Spectre theme song artist to be revealed on Monday August 10th

Oe, sorry hehehehe. I'm actually not following this topic a lot :-P.

If he knows the singer you can bet it isn't Radiohead, I seriously can't imagine Thom Yorke giving that self promoting idiot the time of day.
Looks like Smith or Goulding, if it's anyone better at least I'll be pleasantly surprised. All the this left field talk is misdirection, I can't see them gambling such a big factor on a risk especially after the global smash Adele's Skyfall was.
I'm hoping the Monkeys still, RH rumour was just that and that bet was probably someone with more money than sense and just wanted to wind up the likes me.
If Eon are struggling to find the right artist, just stick this track over the opening titles!
Problem solved. ;)
Better than a-ha.
Exactly why I groaned when I read this Evans announcement. Who else but a twit like Smith would give a twit like Evans a heads up a week early. We can only hope it is more of Smiths little redirection games. My last weak hope is that EON would not allow the artist to start blabbing earlier than their announcement next week. It's EON's job to announce it. But then Smith is a twit so whatever. If it's him we'll have the miserable experience of watching him swanning around in the press, babbling about SP, and promoting himself as part of the SP team. He's just the worst possible choice. I gotta get beyond this. My huge problem with a choice like this is it makes me think EON's judgement truly sucks.
Rules: -2 +1 as usual.

With or without Jon Anderson?
lol
My biggest concern is that whereas Adele worked with a talented composer/producer in Paul Epworth, there doesn't seem to be any system in place from EON to ensure that a) the song is appropriately filmic and not just a standard pop ballad, and worse still that b) there is little or no indication that Thomas Newman is collaborating on the song.
It's actually b) that worries me most because without the film score composer involved it doesn't matter how good the title song is because as with Skyfall, it will barely feature in the score.
A Bond title song that is not incorporated into the score is almost worthless, even if the song itself is quite good. Although Adele's song was pretty decent IMO, because it wasn't incorporated in the score, it does not actually pervAde the movie. It was a criminal waste actually and one for which Mr Newman seems to bear much of the responsibility.
So frankly, I don't care too much about the artist, as long as they can actually song. I'm more interested in the song itself and whether or not it's incorporated into the score.

Me neither. If it was Justin Bieber, or One Direction etc, I'd get it. The guy is clearly not to everyone's taste, but it could be much, much worse.
A perfect example of what I'm talking about. Fairly naff artist, but decent song, and competently worked into the score by Conti.

I've had a rethink on Smith, yeah he's a kinda uninspired choice, but boy, what a voice. He has all the qualities that many of the best Bond singers have. He's grand, operatic and theatrical, plus he can really belt out a ballad. I can imagine a haunting ballad incorporating the word Spectre into a song by him. Check out his acoustic performance here, it's good:
The songs with Jon Anderson were great, but Vangelis should do an instrumental for Bond.
But it's all still just speculation, so...
