No worries, you're right. What I was getting at was "French" artists as in the language but "French-speaking" is a better translation. I'm nowhere near fluent and sometimes the most difficult thing is finding an English equivalent of a French word, if you know what I mean. As in - you know what the French word
means as such, but can't find a way of expressing it in English. For "francophone", "French-speaking" is more accurate than just "French". In fact, Mylène herself is from Quebec.
