Yelle Would Like To See You


French pop singer Yelle is out with a new video for “Je Veux Te Voir” (Translation: “I Want to See You”) and there’s two things that cross my mind about it: first, is it just me, or does she give off a serious Lady Miss Kier vibe? It must be the short smiley-faced dress she’s wearing. Second, the gym sequence reminds me of Benni Benassi’s “Satisfaction” clip. [YouTube]

    Check out her video on YouTube with Fatal Bazooka. I’ve been playing it in the club the last month or so where it literally stops the dance floor as people watch the screens.

    So let’s see now. Terrible Britney Spears clone+French lyrics=blog cred? Seriously if you lived in France right now, you’d all be laughing this off as derivative pop garbage, but because the lyrics are foreign it somehow seems cuter. Some get Jessica Simpson a Berlitz French phrase book stat!

    This has somehow inexplicably made it into MTV’s miniscule early-morning rotation… I’ve seen it twice now. Catchy, but it’s not like 12-year-olds can sing along to it.
