Biography

Alizee Jacotey was born on August 21, 1984 in Ajaccio in the south of France, on the coast of Corsica. She is the first 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 had always been 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 a wonderful trip to the Maldives (which I am still very proud of). 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 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 there was a competition. Moreover, it was this song that allowed Alize to win the Emerging Singer (Graine de chanteuse) nomination at the final broadcast!

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 was released - I... Lolita (Moi... Lolita). And in the summer - July 26, 2000 - the first video Moi... Lolita was released, telling about the dreams of a village girl to be in big city. Filming the video took 2 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 - 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 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 category for prizes French TV channel M6. And according to the results of 2000 - 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 of Delicacies (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 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. In just 3 months 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.

At the same time, on November 28, 2000, a 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, significantly 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 More 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, 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 on June 3, 2001 G.

The fourth Gourmandises video 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.

The return of Alizee or the album “Mes courants electriques”

After a long break, one of the sexiest singers in world pop music returns to us not only with her new single, but also with a fresh album.

The producers of the second album were Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, who helped Alizee during the recording of the first album. The first single from the record was the French song “I’ve had enough” (J’en ai marre!), and its English version"I'm fed up!"

The single “J’en ai marre” was first heard on radio stations on January 7, 2003. At the same time, Alize appeared on television again. 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 video for the song “J’en ai marre” was filmed over 2 days in a studio in Paris in two versions: in French and English languages. The English version of the video has a slightly different editing. The video takes place in an aquarium slightly filled with water. Alizee plays the role of the goldfish. Following the video comes great interview“Stories of Alizee’s return” (Histoires d’un retour attendu Alizee) with many video inserts from her performances, etc.

Meanwhile, work on the release of the second album, “My Electric Discharges” (Mes courants electriques), is being completed in the studio. The new album “Mes Courants Electriques” was released in two versions: French and international. The release in France took place on March 18 and immediately took second place in the national chart, and the international release took place on April 15 via Universal Music. The French-language version of the album “Mes courants electriques” includes 11 tracks. For abroad there will be a slightly different version with 4 English songs. 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 70s. 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 grew up, and her songs became more adult.

At the end of March 2003, Alize participates in the Eurobest 2003 ceremony, where the winners of Star Factories from 9 European countries, including Russia, gather. At this ceremony, Alize, together with Pasha Artemyev (lead singer of the group “Korni”), performs his most famous song"I... Lolita." The audience applauds...

Without hesitation, on May 21, 2003, in support of the upcoming concert tour in Europe, another video “I'm not 20 years old” (J'ai Pas Vingt Ans) was released, followed by a new single on the store shelves on June 3, 2003. composition.

Next, Alize is intensively preparing for her first concert tour. The tour begins on August 26, 2003 in Paris, where Alize gives seven concerts in a row at the Olympia Hall. After wonderful shows at Olympia, Alize goes on a three-month tour with concerts not only throughout France, but also Belgium and Switzerland. The climax of the tour was the concert at Le Zenith (Paris) on January 17, 2004... Present colorful show, as Alize herself says. Against the backdrop of an unusual decoration in the form of a pink shoe, Alize presents the audience with her 17 songs from two albums every evening.

Much more interesting than the previous one (in terms of plot) is Alize’s next video for the song “A contre-courant”, which was released on October 1, 2003. The video was filmed over 2 days in Belgium. The video takes place in a long-abandoned coal processing plant (currently used for fire training). The man shown in the video is a real circus acrobat. Literally a week after the video was shown, on October 7, 2003, the next, already third single, “Counter Currents” (A contre-courant), was released. The release of this single is very important for Alize. For the first time, cd maxi and vinyl will not be released along with the single; their release is scheduled for November 12, 2003.

In February 2004, Voici magazine published information that Alize and her friend Jeremy Chatelain, a native of the same French Star Academy, secretly got engaged during their trip to Las Vegas in November 2003. This news shocked the public and even more so the fans, who took this news sharply negatively.

After a long wait, on October 4, 2004, the double album “Gourmandises/Mes Courants Electriques” was released, and on October 18, 2004, the “live” DVD and CD “En concert” was released, which presented Alize’s full “live” video concert, collected from her autumn tour 2003. The presentation is scheduled at the Virgin hypermarket, but Alize does not show up there, thereby disappointing the fans who came. At the same time, the single “Amelie m’a dit” and a video for this song were released, which was often played on radio and television, but soon disappeared from the charts.
2004

On January 17, 2004, Alize gave her final concert at the Le Zenith concert hall in Paris, giving the public a colorful show and performing her seventeen songs from two albums.

After the final concert, starting in February 2004, Alize took a creative break for an indefinite period.

2005-2008

Since Alize suspended her musical activities due to pregnancy in February. Its official website has not been operational since the summer of 2005. During this time, there was a lot of news regarding Alize's return and career continuation, most of which eventually turned out to be false.

However, on April 3, 2006, the webmaster of one of the singer’s fan sites received a message, handwritten and signed by Alize, stating that the singer was working on her third album. Here is the Russian translated version of the message:

Hi all!

Just wanted to let you know that I'm currently in the studio...
The new songs are wonderful!!
Kisses to everyone and hope to see you soon!
I promise.

On July 7, 2006, a show called “Le JT de la musique” on the French TV channel “Europe 2” announced that Alizée “is no longer collaborating with her former producer and the author of the words of her songs Mylene Farmer” and is currently working on creating a third album. It was also announced that the lyrics for the new songs were being written by Jean Faulques. Jeremy Chatelain is also involved with the new album, which he confirmed in his interview.

In September 2007, Alize signed a contract with the RCA Records/Sony BMG record label, and on September 30, her new single “Mademoiselle Juliette” was released. A video for this single will be released on November 19.

The third one was released on December 3, 2007. studio album Alizée Psychedélices. It went gold within 4 days, achieving sales of 80,000 copies. Meanwhile, the sales results are more than unsatisfactory: the album only reaches 16th position in the French charts (approximately 11,000 copies were sold in the first week), today 33,000 copies have already been sold, this is much less than the RCA studio planned (100,000 copies). By the spring of 2008, about 500,000 copies of this album had been sold.

From January 23 to January 28, 2008, Alize took part in the charity concert “The Stupid” (French: Les Enfoirés) which was held in Strasbourg at the Zenith Hall. RCA also announces upcoming performances in Mexico and France throughout 2008.

In March, Alize visited Mexico for the first time. A book signing was scheduled for March 5, but was canceled due to security concerns. Alize spoke at an impromptu press conference to apologize to her fans. And she promised to correct this, if possible, during her next visit to Mexico, which will take place during a big tour.

Starting on May 18, 2008, Alize begins a large tour called the “Psychédélices Tour”. The first point of which is Moscow, followed by concerts in Mexico in June. The tour's track list includes 20 songs, including songs from the new album, as well as mixes of hits from past years.

2009 - present

After participating in Les Enfoirés font leur cinéma in January 2009, Alizée disappeared from view. But according to the singer’s Twitter, she is actively working in the studio on her new album. In general, 2009 passes very quietly, only sometimes the Internet press explodes about the new album and rumors about Alize’s personal life.

The first single of the new album, “Les Collines (Never Leave You),” was released on February 17, 2010. The presentation of the album, whose title is “Une enfant du siècle” (“Child of the Century”), took place on March 29, 2010 at 18:00 Paris time. IN new album included 10 songs.

Personal life

While Alize, after the release of her first album in her creative image appeared to the public as a Lolita with a sexy appearance and provocative clothes, in reality Alize was a “modest, quiet person and an ordinary city teenager”

Timid and shy Alize loved to be the center of attention of her fans. Gradually, growing up, and with the release of her second album, Alize changed her “Lolita image” to “the image of a matured girl,” and the meaning of the songs became more “adult.”

Alize continues to dance, in particular she has excellent skills in classical dancing, jazz dancing, ballet and flamenco. She is fond of football and even supports the AC Ajaccio football club. Alize also practices Thai boxing, but not to gain boxing experience, but to maintain her physical fitness. Alize is also involved in charity work, being part of a group of celebrities called “Les Enfoirés” (“Stupid”). This group gives charity concerts every year, and the income from the concerts goes to “Les Restaurants du Coeur” (“Restaurants of the Heart”) - a fund to help the poor (the money goes to feed low-income people). Alize participated in these concerts in 2001 and 2002.

Alizée is married to Jérémy Châtelain, whom she met at the Eurobest awards in 2003. Jeremy Chatelain is a graduate of the popular French TV show “Star Academy”. Their wedding took place in Las Vegas (Nevada, USA) on November 6, 2003.

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 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 shot by Laurent Boutonnat.

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 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.

New single Alize was first heard on radio stations on January 7, 2003. At the same time, Alize began to appear on television again ( 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: in French and English. The English version of the clip has a slightly different montage. The action of the clip takes place in an aquarium, a little filled with water. Alizee plays the role of the goldfish! Following the clip, there is a large interview with “Alizee’s Return Story” (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 TV in various programs, gave 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 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 have a nice rest. In October 2004, the artist presented a concert album consisting of recordings of her songs performed in live during the 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

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 in full 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 of a small company, and her father worked as a system administrator, so no one spoke 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. At the same time, the young talent 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 her 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 Mylene Farmer herself, thanks to whom a new star was lit.

Lolita and Mylene

Legend French music invited Alize to become the “first violin” of a new musical 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. The second record was not a resounding success, perhaps with the exception of the songs A contre-courant, J"en ai marre!, and also 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 own daughter. When creating it, she was inspired by the work of Andy Warhol. Accordingly, her image also underwent dramatic changes- Alize appeared on the album cover 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 of classical music, which testified to the singer’s “growth” - 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 a sabbatical for an indefinite 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.
