1. Dur Dur D'etre Un Bébé, the music video
Silly parents! It's so hard to be a (singing) baby. No but, seriously, this might be the best music video of all time.
-
2. Alison, the music video
At 4-years old, Jordy's a total heartbreaker.
-
3. Le Mauvais (LIVE)
Such stage presence, such awkward background dancing.
-
4. Ooh La La Baby (LIVE at the World Music Awards)
Not only does Jordy excel at lipsynching (he's a regular Britney Spears!) but the Whitney Houston doubletakes in this live performance are SO REAL. And we finally learn why Europe has such a weird reputation.
-
5. C'est Noel (It's Christmas)
Featured in “Look Whose Talking Now”, Jordy babytalks his way through this one. (Which I guess is OK, because he's a baby.)
-
6. Alison (LIVE)
Sidestepping his way through another brilliant performance.
-
7. OMG! Jordy in Brazil
This kind of looks like every parent's uploaded YouTube video of their children, but with a screaming audience (???) and a jean jacket.
-
8. Seriously, More of Jordy in Brazil
So apparently most of Jordy's fanbase lies in the Brazil — where it's a appropriate for a baby popsinger to be interviewed while being held by his mother. Who cares what language this is in? It's CREEPY.
-
9. Alison (LIVE on 'Noche Noche')
This one's ripe with moments where Jordy doesn't seem to know where he is and when his next naptime is scheduled. There's also a dancing Venus Flytrap. Yep.

10. Jordy Grows Up
Don't be sad, Jordy is not a midget orphan so he couldn't stay young forever. He eventually grows into a spiky-haired young adult and starts a band called “Jordy and the Dixies.” With this, baby rock is officially dead.
The Best of Jordy Lemoine
Unless you were introduced to this baby popstar in your middle school French class like I was, you might not know of Jordy Lemoine — the world's youngest singer ever to have a #1 single. At four, his song 'Dur Dur D'etre un Bébé' ('It's Hard Being a Baby') hit the charts, leading not only to charges child exploitation, but some of the most incredible live performances of all time.

“When Jordy’s parents divorced in 1996, he was freed from the millstone of child-stardom and has reappeared for a second act only recently: on the reality TV show Celebrity Farm 2 (which he won); and as the frontman of the so-called “indie” band (read: Eurotrash) Jordi and the Dixies. Has Jordi really grown up? In 2006, he published his memoir Je Ne Suis Plus Un Bébé written, incidentally, with the help of his mother.”

After Jordy’s parents creepily opened a Jordy farm — a sort of French gloss on the Neverland Ranch that was forced to shutdown amid further accusations of child exploitation, the French government banned six-year-old Jordy from television and radio, out of concern that he was being exploited by his parents.”

In college, people sang Elvis Costello's “Alison” to me. When I moved to France, people sang Jordy's “Alison” to me. Thanks for the memories. :)

It's comforting knowing there's a baby rock producer out there who loved “Pump Up The Jam” so much they turned it into a Christmas song.

Holy crap! I forgot about him totally! This is like on par with when I found out Kirk Cameron was a religious fruitcake years after his TV stardom days, and/or the re-emergence of the Kids Incorporated chicks Renee & Fergie coming out of the proverbial woodwork (because it wouldn't work) as Wild Orchid. Good eye, Lindsey!

I, too, was introduced to Jordy in my middle school French class. I thought he was just a fragment of a bad dream. Looks like I was wrong.

Ohhh no here in france we were trying to forget him ! lol
Still one of the most uncromphensive french music phenomena !
Nowadays jordy is trying to race speedboats, played in a reality show, wrote a book against his parents who robbed all the money …. sad history of a kid who has been exploited as so much other.
