Maybe a long shot, but could the title song debut at the Grammys during Eilish’s performance?
I *think* eye-leash
but could be wrong
Eye-lish
Nowt wrong with Eilish.
I get what you're saying about the brand thing, this might turn out to be a QoS type of choice, who knows
We'll see what will happen tho
I would like to say that I called this on 25 December.....there were a few snarky people that said I was gonna be wrong. But I did say it was likely after CJF started following her on Instagram.
Just saying.
As someone who has followed this thread for the last five miserable years, waking up every morning to soul-deadening posts like "Is there any news today?" and "Does anyone think there will be news today?" or "Will David Dencik appear in Matera?" or similar, your name has always been a reason to click on the thread.
It has been noted and appreciated :)
Charmed by her (and family) in this... especially ukulele Beatles and her own original tune:
The same thing could have been said about Nancy Sinatra when comparing her to Shirley Bassey, or Sheena Easton after Carly Simon. But both contributed memorable songs that have either been sampled by other famous musicians or Oscar nominated.
So it's Billie E. At the moment, eh? Ugh, at least I'll be starting with massively low expectations, so it's only uphill, right?
Fair enough. I’m just saying that having the best performing album of 2019, with a Metacritic rating of 82 (out of 100), is the direct antithesis of BondAficionado’s sentiment. Would Eilish even be an issue if she was older than 18? Lana Del Rey seems to be an understandably popular candidate on these forums for a Bond theme. Eilish has been compared to Del Rey, and holds her up as an influence.
I can't get rid of the feeling that the MI6-story is just based on your discovery.
To me, the closest "OST song" sound from Eilish is :
Very nice
Exactly, we don't have any source for confirmation yet. Just speculations.
We just asked why you claimed her to be the favourite. Don’t be bitter.
Which I wouldn't mind either ... just give us confirmation soon. That would be oh so nice.
I wouldn’t be too hasty…..I’ve spoken to at least two people inside the loop on this and they have said that Billie Eilish is doing the song. I think the news is starting to leak out now.
I’d be rather chuffed as it shows my detective skills haven’t gone rusty.
Personally, I think Eilish has a terrific voice and style. It’s very haunting and avant garde. I do think her style and way of dressing is a little ‘young’ – though, you won’t be able to see that in the film. I suspect this was a CJF choice. Which is refreshing as Mendes swayed towards big theatrical ballads by young British artists singing about heartbreak……………………this seems very different.
Also, Eilish appeals to younger people, who may not have cared about Bond. However, how many of them will buy a ticket? I doubt many. Just look at the Charlie’s Angels reboot. That had the millennial triple-punch of Arianna Grande, Lana Del Rey and Millie Cyrus. It didn’t help the box office.
For those reasons, I am dubious as Eilish doesn’t seem a very ’on brand’ for the franchise on a surface level. However musically speaking, she’s perfect.
