Adele to perform Skyfall title track

I say:


TOM... JOOOOOOOOOOONES!

hmmmm, personally I'd prefer it to be someone who hasn't performed a Bond song before

the Craig "template" has been defined as being something modern

I still like the idea of Goldfrapp or The Killers or Muse
or how about Franz Ferdinand?

Jazz singer Cassandra Wilson would be an inspired choice. Too inspired, no doubt.

As Adele is on Columbia in the States she'd be well placed.

This should be the choice though:




Nearly 30 years on and still fresh as a daisy. No not you, Oppers.

Robbie Williams
Nina Persson (Song written by David Arnold). She sings a song written by David Arnold for tv series Theme From Randall & Hopkirk (2000). Also known from The Carpenters.
De Phazz (Germany) Lissen/Watch The Mambo Craze. Dr no style videoclip. Lissen to: My Society / Astrud Astronette.
Leonard Cohen. Lissen to: My Secret Life.
Sharleen Spiteri (Song written by David Arnold) Solo. Also know from Texas. Lissen to: All The Times I Cried, Stop, I Don't Love You Anymore, I'll See It Through (Texas)
Lady Linn. (and her Magnificent Seven) Lissen to: I Don't Wanna Dance, Love affair
Tripoli. (Belgium) Lissen to; Ain't you heard / Bye Bye.
The Blackboxrevelation. (Belgium) Lissen to: I think i like you / Never Alone, Always together
Mary J. Blige
Aretha Franklin. (If Needed song written by Bono and the edge.)

reconsider:

Shirley Bassey (If Needed Song written by David Arnold)
Bjork (Song written by David Arnold)

thanks for the specifics Balje, I'll seek some of these out
always on the lookout for a potentially bondish song to listen to

but it might be too late for Robbie, he seems to have lost his mojo these days
and I think Bjork could write her own song without any interferance from David Arnold

U2 or RUSH

Chris Rea, Eric Clapton, Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, Adelel etc...

I could see Radiohead doing it.

Jonny Greenwood should do the score.

Muse, Goldfrapp, Depeche Mode, Emiliana Torrini.

Quite, for me it's all become a little saggy and creaky. :shock:

You've no idea how it pains me to hear you say this.

Why is that exactly? :D

Khan and I remember you in full flow.

I really think Joss Stone should sing the Bond theme for Bond 23. I was rather impressed with her "I'll Take It All" and then, after falling in love with Keira Knightley's Chanel Ad, and hearing Stone's rendition of It's a Man's World, I think she should lend her voice.

Cee Lo Green or Adele.

Ultravox.

They've got a new album due out September. It's sounding good.

If was composer, and I had to tell the producers and execs who I want to work with, it'd be:

Morissey
Adele
Nick Cave
Karen O
Amanda Palmer
Eric Clapton
Steve Winwood
Janelle Monáe

Liking the idea of Adele doing it ... wasn't overly fussy on her initial material, but anything I've heard from her new album has impressed me.

I'm thinking I would like to see the three remaining members of Led Zeppelin perform the new song. Maybe Plant could make one last effort to hit those high notes again while Page and Jones could pump out power chords and booming bass. This would get Zep back together for one last big splash before they ascend to rock n roll hall of fame Legends heaven. ===otherwise, the next Shirley Bassey or Lulu would be fine.

Goddammit Mr. Tiffanywint. The last time I listened to TMWTGG, I nearly lost my earols. I like my earols. I like hearing through them.

Amy Winehouse

They just need to get her off that pipe, first. At least for a week or so.

Damn straight. Awesome Bond song intro right here:



At Last I Am Bourne? Alternate CR or QOS song? ;)

Definitely the only man to turn to if you give a s*** about Bond actually being British. Nobody can put across Britishness better than Moz. He'd rock the f*** out of a Bond theme, but I'd never in a million years see Babs & MGW going with him over someone safe and box-ticking like Adele or some big Sony artist.
