+1, she's a big boring cliché and I've never liked her nasal voice. I prefer Françoise Hardy, France Gall, Veronique Sanson and Mylene Farmer

I don't understand why some people ask questions like these. It's like some kinf od provocation or I don't know.

Some French songs become kinda famous also here in Italy, for example " je veux" by Zaz was often on our radio some years ago.

Well I've never sung, i find it a bit creepy
In my opinion Italian music is largely overrated in Italy. Many people always listen all the time Italian songs while American songs become famous mainly thanks to commercials on tv (mobile phones, cars), especially if they sound happy and silly.
With some exceptions, Italian music nowadays is largely boring and schmaltzy with nothing new since ages ago, yet it's very popular here.
