Not a true Bond fan? Bit of a leap, he's entitled to his opinions about music.
I didnt mean it like that. sure he will be a fan, but i dont even like adele, and i think the theme sounds great. I respect you opinion, it just seems like you dont like classy themes. it remineds me of the sean connery era.
Verrrrrrry goood! Closes ive seen!
Let's all take a deep breath...Friday 5th 00.07 is not far away ;)
How long until it lands at the top?
01) Shirley Bassey with 'Diamonds Are Forever'
02) Shirley Bassey with 'Moonraker'
03) A-Ha with 'The Living Daylights'
04) *NEW* Adele with 'SkyFall' (with a grain of salt, as I haven't heard the full version yet)
05) KD Lang with 'Surrender'
06) Carly Simon with 'Nobody Does It Better' (Oscar nomination)
07) Duran Duran with 'A View To A Kill' (Last Number 1 Hit, Grammy nomination)
08) Paul McCartney & Wings with 'Live And Let Die' (Oscar nomination)
09) Nancy Sinatra with 'You Only Live Twice
10) Tina Turner with 'GoldenEye
Narrowly missing out my TOP 10: Louis Armstrong with 'We Have All The Time In The World', Shirley Bassey with 'Goldfinger' and Sheena Easton with 'For Your Eyes Only' (Oscar nomination).
NOT even in my TOP 15: Sheryl Crow with 'Tomorrow Never Dies', Garbage with 'The World Is Not Enough', Madonna with 'Die Another Day', Chris Cornell with 'You Know My Name' (main titles version), Jack White & Alicia Keys with 'Another Way To Die'.
Guys? I will adore 'SkyFall', simply because I really believe the music, both score and song, have been taken way more serious. The music department was the last branch of the Bond film that had to be revived completely ever since 'Casino Royale' went into pre-production.
It's definately a safe choice but could be a really good safe choice! Looking forward to friday!
Hmm. Dare I say that the film (due in part to the song) is now gaining the popularilty that we have seen for months?
Caro Emerald? You have a link to his/her music?
I think she has a fantastic voice, and to have her perform a Bond song works for me.
Hopefully this is another plus for Skyfall.
Ask and ye shall receive...
That would have made my day.
Yeah, it would have made your day while dozens of others would be complaining...
It's impossible to please everyone.
That's my point. I could be here all day listing singers/bands I prefer to Adele but I won't do that since I know that choosing Adele was a genius move even if she isn't my favourite singer in the world.
Ohhhh her, yeah she would have been a good contender for sure
With songs such as Goldfinger, FYEO, YOLT, AVTAK and YKMN, you know what it is within 2 seconds. The start of this Skyfall clip was very flat, but maybe the full version will prove me wrong.
But I am positive towards this song, it is very much growing on me, and, as I said before, her voice sounds amazing.
I feel the same way. I wonder if the sample is actually at the beginning of the song. I actually presumed it was somewhere in the middle of the song when I first heard it. I love Adele's voice so I hope when we hear the whole song it will be better. It certainly doesn't sound bad but it doesn't sound like anything wonderful either.
yes, this hasn't given much away. if there's a catchy riff or memorable hummable line it's not in this snippet.
It's just the beginning. The song starts with a piano solo, followed by the first chorus:
"This is the end, Hold your breath and count to ten, Feel the Earth move and then, Hear my heart burst, again.”*[/quote]
The bolded part can be heard in this snippet. I suspect the second chorus to be a bit more powerfull, and then the third one to blow the song out of the water.

It's missing some warmth like Diamonds or Goldfinger etc.
Musically I like the song and the voice of Adele, but not the production.
