Talk:Yelle

Nickname
"Yelle (a portmanteau of yeah and elle)"

Wrong. According to an interview (http://www.yelle.fr/conf/upload/muteen10.jpg), Yelle is made from YEL (you enjoy life), with an added "le" to look more feminine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.242.88.93 (talk) 06:11, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

The pronunciation is meant with yeah and elle, not the meaning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.198.188.71 (talk) 13:38, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


 * There seem to be two contradicting statements. In this interview she states when asked "Pourquoi Yelle?", "Parce que c'etait le 'Yeah', 'Y-E-A-H' et 'elle'. C'est 'yea-elle', 'Yelle'!" --Hpesoj00 (talk) 03:10, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

In the first interview mentioned, she also says "Yel était déjà le nom d'un groupe belge..." Yel was already the name of a Belgian group. Just a guess, but she may have made up "Yeah Elle" to make the similarity less obvious.Torca (talk) 06:41, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Single title
Is the second single's title (A cause des garçons) a referene to the french film "À cause d'un garçon"?--Nauki 08:35, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

it was a song originally by Alain Chamfort and Pierre Grillet performed by a band of the same name comprising Laurence Heller and Hélène Bérard


 * Hm strange, the song Je veux te voir is only in charts in the Netherlands as of 2008 Mallerd (talk) 23:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I see I was too lazy to read 3 lines further, I guess it's the re-release. Mallerd (talk) 23:19, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Home town
According to Last.FM Yelle hails from Saint-Julien in Brittany (http://www.last.fm/music/Yelle), not Saint-Brieuc, Bretagne. I'm not up on my French locales, nor Last.FM's information gathering techniques, so can somebody explain the discretion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Little tinyfish (talk • contribs) 21:25, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Saint Julien is a little town only 10kms far from Saint Brieuc which is the main city in the area —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.13.109.81 (talk) 22:24, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Yelle - the band and the singer
Shouldn't there be a distinction between the two? Yelle is the lead singer of YELLE (the band), is this article about the singer or the band? 155.69.192.71 (talk) 01:01, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm treating it as a page about the singer for now. 155.69.192.71 (talk) 01:23, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Converted into the band page. 155.69.192.117 (talk) 03:58, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
