Around the Show
A notable contestant for the season was then 30-year-old Lorie, a singer wildly popular in the early 2000s that TF1 has tried to get on the previous two seasons but who had previously declined because she felt that as an accomplished dancer, her participation would be unfair to the other contestants. However, with her sixth album ''Regarde-Moi'' proving to be a huge commercial failure and causing her to split from her label, she evidently changed her mind and even timed the release of her next album ''Danse'' with the show. The strategy was unsuccessful as ''Danse'' sold even less copies than ''Regarde-Moi'', forcing Lorie to cancel her planned 2013 concert tour.

Alizée Lyonnet (''née'' Jacotey; born 21 August 1984), known professionally as Alizée, is a French singer, dancer and musician. She was born and raised in Ajaccio, Corsica.
She first became known with her winning performance in the talent s ...
