Singer alizee now. Alizee: biography, best songs, interesting facts

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. Besides the fact that the girl won

a magnificent trip to the Maldives (of which she is still very proud), 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 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 excellent vocals from Alize and very interesting lyrics - according to 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 total number Discs with Alize's recordings sold in Europe have already amounted to 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.

Best of the day

Of much greater interest is the single “Speak 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 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.

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: French and English languages. The English version of the video has a slightly different editing. The video takes place in an aquarium slightly filled with water. Alizee plays the role of the goldfish, of course! 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.

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.

In December 1999, Alizee appeared in the French program for young talents “Graines de Star” (“Aspiring Star”). But the aspiring star managed to get on it only after the second audition with a song by the French singer Axelle Red called “Ma priere” (“My prayer”).

March 6, 2002 Alizee receives the award for best French performer at the World Music Award ceremony in Monte Carlo.

Producers of the next album Alizee Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutona performed. The first single of the album “J"en ai marre!” (“I’ve had enough!”) was heard on radio stations on January 7, 2003. On February 19 of the same year, a video for this song was broadcast on television. The video was filmed over 2 days in a studio in Paris in two versions: in French and English ( "I"m fed up!"). The action of the video takes place in an aquarium, and Alizee performs in the birthplace of the goldfish!

On February 25, 2003, the single appeared on the shelves of French stores and immediately entered second place in the charts. However, he did not stay there for long; sales of the single did not meet the producers' expectations.

Alizee's new album Mes Courants Electriques (My Electrical Discharges) 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, international on April 15.

The French-language version of the album Mes courants electriques includes 11 tracks; international version, contains 4 English songs.

On May 21, 2003, in support of the upcoming concert tour in Europe, another video J"ai Pas Vingt Ans (I'm not 20 years old) was released; on June 3 of the same year, a single for the composition of the same name appeared on the shelves.

European tour Alizee begins in Paris on August 26, 2003. The singer gives seven concerts in a row at the Olympia Hall. Alize then goes on a three-month concert tour throughout France, then to Belgium and Switzerland. The tour ends on January 17, 2004 with a concert at Le Zenith (Paris).

On October 7, 2003, the third single “A contre-courant” (“Countercurrents”) was released. The release of this single is very important for Alizee. 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.

In June, the singer appears at the concerts of her lover Jeremy...

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 disc Alize fans. But only about 50 fans showed up, and about 20 CDs were purchased during the party. Alize herself was not noticed at the presentation.

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 often 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!

Alizee Jocotey was born on August 21, 1984 in Ajaccio in the south of France, on the coast of Corsica. She is the second 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. Besides the fact that the girl won

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 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 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.

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: French and English. The English version of the clip has a slightly different editing. The action of the clip takes place in an aquarium, slightly filled with water. The role of the goldfish is, of course, Alizee! Following the clip, there is a large interview, “Alizee's Return Stories" (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.

Within a few days it became a hit and made the aspiring artist a star. Since then, Alize’s musical career has developed very rapidly, and the performer has tirelessly delighted her fans with new compositions. But, like in the life of any person, she also had failures..

Difficulties on the path to fame

The life of Alizée Jacote began on August 21, 1984 in the large city of Ajaccio, which is located on the French island of Corsica. Her father worked in the field information technologies, and the mother owned small business. From the first years of her life, the girl showed her creative abilities. At the age of four she was already an excellent dancer, and then began attending a choreographic school.

At the end of the 90s, when future star was already 15 years old, she became a participant in a music television competition for aspiring artists. The first attempt was unsuccessful - the girl could not even qualify for the second stage of the competition. After several weeks of intense preparation, Alize decided to perform at the competition again. Having performed the composition “Ma Prière”, she made a huge impression on the jury of the competition and won the winning place.

Her performance was noticed by the popular French singer Mylène Farmer and composer Laurent Boutonne. They offered Alize cooperation, and soon the young artist presented her first song to the public...

The song “Moi... Lolita” is a real success of Alizee

The composition called “Moi... Lolita” appeared in 2000 and immediately hit the top of the charts. The success of the song was so resounding that Alize immediately went on tour. The scandalous image invented by the producers, which distinguished the young singer from other French performers, attracted the attention of the public to Alize and contributed to the growth of her popularity.

Just a few months later, the artist’s debut studio album appeared, which was called “Gourmandises”. The public greeted this collection with delight, and the singer secured her status as a real star. Compositions such as “L’Alize” and “Parler tout bas” won the special love of listeners and were played for a long time on all radio stations in France.

Work on the creation of the second official album lasted almost 3 years. The collection “Mes Courants Electriques” appeared on store shelves in 2003, but did not repeat the success of the debut record. Sales of the album were rather low, and only a few compositions gained great popularity. By the time this record appeared, the matured Alize decided to change her style to a more serious one. She stopped dressing provocatively, and the lyrics began to have more deep meaning.

The singer’s latest difficulties and enchanting return to the stage

In 2004, the popular singer announced that she wanted to suspend her creative activity and take a break from work. Alize stopped performing in front of listeners and recording new compositions. The silence lasted more than two years, but loyal fans still waited for the return of their idol.

Alize's third studio collection appeared at the end of 2007 under the title “Psychedelices”. By this time, the artist had broken off relations with her previous producers and decided to experiment with musical genres. In addition, Alize completely changed her clothing style and hairstyle. In France, the singer’s third album was not a great success, but the American and Mexican public were delighted with Alize’s new album.

After a creative break, the singer is working at a frantic pace. Since 2010, she has already presented 3 full-length studio albums and is now working on new compositions. Recently, Alize’s work has received more and more positive reviews from critics, because the artist does not stop experimenting and changing musical directions.

Alize's compositions are becoming more and more serious and often feature a classical orchestra. The artist, who began her career with a scandalous and provocative image, has definitely grown and continues to develop her musical abilities.

Biography, life story of Alizee

Alizee is a French singer.

Childhood

Alizee Jacotey was born on August 21, 1984 in Ajaccio in the south of France, on the coast of Corsica. She is the second 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. From the age of four she studied dancing and even many years later her favorite thing was to dance. 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 the fact that the girl won a magnificent trip to the Maldives (which she was very proud of for a long time), her drawing was reproduced in life-size on the cockpit of the plane, which was named Alizee!

Career

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.

Thanks to this performance, Alize was also noticed by 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 videos "Moi... Lolita" was released, telling about the dreams of a village girl to end up in a big city. Filming the video took two 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 performers did not reach. What is most important is that Alize did not isolate herself within France, her single quickly gained popularity on 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" nomination for the prizes of the French TV channel M6. And at the end of 2000, on January 20, 2001, she was awarded a popular music award by 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 duet - Butonna, turned out to be very solid and complete, with Alize’s wonderful vocals and very interesting lyrics - 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 three months of sales, the album went platinum. It sold 300,000 copies, and a little later sales amounted to more than 800,000 copies in France. And finally, the total number of discs with Alize's recordings sold in Europe was almost four million!!! And this is only in Europe!

At the same time, on November 28, 2000, to support the album, the second single “Passat” (L"Alize) was released. 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 significantly 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 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 shot 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 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 June 3, 2001).

The fourth Gourmandises video was filmed on July 25, 2001. It continues the line of lightweight 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 the course of 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.

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

Judging by the first interviews, Alize was an ordinary teenager. She didn’t think much about her future career then. Alize herself then dreamed of starring in a musical comedy. According to media reports, the girl even then had a wonderful voice and excellent plasticity.

In general, at that time it was not yet clear what would grow out of the new star – the second, Vanessa Paradise, or the French one.

Alize's new single was first heard on radio stations on January 7, 2003. At the same time, Alize began to appear 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 the “little one” 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, at first glance, not very successful. The video for the song “I've had enough” (J"en ai marre) was filmed over two days in a studio in Paris. The design of the video is quite simple: a huge glass box three by three meters, which acts as an aquarium. The video was filmed in two versions: French and English. The English version of the clip has a slightly different editing. The action of the clip takes place in an aquarium, slightly filled with water. The role of the goldfish is, of course, Alizee! Following the clip, there is a large interview, “Alizee's Return Stories" (Histoires d'un retour attendu Alizee) with many video inserts from her performances,

On February 25, 2003, the long-awaited single appeared on the shelves of French stores. The single immediately hits second place on the charts, but, alas, does not stay there for long. After a week, it starts to fall and no longer ranks high on the charts. Sales of the single were rather meager - only a few hundred thousand copies in France. More and more often, Alize appeared on television in various programs and gave 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 four English songs. The album also includes new instruments: electric guitar, etc. In general, the album turned out to be in a standard style, 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 mature, but on the other hand, after listening to songs such as Toc de mac, Youpidou and J"en ai marre, we can say that she was still a child, although she herself did not hide it.

At the beginning of 2004, Alize announced that she was temporarily stopping her musical activities. The singer's fans were terribly disappointed, but still wished their favorite a good holiday. In October 2004, the artist presented a concert album consisting of recordings of her songs performed live during her last performance.

In April 2006, information appeared on one of Alize’s fan sites that the singer was actively working on her new album. In July of the same year it became known that Alize had stopped collaborating with
