Language purists in France are très malheureuse with Sebastien Tellier because his Eurovision entrant, “Divine,” has lyrics en Anglais, a move that was made in part because English-language songs have pretty much dominated the competition. Can’t we smooth over any ruffled feathers by reminding the offended Francophiles that Tellier may sing in English, but he’s proved his French bona fides via the employment of tasteful nudity?
