BUT she can't perform live. I believe a few pages prior to this one I make that clear. She'd do a terrible theme.
Adele.
She's a terrible fake singer, I'm afraid! It would be terrible! I would go for Paloma Faith, though I wouldn't mind Garbage coming back (their latest single just been released and is amazing). If Adele gets to do it I won't mind either, she's got some voice.
@Sandy Paloma Faith would be excellent! I don't know why more people haven't mentioned her! Her voice is perfect for Bond.
-Foreigner
-The Rolling Stones
-Van Halen
-Rush
-Styx
Besides, they have contributed to film soundtracks before...
Paloma Faith has a very good voice, I saw her at David Arnold's Care International Concert over a year ago where she also sung, she is a real character and has great presents! But... she is nowhere near big enough for the Bond stage at this moment in time, BB/Eon & Sony will only go with the biggest star that suits them and more so the film! Not to mention Sam Mendes and Thomas Newman will have a big hand in it all too, which leads us nicely back to the only real contender.... Adele!!
Its a done deal, and she along with Newman will pretty much have it the bag by now!!
:-B
Now were talking! Enough with these current singers, lets give the reigns to the classic groups. Rush or Styx imo would be spectacular.
If that happened, I would promise to never be a debbie downer towards the Craig era again. That's how much I want Caro Emerald to sing a Bond title track. [-O<
I brought this one back because I am shocked no one mentioned Sheena Easton was prominently featured in the FYEO opening credits.
My 14 year old (this week) daughter thinks it's going to be Adele. I will have to listen to some of the singers suggested as I'm not familiar with some of them, but if they want a female rock voice I'd suggest Lzzy Hale of Halestorm. IMO, best female singer out there for that genre, a powerful voice with tons of range.
I'm in love with her voice, so getting to hear her sing a Bond title track in on my wishlist. :)
EDIT.
That's Caro Emerald, not Adele.
Adele.
That's a no brainer. Great post, couldn't agree more with having Bassey for the big anniversary. I'd be happy even if they let her do the end credits. No singer has done more for the franchise, or is more deserving.
Maybe the producers were thinking more about download sales than they were about what was right for the movie?
Anywayz, I still think Adele is a step in the right direction.
The problem I have with what EON does musically is standalone songs written by someone other than the film's composer. The GoldenEye theme song was great but isn't used by Serra and it's inclusion in cues would have vastly improved this aspect of the film. The Sheryl Crow song was mediocre but Arnold used his pure Bondian Surrender to create his best overall work to date. DAD was thankfully not used that I can remember and Arnold used a little bit of AWTD in the boat chase but nothing else.
I am a firm believer that the film's composer should also be the composer of the title song. It gives the film a sense of identity. Giving the recording artist creative control past singing the song usually doesn't end well as we have seen. I'll definitely check this piece out later to see if Arnold used it in QOS.
My choices would be:
-Richard Hawley - this man is an absolute genius, he would do a cracking job.
-Alex Turner - this man is also an absolute genius, his soundtrack for Submarine was beautiful and he has shown his talent for writing big tunes recently such as R U Mine? Don't Sit Down, Library Pictures, Electricity, Evil Twin, You and I and so on.
-Arctic Monkeys - Alex Turner's band would be incredible, for the same reason as Turner - talent for songwriting and coming up with big tunes.
-The High Flying Birds/Noel Gallagher - Two words, Freaky Teeth.
-Paul Weller - Purely for my love of him.
And hundreds more that aren't Adele or Paloma Faith.
EDIT: Also, I would love Paul Cornell to return, preferably with Arnold, even though he's not scoring Skyfall, he could still contribute. There was no need to get rid of him, he is an incredibly talented man, fu**ing Sam Mendes. I know he's talented but I just have that feeling he's going to ruin bond :/
Miss Welch has a GORGEOUS voice. Perfectly suited for a Bond theme. Pretty much every song on her album 'Ceremonials' would work as a Bond theme. Either her or Adele.
I'm sorry but I find this laughable. There are everything but class. IMO if I must say it.
