I know people who sound like that who aren't gay. I also know people who sound like Jason Statham who are gay. If your reference point is people in the media you will tend to find they're of a more theatrical disposition, hence the more theatrical or affected voice. A particularly camp actor is the equivalent of a Danny Dyer. Both projecting a heightened demeanour.
If you don't have anything nice to say, get lost, Scaramanga.
It's an appreciation thread, can't you read or are you simply stupid (it wouldn't be the first time you prove it)?
While you're at it, go ahead and disregard that ban placed on your profile.
Oh, you can't? Shame.
Ahhh I was waiting for that. Sweet sweet victory. :))
Homer says it best.
I Believe that You are one of the most annoying pieces of excrement that has ever washed up on this forum
Furthermore I Wish that you would float off back to the shallow end of the gene pool where you clearly belong.
Bugger I've just read backward to see that he's been banned Thankyou Creasy much obliged .
I did have a feeling that for him " The writings on the Wall" :D
And on his profile page (by me).
And it won a Golden Globe!
Furthermore the people have decided that it is one of the best Bond themes ever if you measure it by success. Only A View To A Kill and Skyfall were that popular.
It was mainly the social media that gave it a bad rap. In the real world that song is quite loved otherwise it wouldn't have sold a ton of copies.
Oh my God a Golden Globe as well? I didn't know that. What you say must be right then.
:)) =))
Wait, when has it won a grammy? Are you sure? i don't remember that. Sam Smith is a grammy winning artist but not for that song as far as i know
Not yet, by next year at that time he will have won it too.
The deadline for entries for a Grammy is September 30th. So WOTW will enter the nominations for the 2017 Award Show.
Quite simply the instrumental, for me it's as good as it gets for a Bond film.
Sam Smith was 'ok' for me at the start but he grew on me.
But i never had such troubles with his falsetto like many others. I think he did a good job overall
thanks for clearing that up. Would be awesome if it wins that too.
Pretty much what 00Agent said.
The melody itself is beautiful. The piano at the beginning, starting in a melanconic way and them becoming even sadder when Smith says "I've spent a life time running".
As 00Agent said, I'm not very fond of the falsetto, but it doesn't really bother me too much, and when he sings in his normal voice, he actually has a beautiful voice. Too bad every other song of his sucks, because WOTW is really good (in my opinion, of course).
The lyrics are wonderful.
"I've been here before, but always hit the floor." Bond's already experienced love, but it never ended well, and this scares him because he thinks he'll never manage to find love again, even though he may have found someone who makes him feel happy ("but with you I'm feeling something that makes me want to stay").
Yet Bond doesn't want to take any risk ("I never shoot to miss"), and he knows things won't end well ("but I feel like a storm is coming") even though now he might feel happy ("if I'm gonna make it through the day").
"If I risk it all, could you break my fall?" I especially love this verse. You can really feel the singer's fears, his inner pain; his life pretty much doesn't mean anything to him anymore, he's just falling down. However, there is hope for him, but he has to risk it, and if he does, will he be saved?
"A milion shards of glass, that haunt me from my past." As said before, Bond is haunted by his past, which causes his inner pain, and the reason he can't find happyness.
That must be my mistake, I thought he won a grammy but he won the golden globe. But he probably will win the grammy anyways.

He is 17 years old i believe. (And Yes, the left jury member is one of Jeroen Krabbe his sons.)
And I think ordinarely if you'd ask who'd I either listen to Sam Smith or Adele, I'd probably choose Adele. But Skyfall theme wasn't as good as Writings on the Wall. Hauntingly beautifull, I'd say.
The choreography of the scene was brilliant,and the idea of Bond actually looking scared and trying to get away (even throwing a lettuce at Hinx in desperation) was inspired.
