vocal talents of Mr Smith. All join together to make a very memorable theme
song.
Exactly. I trashed Craig plenty too over his self destructive wrist slashing, I'll only do another one for money comments. Very situational in here over who we are allowed to call out for saying dumb stuff or acting dumb.
But with Sam Smith he is constantly telling in every interview how thankful he was for the Gig, and how special it is for him and how greatful he is to BB. He just forgot to repeat it again at the oscars. He won an oscar for crying out loud... he was visibly nervous and probably didn't know what the hell was going on (being a newcomer musician in front of an audience of some of the biggest hollywood stars in movie history, think about it). He is only 23, can you imagine winning grammys and oscars at 23 with only one album out?! he might have broken a record now that i think of it...
Give this kid a break, he will be kissing BB's And Wilsons feet for the rest of his life for this.
Says the man constantly haranguing EON. I wish you were as proactive about thanking them in polite conversation.
I-Robot.
I just don't recall the last time you showed any emotion. It's all so robotically thought out.
Ok, I'll try to show a little more passion from now on. Let me watch a Bond film and you'll see it come out, hopefully.
sorry, my schoolboy humour, given what the discussion was about.
It was said in fun, nothing personal meant.
There's an emotional side to me, I promise. I didn't realize I was coming across as Spock.
It's called reason pal. Trumps arguments from emotion.

Trust me, I'm glad you've not got my back. Stay away. Thanks.
And for those who think and feel it's a therapists worst nightmare.
Reading out a list of names of all those who said I'd never make it etc. :D
In the mean time let's push the "Atmosphere" button to lighten up.
For the musical version of Spectre, Mr White sings it. ;)
These horrified vapors exhibited about, gasp, criticism of this over praised, over awarded, kid is rather strange. I recall some major performers like Paul Newman who never received a competitive Oscar till the end of his life, and Peter Finch who never got a competitive one, along with tons of other truly great talents who have contributed extraordinary work to this world, and to sit here and read the gushing over a 23 year old kid who has produced exactly one record where he plagiarized Tom Petty for his Grammies, and then watch his Oscar win for a 20 minute effort that was seriously reworked by Newman and Mendes is mind boggling.
Someone posted that he thanked BB etc., yeah sure in some meaningless totally unseen interviews, but up there on that stage in front of world wide millions, were it counted, he, unlike other vastly more talented and genuinely worthy Oscar winners that night was to precious to thank the people who put him up there. And I won't retread his false, self serving "I'm the first etc. etc" boast which has been roundly trashed on social media, often by gays. I usually judge people on their character, not their race, or their sexuality. If I do, I save the praise for those that have really paid harsh dues, and experienced real hardship from real bias, not some spoiled kid who did not deserve such a huge gig and award and then even worse, was graceless and lazy with his facts when he won it. Fire away!!!!
All nominees were asked to provide a "Thank You" list that would scroll at the bottom of the screen upon a win. I thought this was a great idea by the producers. I am sure (though there is no video to support this) that he did indeed have Barbara, Michael, and Sam on this list, up front. While some winners then ignored the purpose of that list and went ahead and thanked people again upon winning the award, the implication was that the Academy wanted something else to be said other than "Thank Yous." So who are we to assume Smith wasn't doing anything other than honoring the Academy's request to NOT go up there thanking people?
Give it a rest, it becomes pitiful and hilarious at the same time now.
And Gaga will get her Best Song Oscar... for her Bond song when the time comes.
I was surprised by how much I really liked WOTW as I don't really like Sam Smith's singing style at all - it's just very X Factor fake emotion all the way. But he did a good job on this - except the chorus. Many YouTubers who are amateur singers can sing that chorus better than he does.
