The popular singer and dancer from France with a very unusual name and beautiful voice, Alizée Jacotey, needs no introduction. Her songs, combining beautiful melodies and highly professional vocals, allowed her to win her own audience and loyal fans.
Brief biography of Alize Jacotet
The 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 passionate about windsurfing, named theirs after the sea wind – L’Alize. Currently, Alizée Jacoté and his family live on the Champs-Elysees.
From early childhood, Alizée demonstrated musical abilities and an insatiable desire to dance. Already at the age of four she knew how to move perfectly to 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. Alizée Jacotet's biography contains 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 aviation company Air Outre Mer. Her drawing, made on the body of an airplane, 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 this!

Frail Alize practices Thai boxing to maintain her physical fitness. She is also a passionate football fan. But still, music and dancing remain the main loves of young Alize. She has excellent skills in various dance genres - classical, jazz and flamenco. She also has ballet experience.
It was thanks to her passion for dancing that four years after winning a drawing competition, Alize decided to take part in a television music show on the Métropole 6 channel – Graines de Star (Young Stars). She was unable to perform a dance number, since only groups participated in this category, so Alize decided not to refuse to participate in the competition and prepared a vocal number in English. Unfortunately, she did not advance 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, My Prayer (Ma Prière), performed by young Alizée Jacoté, charmed the jury, who awarded her the “Meilleure Graine” music award as the most promising young talent.
How my career began
This victory became the starting point in the career of the young singer. She was noticed by the masters of the French musical Olympus - singer Mylène Farmer (Mylene Farmer) and composer Laurent Boutonnat (Laurent Boutonnat) and offered cooperation to continue her vocal career.
Her stage image became Lolita - a young beauty with a sexy appearance in revealing clothes. In life, Alize was radically 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 the center of attention since childhood.
Already in May 2000, Alize released her first single, written by Mylène Farmer especially for the young talent - “Moi... Lolita” (“I... Lolita”). Just a couple of months later, Laurent Button shot the singer’s first video for this song, which took only two days to film.
In the story, Alize plays a village girl who dreams of living in a big city. Filming took place in a modest house and barley fields in the town of Senlis, as well as in the fashionable 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 six months it remained 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 newcomers, but even for popular stars. A few years later, Alize’s single was used to advertise the film “A Good Year” (UK), which was filmed in 2006.
A month later, she released her debut album, “Gourmandises,” which also included the single “I am Lolita.” Thanks to her first album, the French singer Alize Jacoté 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 became platinum. It sold over a million copies in France alone.
Light songs, coupled with Alize’s beautiful vocals, instantly fell in love with young audiences and critics. The result of her resounding success was the first professional music award, awarded to Alizée Jacote in November of the same year by M6 TV in the “Discovery of the Year” category.
The singer became recognizable and in demand. She gave interviews to many music television and radio channels, took part in photo shoots and charity events. For many years, along with other celebrities, Alize was part of the group “Les Enfoirés” (“The Stupid”), which gives 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 promoting the album.
So Alize ended the year 2000 on a positive note - 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 very quietly”) was released, for which a video clip under the same name was immediately shot. Wanting to show Alize’s farewell to her childhood, Laurent, who this time acted as the project manager, came up with a somewhat gloomy plot. Lyric poems were set to slow music. In the story, 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 for Alize Jacoté.
In the summer of the same year, Universal Music released Alize's first album in several countries in Europe and Asia. In total, more than 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 the Europe Plus radio station. And in the summer of the same year, Alize was invited to the ceremony of presenting the Russian music festival “Stopudovy Hit”, which was held by the radio “Hit FM”, where she performed her song. That same day she gave a press conference. The MTV Russia TV channel aired an interview with Alize.
Under the direction of Nicholas Hidiroglu, a video was shot for the song “Gourmandises” from the album of the same name in one of the outskirts of Paris, where Alize is relaxing with his friends, whose roles were chosen by young people from Parisian modeling agencies. This time it took only one day to shoot the video clip. The plot of the video, of course, is somewhat simple: young people are having 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 competition, which was held in Monte Carlo. This time she was awarded as the best performer who achieved record high sales for 2001 in France and abroad.
The next single, released by Alize, was heard on the radio in early January 2003. For almost a year nothing was heard about her, but after the release of her fourth single, people started talking about her again. Dozens of specialized magazines reported on the return of “little Mylene” 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 not only released 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 the young singer entitled “The Story of Alize’s Return.”
As soon as the single hit the store shelves, it immediately took second place on the charts. Unfortunately, the single failed to stay at the top of the charts for long. Its sales were far from being as massive as her first works - no more than several hundred thousand copies in France.
In March 2003, work was completed on Alizée Jacoté's third album, released under the title “Mes courants electriques” (“My electrical discharges”). The French version of the album includes eleven tracks. The foreign version included English versions of four songs by the singer. Although the album was designed in the style of Mylène Farmer, it was different 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 as if a child was singing them.
In the same month, she took part in the Eurobest 2003 ceremony, which brought together Star Factory laureates 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 Artemyev (group “Korni”) and received a standing ovation from the audience.
In preparation for a 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 by 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 Counter Current”, filmed by director Pierre Steen.
In 2004, Alize continues to actively participate in charity events and various television shows, where he performs in duets 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, she began to be noticed at the concerts of Jeremy, whom a French boulevard magazine had recently named Alize’s fiancé. The publication even reported 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, a refutation of the rumors appeared on the singer’s official website – moi-alizee.com.
In August 2004, French channels began showing her new video, Amelie m’a dit, which also included clips of her concert tour.
A party was scheduled for October 7, 2004 at the Louvre to preview the live DVD, which almost never took 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 some time the album was included in the chart and ranked 38th. But after just over a month, it falls off the chart, it is practically not shown on television and is played on the radio. Many publications cited the reason for this failure as the return of Mylene Farmer to the stage, who indeed soon released her own album.
Media about Alize Jacot. Rumors about the singer's death
For several months since the end of 2004, many French publications discussed the news of Alize’s pregnancy and even published photographs of her in an “interesting” position. For ardent fans of the French singer in the image of Lolita, this came as a real shock. A few months later, in April 2005, Alize and her lover Jeremy had a wonderful daughter, whom the happy parents named Annily.
After the birth of the child, Alize postponed the release of a new album for some time. She even temporarily closed her official website. There were rumors that the singer wanted to change her image and change producer. Counterfeits of supposedly new songs by Alizée Jacoté began to appear on the World Wide Web. For a long time there were even rumors about the death of the French singer. The unknown greatly tormented her fans, who were eager to find out the truth. We hasten to reassure everyone who loves the talented Jacote Alize: rumors about her death are greatly exaggerated. She is in excellent health, raising her daughter and successfully recording new albums.

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...
CONTINUED BELOW
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
Alize will turn 30 years old. She devoted almost 20 years of her life to the stage. Despite the fact that her last album was released in May of this year, rumors are circulating on the Internet and in the tabloid press that Alize is no more, that she quietly passed away. Many were horrified and despaired by her news, and, naturally, they are burning with impatience to find out how reliable this information is. So is Alize alive or not?
People who personally know and communicate with her are simply discouraged: where could such rumors come from? After all, she doesn’t even have serious health problems. I would like to reassure those who are concerned about this issue: singer Alize is alive and well, recording new CDs, and raising her daughter. However, the singer’s marriage is under threat, although there is no official information about this yet. Perhaps, due to the troubles in her personal life, ridiculous rumors began to circulate about her death, and many fans of the French singer’s talent began to worry about the question of whether Alize was alive or not. Will she continue to delight with her wonderful performances?
short biography
French singer Alizée Jacoté comes from the southern town of Ajaccio, which is located on the coast. Her parents named their daughter after one of the famous winds (in French, “passat” sounds like “alizé”). As a child, she was a very inquisitive and versatile child, she loved to read, play educational games, draw, but most of all she liked dancing. In 1995, at the age of 11, thanks to her drawing on a given topic, she won a prize - a trip to the Maldives. This was the first victory in her life. Soon a string of other creative successes followed her, but this time in a different art form - music. The beginning of the new century was especially successful for Alize. At the age of 16, she took part in the TV show “Aspiring Star” and won a nomination. Mylene Farmer really liked the young singer from Corsica, and she began producing her, and quite successfully. Already in May of the same year, Alize’s first single, “My Lolita,” was released, and then a video of the same name was released. Soon the singer became popular not only in France, but also abroad.
About four million of her discs were sold annually in Europe alone. Every year several of her singles were released, followed by video clips. They immediately won the sympathy of listeners and viewers: “Passat” (2000), Parler tout bas and Gourmandises (2001).
The year 2002 brought her a significant victory and world recognition at the World Music Award in Monte Carlo, and a year later she received an award from Eurobest, where she met her future husband Jeremy Chatelain. They soon got married in Las Vegas. In 2004, Alize gave her final concert and announced that she was going to leave the stage for an indefinite period.
Ridiculous rumors
What is the reason for the appearance of strange articles on the Internet and in the print press with the titles “Is Alize alive?” Surely this is a consequence of a lack of information, because after the final concert the singer devoted herself to her family: her daughter and husband. She began to lead a closed lifestyle and rarely appeared in public. This may be one of the reasons for the spread of rumors and strange questions about whether Alize is alive or not.
Another reason, apparently, is rumors that the singer has become addicted to drugs and is on the verge of suicide due to a break with Jeremy. People close to the star’s family claim that nothing like this is happening to her, that everything is fine with her health and in her relationship with her husband. In May 2013, in refutation of these ridiculous rumors and in response to the question tormenting fans of her talent about whether Alize is alive or not, the singer released a new album. So believe the popular rumor after this!
Alize Jacoté, better known to fans simply by the name Alize, is a French popular singer who soared to the top of the world charts with her first hit “Moi... Lolita”. Then she released a number of multi-genre studio albums, which invariably resonated with fans of her work.
Alize was born on the coast of Corsica, in the city of Ajaccio. Previously, no one in the family was interested in art enough to make a profession out of it. The girl's father worked as a system administrator, and her mother had her own small business. Jacote’s parents, like other Corsicans, were fond of windsurfing, so they decided to name their daughter the trade wind, which in French sounds like L’Alize, in honor of the famous wind. But the youngest son was given the more down-to-earth name Johann.
Alize already became addicted to dancing at the age of four, so it was decided to send the girl to a dance studio. She quickly became a leader on the floor among her peers and received solo roles in group productions. But Alize did not live solely by dancing. Jacote was an excellent drawer, which she demonstrated at a competition organized by a local airline.
The point of the task is to create a logo and depict this drawing on a paper airplane. The 11-year-old girl did so well that she became the winner of the competition. As a reward, the surprised child received a week-long tour to the Maldives for the whole family, and the girl’s drawing was transferred to a real airliner, which was also named after the winner, Alize.
At the age of 15, the girl went to the casting of the television competition “Aspiring Star”. Alize planned to show a dance number, but it turned out that only vocalists were auditioned. Alize was not at a loss, went on stage, sang the composition in English and failed. A month later, the girl returns to the casting with a well-rehearsed song “Ma Prière” and, firstly, goes through the tour, and secondly, eventually wins this competition, receiving the title of the most promising beginning singer.
Music
The success described above did not go unnoticed by the producers. Alize Jacote was noticed by the legend of French music (Mylène Farmer), who invited the girl to become the protagonist of a new musical project. The image of a young beauty was developed, which shocks the public with the contrast between the innocence of her age and her defiant appearance.
As Alize recalled, it was this factor that was the most difficult for her, since in life she was quiet, modest and shy. However, the very first hit “Moi... Lolita” conquered the whole world and did not leave the charts for six months. During the tour, the young singer traveled all over Europe, performing in concerts. The main element of the girl's scandalous image was a dress with fur inserts from Yohji Yamomoto. The famous costume had the silhouette of a child's dress, but the skirt of the singer's robe ended already in the middle of the buttocks.
The success of the single was repeated by the debut album “Gourmandises”, which became platinum in just three months. The song of the same name, as well as “Parler tout bas” and “L’Alize” also hit the charts.
But Alize grew up and by the second disc she cast aside the image of Nabokov’s Lolita. The album “Mes Courants Electriques” was the last in the union of the singer and Mylène Farmer. This was due to the fact that the album failed to achieve the same amazing sensation, although songs such as “J"en ai marre!”, “J"ai pas vingt ans” and “A contre-courant” are still considered successful .
In 2006, the singer stopped collaborating with Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat. Alize finally switched from childish and provocative images to feminine dresses and soft, romantic shades.
In her independent career, Alize was able to experiment with music styles, and each disc was different from the previous one. Among the many new compositions, the most striking were the songs “Mademoiselle Juliette”, “La isla bonita”, “Fifty-Sixty”, “Les Collines (Never Leave You)”, “Alcaline”, as well as a cover of the hit.
In 2007, the singer recorded her third studio album, “Psychédélices.” The album took 16th place on the French chart and 15th on the Mexican chart.
The composition “Les Collines (Never Leave You)” also became the lead single of the new album “Une Enfant Du Siecle” (“Child of the Century”). Alize dedicated her new album to her own daughter. This disc was recorded in a conceptual and even experimental manner. The singer drew inspiration for creating music from the work and image of his muse Edie Sedgwick.
This source of inspiration influenced both the music and the image of the singer. In the video and on the album cover, the girl appeared with short bangs, which is why fans did not even always recognize the performer.
The album showed low sales in France, but American and Mexican music fans received the record much warmer.
In 2013, the performer presented her fifth studio album, which received the symbolic name “5”. The title song of the album was the composition “À cause de l"automne.” The album also included the songs “Jeunefille”, “La guerre en dentelle”, “Si tu es un homme”, “Happy End”, “Dans mon sac” and others .
Music critics positively assessed the new disc and specifically noted the presence of classical music and an orchestra. According to critics, the fact that the singer, whose creative biography began with the image of “Lolita,” moved on to classical and serious music, shows the maturation and progress of the performer.
In 2014, the singer released the album “Blonde”. In addition to the lead track of the same name, the disc includes the song “Tweet”, the soothing composition “Mon planeur”, the controversial “Bi” and others.
Alize was also supposed to go on tour with new compositions, but the tour was canceled due to low sales.
Personal life
In 2003, at the Euro Best music award ceremony, Alizée Jacote met musician and clothing designer Jeremy Chatelain. In the fall of the same year, the young people got married and had a solemn wedding in the entertainment capital of Las Vegas. In this marriage, the singer had a daughter, Annie-Lee. The family lived in Paris in their own house, but after nine years of marriage, Alizée and Jeremy separated.
A year after the divorce, the singer became a participant in the next season of the popular reality show “Dancing with the Stars.” The singer performed with professional dancer Grégoire Lionnet, and a spark ran between them during rehearsals. After winning the project, the couple began dating.
It should be noted that the French singer never gave up dancing. She regularly attends master classes in such areas as flamenco, modern jazz and even classical ballet. In addition, Alize is fond of Thai boxing, thanks to which she keeps her figure in excellent shape. It’s also worth saying that Alize is an avid football fan and tries to attend home games of the Ajaccio club from the singer’s hometown as often as possible.
Alize now
On June 18, 2016, Alize married for the second time - to her partner in the show “Dancing with the Stars” Gregoire Lionnet.
Recently, rumors have been circulating on the Internet and in the yellow press that Alize died, and that is why there is no news about the singer’s life. These rumors upset and enrage the performer's fans. On the Russian-language Internet, fans of the French singer periodically post videos of Alize’s performances on French television. In 2017, a video appeared on the Internet where the singer, as a participant in a music show, performs her famous composition “Moi... Lolita.”
Alize got a tattoo that covers the performer’s right arm from shoulder to hand. The singer's fans had mixed reactions to this new decoration. Some admired the artist’s choice, others admitted that they liked Alize’s childish image from the first concerts and videos with this song more.

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.
