Alizée Jacotey; born 21 August 1984) is a French singer, known professionally by her given name AlizéeShe was discovered by Mylène Farmer, following her winning performance in the talent show, Graines de Star,[2] in 1999. While collaborating with Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, Alizée released two albums, both of which were hits inside and outside of France.

Alizée entered the music business in 2000. She has since released four studio albums, the first two of which were composed by Laurent Boutonnat and written by Mylène Farmer. Her first album was Gourmandises, which received Platinum certification within three months of release. After its international launch in 2001, Gourmandises was a success both in France and abroad, earning Alizée the distinction of being the highest selling female French singer in 2001.[3] The album featured her most successful single "Moi... Lolita" which reached number one in several countries in Europe and East Asia. Gourmandises was followed by a second studio album, Mes Courants Électriques, in 2003. Following its release, Alizée toured during the fall of 2003, performing in 43 concerts throughout France, Belgium and Switzerland.[4]

Alizée married fellow French singer Jérémy Chatelain in late 2003. Following her marriage, she took a hiatus from singing before returning with a new album, Psychédélices, on 3 December 2007.[5] Her fourth album titled Une Enfant Du Siècle was released on 29 March 2010.

In early 2011 she published her participation in a new album of Alain Chamfort and announced plans for a back to the roots studio album for spring 2012.

My Story:

ONLY ONCE I SAW HER, WHICH WAS THE CONCERT SHOW, JANUARY 17, 2004 At LE LENITH, IN PARIS. IT WAS A SOLD OUT SHOW. I HAD CRAPPY SEATS, SO WORMED MY WAY UP TO THE FRONT ROW, NEXT TO THE SPEAKER. PEOPLE THOUGHT I WAS SECURITY MAYBE AS IM OLDER!

THERE WERE A FEW AMERICANS THERE, ONE I KNEW FROM THE FORUM AND HE THREW THE AMERICAN FLAG UP ON STAGE..THE ONE YOU SEE IN THE VIDEO. I WAS ABOUT 15 FEET FROM HIM WHEN HE DID IT. ALIZEE WAS VERY CAREFUL NOT TO STEP ON IT. I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO SEE HER IN THE 1ST SHOW, ON AUGUST 31 AND SEPT 3, 2003 BUT HAD TO CANCEL IT ALL, AS I WAS CLOSING ON MY HOUSE. I LOST NOTHING! I SOLD MY SEATS IN LESS THAN ONE HOUR ON EBAY AND HAD FLIGHT INSURANCE SO I WENT TO GET A DOCTOR'S NOTE.. LOL!

THE GIRL THAT FINALLY CONVINCED ME INTO GOING WAS A GIRL NAMED CHRISTELLE, WHO WAS FRIENDS WITH JESSICA FROM STARS A DOMICLE. SHE SAW MY PROFILE ON AOL, BACK THEN EVERYONE USED TO INSTANT MAIL EACH OTHER ON AOL OR AIM AND IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. SHE WAS WONDERING WHY AND HOW AN AMERICAN WOULD EVEN KNOW ABOUT ALIZEE. I JUST TOLD HER I WAS ON ONE OF THE DOWNLOAD SERVERS.. KAZAAR? AND FOUND HER LIVE IN A SHOW. I LOVED HER IMMEDIATELY AND POSTED WHATEVER I COULD ON MY AOL PROFILE. SHE AND I BECAME GOOD FRIENDS. EVENTULLY, SHE AND I SPOKE ON THE PHONE, AS I HAS A WORLDWIDE CALLING PLAN. SHE TALKED ME INTO GOING TO THE SHOW, BUT I HAD TO HAVE TICKETS SHIPPED TO HER HOUSE IN LILLE FRANCE, AS THERE WAS NO TIME TO SHIP THEM HERE IN THE USA AND ASSURE I WOULD GET THEM IN TIME. SO I HAD TO HAVE TOTAL TRUST IN CHRISTELLE.
I LEFT FOR PARIS FRANCE ON JANUARY 13 SO HAD A FEW DAYS TO RELAX AND TELEPHONE HER IN LILLE FROM PARIS IN MY HOTEL ROOM. I TOOK AN AT&T PHONE PLAN OUT JUST TO HAVE INTERNATIONAL CALLING, AS NO CARRIERS HAD IT BACK THEN! SO THEN THE DAY OF, I CALLED HER CELL PHONE, SHE TOLD ME WHAT SHE WAS WEARING A RED JACKET AN BLOND HAIR AND WOULD MEET ME IN NEXT TO LAST LINE OUTSIDE AT 4 PM. WE HAD TO WAIT 4 HOURS TO SEE ALIZEE! SHE WAS VERY NICE AND WE MADE GOOD FRIENDS THE SHOW WAS SO GOOD IT MADE YOU WANT TO CRY SOME PEOPLE DID CRY. ONE GUY THAT GOT TOUCHED DURING contre courant DID CRY RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME ,SCREAMING "SHE TOUCHED ME, ALIZEE TOUCHED ME!!!!!' IT WAS NUTS. AT ONE TIME, SHE WAS SO CLOSE TO ME WHEN SHE RAN, I SMELLED HER PERFUME. WHEN THE DVD CAME OUT, CHRISTELLE IN LILLE, FRANCE, INSTANT MAILED ME SCREAMING, I'M IN THE MOVIE, I AM IN THE MOVIE!!!! MEANING SHE WAS IN ALIZEE EN CONCERT 2004, THE ONLY OFFICIAL DVD, AND IT WAS MOSTLY OF THE SAME EXACT SHOW I ATTENDED IN PARIS AT LE ZENITH. TO SEE THAT DVD COME IN THE MAIL , 9 MONTHS AFTER THE SHOW, KNOWING I WAS THERE THAT NIGHT, WAS A EFFIN RUSH!!!!! IT WAS LIKE RELIVING THE SHOW ALL OVER AGAIN. WHO WOULD HAD DREAMED THAT THIS WAS HER LAST REALLY GOOD SHOW AND THAT PART OF HER CARREER WOULD END THAT NIGHT... NO ONE BELIEVED IT AND FANS WAITED AND WAITED AND WAITED FOR WEEKS, MONTHS, YEARS, ONLY TO BE SADDENED. FINALLY MOST OF FANS, PROBABLY 95 % OF EVEN THE HARD CORE FANS... GAVE UP ALL HOPE, AS HER WEBSITE WAS SHUT DOWN AND SHE GAVE LITTLE OR NO RESPONSE OF WHAT SHE WAS DOING. IF YOU READ SOME OF THE OLD FORUMS, YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE WRITING, AS SHE SEEMED TO ABANDON US.

THEN FINALLY IN 2007 SHE RETURNS WITH A NEW INDIE CD AND SUCCESSFUL TOUR IN MEXICO TO FOLLOW THE NEXT YEAR, WHERE THEY HAVE COME TO ADOPT HER.
