Aurelie Nguyen, aka Little, is a great admirer of Britney Spears. I guess that's the pop princess Britney, not the crazy, drunk, papparazzi-bumping mother-from-hell Britney. Little is Aurelie's nickname for a long time. She's 20 years old, and from Vietnamese descent; her mom and her brother were her first musical influences (mom sang Vietnamese songs, bro played acoustic guitar), but we shouldn't think the Nugyen's are like the Corrs (thankgod). A part from Britney, Aurelie also likes Pauline Croze and Anaïs. Which is nice. Last year she released an EP, her album will released in April. An acoustic version of Je Veux Des Violons is here. Myspace here.
Little - Je veux des violons (Merci Natasha)
Little - Chanson de Filles (Merci SOM)
If you think that last song is cute, watch this
great ripoff of "venus".
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe (guitar)intro does indeed remind a Little (ha!) to Venus, but that's all. Besides that I prefer the sweet voice of Aurelie Nguyen way above Mariska Veres' voice and all the others that recorded a version of Venus through the years.

And LOL @ Marion Cotillard's interview in 'English' ;-)
