Here are the Eurovision betting odds for France, with help from Paddy Power…
France: (pop. 63,044,000; a country whose metropolitan territory is in western Europe) S?ebastien Tellier, Divine
Divine by S?ebastien Tellier has the unique honour of being the only song on hecklerspray‘s iPod that was there before we knew it’d be a Eurovision song. It’s a brilliant pop song – produced by one of Daft Punk, Divine comes off like the result of a fight between Brian Wilson, Timbaland and Cornelius, although one of those fights that ends with a disgusting display of three-way sexual intercourse between the combatants. It’s slippery, slight, modern and intelligent and, if the video above is any indication, Sebastien Tellier’s Eurovision performance is going to a highlight the likes of which we won’t have seen for years. However, Eurovision’s never really been very well known for its sophisticated, hiply ironic audience, so the poor bugger doesn’t stand a chance. But buy Sexuality, the album that this came from, anyway. It’s a little bit bloody good. Current Eurovision betting odds – 33/1
Tomorrow – FYR Macedonia! But if that’s too long to wait – or you feel like making more money than you know what to do with – head right over to the Paddy Power Eurovision betting odds page to see the latest, and best, betting odds.
