What really happened between Alize and Mylene Farmer (8 photos + 4 videos)

2 June 2024

Without Mylene Farmer there would be no Alize. And that's a fact. Alize became a star in many countries thanks to her debut single, which was written, produced and presented to her by the creative duo Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat.





These two took the 16-year-old Corsican under their wing and made her a big name! Her hit “Moi... Lolita” is still relevant among listeners to this day and, perhaps, this is the performer’s biggest commercial breakthrough...



Alas, Alize’s collaboration with Farmer and Butonna ended on the second album “Mes Courants Electriques”: the album could not repeat the success of its predecessor, and her further solo career was not so dizzying and brilliant... Many listeners sincerely admit: Alize is a very sweet and pretty girl, but she was remembered exclusively thanks to “Lolita”.





In the future, Alize continued to release music, but significantly loosened her grip, devoting herself to family and dancing. The public has forgotten about her - only devoted fans continue to follow the woman’s work and life. But if it comes to Alize, many people ask with genuine interest: “So why did Alize and Farmer suddenly break up?”

“It’s all her lover’s fault!”



Many are sure that between Alize and Farmer there was not just a professional relationship, but a real friendship! In any case, their paths diverged “without trial or investigation” - that is, no one had anything against each other. Later, Mylene found herself a new protégé - young Julia, ironically also 16 years old! Some are sure that Alize was the initiator of the breakup, while others blame Farmer. How everything really happened is unknown. Both stars stubbornly maintain a vow of silence. But there are some hypotheses...



There is a version that Alize was the initiator of the breakup. Since the release of "Moi... Lolita" the girl had matured - she was no longer a teenager, and she did not want to play the role of the young adventurer "Lolita". In life, she was a quiet and shy person, and therefore outfits like the Yohji Yamamoto dress did not give her pleasure. And as she grew up, Alize felt completely ridiculous.



Rumor has it that at that time she was dating a guy who encouraged her to go solo - they say she already has a name, a significant fan base... And there, even without Farmer and Butonna, you can rock out. And get more money. He could also cheer Alize up by the fact that she would no longer have to wear hated outfits that barely cover women’s curves. As some foreign journalists noted, at the time of the breakup, Alize was at that age when everything impossible seems possible! Perhaps the girl simply overestimated her own capabilities.

Didn't see eye to eye, overestimation of fame



An interesting version was put forward by Pascal Negre, head of the record company 6 7 Ent. In his opinion, Alize was too young a girl when Farmer and Boutonna decided to make her a world star.

“She was only 16 years old. Perhaps she simply overestimated world fame - she hardly thought that in show business an artist should always follow other people's rules. At first she was stunned by her own popularity, but as she grew older she realized that she was not ready for this. And she decided to try to play by her own rules, which didn’t work out for her...”



According to Negre, at some point Alize’s rethinking also affected Farmer. Mutual trust was lost between them - each felt tension during work.

“As a result, it became a pointless pastime - they were pursuing different goals. There was no more general enthusiasm."

A look from a different angle



What if it was Farmer and Boutonnat who refused to collaborate further? This largely explains the lack of litigation. Alize was no longer that young and innocent girl. She turned 20 years old! She was already a young and mature girl with her own ambitions.

Perhaps Mylene realized that such success would no longer be possible - the image of “Lolita” had finally exhausted itself. And she simply allowed Alize to plunge into the world of solo creativity, already having a big name - they say, maybe something will come of it? And she decided not to waste time and focus on other projects.

"Love for Farmer"



As the years pass, one thing is clear: Alize treats Mylene with warmth. It is known that almost all these years she congratulated the French star on her birthday. And this congratulation could be of great importance, even if it did not immediately cause a response.

Rumor has it that Farmer invited Alizée and her husband Gregoire Lionnet - winners of the fourth season of the French show "Dancing with the Stars" - to work with Julia! Whether this is true or not is not known for sure. But if this is so, it sounds strange, considering how many other professional dancers Mylene knows on duty!



In 2014, Alize presented her sixth studio album, Blonde. The singer dedicated one of the songs to Milen, briefly commenting:

“I just want Mylene to know that my love for her has not faded...”



It is known that Farmer was the first person Alize notified about this song.
