    5 out of 5 stars One Of the Most Beautiful Cd's in the World..........2007-03-05

    The "Star Academy 3" Winner brings an astounding and beautiful masterpiece by joining forces with one of the most talented musicians (Benjamin Biolay) making this an incredible trip to our deepest feelings. I EXTREMELY INVITE YOU to make "Le Jeu des 7 Erreurs" (The Game of the 7 Mistakes) a part of your colection... This is a Cd full of variations (hear the catchy song "La Fidelité" and the marvelous "Le Jeu des 7 Erreurs" featuring the voice of the producer/songwriter Benjamin Biolay) and if you love acoustic stuff ("La Ceinture", first single and such a beautiful song, "Les Rideaux" a piece wirtten by Élodie herself, among others on the disc) then, this disc will be such a wonderful thing to hear, I Promise...it worths it every cent!

    This version of the CD also includes a BONUS "Opendisc" where you can find videos, drawings by Élodie Frégé inspired by the songs of the album and a lot of surprises!

    Let's pretend a little while that Avril Lavigne, Hilary Duff or Britney Spears exist and try this, you'll not regret it!

    5 out of 5 stars une voix envoûtante!!.......2005-05-06

    Contrairement aux autres gagnantes des précédentes sessions de la star academy française,Elodie frégé est une artiste née.A 22 ans ,elle est auteur-compositeur de magnifiques chansons sur son premier album (chose qui a visiblement été refusé à la précédente gagnate Nolwenn leroy,à cause de la médiocrité de ses textes).Là où les autres gagnantes ont perdu, elle a tout gagné.C'est une artiste généreuse, et qui soucie peu de l'argent (elle a partagé le gain de la finale avec son concurrent!!).Une étoile montante de la chanson françcaise, à suivre!!!

    5 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good and different!.......2004-11-24

    Elodie, winner of the third edition of Star Academy and WorldBest (opposed the laureates from all over the countries in the world), debuts her first album with 3 of her own compositions: "Je te dis non" (I say NO to you), "Pardon" (Sorry), Pourtant (However...).

    With a variety of beats, the singer allows to demonstrate different techniques used in her tonality of her voice. With melancholy lyrics, the album is one of the most "Mature" ones ever released by one of the Laureates of the previous French Star Academy's (Nolwenn Leroy and Jenifer) and can be compared to Celine Dion , Shania Twain, Dido and other big USA voices.

    Many will be able to relate to Elodie Frege's album due to the writing of the songs that express painful and heartbreaking passed experiences with "love".

    3 out of 5 stars Varied and well produced debut album.......2004-05-23

    Elodie is the (surprise) winner of Star Academy 3, a very popular French talent search show comparable to Operacion Triunfo (Spain) or Fame Academy (UK). Her first album has been carefully produced in England (some say in Dido's spirit). Elodie positions herself in the French Divas category, as previous winner Nolwenn Leroy. Compared to Nolwenn, she proposes a more varied album but obviously possesses less technique. She is forcing her voice on several occasions. It does not make this a bad album, it is even rather agreeable to listen to.

    1. "De l'eau" (Water): the first single is a power ballad that starts slowly to build up on the chorus. Heavy rotation and a dramatic video (at the opposite of the romantic and transparent look chosen for the album leaflet pictures) made it a hit but I don't think it's the best track on the album. She forces her voice on the chorus. The lyrics are an allusion to Elodie's habit to cry at least once per day during her stay at the academy.

    2. "Faire semblant" (Make believe/Pretend): The lyrics are kind of autobiographical (Elodie had a bad relationship in the past) and Elodie says it is one of her favourites. The heavy, strong verses contrast with the lighter, sweeter chorus in an usual construction.
    3."Viens jusqu'à moi": I'm biased about this song, because it's a duet with my favourite contestant, finalist Michal. It's a romantic ballad (also available on Michal "de l'or et des poussières" together with a second duet even better in my opinion, "J'ai murmuré va-t-en"): "Drop down the armours, come to break brick by brick all walls and fill in all distances that keep you away from me; I'm sharing your wounds, I understand your errors, your erasures; if you tell me the words you were thinking softly, reach out to me".
    4. "Moins de toi" will remind you of Lara Fabian: Rick Allison, one of her long time collaborator is signing the ballad. It has single potential. "You see it's like in the past, everything still at the same place, here nothing's changed except there's less of you; you see I have a little too much space, everything's too big for me, I don't find my place easily in a place where you are not".
    5. "On se retrouvera" (we will find each other again): This song is slightly more upbeat and has a radio friendly chorus, but I feel it more as an album filler.
    6."Je te dis non" (I tell you No): Elodie is the first StarAc winner authorized to use a personal composition on her first album (Jenifer did not write and it was denied to Nolwenn). The song jazzy arrangements are interesting and I like Elodie's vocals here. She sounds different and sensuous. The song is close to her heart because her boyfriend Edouard (met in the academy) plays guitar on it.
    7."Sans en avoir l'air": This classic power ballad grew on me because of the sweet melancholy of the lyrics: "I don't know the one you were with, I don't want to know who she really is for you; I have no hate inside, the one that make you drown; it's like a silence that would not leave me; but love you without showing it I could not (...) I feel your heart beating, beating and this fog in your easy, I see it"
    8."Pardon": This is the second track composed by Elodie. I am not sure what to think about it. Do the heavy arrangements make it catchy (the songs seems to be popular among the fans) or rather annoying because too bombastic and over dramatic? Lyrics are about receiving a break up letter: "You said Sorry I can't stay anymore, you're hanged on my heart, I'm only leaving a letter, some low deed maybe; and I've read Sorry for me you suffered too much and my conscience lives in hell; if I have to choose Sorry, let me run away"
    9. "Quand il me manque" (when I'm missing him): This is another power ballad about waiting for your loved one to come back. I think it is more an album filler.
    10."Je sais si peu": This song is about growing up through experience, discovering life and love. "I know so little about life, who could have teach me? I know so little about life, sweetness and tender gestures; I know so little about life but I prefer to wait a little longer (...) will you understand me?"
    11."Pourtant": Here comes the third track written by Elodie. Stylistically speaking it is the best but I don't see it as a single. "I hate this black angel you are, I'm wearing this wound you made me and I'm sweating with all my blood my passion of you and my rage as much; keep your words and presents, I despise them as much as you're lying; I'm praying someone would break the chains that attach me to you because yet I love you".
    12."Je n'ai pas de remords": This is a favourite of mine, a sort of 'murder ballad'. She wakes up next to her lover feeling bad: he's getting married but with another. The end of the story? "This morning I would need warmth, comfort because weather is getter worse; this morning I'm feeling bad I made a hole in your body (...) I have no remorse's because you still exists". Strange isn't it?

    Elodie Frégé has potential and she does have stage presence. She still has to work on her vocal technique to become a really good singer. In the end, she's proposing a good, if not extraordinary, debut that should give her the opportunity to develop on stage during her first solo tour.
