Sébastien Tellier (France): first rehearsal

[bonkswa]

i think this was one big joke, and a really funny one for the jokers

[coaking]

the king! awesome song

[logikix]

TOMORROW NITE BABY! IN LOS ANGELES!!

[gaivskakashi]

one of the few people i really want to meet in my lifetime.

[BillionDollarZombie]

Whatta bum... he's like Sacha Baron, only w/ talent of the fucking musical kind.

Vive La France!

[Parisianmongol]

haha trop bon accent français :) vraiment formidable ce type

[sendonify]

Never send a real artist to Eurovision!

No one can doubt Tellier´s song was the best one!

Eurovision´s unofficial slogan: "No legs, no prize"

[Jimbowholivesinsoup]

@sendonify but he has legs,, YEAH

[Pulpski]

ça fait chier que les choeurs aient été faux... morceau sympa d'un album sympa, mais pas son meilleur

[enemyindisguise]

the background singers are really crap ...

[JimmyDiggs87]

i was nervous right away, but then i heard his voice and it was all good.

[ButtmanBeats]

I see the chivers anyway

[lifeonloop]

Tellier is far too cool to be appearing on crap like Eurovision. He`s far superior talent wise than any of the other so called musicians

[laukkamari]

@lifeonloop i agree totally

[rapperzondernaam]

tres gainsbouresque!!

[supermegaburne]

foutaises. perroquet des médias va!

[locopasadena]

great Sébastien. best regards from Spain

[tximeleta35]

je je we, spanish, also have a big problem with english pronunciation!!!

La chanson c,est magnifique!

[robinfinity]

This may be possible, because the songs are rehearsed more, and when speaking he probably thinks more about the words then the accent. So he can probably speak without accent, but not that fast. I saw other singers (not only french) do the same thing. But again, he may do it for the chicks :)

[davestints]

The backing singing is truly awful but he's spot on.

[gabibritoo]

HOHOHOHO.

vou vê-lo no dia 18 aqui em recife.

[baptiste205019]

C'est vraiment un champion Sébastien Tellier! j'aime bien le ton qu'il prend et l'accent (volontairement?) français qu'il prend pour se foutre du présentateur et d'eurovision xD! Par contre le clip est mieux que la chorégraphie...

[denazj]

I know lots of French people who can speak with not much of accent but force to speak with the strongest accent they can in public. Specially if there are ladies. Though, when they do not force it, they still have an accent. At least, I do.

[rodofle]

Man that's not funny but we really have got a problem with english accent...For real

[waterpink]

chanter na RIEN A VOIR

[LavraRonnie]

j'adore quand il rigole mdrrr

[GreyShampoo]

I absolute love his french accent when he was talking english :]

[SilentLD]

Tellier's forced laugh at the end interview is not very convincing! Love the song though.

[juliendanov]

putain il parle anglais comme moi !!:)

la classe personne ne pouvait mieu représenté la france a cette émition de daube

[LyfAdeo]

J'adore ton accent :D

[jennyjons]

coolest song in eurovision ever!

[love1love2love3]

I so agree... I want it on my ipod now!

[SlushPile]

French people sound so sexy!

[streetlampsatsix]

oh man, he has such a strong french accent when he speaks english, but when he sings, i can't even notice. amazing.

[essexboi1993]

It's wierd seeing the bearded ladies WITH NO BEARD! lmao

[paranoia1337]

the real life background choir sounds weird

[LoveBasketTom]

nice ;)

[BlackCherry96]

And the journalist said " the girl or the song" Both!! ahaha

[BlackCherry96]

J'adore but his english soooo strange i think he does on purpose his laugh and accent.. Il fait expres de prendre l'accent francais puis le rire forcé looool

[streetlampsatsix]

haha peut-être c vrai, c bizarre que quand il chante il n'a pas d'accent du tout et puis il parle et l'accent est SI FORT comme un américain who is pretending to be french. also i totally agree with you about the laugh.

[crystalnoirthe1]

no no no no I... this song is just great and that guy was coolest :)

[Procrastinophil]

A chaque fois c pareil les pays votent entre eux par region et personne vote pour la France, l'allemagne, l'espagne ou encore la grande bretagne (qui sont toujours dans les derniers)meme quand ils ont des bonnes chansons (c pas toujours le cas lol)

[Monkeyshouts]

53 ans de copinages... mais le vainqueur est toujours *parmi* les meilleurs ! (bon si c'est une victoire à l'arrachée...)

Cela faisait longtemps qu'on avait pas reçu des points d'autant de pays (13 en tout), et on est que 19è ! Y'a encore du chemin avant de trouver LA chanson...

[Procrastinophil]

Et puis si on trouve "la chanson" c'est pas pour ça qu'elle va gagner. L'europe et grande et les gouts different. Il suffit de voir les chansons qui gagnent...lol (à moins que ce soient "les moins pires"). Ca n'engage que moi.

[Kcian]

Yes our country too, I'm from malta, and for the second year in a row we weren't even placed in the final... its all a bunch of bullshit because they only vote for their neighbours and not for music!!

[skwats]

what this song about because it weird.

[fatgeller]

este tio es genial!!!:P

[merdzd]

Interestingly as quickly he has left after performance. Understanding what not выйграет this dirty bribed competition

[Norlink]

I love this song, just think it's a bit to much background singing.

[thaddeuslowe]

This contest is a fucking disgrace. Its fixed & the whole world knows it. Boycott Eurovision - I can't believe Tellier didn't win.

[Topfschnitt]

In my opinion Tellier had the best song, but Eurovision is not about singing anymore. To many small countries, and too much "brotherhood" in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.

Would be better to have one person one vote all over Europe.

[merdzd]

It completely agree. I from russia and me sik from of all These votings.

But when I have seen it I was so happy.

Also as those who saw it in live in Belgrad.

[69ruliin69]

hola!!

que tal?

pues nada!! aki...me gusto mucho la actuacion de francia... era friki como la de españa!! eskla de españa fue unica!!! jaja

bueno... pues otra vez un ganador del este!!

adios!!!  viva el chikichiki!!

[19tomislav93]

looooooooooooooooool!!!

[nunamin]

i love this song!!! :)

[gagavsgubbel]

such a great song!i love this!

[clearskies]

Okay..hands up who has had a song in a film!!

[starin34]

au début quan je lé vu ièr soir je me suis dit merde quess il fou la chabal??

[PRCR3VV]

performance completement extraordinaire de Mr Tellier hier soir. un son aussi bon ne peut pas gagner ce concours de merde qu`est l`Eurovision

[jemjerrica74]

Y'en a marre de ce concours bidon ou les votes sont politiques. Sebastien meritait une meilleure place. La chanson gagnante ne restera pas dans les mémoires. Il y avait une chanson très bien, hormis celle de Sébastien, c'était celle du Royaume Uni. Je suis consternée de voir que cette chanson est arrivée dernière. En revanche, les nullitées ont été bien placées... Au fait, c'est un concours de chant ou bien un concours de danse ? A voir les nanas sa déhancher, on peut se demander !

[SamplesKilledMusic]

GB forever.

[Aleone44]

Lui? Le meilleur??!! Il n' est même pas capable de lier 2 mots en anglais! Mis àpart ce défaut qui est caracteristique des trois quarts (si ce n' est des cinq sixièmes) de la population française, il ne sait pas chanter! Si c' était uniquement le bloc de l' est qui se donnait les points entre eux, le gagnant serait tjrs Russe ou ukrainien, or ce n' est pas le cas. Cette année, Bilan a été élu à plus de 250 voix, c plus que toutes les voix de l' est.

[teamchefDiao]

i am from austria this was the best song

but the other songs are mot good

[rkosmo]

that song was absolutely grate, and its my favourite song for all eurovisions songs. But unfortunately eurovision is political show..

[Xozny]

Too bad not a single note was pure from the background singers. :(

The song is good, the singers behind ruins it.

[lapetasse78900]

Pff

On fesait pas le poids contre la Greece Et La russia Par exemple =(

[soleross]

ah tu crois que c'est encore une histoire de talent musical si l'on a perdu? ... il va falloir combien d'années d'eurovision encore pour voir que il y a un bloc des pays de l'est qui se donne les points entre eux?

[EternalDamnation004]

LOL LA CHANSON DE LA GRECE ca puait ! un vieux remake de britney spears ! Quand a la russie le cliché type du chanteur de pop

[Kcian]

I think this song was amazing, but sfortunately people prefare disgusting and comercial music like armania, greece and so forth. It is so summery!!

[rikoshun]

This was not really for Eurosong, but in fact it could be a radio hit :)

[joicemedia]

Shame? Why? This is a really good song and Tellier looks so cool, original and talented man. I love the vocoder effect!

[coaking]

this song rules!!! greetings from belgrade!!! it should be first!!!

:-))

[asgersk]

12 points from Denmark! Yes what a song

[eribari]

THIS WAS THE ABSOLUT BEST! I don't know what to say, I just instantly fell in love with this song and singer :D Amazing!

[zxcopzxcop]

best of the best

[ReginDubovickij]

he was really the best

[Mangird4s]

The best in Eurovision 2008 !!!! Respect :)

[dluari]

Bravo Tellier.... c'est une des meilleures chansons jamais presentée à l'eurovision.

j'adore son look;

[joicemedia]

I'm spanish and I think this is the best song of this year. Eurovision sucks!!!

[princesseclairki]

De toute façon ce sont toujours les pays de l'est qui gagnent ...

[mariebal]

That's certainly the most audacious and sophisticated song of the whole palmares. It deserved a much better place, but since when Eurovision is a musical reference ?... :)

[rubenzotas]

Bonjour,

i just want to say that this song deserved a much much better position!!! I found it cool!

Best regards from Spain.

[karine1205]

La concurrence était bien rude!

La Ritournelle reste ta référence..

[resistansen]

die performance war leider mau / die backgroundsängerinnen waren irgendwie so hart / aber dieses lied.....sowas von unterschätzt beim grand prix. es ist großartig ;)

[Steijer]

this song is just above everyone watching this crappy show. sébastien is the man.

[kmjnhbx]

This song made me cry, and not in a good way.... how humanity have sunk so low is beyond me..

[Db7b5]

You should really listen to his other songs too.

Kind of a mix between Serge Gainsbourg, Frank Zappa, Air, Daft Punk and early Pink floyd.

It's a shame he did'nt win. He really deserved it.

Everyone else sucked!

[dr0ol]

you just suck

[purplevanclub]

12points from Ireland your a fucking god!

[rr061076]

eauroveision sucks!!!!!!

[kamilbusek]

Alepsoň originální...

[enviime]

OMG JESUS IS FRENCH!

[hmmkiwi]

douze points d'Allemagne!..très bon!!

[Mimi4631]

You should have won, Sébastien ! Your performance was great ! I can't believe that Russian guy beated you ! Well, nevermind ! Whor cares for the Eurovision, after all ?

[XiK82]

I vote for it! I really like it... i think its audience just doesn't watch eurovision! :)

[dandelion2000]

12 points from Germany to France!!!

[lollipoppi4u]

That song is awesome!!!! You're the winners of our German hearts!

[jono324]

This should of won so easily

it is so bluddy politically done! aaaaaaaaaaah

[LusciousLuce]

Superb. The poor scoring of this song just underlines how pointless Eurovish is these days. The French must be v pissed off this didn't do better. How the hell did Spain beat this???

[FrozenDutchman]

very nice song...

a shame that it got so few points =(

12 points from holland!

[Mcropy]

I agree :)

Didn't think I'd ever tele vote, but when I heard this song I just had to call ;)

Good song france, my personal 12 points from germany to you :)

[wargarurumon]

and russia won against this?

tellier should have taken the price out of the hands of the russian candidate

[sasaqueenidol24]

This guy is the best the others is pure shit.

[nico36100]

Qui choisi les participants français à l'Eurovision ??? c'est vraiment honteux...

[daavidb]

FRANCE MERCI!!!!! La premier chanson bonne de l'histoire de Eurovision!

First good Eurovision song ever. Kudos to the French.

[artbygrandpa]

omg! this is just hilarious

[risseau]

vraiment onte detre francais en voillen ki nous représente

[Disparate]

Apprends à écrire français d'abord, après tu pourra être plus crédible.

[risseau]

tu coné pas le langage SMS toi et déja je dit se que je veu merci le droi a la parole tu conner en france on i a droi donc laisse les gens parler en paix mici

[Kleberson59]

T'as pas honte de prôner le langage SMS ? Molière a donné sa vie, donne quelques secondes pour éliminer les impuretés de ton langage.

[risseau]

je men fou de moliere dsl de te désevoir

[Disparate]

Excuse mais parler de honte d'être français d'être représenté par Tellier en ne respectant même pas ta propre langue en écrivant en SMS, ça me fait bien marrer. Et puis renseigne-toi sur Tellier avant de dire des conneries pareilles.

[loller2007]

LOL why the hell does noone mention the fact that this song is TOTALLY RUINED now that the choir sings along. This song is so fucking nice, and the ONLY PERSON THAT SHOULD BE SINGING ON THE STAGE IS SEBASTIEN TELLIER. So freaking sad that this song gets totally changed.

This could have been a winner if it hadnt been ruined by the choir singing the sounds of a keyboard...

[sarawalker64]

Is this a joke? I can't actually believe how ridiculous this song is ha ha ha wtf!

[lefozz]

Totalement débile, il y a de vrais artistes en France et on nous propose un débile pareille mais espérons qu'il n'aie ZERO point

[Luckool]

i'm french, and i hate it ~~

[sweetgirleleni]

omogenia psifiste kalomira

[Skorbutt]

ahah quel connard c'est genial !

[jero343]

allez sebastien, tu peux le faire !

[erdancer]

peace of shit

[clearskies]

Sebastian Tellier has written soo soo many good tracks before..la rittourneille (spl?) for one..this is something he wrote in 5 mins..i love it....12 points from Ireland

[alwzcok]

La ritournelle ;)

[Volanne]

Thanks, for these 12 points, Ireland shall be forgiven for the 16 points the Munster scored yesterday against Toulouse ;-((

[Mimi4631]

Sébastien is so kind to say that the song for Sweden is funny : it's horrible, in fact ! Our song is the best ! Go, Sébastien ! We shall overcome !

[Chorus2]

The swedish singer is very ugly

[erdancer]

she's very beautiful. 12 points from lithuania for sweden

[despoinaki4]

sebastien is a great producer and musician-but go kalomoira go

[CLS2086]

Victory cost way too much in tax ! That's why we want to loose, last victory cost billions ... way too much.

[greekLAR]

vote from greece. He is an artist who just wrote this song for fun. He had written masterpieces in the past. Everybody else in the contest is crap. Especially ours (kakomoira)

[nojentil]

norlink gros con

[Norlink]

I never liked France as nation or the songs they send, but this is cool. Original and new. 10 point from me.

[sweetgirleleni]

[outonthepiers]

[blazgutman]

12 points from Slovenia;)

[LayItPlayItDown]

I really hope he's in control of the camera movements, cause it's a GREAT song, and minimalistic cool preformance.

Respect from Sweden ! ;) !

[johanjohanjohanl]

80 points from me too! (sweden) Gold to france from sweden

[Mindtide]

Twelve instant points from Sweden.

[peterschreyfogl]

Brilliant song, good looks, nice = good chances. - Mais merde, il parle en Ingles! - Well, maybe noone notices.

[Maren1105]

my favorite

[cozaki]

orhideja!!!!!!!!!

another thing is that ur country was created after so many years so u are not able to tell anything about ancient macedonia which was greek.moreover ur language is slabian not like ours so the names u gave to our regions after we were not able to finalize our country.i gave u not one but a lot of proof which cannot be busted even from historicians.

[orhideja]

And why then Alexander the Macedonian. And why the greeks called Phillip (father of Alexander) a varvarian. That is proved with the notes from Demosten. And how come that Alexander didn't speak greek, and he was born in Pella, in the ethnic teritory of Macedonia, which was ours till 1913. And for the genocid of Macedonians in Aegan Macedonia you will pay bigtime - you will burn in hell. Solun (Thessaloniki) is Macedonia.

[cozaki]

my friend if u know demostenis didnt say this in the way u mean it and that is proved from the rest words of demostenis so this myth is busted do u have another one.the reason that it was urs is because we werent able to control it after the war with turkey.so another proof is busted do u have any more because i have.1 philip the second managed to get all the greeks together so this means that he was greek.2 all these names are greek u know the alphabet we created first

[orhideja]

Filip firstly wanted to ocupy little teritory from the south (ONLY THE CITY ATHENS AND PELOPONONEZ - was Greece). And then his son wanted to united all nations from the world together and have the biggest country. He wanted to combine the culture from greece, and the manners from macedonia. Filip and Aleksandar are macedonian names. Republic of Macedonia.

[springfieldfetti]

he has a france acsent

[springfieldfetti]

good song 10 points from turkey

[jclugoholt]

France without french song, that's so bad, but the song has a great sound anyway, but surely they will be in 20, at least!

[stepbald]

Go MORENA - VIDKA - MALTA

[JosephStaline]

T'aime.

[RangeofMotion]

Vote for turkey.

[AngryAnt0]

I'm guessing the UK will give France at least 6 points this year, for being the first year to sing in English :D.

[Mark5058]

Guess again AngryAnt0, most of the songs in the contest are sung in English anyway. His enunciation is so poor (judging by this clip) than we can barely tell it is English.

[watta1992]

GL EUROPE so wath are you waiting forr at tursday pic up the phone and VOTEE VODKKAAAA!!!:):):):)

[Oskitaralvarenga]

This guy is amazing... how he said Charlotte was "funny" hahahaha.

[Mark5058]

Sebastian, the other acts didn't need time to feel good. They were good as soon as they got to Belgrade. There's at least 30 other countries in the contest with stronger singers and 40 with a stronger stage presence. Good luck anyway.

[orhideja]

Vote for Macedonia.

Macedonia gives 4 points to France. :)

[orhideja]

And your nation is Turks and Albanians. Hahaha.

You are gypsies. CIGANI. Macedonia is Macedonia. And why your country name is not related with the name Macedonia?!?! Because you are not Macedonia.

And please, with no offends. Let's be rational.

VOTE FOR MACEDONIA.

MACEDONIA

MACEDONIA.

[JanineDazed]

I love this 2xtoo :)

12 points from Serbia.

[freakindish]

VOTE FOR ARMENIA!!!!!!!!!!!!

[inspireradavstatyer]

The best song, but unfortunately he looks so bored.

[JanneH2006]

La Ritournelle would beat every other songs 6-0. This Divine is also nice, but Ritournelle is like no other. :)

[Strebonova2007]

It is so hard to hear more than 30seconds of the sing, because it is that boooring and anoying and stupid

[KINDOFPERVERT]

the BEST song and the WORST choreography

[Francijna]

Hmm.. no I can't like it =(

[kijarraa]

I like this- funny & cool!!!!

[tennisham]

I hate this song but there are much worse... I think France will get a 20th or something. It's an inovation but I just can't like it.

[BearsLoveHunny]

is he blind or something?
