A bit left-field this one, but strangely engaging nevertheless. One of the ‘Big 4′ which automatically qualify for Saturday’s final, France is represented by Sébastien Tellier, well-known in his home country for being more than a little eccentric.
Called Divine, the song has caused controversy in France, where political leaders have been outraged that the song uses both French and English lyrics. The dual-language lyrics make it no less distinctive, though, its electro beats pulsing behind Tellier’s vocals.
With more than a nod to Daft Punk, Tellier even drafted in one half of the French electro-pop duo to produce his latest album.
It’s not Eurovision in a traditional sense, but will it be a case of ‘zéro points’ in the Serbian capital on Saturday?
