Vanessa Chantal Paradis (born December 22, 1972 in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, France) is a French singer and actress.
She was discovered on the TV show L’École des fans in 1980. She recorded her first single La Magie des surprises-parties in 1985. Although it was not a hit, it paved the way for the song with which she would become internationally famous - “Joe le taxi” in 1987, while she was still only 14 years old. It was #1 in France for 11 weeks and, unusually for a song sung in French, was released in the United Kingdom the following year, where it reached #3. It was taken from her first album M&J (it stands for Marilyn & John) which, although it gained a number 13 placing in France, drew little attention in the UK and did not chart.
In 1992, now 19 and working in the United States with rock musician Lenny Kravitz, who was her boyfriend for a while, Paradis began work on a new album sung in English, in which she had become fluent. Written and produced by Kravitz, the album, titled Vanessa Paradis, topped the French chart and briefly made the UK listings (number 45). One of the singles from it was Be My Baby, which made number 5 in France and gave her another Top 10 UK hit (number 6). She has since appeared in several films, most famously “Noce Blanche”, for which she won the 1990 César Award for Most Promising Actress; 1999’s La fille sur le pont (aka Girl on the Bridge), which became an arthouse box office hit in the United States; and 2004’s Mon Ange.

ahhh meu deus, eu vi agora.. sai dia 21 em dvd! Q felicidade, mal posso esperar p assistir! Eu também prefiro mil vezes ela cantando q atuando. Eu acho q se a Vanessa lançasse um álbum a cada 2 anos e meio, eu até poderia apreciar mais ela fazendo filme, mas como ela dedica mt pouco tempo a vida profissional, eu preferia q ela o usasse pra música. Sem falar q nem sempre ela tem o melhor olho pra filme né.. Tomara q os filmes q saem esse ano sejam bons e seus dias de atomik circus fiquem pra trás ;)

Verdade! E tipo, o filme estreia essa semana enquanto no Canadá em fevereiro já sai o dvd! Muahaha bem feitos. Mas assim, alguns filmes franceses mais 'lado B' tem chegado aqui... mas nas minorias das salas, e só em cidade grande. Ou pelo menos, legendado na internet vamos encontrar :(( KKKKKKK Pois é, ela é mais essas profissões do que cantora. E honestamente, prefiro ela cantando do que atuando. Até porque, as músicas nos acompanham sempre, em todos os momentos, a voz dela nos acalma... já com filmes é diferente. Não dá para ver todo dia, e aqui só podemos ver pelo pc. Chato isso, queria que ela se importasse mais com a carreira musical dela.

Mas dessa vez os fãs franceses tão experimentando o q é a espera p ver um filme dela já q 'café de flore' estreou há meses no canadá e só chega na França dia 25 (há!). Mas, duvido mt q o filme chegue aqui já q ele não é nem de perto tão comercial q nem ' l'arnacoeur', q é um filme bem americanizadinho. E aqui no Brasil geralmente preferem passar um filme B pastelão americano do q um excelente de outro país, ou seja, se tiverem q escolher entre passar um 'american pie ' e 'café de flore', a gente sabe qual será o escolhido :/ E é verdade, já faz 5 anos desde o último álbum. Entre 88 e 92 ela lançou 3 álbuns e entre 93 e 2012, só 2!! Doidooo! Vanessa hoje em dia é mais atriz e modelo do q cantora.

Pois é, a gente que mora fora da França só se ferra huahuaha. Vi que ela vai fazer um dueto no álbum do Alain Chamfort, espero mesmo que pelo menos essas músicas "soltas" sejam mais frequentes. Eu acho que Café de Flore chega aqui, mas daqui a uns dois anos (como foi com Heartbreaker), mas logo logo tem na internet. Um saco isso, agora ela leva 5 anos pra lançar um álbum. Bem, ela já mesmo disse que não sente falta do público. Quem somos nós pra reclamar né rss

Pois é né! às vezes é triste a lentidão na carreira dela. A pior parte é q morando fora da França nem aos filmes a gente tem acesso. 'un monstre à paris', por exemplo, só em fevereiro vai dar p baixar ele em formato dvd. 'café de flore' e os filmes desse ano só deus sabe quando.. Mas tomara q ela lance mais músicas ''soltas'' esse ano tipo 'angora', 'ballade de melody nelson' etc É muito chato as únicas novidades dela serem photoshoots! até entrevistas em video são só de vez quando.

Acho difícil, ela está focada mais na carreira cinematográfica dela. Um cd só em 2013 ou 2014...
