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

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!").

On October 7, at the Virgin music hypermarket in the Louvre, at 12 midnight, a party was organized to preview the live DVD by Alize fans. But only about 50 fans came , 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!

In 1984, a wonderful singer named Alize was born. She became and was named after one of the winds, since 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 was very good from childhood. She grew up in a happy and friendly family. From an early age she studied dancing and fine arts, and then showed herself in a show of young talents. The date of the star’s death has not been published in any source, and all because it is false. Someone to such rumors. This is exactly what the singer’s fans think. Fortunately, Alize does not pay attention to this and works hard on her new project. It should be noted that the first single released by the girl was released in 2000. A month later, a wonderful video was already shot for it, and the composition became popular all over the world.
The singer Alize, whose photographs are now replete with magazines, was noticed thanks to the “Aspiring Star” project. It was during this time that she was offered cooperation by two famous producers. In France, fans are simply in the girls' songs. Her first album stayed in the top ten for about six months, and this is a good result. After this, 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” category.
Rumors about Alizee, whose death date was fictitious, spread throughout all the countries in which she was considered popular. At first all the fans were simply shocked. Some did not believe in this, 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, and has a child. Who came up with the idea to spread such information?
Throughout her career, Alize released albums, shot videos for her songs and simply 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 announced, and her sudden disappearance is perceived by some as an ordinary PR stunt.
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 and on television in a completely new image. Perhaps because of the vacation taken, the press was for a long time filled with articles with screaming headlines: “Alizee, date of death of the singer.” But this is all really fiction. Today the singer changed her image, grew her hair and got a piercing in her tongue. Fortunately, we can continue to enjoy her work.
French singer Alize, author of the hit “Moi... Lolita,” is quite active on social networks, constantly posting photos on her Instagram account. The singer, whose voice was known to everyone in Russia, now appears in a new image. Heavy makeup and tattoos bear little resemblance to a teenage girl, a star from the past.In the latest photo of Alize, which the French singer published on her Instagram, it is difficult to recognize the fragile girl, the star of yesteryear. The singer, whose hits such as “J"en Ai Marre”, “Moi... Lolita” or “La Isla Bonita” were broadcast on all radio stations, now looks more determined.
Bangs, heavy makeup and tattoos have little in common with the appearance of the Alize we remember.
She sang her hits in French and English. In 2003, her first hit “J"en Ai Marre” appeared. Then she was 19 years old. International fame quickly came to Alize, and her dance hits could be heard at various latitudes. On April 28, 2005, the singer gave birth to a daughter, Anni- Lee. Alize decided to devote herself to raising her child and disappeared from show business for several years. After a break, she returned to singing and recording albums, but she could not repeat the great success that she had at the beginning. In 2013, Alize took part in the French version "Dancing with the Stars". Today she still tours, is active on social networks, is a happy wife and mother. The singer, two years ago, married Grégoire Lionnet, whom she met on the mentioned dance show.
Alizée, 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.
Since she can remember, she has been dancing, somehow viscerally feeling every musical note. Her parents noticed the girl’s talent early on and at the age of 4 they sent her to a dance school, where Alize was predicted to have 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 a competition for one of the airlines, which invited children to color an airplane on a piece of paper. And for the superb job done, Alize received the main prize - a fantastic trip to the Maldives. But this was only her first serious award.
Music career
At the age of 15, Alize came to the new music youth competition “Aspiring Star”. She performed the song in English, but the strict jury did not like it. Alize was upset, but did not give up. Having devoted a whole month to daily preparation, Alize returned to the stage again and this time 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 image of Lolita. The girl’s charmingly youthful appearance, carefully selected scenes from village life, and a touching song about how one wants to escape from the village into the arms of the big city did their job.
Even the producers themselves could not count on such significant success. Alize literally woke up famous.
Starting next month, the song will begin rotating 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-length debut album, which was released at the end of 2000.
Alize celebrated the next year with the release of three videos, which immediately took the top steps of the music charts, and the receipt of several prestigious music awards. Since then, a new album has been released every year, each of which has become increasingly popular.
Sabbatical
For a long time, Alize had a warm relationship with her friend Jeremy. Since 2002, journalists regularly started rumors about the date of the next wedding, which again and again turned out to be incorrect, until they finally got married in 2003, solemnly celebrating the event in a fairly narrow circle.
And in 2004, after the final tour, Alize takes a sabbatical, from which he does not name a return date. In the spring of 2005, the singer became a happy mother and devoted 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 presented her new album. Alize has changed and grown, and her songs have changed - they have become deeper in content and more interesting in form. The only thing that hasn’t changed is her sincere and touching manner of performance, for which Alize’s many fans fell in love.
To date, she has released six full-length studio albums, which have sold with stunning success. During her work, her husband provided invaluable assistance. But, unfortunately, the previously happy marriage broke up.
With second husband Grégoire Lionnet
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 dissolved in 2010, and now Alize independently continues her successful creative career.
