I wish were that was true. Come on man, she's fat, overweight or chubby whatever you want to call it. But the girl can sing. And she fits (just) into the American shape. A person's shape shouldn't stop her from being the right choice for a Bond song. Would you have Shirley not sing or Armstrong not sing because of their colour?
Age don't really matter does it when one hears a good tune, once the hook is there its there!!
I don't see Adele as anthing other than a voice who can project that given voice well, and in the Bond style & the right composition do us a great number!!!? What she talks like and looks like does not matter, and as "forgotmyusername" has said Fits(?) in over the pond in the grand old USA!!?
If she is to be involved and I believe she will, it will be more about the choice of composer who will write the song, will it be herself with Thomas Newman or others!?? I just hope that the song has what is familiar to us all and have that true Bond sound...Barry/Black style!!? >:D<
By the way I'm late 30'S..!!! 8-X
lol - just like you can't accept praise on Brosnan !! ;) Seems like you have a contract or even a moral obligation to bash Brosnan whenever someone says something good about him.
Adele is no more of a phenomenon than Dido was and as I've pointed out where is she now? Please don't think she is hear to last because I just don't see it.
She does have a good voice granted but she is nothing more than a modern day Dusty Springfield and a second rate one at that. I wouldn't go as far as Baltimore 007 has gone but we've seen them come and go and people always get themselves in a lather thinking so and so are going to be around for ages but as someone pointed out over exposure will kill her popularity off pretty quick and her 1st album only sold well later on off the back of the huge success of the 2nd.
She also recently said that her next album would not be dark or depressing it would be cheerful, well love if their is anyway to create a flop then release an album when you are happy you'll soon see the fans head for the exit, nothing like a content artist to produce a dud album.
I give her another 4 years tops and the fickle public will have latched onto something new.
Nonsense, I accept people liking him, but if I see a topic on something I find distasteful, I will certainly reply. Bt let's not tarnish this topic any further ;)
Exactly, if you had asked me about 6 months ago, I would have said she was the perfect choice. Now the overexposure is killing my enthusiasm for her for Bond. I heard her song on the radio yesterday and I couldn't even get through it. Come October of this year, it could seem evern more of a tired choice.
I don't really HATE ppl, that was just an expression, mate. lol
And Adele is a real artist, Yes. i Can handle ur opinion, i can accept it. i just don't agree with it.
And yes, she's overplayed a lot. But i never got sick of it. How many times do you hear her songs at the radio, in a day? like, 50 times or even more?
Me? Zero!
\m/
.....turn the radio on then!!? %-(
Probably because you're too busy throwing darts at a picture of Pierce Brosnan :p
lol, i meant when you turn the radio on, how many times the radios play her song.
I understood you the first time, and my answer remains! ZERO!
I listen to Classic Rock and Metal. Classical or Jazz the odd day, no pop or elevator music. And believe me, Adele isn't heard on Metal & Rock stations ;)
I agree 100% with both of these posts
And to be fair shes just had 5mts+ off with a throat infection, so shes probably got a lot to say!?? I think she has remained mute on the subject of Bond and what she said on the "Jonathan Ross " show, regarding doing a theme song etc!!?
My moneys still on her and Thomas Newman producing a thunderous track for us all to "SkyFall" too!!!?? 8->
I like rock too. i got some songs from AC DC, Kiss, many others.
I can't really think of any other current, HOT bands...
Now if we were to get a great older band, then I'd love to see Bush or Depeche Mode
The good Major has it nailed. Caro Emerald is definitely the thinking 007's outright favourite.
If we can't get her then I'd go for either Palamo Faith or Michael Kiwanuka - both are fabulous.
As for Adele, she certainly has the pipes for the job but for my ear- and in the case of Faith and Emarald my eye - I prefer the aforementioned.
Lets hope we have a great song for them to sing.
I have a feeling "Skyfall" is going to be the best Bond movie since FRWL. Mendes is brilliant and Craig is a great actor. I predict Oscars for this one.

Bentley

I don't mind if Adele ends up doing it (as long as it's a good song). But I'd loooove if Paloma Faith got it! She's perfect for Bond.
I really doubt it, not because Skyfall won't be good, but because the Oscars have proven over these past few years that they are out of touch. I don't care about the Oscars. If it's good enough then it could stand a chance of winning a BAFTA though.
And btw, FRWL was topped a year later by GF, which was topped by TLD and LTK ;)
Now that would be great! I'll add some other names:
- La Roux
- Feist
- Lykke Li
- Florence and The Machine
- Kaiser Chiefs
That would be awesome. Florence wouldn't be bad either, I would say Oasis if they were still together.
Yes, please ;;)
You have very good taste =D>
It is going to be Adele, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about who we would like to do it. And I think Adele is a good singer but I think her music is overrated and I'm sick of it being played over and over on almost every radio channel.
I want a Bond theme, and I think that Adele could deliver that and more!
