It doesn't confirm it by far, it appears to be off the back of what the Sun started. It mentions no source, so its a case of someone going - 'Adele was in close proximity to Newman, add that to what she said to Wossy, it must be her! I'm confirming it!'
Nothing is official unless EON announce it or Adele announces it.
Interesting article though... particularly when mentioning the song title...
Well as you're the bloke who suggested Genesis a while back lets be thankful for once that EON pay no attention to what people on these forums think and look like they are going with the safe and predictable choice.
Saying 'I think I can confirm' isn't confirming squat, no matter how true the rumor may turn out to be.

But at least we are sure now it's not just rumours made up by taboids
It's still rumor territory. Unless ShowBiz411 is some reputable site, which judging from its name and its front page, it isn't, so we'll see what EON has to say. This news isn't any different from any other sites that have the so called exclusive information that Adele is doing the theme. These types of articles have been written for a year now.
Although I wouldn't be surprised if she did end up performing the theme - all these articles are trash. The most reputable is The Sun, as their exclusives sometimes get things right. But it's still saying something.
Most of these other articles are bored showbiz journalists trying to justify their existence with "confirmations" off the back of some other trashy unsourced article. It spreads around the web like wildfire and the sad fact is, the more journos pick up on it (and the more we talk about it, the higher expectations are going to be set.
I would advise all members to completely ignore any articles claiming to know the title singer until we have actual confirmation from EON, the artist themself, or Thomas Newman. Sorry if this rant sounded too harsh!
And I just prefer the rock Bond themes like LALD and YKMN. I was hoping for something like that. I don't want another GF (and Adele sings like Bassey), I want another LALD!!!!
But what 0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 is trying to say is that Filmonic is using ShowBiz411 as its source, which is a pretty unreliable source. ShowBiz411 is simply saying what we're saying on this forum but stating it as fact.
Nothing official whatsoever
Absolutely, and lets face it, some of the safest bets brought some of the best songs (Depending on musical tastes of course), what with McCartney, Duran Duran and a-ha. Though then again, lesser known singers such as Manson, Cornell and Simon have done well. What I'm trying to say is, whether its a safe bet or not, we can't dismiss the artist choice before we've heard the song.
When Chris Cornell was announced I was sceptical, when I heard the song, I was disappointed, but as it grew on me I now consider it one of the best in the series (especially compared to Another Way to Die, which is one of the worst)
I suppose, but I think Paul is better than Adele. Like I said, I think she's a bit overrated.
If she is doing it, I'll wait and hear the song before fully judging but I'm not really an Adele fan at all so I'm skeptical.
Is her surname acatessen? Mr Bond I will buy you adelicatessen made of steel-FYEO)!
Seriously though she does have a pretty face
The thing is, everyone has different tastes in music, if Adele is confirmed and she brings out a song people like, there will always be people who dislike it. Whether its rock or not. That's what these forums are for, to enable us to discuss our likes and dis-likes about all things Bond. Hell, if it was me deciding, I'd have Robbie Williams singing the theme, and I can guarantee that 90% of forum uses will be disagreeing straight away...
Yeah you're right there, everybody has different tastes.
Williams did do that song with the YOLT music didn't he? So he's sort of done a Bond theme, hahaha.
It's great how people believe anything today. Even funnier is how they'll all repost the confirmation when Adele is actually confirmed.
EON lost out on getting Winehouse, do you really think they'd let the attempt to get one of the biggest pop stars on the planet singing the title tune? It won't be a rock song because we've had that, they'll be looking to recreate that classic Barry/Bassey feel for this song mark my words this tune will be one of the safest Bond themes in a long time.
They will not be wanting the kind of reception the last 2 themes ( which I both like), barely touching the charts, this is the 50th anniversary they'll be nothing to chance here. Adele has been a sure thing since the beginning of the year, they want a chart smash and this all over the radio and TV and her name will guarantee that. Cornell was way past his prime and White was very well known but not a household name, Adele is pretty much at her Zenith, this will be the biggest hit theme in decades.
Seriously was someone suggesting Genesis?
