The mighty Sebastien Tellier has bowed to pressure in France and has promised to add some French lyrics to his Eurovision performance of ‘Divine.’
The singer sparked controversy in France over entering the competition with a song sung predominately in English. Minister Alain Joyandet moaned: "When one has the honour of being selected to represent France, one sings in French.”
In a fresh radio interview, Tellier says that although he feels the response is overblown he will change the song to please the French public.
He said: "The baguette won't taste any worse tomorrow morning if I sing in English. I'm not going to fight it. I just want to please people."
Tellier substantiated his side of the argument by saying he was never asked by France-3, the station which nominated the entry, to put forward a French song. "If I had been asked to do a song expressly for Eurovision, I clearly would have done something in French.
"If it makes everyone happy, of course I'll make an effort (to sing in French). I'm not dense."
