This schoolgirl in blue methylene stockings, no one can forget her. In July 2000, the world discovered singer Alizée, a young ingenue with a lascivious pop title, singing her iconic Me… Lolita with strength and panache. A few months earlier, the pretty Corsica had participated in the show star seeds, tele-hook presented by Laurent Boyer on M6, and had been spotted by Laurent Boutonnat and Mylène Farmer. If the latter has long remained her artistic godmother, Alizée decided, one day, to continue her career without this protection, which had nevertheless assured her of a very good start.
It may be a bit suffocating to be in the shadow of Mylène Farmer
Mylène Farmer took him under his wing, but Alizée gradually moved away from the artist. Despite the enormous success met thanks to her with the albums Delicacies and My electric currents, the teenager had ended up becoming a woman and feeling a strong need for independence. “Alizée was 16, then she turned 18… and at some point, there may have been a teenage crisis, perhaps a desire to exist… It may be also a bit suffocating to be in the shadow of Mylène Farmer“recalled Pascal Nègre, former CEO of Universal Music France, on the airwaves RFM.
