Not to be a killjoy but isn't this thread not the same thing or very similar?
http://mi6community.com/index.php?p=/discussion/6289/who-do-you-want-for-the-bond-24-title-song
You can only choose one for Bond 24.
NOT WHO YOU'D "LIKE" BUT WHO YOU PREDICT IT WILL BE.
Like the choice or not.
And back to point on the prediction, I can personally think of several others I would have liked to play a Bond theme, but I could see the stars lining up for Adele, it just seemed right, which is what this thread is for. I'm appalled at the taste of something new in this forum, you have to defend your every word on a new thread. Uggg.
@Samuel001 How about contributing to the conversation rather than quoting paragraphs you haven't clearly read and leaving condescending remarks and links to make your day feel complete. **facepalm** Mission Killjoy Complete.
Trust me, linking to another thread couldn't make my, or anyone I know, day feel complete.
And it does seem for the same kind of topic to me. About who could be chosen for a Bond theme song, even though we pick just one artist.
Anyway, I shall join in and choose...
Adele.
Mabey it wil be Shirley Bassey with No Good about Goodbye or mabey she wil be replaced by another singer but there keep the music and lyrics or no singer at all.
All this has been done before, but I'll restate my choice so that I don't get my head chopped off or called condescending: Michael Bublé.
I'd also say Michael Buble but that's because of how dramatic his Cry Me a River sounds so much like a Bond song.
Bat for Lashes is definitely a good choice! Just hear "All Your Gold"
@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 Michael Bublé
@dramaticscenesofQOS The Muse
I believe Michael has a chance, but even though I love The Muse, I don't think they would be chosen for a Bond theme. Or at least any time soon.
I see Adele mentioned twice, would they ever consider having the same artist twice?
Or wil it be:
Ed Sheeran (7 singles between 2011-2013) who's I See Fire from The Hobbit stay 21 weaks in the list at the moment, but earlier 32 weaks with his song The A-team. Lego house be his third and only other single in the list with 13 weaks.
Coldplay released totaly 26 singles in 14 years (2000-2014) and with 31 weaks Viva La Vida (Single number 25) be there biggest hit followd by Paradise (single 15, 23 weaks), Talk (single number 19, stay 20 weaks in the list) and Speed of Sound (single 17 and 17 weaks) and Clocks (single 4 and 17 weaks).
Adele. All her 10 singles (released in 4 years between 2008-2012) stay in Top 40. Rolling in the deep (5th single) with 29 weaks be Adele her biggest hit, followd by her 7th single Someone Like You (25), 6th single Set fire to the rain (23) and 3th single Make you feel my love (21) and her last and 10th single Skyfall (20). Her first single (Chasing pavements) stay 15 weaks in the list and 9th single (Turning Tables) 13 weaks.
Are you sure? DC has been keen on getting her back. With Sam Mendes returning, it sounds like they want her back. If she's not returning, it would be because it's her choice. Let's hope they tap into unused talent.
I have a question though...do singers do well after they perform a Bond song? Until DC, you could argue the Bond song "curse" perhaps but DC's era has been one of change...so we'll see.
I'm happy to have a different singer or group ... but now I think the odds are she will be offered that job.
could not do,two songs in a row?
Think about it... They always choose people in the know, who are talented and fit the bill. Also someone who will be relevant to the worlds pop culture. Meaning if Adele hadn't won those awards she may have not been the dead ringer. -- Meaning, once her record was released and the numbers were in, she was a shoe in for the award and the part. Being popular world-wide.
As an example: Check out the resent popularity of actor Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) and the rumors he may be the villain in the new Bond film. And the reason he will be chosen, is because of the same reasons of Adele (for the theme song) got the job. -- If I have to reiterate, I will. http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/apr/07/chiwetel-ejiofor-james-bond-villain-movie
So, not that it's a bad thing at all, it's the 100% smart idea (story & financially).
It would be a hit, and get a lot more attention, which grows the franchise.
As for who could possibly in the same position as Adele in the same sense, noone comes to mind, but they won't resort back to Adele just because they don't have someone better, (a better fit). They have plenty to choose.
I will say I would be very surprised if they would ever use another American pop star icon like Madonna, or..... maybe I'm wrong, Lady Gaga could do it.
And I certainly didn't see the due with Alicia Keys and Jack White.
Explaining this make me wonder what is the exact formula to a Bond theme would be. Don't get confused here, this is not "oh, I like blank or I think so-and-so would be great", no, I'm meaning the formula (or requirements) to choosing the right performer for a Bond flick. It seems to mostly coincide with pop culture, or who's popular and fits for short.
So when I read about all these long-time Bond fan favorites, I know it would be nice to see such a thing (Shirley Bassey), but let's be realistic here, you have to think like a business, because that's what this is, a profitable business. Their not supporting the fanboy favorites to serve a select group, they have to chose the overall best choice based on said factors above.
I hope I was clear, as this was my intent on this thread for predictions, not just who you like or think would be a good choice, etc. That is for another thread all together.
And with little detail on any other performer, it may come down to who's going to be hot around the time of the release date.
Kimbra, maybe. Lana Del Rey, maybe.
Adele, no, been there, it wouldn't be wise to have a repeat.
