Something you cannot live without. YELLE.

[EnFa]

YELLE - Je veux te voir (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LawV-IR6h0)
I don't know much french, but the chorus is interesting


A Cause Des Garçons (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmLjZrH0VlY)
A remix of acdg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYaZYmTwOxA) Notice the biiiig letters :naughty:

I remember some random woman calling her a very annoying woman. But she's so amazing. You have to hear it over and over again!

[Hannah]

Yelle is fantastic, from what I've heard of her. I downloaded Je veux te voir a month or so ago when I heard she would be opening for Mika. I love singing it in the car, because no one understands what I'm singing. :lmfao:

I don't understand French well either, but these lyrics were from Yelle's blog.

I want to see you
In a pornographic movie
In action with your dick
Shape potatoes or french fries (I think it's supposed to be asking if it's shaped like potatoes or French fries. :lmfao:)
To know everything
About your anatomy
About your cousin Teki
And your fetish accessories (and your accessory fetishes? Maybe?)

Yay :yay: More more more! It's very weird indeed. I understand why Mika didn't mind having her along

[Hannah]

Her shoes need to go, because those DO look like the women from the 80s aerobic videos, but I like everything else. :D

[backflip_76]

I honestly have never heard any of her songs. *bad Hollis*

But I'm going to listen right now...that dirty song sounds very...interesting...

[Hannah]

Here's all of the lyrics. God, she's fantastic. :lmfao: I'd love to see her live.

Cuizinier with your little sex surrounded with red hairs
I can't believe you can believe someone may want you
I don't believe it even in the dark, even if you keep your pyjamas
Even if you keep your dressing gown in a shape of kitsch tee
Keep your shirt this will limit damages bastaaaard !

I want to see you
In a pornographic movie
In action with your dick
Shape potatoes or french fries
To know everything
About your anatomy
About your cousin Teki
And your fetish accessories

Cuizi what's
Your favorite position ?
Your olympic performance ?
But you have nothing orgasmic
You are naked under your apron
Ready to draw
But I must say that this is no use !

You're dreaming of a fluo Hummer
Designed by Akroe
But you don't have a driving licence !
You always take the metro

Superstar for one night your life becomes normal again after that
No need of sunglasses to hide yourself nobody recognize you
Your greencard awaits you, man !
This is not just talks
I managed to make you
One with my scanner
Entrance is free tonight
This is the only way we come
So girls hanging around?
Yeah we go to chippendales
We did not wanted to spend the night with funny guys
We wanted to see muscles, guys with bull-size dicks !

Your Lil'Jon posters cover those of Magic Johnson
Your body's too crunk to manage dunks

Cuizinier it's you that I want to see
That I want to see tonight
Being ridiculed by a girl that raps better than you
I don't have enough of my 10 fingers to count them in the hall
All those girls hair-dressed like me that know what you're worth when naked.

[EnFa]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice :wub2: Love love love it! Thanks.

Her shoes are awful. I fell like slapping every little I see wearing them

[Barunka]

Thx for posting the translation.. and she seems so innocent :D
I have her CD, it's really good.. had to get it after i saw her as the opening act for Mika.. damn, why does she have gigs only in France?:)

[Mika4Life13]

zOMG my french teacher was like think of sentences beginning with je veux and i was like TE VOIR DANS UN FILEM POR--you know the rest.

[Suzy]

You know Yelle was in Toronto, then Montreal Canada just a few weeks ago. :mf_rosetinted:

[mellody]

i wouldn't say i'm a fan, but i've come to like her during the tour. still don't like the electronic parts in the songs (and when i read this thread i think it's better that i don't understand french! :naughty: ), but apart from that, her songs are really catchy, and at the berlin concert i was actually dancing and clapping along like mad, don't know if i was just in a good mood or if it was her music that made me so euphoric. probably both. :bleh:

[Mika4Life13]

sorry i don't really like her. i guess it's because we're alot more sheltered here than europe so i guess her song lyrics are a bit disturbing

[Ioana]

I was so close to getting a nice french to english convo with the Tepr,but he was constantly on the phone,and it didn't cross my mind to disturb him

[Barunka]

sorry i don't really like her. i guess it's because we're alot more sheltered here than europe so i guess her song lyrics are a bit disturbing
Well it's a matter of opinion :-) I actually don't understand what she sings about, cause french is not one of languages I'm learnin... but I like the mellody and yea.. whatever.. x)

[Mika4Life13]

i don't get it either but when she says "Je veux te voir dans un film pornographique" those things kinda BAM go right into your vision.

[Ioana]

well I'm sorry but 50's "candy shop" and 'magic sticks' don't really impress me either:lol3:
u mean because she uses the explicit words it makes it worse? it;s actually a way more harmless song than Candy shop is

[Mika4Life13]

yeah i'm used to very very flat out songs that aren't like that at all. it really changes things :lol3: because i am not used to it and ..i guess i'm not that colourful haha.

[Queenie]

I was so close to getting a nice french to english convo with the Tepr,but he was constantly on the phone,and it didn't cross my mind to disturb him

I had the chance to talk to Grand Marnier in Bologna. He was so nice!! I asked him about coming to Spain and he said they´re dying to come..HOPE SO!! *fingers crossed*

[sparkly1]

I didn't like her music at all, it was just a loud background noise when I saw her in Brixton, it's not as bad as rap but I still found it irritating, and now I have more idea about what she was actually singing then I like her songs even less, not my cup of tea at all, I can see why Mika likes her and Andy totally freaked out like a loon when she was on. Her music when you don't understand a word she is singing is just a a sort of rhythmic loop but rather boring after a few mins.

But hey it takes all sorts to make a world and we can't all like the same things, I also didn't like the 2nd Brixton support band but Palladium is in a totally different league cos they are brilliant.

I believe that for people who have never heard her before it must have been boring after few minutes...

[musicfreak]

wow i'm glad i saw these posts. thanx for introducing me to Yello. i'd never heard of her b4. i like the tecktonik remix

[Mika4Life13]

omg i had to translate so much of je veux te voir to artsy :lmao: AWKWARD

[sparkly1]

oh give me MUSE any day :naughty::naughty: I want to see them live so bad (my son has seen them twice and I am jealous :sneaky2: I just entered a comp to see if I can win tickets cos I would have to re mortgage the house to go and see them :blink:

[wasabi_tea]

Her music when you don't understand a word she is singing is just a a sort of rhythmic loop but rather boring after a few mins.

Ah, I can understand that. I did French up to A-Level, so I at least have some idea of what she's going on about LOL, but without that, I think I'd probably find her music kinda boring too.

As it is, though, well, I enjoyed her music enough while listening to it on YouTube that I got her album :biggrin2: 'Tis very good, IMO. When I first listened to her music on the internet, though, apart from 'Je veux te voir', it did take a while to grow on me.

(Oh, and Muse are indeed teh r0xXor =D )

[ohwowitsnicka]

Yeah, I was at HMV yesterday and I couldn't find her CD in the POP section or the FRANCOPHONE section... :boxed:

[uhsofamous]

Oh, i like her!
i heard of her from Shanickas face book
:naughty:
but i dont speak good french, so half of the song im like "Huh?"

[Fmbm]

Yay! She finally finished making the new video for "Je Veux te Voir" !

Here it is:

I like it. The start's cool, the exercise is random and the club scene is sufficiently weird.

But I think I like the other version better. It feels less dirty without the over-the-top cartoon colours and subtitles. :naughty:

[Queenie]

The new vid is colourful and cheery. I like it :D

[suzie]

I watched a couple of her videos on youtube last year and I did not like her...

However, my opinion changed completely after the Brixton gig. She was amazing live and thought that most songs were brilliant... . I wish her all the best.:thumb_yello:

[lollipopgirl83]

Haha...I'd been meaning to post in here for awhile. Love her.

She was a staff pick on American iTunes a few days ago and I swear I heard one of her songs on an MTV commercial...it was just at the end, but I'd swear it was her song...

[femifrosk]

I can live without her. :biggrin2: Tho I love the 'Parle à ma main' video, it's hilarious.

[celesteee]

have u heard her lyrics?
HAHA. :glasses2:

but yeaaah i kinda like her songs! :biggrin2:

[phunkygal]

oh sweetness, there is a thread (stupid me:naughty: ) hello then!

[ravi66]

yeah... if u like Yelle, u really should check out some of the recent dance hits from Europe....

it's pretty clear that dance music is coming back in the USA ... and around the world...

and everyone knows that the hottest stuff comes from the euros.....check this compilation series on itunes, for example, extremely nasty stuff:

[lollipopgirl83]

There's nothing really wrong with that.
But I do like a good, heart felt ballad once and awhile.

Mika knows how to balance the fun tracks with the sadder, more serious ones.

Not sure what i think of her music, it's one of those things that you either like it or not. Few days ago i looked up the lyrics to her songs and she is one naughty girl LOL.

[Kissable]

I'm listening to her music in Youtube and i think she's cool!!!

[Louiza]

After seeing her live on february 26, i think she's a really good singer

Yelle Enjoys Making Out With Girls And Sex Toys

Thursday April 24, 2008 @ 04:30 PM
By: ChartAttack.com Staff

Remember when Michelle Pfeiffer played Catwoman in Batman Returns? There was the innocent, cute and simple Michelle that most people knew, and then there was the ferociously hot, filthy and slightly evil Michelle. Take away the evil part and you have yourself a matching description of France's new pop princess, Julie Budet, also known as Yelle (a combination of yeah and elle).

By night, Yelle is a sex kitten wrapped in spandex, balloon dresses and neon everything. She declares war on short-dicked men (famously in her joke dis-track "Je Veux Te Voir"). She wants to dance, party, make out with girls, play with her beloved dildo and tell it like it is. By day, she's a very different young woman.

"My real name is Julie and I have a different name to make music because it's like a character of myself," Yelle explains in a thick French accent.

"I live in Britanny [a French province] because I have my family and friends and I live in a little house with a garden. It's cheaper than living in Paris. Here I can make music, go to the sea and walk with my dogs. Yelle is really an extension of me, who finds it easier to talk about sex, love and parties.

"But I'm just a 25-year-old girl in 2008. I'm very concerned about the environment and feminism and politics, but I don't want to talk about that in my songs."

These songs make up Yelle's deliciously danceable Pop-Up debut. With beats created by French electro DJ GrandMarnier and Yelle's playful French rap and kids-on-the-playground style melodies, the duo have created a record of brilliantly big-beated, shameless pop.

"It was important for me to make a light album because in France we have lots of French singers, and they are always talking about sadness and heartbreak, and I wanted to talk about something easier with happy feelings — like sex toys and love between girls," Yelle explains. "It was really nice to make this record as Yelle with easy words and easy feelings."

It's these "easy feelings" that got Yelle and her touring band (GrandMarnier and DJ/producer Tepr) an opening spot on Mika's last tour. The crazy pop caravan took them across Europe and propelled Yelle into hipster dance parties worldwide. Though Yelle raves about her time with Mika's happy cartoon parade, there were some downsides.

"It was a big organization and sometimes it was difficult because we were just the support band, and often it would be four of us in a little room. We also weren't on the tour bus with the crew. We were in our little car and just followed the tour bus. Sometimes it was really hard to take long trips without a driver. Sometimes it was hard to find our way."

Yelle seems to be right on track for the summer, however. She'll have a chance to give Canada a taste when she visits Toronto's Great Hall on April 30 and Montreal's Club Soda on May 2.

—Phil Villeneuve

i think she was a lucky bunny anyway....:wink2:

[Christine]

Thanks Robi. Suzy and I are going to see her next week.

Yes I saw her at Brixton in December and in February. Yop, Kata and I had a good time dancing when she was on in February. We were in the second row and had lots of room to move around. We also had the French contingent next to us so it was quite rowdy for Yelle's performance.

And yes...I would love to see Mika afterwards! But not this time I'm afraid.

We're going to see another one of his opening acts (Creature) tomorrow night.

don't stop at the title...there's more to read, as for instance how she and her mates drove across Europe following Mika's fish tank.....


Yelle Enjoys Making Out With Girls And Sex Toys

Thursday April 24, 2008 @ 04:30 PM
By: ChartAttack.com Staff

Remember when Michelle Pfeiffer played Catwoman in Batman Returns? There was the innocent, cute and simple Michelle that most people knew, and then there was the ferociously hot, filthy and slightly evil Michelle. Take away the evil part and you have yourself a matching description of France's new pop princess, Julie Budet, also known as Yelle (a combination of yeah and elle).

By night, Yelle is a sex kitten wrapped in spandex, balloon dresses and neon everything. She declares war on short-dicked men (famously in her joke dis-track "Je Veux Te Voir"). She wants to dance, party, make out with girls, play with her beloved dildo and tell it like it is. By day, she's a very different young woman.

"My real name is Julie and I have a different name to make music because it's like a character of myself," Yelle explains in a thick French accent.

"I live in Britanny [a French province] because I have my family and friends and I live in a little house with a garden. It's cheaper than living in Paris. Here I can make music, go to the sea and walk with my dogs. Yelle is really an extension of me, who finds it easier to talk about sex, love and parties.

"But I'm just a 25-year-old girl in 2008. I'm very concerned about the environment and feminism and politics, but I don't want to talk about that in my songs."

These songs make up Yelle's deliciously danceable Pop-Up debut. With beats created by French electro DJ GrandMarnier and Yelle's playful French rap and kids-on-the-playground style melodies, the duo have created a record of brilliantly big-beated, shameless pop.

"It was important for me to make a light album because in France we have lots of French singers, and they are always talking about sadness and heartbreak, and I wanted to talk about something easier with happy feelings — like sex toys and love between girls," Yelle explains. "It was really nice to make this record as Yelle with easy words and easy feelings."

It's these "easy feelings" that got Yelle and her touring band (GrandMarnier and DJ/producer Tepr) an opening spot on Mika's last tour. The crazy pop caravan took them across Europe and propelled Yelle into hipster dance parties worldwide. Though Yelle raves about her time with Mika's happy cartoon parade, there were some downsides.

"It was a big organization and sometimes it was difficult because we were just the support band, and often it would be four of us in a little room. We also weren't on the tour bus with the crew. We were in our little car and just followed the tour bus. Sometimes it was really hard to take long trips without a driver. Sometimes it was hard to find our way."

Yelle seems to be right on track for the summer, however. She'll have a chance to give Canada a taste when she visits Toronto's Great Hall on April 30 and Montreal's Club Soda on May 2.

i think she was a lucky bunny anyway....:wink2:
"...from canada" Does that mean SHE's from canada or the articile is form canada??

[Christine]

"...from canada" Does that mean SHE's from canada or the articile is form canada??

The article is Canadian. Yelle is French.

[sienna]

I liked her a lot in Brixton!

She was good!:wub2:

And I liked the way she was dressed too, unusual and still very feminine!:thumb_yello:

[phunkygal]

its sorta weird, cuz i dress a lot like Yelle. she is one of my fashion inspirations along with mika, i wish i could have seen her live, instead i saw the Midway State, who was okay, but im sure yelle would have been much better. i really hope she comes to Boston. then i can persuade my french teacher to come with me (haha, guarunteed good grade in her class)

[Mika4Life13]

The article is Canadian. Yelle is French.
Yeeeeahhh 'cause Quebec speaks german :roftl:


I ment french canadian. OK, so she's from france then.

[phunkygal]

[Mika4Life13]

you seem in a defensive mood today M. what is the matter?
I do ? Well...nothing, really...

[phunkygal]

[Mika4Life13]

[Christine]

Closetmikafan, Christine, and I seeing Yelle really late tonight! A few Red Bulls might help. :naughty:

I just need a very long nap beforehand. Midnight is actually better than a 10 pm start time. Gives me a chance to rest up. :biggrin2:

Ok, I have to admit it... I downed a RedBull before we went to Kate Nash on Monday. :blush-anim-cl:

Here is Yelle in all her glory. Pics not taken by me, by the way.

She had an awesome shirt dress on that looked like it had been made by the Penniman clan. The front was entirely sequined fabric, the back was satin and had a clown drawn in thick embroidery.

She had on the same fluorescent bracelets she wore in London which gave me flashbacks to the gigs, especially since Petra had brought 500 glow stick bracelets with her and handed them out to everyone in the front rows.

Never imagined so many people in Toronto would be into Yelle but the place was packed and the crowd was enthralled with her.

I noticed that Mika and Yelle have many of the same moves.

So I tried a little Freddie...

The venue was a tiny version of the Brixton Academy. About 1/6th the size.

She's doing the Five Days Off Festival in Amsterdam this week.

[Nâgö!]

[Mici]

Took some pics of Yelle on Friday, mostly through the screen. I really liked her performance she was on fire.
Kudos for her for playing the remix version to "a cause des garson", that version rocks! :punk:
