Not a great song, but while I haven't heard her albums, she's only done three songs surely, Chasing Pavements, Hometown, that Dylan one she didn't write and Someone Like You, all good but no guarantee she can write on commission. That faster one Rolling in the Deep I don't like much.
Often EoN pick singers who are jumping the shark or who go on to better things; Alicia Keys Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart or New York being a case in point.
The only artist that fits your "jump the shark" scenario is possibly Chris Cornell who was hardly a household name before YKMN. I never thought it was Eon's intention to choose a performer other than a huge name, regardless of whether they were leftfield or one-off chart-toppers. I think Cornell was more the exception than the rule.
I have over 36 Adele songs on my iPod...25 of which are originally written all by Adele. Not sure what you mean by "she's only done three songs surely". Out of her 2 albums, there's only 1 on each not written by her. And she has a lot more songs written by her that were never included in her albums.
If it's like OMHSS then yes, love it.
It is on the CD single release, as the second track.
You know, that techno-y tune?
Anyways, the beat of the song was okay, but the lyrics of the chorus were horrible. "We will stand tall"? Is there any more cliched rhyme than that?
I'm not an Adele fan, but this song was better than a lot of her other stuff.
That's sad, because the subject was rich enough to have some great texts.
I was under the same rock as you, trying to discover the song during a brilliant TS, but what I discovered was very dull. They should have made her sing the Tennyson Poem on the music. It would have been less ridiculous.
"You can have my number but you will never get my heart" ? Come on, it's plain silly. Lulu did not said anything as bad in TMWTGG ^^
And the award for the most melodramatic post of the year goes to....?
"Just like the Moonraker goes, in search of his dream of gold"
That's hardly Shakespeare material. Bond-songs never had the most intriguing and sensible lyrics ;)
You kidding no???
One question for you Sammie001. You think 'Skyfall' is the 'biggest hit' since 'A View To A Kill', even slightly outperforming that song?
Well both got to number two in the UK, so I'd say at least the biggest hit since then, if not - chart wise - ever.
NO, I am not:

I can't reminder that the previous Bond songs 'You Know My Name' and 'Another Way To Die' inspired so many people.
Really? You're in the cinema, bond returns after 4 years, a thrilling PTS ending with a floating JB cue Adele, superb title sequence promising an emotional ride with Adele belting it our from her inner soul and you're not grabbed. Really, honestly you're not moved at all? ;)) =))
I heard the song twice at work yesterday. It seems the radio stations producers wanted to promote Skyfall, as opposed to the still-born emo-feast that is Twilight.
I have listened to it more, and like it a little more. I get goosebumps, but her vocals for "SKYFALL" at the end of the sets of lyrics is too shrill. I was expecting her to belt it all out like Shirley. The song never reaches the peak I wish it did.
