Jus-in-Iceland, many established artists and super-stars like Abba and Celion Dion took part in Eurovision and there are, and will be others.

Remixed or not, that's not the problem. I've watched some live performances of "Divine" in Youtube, and his voice it extremely weak! It's hardly noticeable, really. I don't know how he will manage to perform in Belgrade, he's not good at singing live.

have to say i like it better than the original, it is less flat, with more add-ons!

I'm not very keen of remixes, but this is actually somewhat better than the original version, even if it's not that different.

A lot punchier and less flat with all these added decorations to the arrangement, I like it. Would love to hear a proper extended club mix.

It's a good version. I think Sebastien is awesome and will help bring established artists to the competition.

I like the remix a lot too, but I hate the esctoday.com voice that comes in, now I can't download it :( maybe that's the point.

I actually am really starting to like the remix, I am not a fan of the original, but the remix is cool!!!! :) :D :L

I actually prefer the original but this is still a great wee remix. I still think this will be easily the most underrated song when the contest comes around.

Not bad,but I think it will finish last in this year's final!!!

I love both versions of the song, but this one is best. I guess he'll perform the original one in Belgrade though, pity.

The original is MUCH better, i n my opinion. I really hope he will get a good result in Belgrade, and I can't wait to see him live i Oslo on Friday!

Tellier is now in fashion in Paris, you can see him in commercials, in Printemps Department store's showcases. I think he doesn't care to win. All he targets is a possible market. For some singers eurovision is just another way to make themselves known but they don't care about the contest and they don't care to win.

I can't help it, but I like it !!! I am only waiting for a real version singing in French !!

France is one of my fav countries to win this year! I love this song and it could bring a whole different character to the contest! Ok it either want Paris 2009 Lisbon 2009 Reykjavic 2009 Sofia 2009 or Sallonika 2009!! ;)

Both versions are nice and with no chance for high place in ESC. But the first version sounds kinky - it is right choice in this situation :)

I actually prefer this version. He could win he he used this version. In the 90s or early 21st Century he'd do better with this.
I will be voting for France anyway. The Big 4 need to start exchanging points.

I actually think this is a bit weaker than the original. Nice version, but in my opinion Sebastien chose the right one for the ESC.


Jonny K [46883]

This is sooooo much better than the original, he should use this version at eurovision.

Good luck to France from the UK! :D

With a bit of re-arranging and toning down, Sebastien could perform the song like this in Belgrade and be a serious contender to win in my opinion.

I actually think this version is a bit better!
