Anybody listens to French music? I'm learning French, and my French teacher played some Jean-Jacques Goldman songs for us, which made me curious about French music. I really like On Ira. Are there any other similar songs/artists?

Angela Ammons' "Always Getting Over You." A hot French smash! They played her song overnight plenty of times! Check out my website for pictures of Angela's visit to France!  |

Only artists I like are MC Solaar (if you like hip hop) and French Affair (dance) -- and their songs are mostly in English with French interludes.
Actually I'm sure there are more, maybe I can think of some and post again later.

Oh thought of a couple more...
Kelly Joyce - Vivre La Vie (pop, sounds like a Bond song or something)
Kate Ryan - Mon Coeur Resiste Encore (dance)

The most famous French pop singer is probably Mylene Farmer, who really is like the French Madonna.
Download the following:
Désenchantée
Libertine
Je T'aime Mélancolie
XXL
Also a recent teen-singer called Alizee' who was groomed, written for and produced by Mylene, and even managed a UK top ten hit, very rare for a foreign-language non-novelty song.
Alizee's best:
Moi Lolita (Her big international hit, brilliant pop)
J'en ai marre
j'ai pas 20 ans
Hope that helps. Tell me what you think of them.
