Welcome to MB, Crossark ! Your musical curiosity has lead you into an interesting situation, and I´ll certainly be checking out Béatrice Martin if you recommend her so highly. In the meantime, here is some Francophone pop from an unlikely source, a Belgian nun:-

^ She was a bit of a one-hit wonder, and in fact gave up recording completely - round about the time that she commited suicide.

Spoiler for a song they slowed-down for kareoke purposes:

And lastly, no linguistic input here, but I can´t resist posting again what is probably my fave music clip ever. Third time I´ve posted this on MB, so if you don´t hear from me again it means I´ve been permabanned for spamming:-
