Senlis). Alize appears in the image of a seductive Lolita ( Lolita- the heroine of the novel of the same name by Vladimir Nabokov), a village girl who ends up in the big city. Alizee's single was later used in a promotional video for a British film "Good year", released in 2006. The video immediately brought fame to the singer, firmly entrenched in the top ten hits on the top charts and not leaving them for six months, and copies of the single were sold in over a million copies.

Discography

01. Gourmandises (2000) - first studio album
02. Mes Courants Électriques (2003) - second studio album
03. Alizée En Concert (2004) - live album

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 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 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 - both the first and one of best clip"Moi... Lolita", which tells the story of a village girl's dreams of ending up in the 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 artists. 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 various countries- Japan, Canada, Germany, Russia... November 17, 2000 Alize receives her first professional music award - an award in the "Discovery of the Year" category 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.

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, radio Europe Plus took place telephone interview with Alize, 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 performer with highest record sales in 2001 in France and abroad.

Judging by the interview, Alize is an ordinary teenager. About my future career She doesn't think much about it yet. Alize herself dreams of starring in a musical comedy. The girl has a wonderful voice and excellent plasticity. Naturally, everyone is interested personal life 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 appears on television again ( whole year nothing was heard about her at all), in just one month more than 10 magazines were published with information about the return of “little Milen” and all kinds of similar friends on a friend interview.

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. U English version The clip has a slightly different edit. The video takes place in an aquarium slightly filled with water. Alizee plays the role of the goldfish, of course! Following the clip comes great interview"Stories 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, gives an interview.

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.

French singer Alize Jacote was born on August 21, 1984 in Corsica in the city of Ajaccio. The singer's height is 161 cm, today she is married. Contrary to the incessantly circulating rumors, the date of Alizee’s death, thank God, has not yet arrived. Alizée Jacote, who climbed to the top of the world charts with the song Moi... Lolita, is persistently declared dead. What is this? An attempt to increase your popularity?

Childhood

If many years ago the girl’s parents had been told that there would be ugly speculation in the media about the date of Alizee’s death, her mother would probably have gone crazy. Announce dead person V in good health- this is not just a mistake, this is inhumane information chaos. It does not at all fit with the image of the beautiful Lolita that the singer embodied on stage - tender, romantic, insanely artistic.

Where does this gift come from? Let's turn to the pages of history. The future star grew up in a family far from the world of show business. Alize's mother was the owner small company, and my dad worked as a system administrator, so no one talked about art, especially from a professional point of view, in the Jacote family. But both father and mother were fond of windsurfing, like many other Corsicans. When my daughter was born, she was named after the famous wind - “passat”, which in French sounds like L’Alize. At the same time, the girl’s brother got the usual earthly name - Johann.

Dancing and drawing

Four-year-old Alize fell in love with dancing with all her heart; her parents, without resisting, sent the active girl to dance studio. At the same time, her talent was clearly outstanding; Alize quickly became the leader in the group and began to receive solo roles. Wherein young talent She also made progress in drawing.

At the age of 11, the girl created a logo for the airline, showing remarkable imagination, and her work won the competition. For this, she and her family were rewarded with a week-long tour to the Maldives, the drawing was transferred to an airliner and named after her.

And the Alizee star lit up

The date of death scares girls with enviable regularity. But maybe she just wants to be left alone, tired of constant attention, and just wants to be an ordinary person, go into the shadows, live peacefully in his family? Her singing career began at the age of 15 - at the "Aspiring Star" competition. Alize came as a dancer, and only vocalists were accepted for auditions. Having tried her luck and singing a song in English, Alize failed. But she is not one of those who withdraw into herself after failure. A month later, having rehearsed well, she returned to the casting with the song Ma Prière, won the competition and attracted the attention of Mylène Farmer herself, thanks to whom the new star.

Lolita and Mylene

The legend of French music invited Alize to become the “first violin” of the new music project. Her image was supposed to personify innocence in a defiant guise. It was quite difficult for a modest fifteen-year-old girl to get used to this role, since she had always been shy.

But otherwise Moi... Lolita would not have been born. The hit about Lolita became a revelation for the whole world. For six months the song was in the hottest rotation, and during the tour Alizee toured all over Europe with concerts, showing off a frankly scandalous dress from a world famous designer, which ended somewhere in the middle of the buttocks and was decorated with fur inserts.

This was followed by the debut album Gourmandises, which also thundered throughout the world and received platinum status in just three months. The song of the same name, as well as Parler tout bas and L’Alize, also entered the charts.

Further biography of Alize

The date of death of Lolita, as a stage image, can be called the day when the girl finally broke up with Mylene Farmer. As the years passed, the growing Alize gradually abandoned the image of a nymphet and eventually stopped exploiting this image. The final breakup with Farmer occurred in 2006. Her second disc, Mes Courants Electriques, was the final one, recorded in collaboration with Mylene. There was no second record resounding success, perhaps, with the exception of the songs A contre-courant, J"en ai marre!, as well as J"ai pas vingt ans. Alizee began wearing feminine dresses in soft, romantic shades.

Alize's musical experiments resulted in many compositions various styles: Madonna cover La isla bonita, Mademoiselle Juliette, Alcaline, Les Collines (Never Leave You), Fifty-Sixty. In 2007, Alizee recorded her third album, Psychédélices, but it only reached number 16 in the French charts.

Les Collines (Never Leave You) became main composition new experimental album Une Enfant Du Siecle ("Child of the Century"), which the singer dedicated to her own daughter. When creating it, she was inspired by the work of Andy Warhol. Accordingly, her image also underwent dramatic changes - on the cover of the album Alize appeared with short bangs - she was unrecognizable. The album almost failed in France, but America and Mexico received it more favorably.

In 2013, the singer released her fifth album with symbolic name"5". It was received with a bang, noting the presence classical music, which testified to the “growth” of the singer - from Lolita to a classical performer, critics noted this.

In 2014, the album Blonde with the compositions Tweet, Mon planeur, Bi became her final one. The disastrous tour really unsettled the girl, and she took sabbatical For undefined period. Low sales of the album caused "death". Alizee's photo, biography, release dates of the singer's albums and songs, her artistic impulses from this moment become unnoticeable and uninteresting to the public; today she is mainly occupied with her personal life. Perhaps she is simply accumulating strength, material and energy to create new masterpieces in the future.

Family, husbands, children

2003 was a very happy year for the singer on a personal level. The Euro Best music award gave Alize Jacote an acquaintance with musician and clothing designer Jeremy Chatelain. Something broke out between them whirlwind romance They say it was a very strong and passionate love. They got married in the fall and had their wedding in Las Vegas. The marriage produced a daughter, Annie-Lee, the family bought a house in Paris, and everyone seemed to be happy.

But nine years later the family broke up. The singer was very worried and admitted in some interviews that her pain was so great that the loss of Jeremy was, in a certain sense, the date of “death” for her. Alizee and Chatelaine broke up, their relationship died, unable to withstand the test of time, fame and inability to understand and listen to each other.

But later everything turned out well for Alize. A year later, the singer took part in the reality show “Dancing with the Stars.” There, performing with professional dancer Grégoire Lionnet, she acquired not only a partner, but also a life partner - the young people became close and never parted. On June 18, 2016, Alize and Gregoire got married.

Death of an idol

Information about the date of Alizee's death upsets and enrages her fans. If there is no news about a person, the press with all its might clings to various false rumors and spreads them at the speed of light. Alize did not die. Social networks with the singer’s official pages are regularly updated with information about the girl’s personal life and changes in it. The date of death and cause are not officially stated anywhere. Alizee, alive and well, performed her “Lolita” at one of the music shows France: fans of the singer posted a video.

Own style and image is 50% of the success of any artist. Alize thinks so, because, in her opinion, people look for themselves in performers. If an idol looks the way his fan wants to look, love and trust will only strengthen. Take a look at Alizee's recent photos. Thank God, it’s too early to talk about the date of the singer’s death - Alize is busy shopping in search of new outfits. She loves buying things for herself and admits that what she values most in clothing is comfort, not belonging to a fashion brand.
Today, the girl has about fourteen tattoos on her body, and she claims that this is not the limit. She loves to draw, maybe that's why she likes to decorate her body? Looking at this angel, you cannot say that the biography of Alizee, the cause and date of whose death no one has confirmed for sure, has a separate large section dedicated to tattoos. In an interview with journalists, the singer opens up that she became addicted to body art at the age of 16. With the permission of her parents, she made her first tattoo where it is difficult to see - on the lower back future star The fairy Tinkerbell, a character from the fairy tale about Peter Pan, settled down. When Alize got a manga tattoo on her right hand from shoulder to wrist, it was met with a lot of emotion from fans. Some considered this completely inappropriate, since the tattoo does not fit into the existing stereotypical image of a teenage girl. Others liked her choice. Meanwhile, the tattoo is dedicated to his daughter Alize.

Alize's French-language repertoire is diluted with one composition in English and one in Spanish.
On whose songs did the star grow up? She admits that she is inspired by the work of Madonna, the idol of the singer’s father. And while the press is gossiping about the date of Alizee’s death, new milestones appear in the girl’s biography. She performed a cover version of Madonna's song La Isla Bonita for a French channel. It was heard in Mexico, and for some reason it really sank into the souls of Mexicans when performed by Alize. This song was the first to be played on the radio in Mexico, and then other compositions by the talented singer gained incredible popularity in this country.
She also loves British rock - the classic Beatles and the endless desperate anguish of Amy Winehouse, who, unlike our heroine, has a clearly defined date of death and cause. Alizee appreciates unusual and strong voices, especially noting contemporary performers British Alex Hepburn.
And the Japanese liked her song J en ai marre the most. Alize really wanted to record an album in Japan, but it turned out to be very difficult to do. Alize starred in a commercial for Japanese cookies, which featured this composition, Country rising sun surrendered and was conquered.
To maintain excellent shape, Alize enjoys Thai boxing.
The girl is a fan of the football team of the same name in her hometown, Ajaccio.
Anyone is submissive to her dance styles- classical, jazz dance, ballet, flamenco.
In 2003, at the Eurobest ceremony, Alize performed her famous “Lolita” together with the lead singer of the group “Korni” Pavel Artemyev.
The singer loves to cook pasta with shrimp - this is her signature dish, so her friends say.
But daughter Alize doesn’t like the fact that her mother spends a lot of time in in social networks. The singer regularly posts her publications, videos and photos on the Internet, and the date of Alizee’s death and the reasons for this are just a myth.
Alize devotes a huge part of her life to charity. She is part of a group whose concert proceeds go to the poor.

Alize's film career

While someone is trying to guess the date of Alizee’s death and calling the cause anything, including a drug overdose, the girl takes part in various French talk shows. The singer's DVD collection, which includes concert songs from the 2003 tour, was the only film in which Alize participated, and it is simply called “Alize in Concert.” The singer demonstrates different costumes in dance performances.

As for Alize's music in films, her "Lolita" was used in the film " Good year"directed by Ridley Scott. Her songs did not take part in any other film projects, but on television they were provided greater success. Alize's compositions were accompanied by the talk show "Dancing Under the Stars".

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"!

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!

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.

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.
