  Surely can't be as bad as watching DAD from beginning to end? Now that's torture.

  Actually listening to Adele would be worse, far worse in fact! I'd so much rather watch Die Another Day!

  I do not think that a link to a wiki site that says that Adele will sing the next theme says so much. Still it's just a rumour!

  I like Adele's voice and I would like to see her perform the Bond theme. I found the below link for anyone who's interested. It's some photos of the singers who've performed Bond theme songs in the past accompanied by a brief description of the background history.

  I will laugh if it doesn't turn out to be her. She could be performing a single song for any movie. I hope it'll be Bond though.

  Would love to have Adele do the theme. She's perfect.

  You're right, you were wrong. :P That's not an official page.

  Just watched some of a concert of hers on the box - she really does have a pair of lungs on her, so to speak.
  
  If it were a quality, bombastic tune, then I'd certainly not be against her landing the gig. Indeed, it could work out very well...

  We know that Adele has a new song coming out at the end of the year and in her interview with Jonathon Ross she said that she was going to do a theme, she quickly denied it was Bond. I have been thinking about what other movies or TV shows she could be singing the theme for, if its not Skyfall and the closest one that I can think of is the next Twilight film. Her moody love songs would fit the theme of the film (well I have never seen a Twilight film - but I hear they are all about vampire love and sadness) so maybe Twilight is the film? All of the teenage girls would love an Adele song to cry about the vampires to. I hope im wrong.

  Just listening to her from the radio, and my opinion remains ; she should do it, and she probably will.
  
  She sounds and looks a bit like some of the song birds from the 60's.

  After seeing Sir Tom do Thunderball at the Baftas, he'd definitely get my vote for a comeback!

  I want Adele to sing it. I just want it confirmed soon. And the title of the theme song, please. But I love Tom Jones and he can still really sing, too!
  Adele doing the theme song ...
  Paul McCartney doing the first part of the end credits ...
  and Tom Jones belting out something special for the 2nd part of the end credits
  
  So for the 50th anniversary film: a Brit, A Brit (and Liverpool lad), and a Welshman. That would be great!

  Why is it that when you say something like that, it's not her lungs I think about? ;)
  
  Oh, and @forgot , I know it's stated a bit confusing, but when you read my post again you'll see it's you I agree with, I was merely underlining your argument.

  It means that once a final decision is made, it will be announced. It's used on magazine sites all the time when they're about to announce news so it just sounds like she's mimicking that practice.

  I still think Adele will do it and the announcement will come during the Summer.
