Seriously I'm all for Dame Shirley doing another Theme, and think Amy Winwhouse would of been terrific her voice is amazing.

Re: Amy Winehouse and her "adventures".......when Keith Richards says when asked to comment "That bitch is out of control" you know you have a problem. It's a shame, IMO she'd be perfect to do a Bond theme.
I think Adele could do a good track. But it all depends on the slant of the movie - do they need a ballad belter, or a more modern track.
I loved the last two Bond themes, Another Way To Die especially - and I think there are lots of fresh new talent out there to produce a decent track, without having repeat performances from singers who have already sung one.
She's worth whatever chaos she brings to the table and you know it. ~ Mark Anthony
Am I the only one that doesn't rate her as a singer? I just don't see it ... what's so good about her voice?
I saw Amy Winehouse live in concert in a tiny venue early in 2007 before her life spiralled so fantastically out of control. Her voice was amazing. One of the best live performances I have ever seen by anyone and she seemed to be a certain to be one of the greatest R&B/soul singers of her generation. Her talent was immense, especially when you consider that she wrote almost all of her own stuff as well. She did snap at someone in the crowd, and Blakie was lurking behind the curtains on the edge of the stage in his shiny tracksuit, but it was a phenomenal show. Sadly, I don't think she's ever come close to reproducing that talent since then and I have my doubts that she ever will.
She was a unique talent...great voice, could write songs, offbeat, but the demons of addiction and self destruction may have taken a permanent toll.....and that husband of hers, what a piece of barely human excrement he is.

Adele is touted as the new Amy W and has a great voice....
I still illusions that savage garden wil get back together and do a bonf theme...
Nice enough tune....but if they ever dig up Sid James, Kenneth Williams et al....well....we have our new "Carry On..." film )
Can I roll my eyes now ?
Thank you 8-)
I'd still love Goldfrapp to be given the gig, but I fear the chance has long passed them now....
I'm another one in the Adele camp then....I didn't really care much for what I heard from her debut album "19"...but what I've heard from "21" is sensational....
I'm another one who'd like to see Goldfrapp handle the title tune. . .also, I like Duffy's bluesy style. Of course, I also thought Alicia Keyes was a great choice, but look what we got. . .

I guess tosca isn't for everyone.... 8-)
Adele has a real chance I understand...
As for goldfrapp u know they were in the running before ( the joke at the beginning of one of their gigs I rcall) but they are definitely as washed up and carry onnas savage garden !!!

Agree on ms keys, but I think the result may have been the extreme tight deadline Black was given to come up with a tune - the story I heard (who knows what actually happened) was they stuck with Amy W for as long as they dared, but had no back up horse and Black was given no time to polish the song.
Also, Arnold may be notorious for being last minute with his scores, leaving Black in the dark regarding what he was trying to match his title song to....

Yeah, but I don't mind Tosca )
Really ? They should be...some of their stuff is incredible...not over keen on their last album though....so...what was the gag that cost them ?
I think Lady Gaga could have the potential to do something really old school but modern Bond
which would be great, but then again it'd prob sound just like a cheap karaoke remix of the old themes...
much like her other songs perhaps?! ooh controversial!

Not at all, I think GaGa could do a great job of giving a 'Post-modern' Diva/ Torch song approach. Lota of Barry homage it could be just what the Dr Ordered

Joss Stone. Got the right kind of powerful voice. I loved her title song for Blood Stone.
I'm an old fart so Dame Shirley will always be a scentimental favorite, but I've just heard Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" and I'm impressed! Understand she's a Brit to boot! -{

My lovely wife has just suggested John Barrowman, but dressed as Shirley Bassey !!, got to be worth a shout !?
"Mm... Royal Beluga, north of the Caspian."

Or as homage to John Barry. A great instrumental track by David Arnold ( think OHMSS, Barrys' finest )

I agree, but: first she has to go to rehab, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Am I the only one that doesn't rate her as a singer? I just don't see it ... what's so good about her voice?
I like her, could work for me.
