◄ L'amour à la française (2007)   

"Divine" is a song by Sébastien Tellier from his 2008 album Sexuality. The song represented France at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008.[1] The song is sung in English, but was sung in both English and French at Eurovision. [2] However, the fact that most of the song was sung in English has caused some criticism, and has even been brought up in the French parliament.[3]
