Sebastian Tellier does Eurovision for France

By Rebecca Nicholson

Reasons why France is brilliant #198: they take their Eurovision seriously enough to get someone half-decent to represent them. Competing against Ireland's turkey and the UK's "ex-binman!" Andy Abrahams will be... beardy electro perv Sebastian Tellier. Hooray!

French Head of Delegation, Bruno Berberes, says: “We deeply believe in this entry and, would this choice confuse French ballads lovers, it will help with a giving the contest a new lease of life in France”.

Double hooray! Sebastian will perform Divine, sung in English. The original is on his most recent album Sexuality, and you can hear it here.
