Is she as good as her fellow countryman Slimy? You know, the one you said was a superstar and promised fame and fortune? Everyone knows your endorsement means nothing.

Perez, you NEED to check out : Mylene Farmer, she's the French Madonna.
Her tours are insane !

Check out, "Mylenium Tour (intro)" and "XXL Live a Bercy 96" with Madonna's back-up singer Donna De Lory.

Forget about Jenifer ! She's lame.

Jenifer ? I liked so much what she used to do, but she took a big head : she needs to make promotion of her new album, so a show tv invited her, and she doesn't come because "we talk to much about her right now" ! LOL !
But, that true, this song, specially the rhythm is really good !
Anyway, she won the first "star academy", and at this time she was my hero !

PS : When Mylene Farmer sing, you understand NOTHING ! Even when she speaks french & I'm french !

If you could speak french, you'd throw up listening to the lyrics.
Lame production, easy cheezy music, song took approximatively 15mn to write, video is lame and must have cost nothing, this is fast food music, even not suitable for elevators.
The French do it better? Not with her.

sebastien says – reply to this

32

Yes Jenifer is very famous in France! She has been a superstar for 10 years now. She's released 5 albums. Her songs are very dancy or very sentimental. Her new song 'l'amour & moi' is just very moving. And she is a REAL singer and performer on stage and close to her fans, contrary to others like Mylène Farmer. She derserves to be known outside France.
Farmerien says – reply to this

33

You have to know Mylène Farmer. She has sold more than 30 million records and is among the most successful recording artists of all time in France. She holds the record for the most number one hits in the French charts, with twelve to date. Mylène Farmer is more than Madonna en France or Russia. Her concerts and clips are impressives and it has many records in sales of tickets.

I am French. As it has already been said Jenifer is very famous in our country and this for more than 10 years. She won Star Academy a reality show and persist since and has managed to renew herself. She's still simple and has not took the big head contrary to what some people think poorly populated … She is a worker, a passionate and if musically she doesn't please everyone, I don't know anyone who doesn't like her as a woman. She is patron and supports that it each time when she can of humanitarian causes. She's a real nice person and for my part that I find very talenteuse and deserving. Thank you to Perez for this article very pleasantly surprising.
