Sebastien caves into Le Pressure!


With all the criticism in France about this year's French entry being sung in English, Sebastien Tellier has bowed to pressure and agreed to add more "mots francais" to his song Divine.

Language purists and even the government are upset that Sebastien's ESC entry will be sung primarily in English.

Sebastien said today on RTL radio that he could make an effort and add French words. But he says he doesn't really agree with critics who suggest that English lyrics slight France. For him, singing in English doesn't mean that "the baguette won't taste as good."

You tell 'em Sebastien! Have your baguette YOUR way!
