End thoughts: For a first album, not to bad. There are quite a few songs, that just absolutely do not work. Typically I jump around on this CD and cannot listen to it throughout. Starts of really good with 3 ace tracks but then falls of, recoups some points towards the end luckly otherwise this would be a B effort. November 28, 2008

Incredible Artist

I found Alizee by chance on the Internet one day and was astonished by the quality of her voice. Of course I had to hear more so I bought an album. Well... that caused me to buy all of her albums including a DVD of her in concert. Alizee En Concert, which I must say is my all time favorite. I don't speak a word of French but her voice and vocal range is absolutely incredible! Language wasn't an issue. Don't merely take my word for it, there are plenty of sites online where you can listen to samples of her music. Even her own official site. You might want to remember that listening on your stereo will be even better. In any case once you hear her, you will be hooked too and end up buying every album. November 22, 2008

Can't beat this...I mean sine qua none

As an American, I started liking French (people/music) because of this recording. The intonation...my frineds...the intonation are so perfect, that you could actually learn French by listening to this CD. And that is the greatest virtue that any artist can have...is to have the audience actually sing in French...

This potpourri of songs don't mean a thing in English, but they are catchy tunes, sexy, sultry voice is just amazing. Now the voice from a teenager is even more mesmerizing than one can think, of course unless highly digitally modified...but no it is true sound.

I like all, with first preference to Lo..li..ta.., Lui ou toi, and title song Gourmandises. (try this link [tuxicodine dot net /archives/130]) December 2, 2007
