Shirley Bassey!
Yes, make sure we preserve the body. Cryogenics anyone?? ;)
"This bleeds into her music, and is brought out by her producer and arranger Steve Brown.
“People who cared about me and my music were having a go saying, 'You have got to be kidding,’ ” she recalls, but Brown’s orchestral sheen adds something attractively retro to her work. I suggest the pair should do a Bond theme.
“Do you know,” she says conspiratorially, “I am working on a secret project with John Barry.”
She actually refers to this project at his Memorial Concert too. I wonder what magic we may have missed.. Anyway just thought it was interesting. :-)
I want a Bond theme with a woman singing a song that has the word SKYFALL in it, or is about it. People talk about Bond traditions, how about the movie title in the theme song instead of this emotional crap?
Skyfall by Adele please.
if the Skyfall song ends up being sung by a female, what are the percentages?
If the title 'Skyfall' is in the lyrics, what are the percentages?
If the theme is sung by an artist whose gender cannot be determined, what are the percentages?
Oh, and @BondForever- welcome aboard!
Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey. Hip swiveling sweaty magic! :-bd
They could both hit that glass shattering high note at the end. (*)

Josh Homme/Them Crooked Vultures:
Incubus (just wait for ~3:16 - don't skip to it, because you lose the effect):
And, of course, my current favourites, Kasabian:
so a band with John Paul Jones is ok but not yes or rush?
Jet ... too bad they are on hiatus right now - if not for a main theme, I think an interesting alternate, or even a song for over the end credits would be cool.... song starts at 1:00 in the video..
Amy Lee.. I always did love her voice - and it's obvious she has a set of pipes on her that are powerful, and I think she could definitely deliver a quality sounding Bond theme - provided that her band stay away from it, and it's just her lol. (posted earlier)
Ozzy.. i know this will never happen - but I think it would be an interesting collaboration nonetheless... Ozzy does have a very melodic voice when doing slower songs like this, and picture an even fuller arrangement of orchestra behind him than in this song, add a bit of the Bond guitar twang to it - bliss.... it's a completely oddball, and out of left field choice - but one that i think could actually work. (posted earlier)
Coldplay.. probably a more natural choice than the one directly above this..
Sharon Jones... she is a dark horse of mine.. like Ozzy, she would probably never stand the chance to doing a Bond theme, as she is not mainstream enough - and her style is very old school doowop/motown sounding at times... but she has a soul to fer voice, that I think could shine through with a Bond theme, like Shirley Bassey and Gladys Knight.

This and my earlier sugestion of Leonard Cohen his song '''Dance Me me to the end of love' songs are from 1994, in 1994 Brosnan be anouched as Bond and i think the title of the song is a nice Title song sequel title of You Know My Name & Goldeneye: You Know The Name You Known The Number. Remade by Elton John for title song or for the end credits because it introduce the end.At the gunbarrel at the end of QOS is dificult to understand then this one. It is a 90's written song but it is also feels a bit 80's and present (CR/QOS) time and it easy can have been at under the end credits of TMND in my opnion. (Same effect as K.D Lang) . Another idea can be to change the name of song a litle bit and make it ''Known Me By Now''. Imagine Elton John sing this song. The songs fit perfect the story about Vesper, Bond and M. Past (CR/QOS) and future.
Earlier somebody at the song with the end credits of Goldeneye, but that video don't work any more.
This be the song i promes earlier in fanart thread and iam thinking about before there said Skyfall have nothing to do with Vesper, but i am thinking why not give the song as sugestion for inspyration for Bond 23/Bond 24.
The original Video clip
The lyrics
Know By Now
You ought to know by now
Baby when our hearts awoke
Think of all the rules we broke
In the name of love we hoped
Little did we know
Darling all the time we spent
Ignoring all the consequences
And hiding from big evidence
Hoping things would change
But the yearning grew like the loneliness of a castaway
To be near to you was the only thing in my heart each day
Keeping me alive till your rescue came
Honey you mean everything to me
You ought to know by now
Love means everything
You ought to know by now
Only love can bring happiness
Wishful thinking spent in vain
What to loose and what to gain
All the guilt and all the pain seemed to come away
And baby when our hearts awoke
Think of all the rules we broke
In the name of love we spoke
Little did we know
But the hope was there
like a ray of sun on a cloudy day
Any change from impossibility to the only way
Love can conquer all
And its here to stay
Honey you mean everything to me
You ought to know by now
Love means everything
You ought to know by now
Only love can bring happiness
You ought to know by now
Love means everything
You ought to know by now
Only love can bring happiness
You ought to know by now
You ought to know by now
You ought to know by now
You ought to know by now

If nor Elton John iam thinking about Simpley Red
Pray for ADELE to the Theme song !!! (Y) :-bd
keane -back in time
the fact is it be someone the public knows adele,gaga,beyonce some one famous
hated the last theme,though i liked eva almer version .if it really was a alternative song?
I would be onboard with this selection.. She has a very beautiful voice, kinda like that 60's vibe.
Trent Reznor and Karen O
I know Im the only person who would think this is a good idea but still.
Can't wait for an extended version (if they make one).
I find this song fascinating, and the trailer its in is just amazing. One of the few cases imo where its better than the original.
Dalton as Bond, Zeta-Jones as the Bond Girl, Hopkins as the Villain & Jenkins to sing the title track. :D
Without wishing to upset anyone I sincerely hope they don't choose Jenkins, Bubble or Adkins as next Bond artist, I don't feel the need to elaborate. I think though I could end up sorely disappointed but that's how I feel about it. If they can pull off anything like Cornell's quite superb YKMN in 06 that would be just fine
