[edit] The Layout

This chick is really hott. I mean goddamn, but don't you think it's an overkill on the photos? Robert Taylor 23:38, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

One of the most beautiful females I have ever seen, big fan. Ellis McNicoll

[edit] CD cover Image License

I have uploaded the image from her 1992 CD cover. It might be the wrong the licensing. Can someone help me fix it? Thanks

[edit] Claiming marriage between Paradis and Depp

First of all, as a long time fan of Depp, I know for a fact that their has not been an official announcement of marriage, that is unless you don't count the tabloid-frenzied Star magazine. Please refrain from editing both the Paradis and Depp pages with false statements of marriage. It gets old having to remove them. Thanks. Nikki88 22:17, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation of Paradis

I think it's more than relevant to have the pronunciation of her surname after the title. It's common to show the correct way to pronounce foreign names; in this case, for non-French speakers. Also, her name is among the most mispronounced names I've ever seen. The most common incorrect pronunciations being "Para-DISE" and "Para-DEES". I see no reason why it was removed, please state why you thought it was unnecessary. Nikki88 03:10, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Aside from my own opinion that pronunciations written like that are insulting to people's intelligence, I removed it because WP:PRON states that pronunciations written like that may be more unhelpful than not. For every person who will pronounce it Paradee, they'll be sombody who interprets it as Paradeh, or Paradey because that's how DEE is pronounced in their native tongue. Also, I notice there is no pronunciation required for the equally French Chantal, which if read as written, would be pronounced Chant-ull. Regards, BertieBasset 20:09, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

My opinion differs from yours, but I'm not at liberty to continue adding it. Nikki88 02:35, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps you could edit the proper way using IPA or how you see fit? However, I do see it important to have the pronunciation for her article. Nikki88 04:17, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Something close to [vane'sa para'di]. —Nightstallion (?) 00:07, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] link to a video showing her singing abilities as a kid: useful?

Hi, I found a video in youtube that shows her performing at the TV show "L'École des fans" in 1980 (and indeed, she performs very well for a 7years old kid!):

Do you think it could be useful to add it in the "external link" section? Being a "wikipedia beginner", I'm not sure if it's appropriate material too (related to legal issue, etc.). Oc.Gal 00:47, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
