Here's my thoughts on who would be good to sing the title song:

-Michael Jackson
-Sting
-Aerosmith
-U2

[M_Balje]

My suggestion:

All of the Jamesbond movie's title singers together,who live's.

Matt Munro (From Russia with love)
Shirley Bassey
(Goldfinger,Diamonds are forever,Moonraker)
Tom Jones (Thunderball)
Nancy Sinatra (You only Live Twice)
Louis Armstrong (On her majesty's secret service)
Paul Mc Cartney and Wings (Live and let die)
Lulu (The man with the golden gun)
Carly Simon (The spy who loved me)
Sheena Easton (For your eyes only)
Rita Collidge (Octopussy)
Duran Duran (A view to a kill)
A-ha (The living daylights)
Glady's Knight (Licence to kill)
Tina Turner (Goldeneye)
Sheryl Crow (Tomorrow never dies)
Garbage (The world is not enough)

I dunno about Micheal Jackson or WHitney Houston. They're too............ teeny boppy??? lol They might as well get Britney to do it!!! (Just Kidding!!)

I've heard one of Jamoriurqoauri's (how the hell do you spell that???!!!) songs, but not enough to hear what his singing style is.

But I'm not fussed who sings the title song, as long as David Arnold is doing the composing.

[Blue Eyes]

Hi guys!! Well done for discussing this, it's great to see you all taking a big interest in Bond 20!!

I love the suggestion of Bassey and Jones! Bond has never really had a duet and those two doing it together would be brillliant, after all, in a way they are the pioneers of Bond themes!

But guys, what about this, you completely forgot:- Whitney Houston! No joke, but their probably considering her.

[mrmoon]

I've said this before somewhere else, Jamiroquai, should do the next theme it would be perfect. If you don't believe me listen to there stuff if you can't the new stuff is out in september.

[Jim]

OK, so:
The conventional choice would be someone like Dido. The not entirely inexplicable choice could be (shudder not) Cher (I kid you not; perennial rumour). The Rolling Stones would be fun.

Is it true, or is it a lie, that Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me was initially offered to EON who rejected it?

[Blue Eyes]

Well get me the name of a good and relevant song by Jamiroquai and I'll see if I can napster it

I never new that the Prop-heads were vocalless. But there you go you learn something new everyday.

Personally I wish that Frank Sinatra had done won, but well, that can't happen now. But I'd still love to see My Way in the end credits

[Jacques Nexus]

How about Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones together belting out a big and brassy number ?.

[rubixcub]

Well, it should definitely be a singer with class. I was pleased with the earlier rumor of Tom Jones returning to do the next theme. Don't know who I'd like to see doing it. I had at one point suggested Charles Aznavour, but he's getting up there. Pity that Queen never did one.

If I can think of any sultry-voiced women who I think could do it, I'll let you know.

I think if they ever do Casino Royale, they oughta just do an instrumental theme for that one.

[Jacques Nexus]

Nexus here. Most Bond themes in recent decades haven't worked with the public because the producers use current hit singers who produce their own songs. Mainstream music producers don't understand Bond songs. It has to be big and brassy like Goldfinger, otherwise it sounds like any other song. The Propellerheads are a good idea. They understand Bond music like Arnold does. I reckon Arnold's "Surrender" from TND is the best Bond-like song in decades. That's the proof of the pudding.

[Kristatos]

I would like to hear again a man or agroup.
Before TWINE i was happy, to hear about a Group, but finally you only noticed the Girl in this rubish Video of "Westworld".
For that i would like to have Tom Jones again or ...really ... Robbie Williams.
From the Past i liked very much, Duran Duran`s Song.
It was a good Idea to make a new Way.

[Blue Eyes]

I'll see if I can get anywhere with these songs on Napster

[mrmoon]

One Track I forgot to mention is called 'BULLET' see if u can get it. Its 4:19 and the beggining reminds me of bond so much.

[Blue Eyes]

Don't the Propellorheads sing in their songs? I've never honestly heard one.

[Mr Trump]

My choices for a Bond soundtrack are:

1. Robbie Williams
2. Bon Jovi
3. Stereophonics
4. U2
5. Manic Street Preachers

[Icephoenix]

I think U2 would do an excellent job!!!!
And Tom jones, returning would be cool!

[Blue Eyes]

Robbie Williams is still my choice He's had quite a few more hits since I last talked in this fourms. Last Friday night on TV they showed parts of him concert from Cardiff. And while I could only catch some of it, he's a fantastic performer! I think EON would be stupid to pass him by, a Robbie song would almost definetley be a hit right now in the market place.

[Evil Doctor Cheese]

Robbie is my choice.

He doesn't seem too popular with you guys but we haven't had a male solo singer doing the song since Thunderball which is inexplicable. The female songstresses of late haven't been up to scratch (although Tomorrow Never Dies is one of my favourite Bond songs). I'd like to hear a Bond song from the point of view of Bond... which would be good for a 40th anniversary film. And Robbie would be the man to do it.

My second choice is Jamiroqui (which I can't spell either) but I don't think they'll be chosen... Robbie will please all generations in England and break him in America and (of course) get the Bond film producers that ultimate goal... a Bond theme that actually goes to number one thus getting them huge publicity for the film. The Tom Jones/Shirley Bassey duet would never get anywhere near the top ten...sadly this is probably how they think.

Am I sounding a little synical?

[mrmoon]

I know David arnold wants a fast tune for Bond 20 So I suggest you download 'Travelling Without Moving'. Make sure you get the Album version. Theres usually some live versions hanging around but u need the album version really. Other songs you may like are 'High Times', 'Use The Force', 'Soul Education' or a more funky slower song called 'Virtual Insanity'.

[mrmoon]

Not a suggestion for the theme unless its gonna be purely instrumental but I would love to hear the Propellerheads on the movies score as they were in TND.

The Propellerheads consist of Alex Gifford on Synthesisers and Will Whyte on Drums thats it. They are an electronica band and so any vocals are samples or they get a singer in. If any one can check out some of Jamiroquais material I'm serious they would do a superb tune and there really keen.

[Blue Eyes]

Actually I woulnd't mind Britney - she ain't all bad. Plus we know she'd sell atleast which would be a good thing!
