of the Year category for prizes French TV channel M6. And according to the results of 2000 - January 20, 2001, she was awarded the popular music award of the French radio station NRJ in the same category Discovery of the Year. Alize became famous overnight.

At the same time, on November 28, 2000, a second single, Passat (L'Alize), was released to support the album. It undoubtedly fell into the shadow of the album, and therefore its sales were not so successful, but the video of the same name (directed by Pierre Steen), released on television on December 6, 2000, significantly contributed to the promotion of the album. The clip itself is quite simple; it shows Alize laughing surrounded by soap bubbles.

Of much greater interest is the single Speak More Quietly (Parler tout bas), released on April 24, 2001. The point is not only that a single was released for the first time for a slow lyrical song, but also a wonderful video (released on TV a day later), again directed by Laurent Boutonnat. A very controversial story about a child growing up and parting with childhood illusions...

March 6, 2002 Alize receives his next award. She won the World Music Award, held in Monte Carlo, for the best French female artist with the highest record sales in 2001 in France and abroad.

The return of Alizee or the album “Mes courants electriques”

After a long break, one of the sexiest singers in world pop music returns to us not only with her new single, but also with a fresh album.

The producers of the second album were Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, who helped Alizee during the recording of the first album. The first single from the record was the French song “I’ve had enough” (J’en ai marre!), and its English version “I’m fed up!”

The single “J’en ai marre” was first heard on radio stations on January 7, 2003. At the same time, Alize appeared on television again. In just one month, more than 10 magazines were released with information about the return of “little Milen” and all sorts of similar interviews.

Before the release of the new single, Alize shoots a video, which was first shown on February 19, 2003, on the M6 and MCM channels. The video for the song “J’en ai marre” was filmed over 2 days in a Paris studio in two versions: in French and English. The English version of the video has a slightly different edit. The video takes place in an aquarium slightly filled with water. Alizee plays the role of the goldfish. Following the clip, there is a large interview “The History of Alizee’s Return” (Histoires d’un retour attendu Alizee) with many video inserts from her performances, etc.

Meanwhile, work on the release of the second album, “My Electric Discharges” (Mes courants electriques), is being completed in the studio. The new album “Mes Courants Electriques” was released in two versions: French and international. The release in France took place on March 18 and immediately took second place in the national chart, and the international release took place on April 15 via Universal Music. The French-language version of the album “Mes courants electriques” includes 11 tracks. For abroad there will be a slightly different version with 4 English songs. The cover of the disc is quite interestingly designed: here you will see a classic disco pop music, practically untouched by time and progress since the late 70s. The album also includes new instruments: electric guitar, etc. In general, the album turned out to be in the standard style of Mylene Farmer, but at the same time it is not at all similar to Alize’s first album. The girl grew up, and her songs became more adult.

At the end of March 2003, Alize participates in the Eurobest 2003 ceremony, where the winners of Star Factories from 9 European countries, including Russia, gather. At this ceremony, Alize, together with Pasha Artemyev (lead singer of the group “Korni”), performs his most famous song “I... Lolita”. The audience applauds...

Without hesitation, on May 21, 2003, in support of the upcoming concert tour in Europe, another video “I'm not 20 years old” (J'ai Pas Vingt Ans) was released, followed by a new single on the store shelves on June 3, 2003. composition.

Much more interesting than the previous one (in terms of plot) is Alize’s next video for the song “A contre-courant”, which was released on October 1, 2003. The video was filmed over 2 days in Belgium. The video takes place in a long-abandoned coal processing plant (currently used by firefighters for training). The man shown in the video is a real circus acrobat. Literally a week after the video was shown, on October 7, 2003, the next, already third single, “Counter Currents” (A contre-courant), was released. The release of this single is very important for Alize. For the first time, cd maxi and vinyl will not be released along with the single; their release is scheduled for November 12, 2003.

In February 2004, Voici magazine published information that Alize and her friend Jeremy Chatelain, a native of the same French Star Academy, secretly got engaged during their trip to Las Vegas in November 2003. This news shocked the public and even more so the fans, who took this news sharply negatively.

After a long wait, on October 4, 2004, the double album “Gourmandises/Mes Courants Electriques” was released, and on October 18, 2004, the “live” DVD and CD “En concert” was released, which presented Alize’s full “live” video concert, collected from her autumn tour 2003. The presentation is scheduled at the Virgin hypermarket, but Alize does not show up there, thereby disappointing the fans who came.

2004

On January 17, 2004, Alize gave her final concert at the Le Zenith concert hall in Paris, giving the public a colorful show and performing her seventeen songs from two albums.

After the final concert, starting in February 2004, Alize took a creative break for an indefinite period.

2005-2008

Since Alize suspended her musical activities due to pregnancy in February. Its official website has not been operational since the summer of 2005. During this time, there was a lot of news regarding Alize's return and career continuation, most of which eventually turned out to be false.

Hi all!

Just wanted to let you know that I'm currently in the studio...
The new songs are wonderful!!
Kisses to everyone and hope to see you soon!
I promise.

2009 - present

After participating in Les Enfoirés font leur cinéma in January 2009, Alizée disappeared from view. But according to the singer’s Twitter, she is actively working in the studio on her new album. In general, 2009 passes very quietly, only sometimes the Internet press explodes about the new album and rumors about Alize’s personal life.

Personal life

Currently, the family has bought a private house (practically a castle) on the outskirts of Paris.

a wonderful trip to the Maldives (of which she is still very proud), her drawing was reproduced life-size on the cockpit of the aircraft, which was named "Alizee"!

In December 1999, Alize appeared in the TV show Graines de Star, promoting young talents, with an English song, but did not make it through the qualifying round. A month later, Alize came again, this time with a song by the famous French singer Axelle Red called “My Prayer” (Ma priere), and this time the competition took place. Moreover, it was this song that allowed Alize to win the nomination “Emerging Singer” (Graine de chanteuse) at the final broadcast!

Thanks to this performance, Alize was noticed by Mylene Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat. It was they who took up the promotion of Alize’s career. Several tests in the studio, and she was chosen. Already on May 19, 2000, her first single “I... Lolita” (Moi... Lolita) was released. And in the summer - July 26, 2000 - the first and one of the best video "Moi... Lolita" was released, telling about the dreams of a village girl to end up in a big city. Filming the video took 2 days. Scenes involving hundreds of dancers were filmed in the famous Parisian discotheque "Les Bains Douches". In turn, the barley fields and Lolita's modest house were filmed near the town of Senlis.

The calculation turned out to be accurate, but even its organizers could not imagine such a success. The single remained in the top ten sales for almost six months; as a result, more than 1.5 million copies of the single were sold - even the most popular performers do not reach this result. What is most important is that Alize did not isolate herself within France, her single quickly gained popularity at the box office of radio stations in various countries - Japan, Canada, Germany, Russia... On November 17, 2000, Alize received her first professional music award - an award in the "Discovery" category of the Year" for the prizes of the French TV channel M6. And according to the results of 2000 - on January 20, 2001, she was awarded the popular music award of the French radio station NRJ in the same category "Discovery of the Year". Alize became famous overnight.

Meanwhile, active work in the studio ended with the release of the debut album “Gourmandises”, which was released on November 28, 2000. The album, entirely written by the same Farmer-Boutonnat duo, turned out to be very solid and complete, with wonderful vocals from Alize and very entertaining texts - essentially sketches from the life of a young girl and descriptions of her dreams. A very light youth musical style and the presence of undoubted dance hits (such as "Moi... Lolita", "Veni Vedi Vici" and "Gourmandises") guaranteed the album popularity not only in France. Only for 3

month of sales, the album went platinum. It sold 300,000 copies and to date, sales total more than 800,000 copies in France. And finally, the total number of discs with Alize's recordings sold in Europe has already reached almost 4 million!!! And this is only in Europe!

At the same time, on November 28, 2000, the second single “Passat” (L"Alize) was released to support the album. It undoubtedly fell into the shadow of the album, and therefore its sales were not so successful, but the video of the same name (directed by - Pierre Steen), released on television on December 6, 2000, contributed greatly to the promotion of the album. The video itself is quite simple, showing Alize laughing surrounded by soap bubbles.

Of much greater interest is the single “Speak More Quietly” (Parler tout bas), released on April 24, 2001. The point is not only that a single was released for the first time for a slow lyrical song, but also a wonderful video (released on TV a day later) , again directed by Laurent Boutonnat. A very controversial story about a child growing up and parting with childhood illusions...

Meanwhile, Alize's foreign popularity began to translate into real action. In May 2001, regional branches of "Universal Music" in Japan, Israel, and Holland released localized versions of the album "Gourmandises"; The first publications about Alize began to appear in Russia. On April 17, 2001, a telephone interview with Alize took place on Radio Europe Plus, and on June 1-2, 2001, Alize visited Russia for the first time! She arrived in Moscow on June 1, 2001, and on June 2, 2001, she performed at the “Stopudovy Hit” awards ceremony from Hit-FM radio and at a press conference dedicated to this event, and also gave an interview on MTV-Russia broadcast 3 June 2001

The fourth video, "Gourmandises", was filmed on July 25, 2001. It continues the line of light game clips to support audio productions. The plot is quite simple - Alize and his friends go out into the countryside for a picnic, where they eat, drink and have fun. The video was filmed (directed by Nicholas Hidiroglu) over one day in the outskirts of Paris; the boys and girls playing in the video were specially selected from modeling agencies. Later on August 14, 2001, the fourth single "Gourmandises" was released from the album of the same name. March 6, 2002 Alize receives his next award. She won the World Music Award, held in Monte Carlo, for the best French female artist with the highest record sales in 2001 in France and abroad.

Judging by the interview, Alize is an ordinary teenager. She doesn’t think much about her future career yet. Alize herself dreams of starring in a musical comedy. The girl has a wonderful voice and excellent plasticity. Naturally, everyone is interested in the personal life of the pretty “Lolita,” but here she is laconic. Yes, there is a boyfriend, but Alize keeps everything that concerns him secret, and doesn’t even tell meticulous journalists his name. And what he values most in young people is loyalty.

In general, it is not yet clear what will grow out of the new “starlet” - the second Mylene Farmer, Vanessa Paradise or the French Britney Spears. One thing is clear - until Mylene Farmer leaves her, there is a chance that Alize’s music will progress.

Alize's new single was first heard on radio stations on January 7, 2003. At the same time, Alize appeared on television again (for a whole year nothing was heard about her at all), in just one month more than 10 magazines were released with information about the return of “little Milen” and all sorts of similar interviews.

Before the release of the new single, Alize shoots a video, which was first shown on February 19, 2003, on the M6 and MCM channels. The clip turns out to be quite controversial, and to be honest, at first glance, not very successful. The video for the song “I've had enough” (J"en ai marre) was filmed over 2 days in a studio in Paris. The design of the video is quite simple: a huge glass box 3 by 3 meters, which acts as an aquarium. The video was filmed in two versions: in French and English. The English version of the clip has a slightly different edit. The action of the clip takes place in an aquarium, a little filled with water. Of course, Alizee plays the role of the goldfish! Following the clip, there is a large interview with “The Return of Alize” (Histoires d'un retour attendu). Alizee) with many video inserts from her performances, etc.

And finally, on February 25, 2003, the long-awaited single appeared on the shelves of French stores. The single immediately hits second place in the charts, but, alas, does not stay there for long; after a week it begins to fall and no longer occupies high positions in the charts. Sales of the single are currently quite meager - only a few hundred thousand copies in France. More and more often, Alize “appears on TV” in various programs and gives interviews.

Meanwhile, the studio is completing work on the release of the second album, “My Electric Discharges” (Mes courants electriques), which was released on March 19, 2003. The cover of the disc is quite interestingly designed: here you will see a classic disco pop music, practically untouched by time and progress since the late 1970s. The French-language version of the album "Mes courants electriques" includes 11 tracks. But for abroad there is a slightly different version with 4 English songs. The album also includes new instruments: electric guitar, etc. In general, the album turned out to be in the standard style of Mylene Farmer, but at the same time it is not at all similar to Alize’s first album. The girl has grown up, and her songs have become more mature, but on the other hand, having listened to such songs as: “Toc de mac”, “Youpidou” and “J”en ai marre”, we can say that she is still a child, although she herself is and doesn't hide it.
