I'm working on a video now and my subject is French so I thought it would be appropriate to have some French music. Thought I might try my luck with the ever wise and diverse tl community for some suggestions...
I'd like to put Alizee in there as a joke.. what are her better songs?
Also I'm looking for some french hip hop.. and the kind of hip hop maybe something like Rick Ross, Ludacris...
However, any good frenchy songs would be greatly appreciated, and if you could give me a direct link to something like youtube for a quick listen.. that would be awesome~
i looked up some translations before and found out they were all about sex lol, not that surprised i guess since I've seen her videos. She's really cool though and she makes good pop music.

I hope you are a Troll.
If you want really french music, go to some Chanson Francaise with people like Jacques Brel (although he was Belgian), Nougaro, Leo Ferré and so on. They are fucking amazing.
If you want something a bit less centered on poetry, maybe Noir Desir is good for you (a bit more rock, excellent group).
I have 2000 names for you, but it won't help. What kind of music do you really want?
I AM and MC Solaar are hip hop group/singers, so not the most representative of french music. And french hip hop sucks. Believe me.
Carla Bruni is a bitch who made a career because
1- She is from one of the richest italian family. 2- She is a model. 3- She fucked with half of the planet. 4- She is married with the idiot we have as a president.
She canno't sing, her lyrics suck and I don't like her.
Dude Carla Bruni has some great songs and melodies on her album "Quelqu'un m'a dit", however you may feel about her person.
But if the lyrics/pronounciation are as bad as on her new english album (which sucked in epic proportions), I can sympathize with your stance on her. Although most of the world can't really tell whether or not the lyrics suck in french...
I started listenning to her in 2006, and only recently has it become popular to "hate" Bruni. French tabloids really know how to work it, eh? Sure she's a bimbo and married your dumb fuck president, but "Quelqu'un m'a dit" is a good album in spite of these irrelevancies.

For hip hop i think you should check IAM and NTM because they are the two biggest names of hip hop here.
113 and rohff have killer beats but the lyrics are often meh or bad. But please don't ever pick a booba song. He is such an horrible fake gangsta rapper with a terrible flow pathetic lyrics and his songs are always ego trips :O
I was suprised there was no mention of Alizee... it seems no one is a fan of her? Well Ive decided to use J'en ai marre and parody her famous sexy tv performance.
Was kinda suprised that the "troll" was about Carla Bruni and not Celine Dion lol.
"Sniper - Hall Story" is a song that has made my short list but wasn't mentioned... no idea what the lyrics are tho, hope they are ok...
Got lots of new songs to consider now thanks to all your help^^
I actually am in a French class and they are picking up students to sing in french for a competition. Somehow they selected me (wtf)
So I may need help because, I tried googling some ballad songs fro french but Google isn´t so convincing, plus if you type French songs in Youtube, it's really hard to get some good music.
Mods please don't flame me or ban me I need the help
The question is: Does anyone knows about popular and modern french ballad or slow music? R&B is hard to do live and I don't have the vocal cords to sing any kind of rock music, and the time to rehearse some hiphop or rap music (though it would be kinda fun lol)
