Sebastien Tellier tells it like it is

In further cheesy news, the ginormous gorgonzola that is the Eurovision contest is already giving us cheesy grins. We're sure UK entry Andy Abraham enjoys his cheddar as much as the next man, but we all know French brie beats all. And by brie, we mean white suited French men.

You might well be following the garlic spitting contest that is the Eurovision language-of-lyrics controversy. The greatest white suited songster since Elvis -- that is Sebastien Tellier -- has been getting a bit of grief from his frenchie posse. Apparently, crooning in English is du trop. A faux pas too far. We are a bit confused at this, since we always thought that the Eurovision was all about heavily accented part-English sung Euro pap. Or rather, Euro pop.

It's all good though, cause in a bid to stay in favour Monsieur Tellier is further frenchifying those lyrics of his. As long as he doesn't touch crazy titles like Sexual Sportswear we don't mind. Set your recorders for the Eurovision well in advance.

And you'll be happy to know you can catch him when he comes to London, at Scala April 28. This stinky side-burned cheese just to good to miss.
