French singer with an unusual name - Alizée Jacotey (Alizée Jacotey). Alize: how does the singer live and what does she look like now? Alize and her husband

Alize, a charming French performer, whose popularity is growing literally every day, was born on August 21, 1984 in sunny Corsica.

Childhood

Alize has been talented and unusual since childhood. Born into a family of surfer parents madly in love with each other and named after a crazy wind, Alize herself was like the wind - fast and unpredictable.

For as long as she can remember, she has been dancing, somehow feeling every musical note in her gut. Parents noticed the girl's talent early and at the age of 4 they sent her to a dance school, where Alize was predicted a great future. A little later, she began to sing, and performing on stage was the greatest joy in the girl's life.

At the age of 11, she independently took part in the competition of one of the airlines, which invited children to color the plane on a paper form. And for the excellent work done, Alize got the main prize - a fantastic trip to the Maldives. But this was only her first serious award.

Musical career

At the age of 15, Alize came to the new music youth competition "Beginning Star". She performed the song in English, but the strict jury did not like it. Alize was upset, but did not give up. After devoting a whole month to daily preparation, Alize returned to the stage again and this time a triumph awaited her. The new song allowed her not only to pass the qualifying round, but also to win the competition.

The next year, she receives a contract with one of the production companies and starred in her first video in the form of Lolita. The charmingly young appearance of the girl, carefully selected scenes from village life, a touching song about how you want to escape from the village into the arms of a big city did their job.

Even the producers themselves could not count on such a significant success. Alize literally woke up famous.

Starting next month, the rotation of the song begins not only on all French channels, but also far beyond the borders of the country - the singer has become famous in Germany, England, and Japan. She begins to tour actively, while simultaneously working on recording a full-fledged debut album, which was released at the end of 2000.

Alize marked the next year with the release of three clips, which instantly took the top steps of the music charts, and received several prestigious music awards. Since then, a new album has been released every year, each of which is becoming increasingly popular.

sabbatical

For a long time, Alize had a warm relationship with her friend Jeremy. Beginning in 2002, journalists regularly launched rumors about the date of the next wedding, which turned out to be wrong again and again, until they finally got married in 2003, solemnly celebrating the event in a rather narrow circle.

And in 2004, after the final tour, Alize takes a sabbatical, from which she does not name a return date. In the spring of 2005, the singer becomes a happy mother and devotes all her time to her beloved husband and baby. But literally a year later, she puzzles her fans with a post on one of the social networks, in which she announces the start of work on a new album.

triumphant return

And in 2006, the singer finally officially presents her new album. Alize changed and grew, her songs also changed - they became deeper in content and more interesting in form. Only her sincere and touching manner of performance has not changed, for which numerous fans fell in love with Alize.

To date, she has released six full-length studio albums that have sold with resounding success. In the process of work, her husband provided invaluable assistance. But, unfortunately, the previously happy marriage still fell apart.

With second husband Grégoire Lyonnet

The reason for the divorce was not officially announced, but according to rumors, it was Alize's affair with a dancer and partner in the show "Dancing with the Stars", which the couple won.

The marriage was officially terminated in 2010, and now Alize continues her successful creative career on her own.

In 1984, a wonderful singer named Alize was born. She became a named after one of the winds, as the girl's parents loved windsurfing. For several years now, music lovers have been interested in the question of when Alizee died, the date of her death worries many. However, the question remains unanswered. After all, the girl is alive and well, in addition, a new album is expected to be released next year.

Alize from childhood was very She grew up in a happy and friendly family. From an early age she was engaged in dancing, fine arts, and after that she showed herself in a show of young talents. The date of death of the star is not published in any source, but all because it is false. Someone on such rumors. That's what fans of the singer think. Fortunately, Alize does not pay attention to this and is working hard on her new project. It should be noted that the first single released by the girl was born in 2000. A month later, a wonderful video was already filmed for it, and the composition became popular all over the world.

Singer Alize, whose photographs are now full of magazines, was noticed thanks to the Beginning Star project. It was during him that she was offered cooperation by two well-known producers. In France, the fans are just in the songs of the girl. Her first album stayed in the top ten for about six months, and this is a good result. After that, Alize's songs began to be listened to in countries such as Japan, Germany, Canada and others. After some time, the young performer received her first prize in the Discovery of the Year nomination.

Rumors about Alizee, whose date of death was fictitious, spread throughout all countries in which she was considered popular. At first, all the fans were just in shock. Some did not believe in it, others simply thought that the girl had left show business, others tried to find out the truth (after all, no one announced the cause of death). But, as it turned out, the singer feels great, got married, she has a child. Who came up with the idea of ​​spreading such information?

Throughout her career, Alize released albums, shot videos for her songs and just created. Most liked her music and art. Thanks to this, the producers sent the rising star on a world tour in 2003. It started in the city of Paris, then she gave concerts in Belgium, Switzerland, and some other countries. So who "buried" Alizee? The date of the girl's death was never named, and her sudden disappearance is perceived by some as a regular PR move.

In 2004, the singer decided to take a break from her career and leave the world of music for three years. But she did not disappear without a trace: she is seen at charity events, television in a completely new way. Perhaps because of the vacation taken, the press was for a long time filled with articles with screaming headlines: "Alizee, the date of the death of the singer." But this is all fiction. Today, the singer changed her image, grew her hair and got a piercing on her tongue. Fortunately, we can continue to enjoy her work.

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. Parents, big fans of windsurfing, named Alize after one of the winds.

Alize had a happy childhood. She has been dancing since the age of four and still loves dancing the most. In general, Alize connected her further career with dancing, although she was always a versatile child. In 1995, at the age of 11, Alize won a drawing competition by painting an airplane on an order form. In addition to the fact that the girl won

a magnificent trip to the Maldives (of which she is still very proud), her drawing was reproduced in full size on the cockpit of the aircraft, which received the name "Alizee"!

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

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 is selected. 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 clip "Moi ... Lolita" was released, which tells about the dreams of a village girl to be in a big city. The video shoot took 2 days. The scenes, involving hundreds of dancers, were filmed at the famous Parisian discotheque "Les Bains Douches". In turn, the barley fields and Lolita's modest home were filmed near Senlis.

The calculation turned out to be accurate, but even its organizers could not conceive of such a success. The single stayed in the top ten for almost half a year; as a result, more than 1.5 million copies of the single were sold - a result that even the most popular artists fall short of. Most importantly, Alize did not close within France, her single quickly gained popularity at the box office of radio stations in various countries - Japan, Canada, Germany, Russia ... November 17, 2000 Alize receives her first professional music award - an award in the "Opening 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 nomination "Discovery of the Year". Alize became famous overnight.

Meanwhile, active work in the studio ended with the release of the debut album "Goodies" (Gourmandises), which was released on November 28, 2000. The album, entirely written by the same Farmer-Butonna duet, turned out to be very solid and complete, with excellent vocals by Alize and very amusing texts - in essence, etudes-sketches from the life of a young girl and descriptions of her dreams. A very light youthful 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 has sold 300,000 copies and to date, it has sold over 800,000 copies in France. And finally, the total number of discs with Alize's recordings sold in Europe has 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 (director - Pierre Steen), released on television on December 6, 2000, greatly 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 Quieter" (Parler tout bas), released on April 24, 2001. The point is not only that a single for a slow lyrical song was released for the first time, but also in a wonderful video (released on TV a day later) , again shot by Laurent Boutonnat. A very controversial story about the growing up of a child and parting with childhood illusions...

Meanwhile, Alize's foreign popularity began to translate into real deeds. In May 2001, the regional offices of "Universal Music" in Japan, Israel, 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 "Stopudov Hit" awards ceremony from Hit-FM radio and at a press conference dedicated to this event, and also gave an interview on MTV-Russia air 3 June 2001

The fourth clip, "Gourmandises", was filmed on July 25, 2001. It continues a line of light game clips to support the audio production. The plot is quite simple - Alize and her friends go out into nature for a picnic, where they eat, drink and have fun. The clip was filmed (directed by Nicolas Hidiroglu) within one day in the suburbs 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 her next award. She won the "World Music Award" ceremony 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 does not think much about her future career yet. Alize herself dreams of starring in a musical comedy. The girl has a wonderful voice and great 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 a secret, she doesn’t even tell meticulous journalists the name. And in young people he appreciates devotion most of all.

In general, it is not yet clear what will grow out of the new "star" - 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 again appeared on television (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 kinds of similar interviews.

Before the release of the new single, Alize shoots a video, which is first shown on February 19, 2003, on M6 and MCM channels. The clip turns out to be quite controversial, and frankly, at first glance, not very successful. The video for the song "I've had enough" (J "en ai marre) was filmed for 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: on in French and English. The English version of the video has a slightly different installation. The action of the video takes place in an aquarium slightly filled with water. Alizee, of course, plays the role of a goldfish! Following the clip, there is a large interview with "Alize'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 appears on the shelves of French stores. The single immediately hits the second line of the charts, but, alas, it does not stay there for long, after a week it starts to fall and no longer occupies high lines in the charts. Sales of the single to date are quite meager, with only a few hundred thousand copies in France. More and more often, Alize "appears on TV" in various programs, gives interviews.

In the meantime, work on the release of the second album "My electric discharges" (Mes courants electriques), which was released on March 19, 2003, is being completed in the studio. The cover of the disc is quite interestingly designed: here you will see a classic disco stage, practically untouched by time and progress since the late 1970s. The French version of the album "Mes courants electriques" includes 11 tracks. But for abroad - a slightly different version with 4 English songs. The album also includes new instruments: electric guitar, etc. In general, the album turned out in the standard style of Mylene Farmer, but at the same time it is not at all like Alize's first album. The girl grew up, and her songs became more adult, but on the other hand, after listening to such songs as: "Toc de mac", "Youpidou" and "J" en ai marre ", one can say that she is still a child, although she herself and does not hide.

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

Short biography of Alize Jakote

A 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 keen on windsurfing, named theirs in honor of the sea wind - L'Alize. Currently, Alize Jacote lives with his family on the Champs Elysees.

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

Singing and dancing are not the only talents of this sweet girl from Corsica. In the biography of Alize Jakote there are 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 airline company Air Outre Mer. Her drawing, made on the body of the aircraft, 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 that!

Sorbonne University in Paris. Read the faculties of the university and everything you need to enter the university.

Fragile Alize is engaged in Thai boxing to keep fit. She is also an avid football fan. But still, music and dancing remain the main love of young Alize. She is fluent in the skills of various dance genres - these are classical, jazz dances and flamenco. She also has ballet experience.

It was thanks to her passion for dancing that four years after winning the drawing competition, Alize decided to take part in the television music show on the Métropole 6 channel - Graines de Star (Young Stars). She failed to perform with a dance number, since only groups participated in this nomination, so Alize decided not to refuse to participate in the competition and prepared a vocal number in English. Unfortunately, she didn't make it 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 (Axelle Red) My Prayer (Ma Prière) performed by the young Alize Jacoté charmed the jury, who awarded her the music award "Meilleure Graine" as the most promising young talent.

How did the career start

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

Her stage image was Lolita - a young beauty with a sexy appearance in revealing clothes. In life, Alize was fundamentally 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 in the spotlight from childhood.

Already in May 2000, Alize released her first single, written by Mylene Farmer especially for the young talent - "Moi ... Lolita" ("I ... Lolita"). In just a couple of months, Laurent Button shot the first video for the song for the singer, which took only two days to shoot.

According to the plot, Alize plays a village girl who dreams of living in a big city. Filming took place in a modest house and barley fields in Senlis, as well as in a trendy 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 half a year, he stayed 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 beginners, but even for popular stars. A few years later, Alize's single was used to advertise the film "Good Year" (UK), which was screened in 2006.

A month later, she released her debut album, Gourmandises (Treats), which also included the single I Am Lolita. Thanks to her first album, the French singer Alize Jakote 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 went platinum. Over a million copies have been sold in France alone.

Light songs, coupled with Alize's beautiful vocals, instantly fell in love with the youth audience and critics. The result of her resounding success was the first professional music award, awarded to Alize Jakota in November of the same year by the M6 ​​TV channel in the "Discovery of the Year" nomination.

The singer became recognizable and in demand. She gave interviews to many musical television and radio channels, took part in photo shoots and charity events. For many years, along with other celebrities, Alize was a member of the group "Les Enfoirés" ("Stupid"), giving 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 the promotion of the album.

So on a positive note, Alize ended 2000 - 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 Quietly") was released, for which a video clip of the same name was immediately shot. Wanting to show Alize's farewell to childhood, Laurent, who this time acted as the project manager, came up with a somewhat gloomy plot. Lyrical verses were set to slow music. According to the plot, 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 of Alize Jakote.

In the summer of the same year, Universal Music released Alize's first album in several countries in Europe and Asia at once. In total, over 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 Europa Plus radio station. And in the summer of the same year, Alize was invited to the ceremony of presenting the Russian music award "Stopudov Hit", which was held by Hit FM radio, where she performed her song. On the same day, she gave a press conference. An interview with Alize was shown on the MTV - Russia TV channel.

Under the direction of Nicolas Hidiroglu, a video was shot for the song "Gourmandises" from the album of the same name in one of the suburbs of Paris, where Alize is resting with her friends, who were chosen by young people from modeling agencies in Paris. This time it took only one day to shoot the video clip. The plot of the video, of course, is somewhat uncomplicated: young people have 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, which was held in Monte Carlo. This time she was recognized as the best female performer, reaching the highest sales record of 2001 in France and beyond.

The next single, released by Alize, was played on the radio in early January 2003. For almost a year, nothing was heard about her at all, but after the release of the fourth single in a row, they started talking about her again. Dozens of specialized magazines reported on the return of "little Milen" 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 released not only 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 a young singer entitled "The Story of the Return of Alize".

As soon as the single hit the stores, it immediately took the second line of the charts. Unfortunately, the single did not manage to stay on the top lines of the charts for a long time. Its sales were far from being as massive as her first works - no more than a few hundred thousand copies in France.

In March 2003, work was completed on the third album of Alize Jakote, released under the title "Mes courants electriques" ("My electric discharges"). The French version of the album contains eleven tracks. The foreign version included English versions of four of the singer's songs. Despite the fact that the album was designed in the style of Mylene Farmer, it differed 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 like a child sings them.

In the same month, she took part in the Eurobest - 2003 ceremony, which brought together the winners of the Star Factory 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 Artemiev (the Roots group) and received a standing ovation from the audience.

In preparation for the 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 of 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 Oncoming Current”, directed by Pierre Steen.

In 2004, Alize continues to actively participate in charity events and various television shows, where she performs in a duet 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, they began to notice her at the concerts of Jeremy, who shortly before that, the French Boulevard magazine called Alize's fiancé. The publication even reported on 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 on the official website of the singer - moi-alizee.com - a refutation of the rumors appeared.

In August 2004, French channels began to show her new video - Amelie m'a dit, which also included cuts from her concert tour.

A party was scheduled for October 7, 2004 at the Louvre, at which a live DVD preview was planned, which almost did not take 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 a while, the album was included in the chart and ranked 38th. But after a little over a month, he flies out of the chart, he is practically not shown on television and is played on the radio. The reason for this failure, many publications called the return of Mylene Farmer to the stage, which really soon released her own album.

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

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

After the birth of the child for some time, Alize postponed the release of a new album. She even temporarily closed her official website. There were rumors that the singer wants to change her image, change the producer. Fakes of supposedly new songs by Alize Jakote began to appear on the world wide web. For a long time, even rumors about the death of the French singer were exaggerated. The uncertainty greatly tormented her fans, who burned with impatience to find out the truth. We hasten to reassure everyone who loves the talented Jakota Alize: rumors of her death are greatly exaggerated. She is in excellent health, is raising her daughter and is successfully recording new albums.

Alizee Jacotey

Alize had a happy childhood. She has been dancing since the age of four and still loves dancing the most.

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 "Stopudov Hit" awards ceremony from Hit-FM radio and at a press conference dedicated to this event, and also gave an interview on MTV-Russia air 3 June 2001

The fourth clip, "Gourmandises", was filmed on July 25, 2001. It continues a line of light game clips to support the audio production. The plot is quite simple - Alize and her friends go out into nature for a picnic, where they eat, drink and have fun. The clip was filmed (directed by Nicolas Hidiroglu) within one day in the suburbs 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 her next award. She won the "World Music Award" ceremony 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 does not think much about her future career yet. Alize herself dreams of starring in a musical comedy. The girl has a wonderful voice and great 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 a secret, she doesn’t even tell meticulous journalists the name. And in young people he appreciates devotion most of all.

In general, it is not yet clear what will grow out of the new "star" - 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 again appeared on television (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 kinds of similar interviews.

Before the release of the new single, Alize shoots a video, which is first shown on February 19, 2003, on M6 and MCM channels. The clip turns out to be quite controversial, and frankly, at first glance, not very successful. The video for the song "I've had enough" (J "en ai marre) was filmed for 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: on in French and English. The English version of the video has a slightly different installation. The action of the video takes place in an aquarium slightly filled with water. Alizee, of course, plays the role of a goldfish! Following the clip, there is a large interview with "Alize'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 appears on the shelves of French stores. The single immediately hits the second line of the charts, but, alas, it does not stay there for long, after a week it starts to fall and no longer occupies high lines in the charts. Sales of the single to date are quite meager, with only a few hundred thousand copies in France. More and more often, Alize "appears on TV" in various programs, gives interviews.

In the meantime, work on the release of the second album "My electric discharges" (Mes courants electriques), which was released on March 19, 2003, is being completed in the studio. The cover of the disc is quite interestingly designed: here you will see a classic disco stage, practically untouched by time and progress since the late 1970s. The French version of the album "Mes courants electriques" includes 11 tracks. But for abroad - a slightly different version with 4 English songs. The album also includes new instruments: electric guitar, etc. In general, the album turned out in the standard style of Mylene Farmer, but at the same time it is not at all like Alize's first album. The girl grew up, and her songs became more adult, but on the other hand, after listening to such songs as: "Toc de mac", "Youpidou" and "J" en ai marre ", one can say that she is still a child, although she herself and does not hide.
