Who will sing the Title song in Bond #26? Producers could go back to Adele again, thought there for a while Ellie Goulding was singing the title track for No Time To Die, so she could be an option. Dua Lipa is everywhere right now and would be my pick.

I hope Adele, but you're probably right with Dua Lipa- providing, of course, that she's still popular at the time the film gets made.
I still hold out hope for a Tom Jones/Shirley Bassey duet.
I hope for a energetic and upbeat song featuring Beyonce or Taylor Swift. (Like HarryCanyon I'm an optimist)
Just not another dirge, please. Give me something that rocks.
I would imagine Raye would be the natural choice. She's kind of got Bond written all over her.
He hasn't got the range.
I'm quite sure it will be someone I've never heard of.

They're gonna want to make a big statement and a big splash with Bond26. They'll spend money to get someone big for the title song, so I'm guessing Lady Gaga.
I thought she’d given up on the singing and was leaning more into acting…I’ve no idea what you kids listen to nowadays 🤷🏻♂️😉🤣
I’d prefer someone more ‘edgy’’….if Bond26 was out within 12 months (which it clearly isn’t) I’d be looking at St. Vincent or The Last Dinner Party…but then I like Another Way to Die as a theme song….so 🤭
I think they'll go where the money is, so as suggested above;
Raye
Dua Lipa
Beyonce
Taylor Swift
Lada Gaga doing a big Bond like ballad would be cool. I don't want another Billie Eilish whispery whiny downcast number. But that seems to be popular among many female vocalists currently.
I feel like Raye would be the natural fit, but it does depend on her taking off in the US which I'm not sure she has done yet.
Dua Lipa has though I believe..? So she makes a lot of sense. Taylor Swift would obviously be a boon but I'm not sure she does anything like that anymore; she's big enough on her own. I'm not sure they'll go for legacy artists like Gaga or Beyonce - with cinema struggling slightly I can believe they'll want to get the kids in as much as they can. Tom Jones had had his first hit only a few months before they picked him.
Throughout the history of Bond films, the producers will pick an artist who is popular at that point in time. Maybe there have only been a couple times where I have been like, who is that? That being said I don't think it will be someone as big as Gaga, Beyonce, or T-Swift. Or I hope not at least. I actually would like Lady Gaga, but doubt it would happen. I went with Dua Lipa because she will still be popular in a few years when Bond 26 releases and she's English
At the speed EON is going, it will be someone who's now in grade school.

Beyonce's already proven she can do a classic Bond-type themesong "he's got a Midas touch, but he touched it too much, now he's Goldmember". I like this better than the actual Bond themesong that came out the same year
🤣🤣🤣
I am a huge Lana Del Rey Fan. I feel her celebration of Midcentury Americana would fit a Martini and Spy Craze Movie. She sounds deep and melancholic and that fits perfectly to Flemings Bond. I actually heard Songs from her like American Anthem and Summertime Sadness when reading Trigger Mortis and it was blending perfectly.
They seem to like Grammy award winners and you can find the odds on favourites for the 2025 Grammy awards already.
Taylor Swift is the favourite. If you look at the list, it is disappointingly full of the usual suspects. I agree that due to her Austen Powers involvement, Beyonce is very unlikely. As Dua Lipa is British, maybe they'd go for her.
Her song for Spectre was rejected though, and I can see why.
I doubt Beyonce's involvemnt in Austin Powers 22 years ago would disqualify her from singing the title song for a Bond movie, especially since they even borrowed plot points fom Powers in SPECTRE.
Lana del Rey would be great, so would Taylor Swift I think.
Looking at this year's Grammy winners.
I think the likely contenders, in my order of preference, are;
I agree (for what it's worth). Amazon can afford them.
I feel like Raye has only increased in likelihood.
She was bloody awful caterwauling at the Oscars…not even close to Dame Shirley…
If any of those get the gig…I’d envy Beethoven 😕 Sam Smith was bad enough…
Whatever, it's very easy to say everything is bad, she's still extremely impressive and very much in the mould of the modern Bond diva, and if she's actually known in the US to be performing at the Oscars I think she's one of the more likely prospects.
The video I posted above:
Whatever. It’s bad.
Yes, you are right…it’s very easy to say that. And I did. And I stick by it. Bad.
Raye's rendition of 'Skyfall' was abyssmal.
Sir Miles, you have my sword.
If Amazon picks a James Bond actor who isn't very famous (especially in the US) they may try to hire a very famous artist to sing the title song to compensate.
Cool, I don't, let's just leave it at that. That video I posted is of someone very talented and potentially fitting the profile, we'll see who they go for.
Why thank you 🗡️😁
