Well, I think this rumour will become true, because Michael Wislon already said in a radio interview, that he is in negotiations with Sophie Ellis Bextor............and............Elton John. I hope the last one will become the Bond20 titlesong performer

Now now... Calm down boys... :-D

Easy way to solve the argument... Bond 20 should be an instrumental :-)

As if some German TV channel is going to get it right. Pah. The only truth we will hear will be from those happy chappies at EMI or EON later this year (around August time).

Propellerheads should assist Arnold on either an action cue (a la Backeat Driver), or be coupled with an existing artist.
I love the idea of Elton John, Shirley Bassey or Tom Jones ( though someone was complaining about Bassey nearly fainting with that last note on Goldfinger, Jones actually DID pass out when holding the final note on TB).

Sophie Ellis Bextor would be a reasonable choice for Bond 20, I wouldn't complain, but what cretin said that Bextor 'is not an established voice like Bassey is'. BOLLOCKS. At the time of recording, Bassey was a relative unkown. So that opinion goes :)-over-tit. I wouldn't mind Robbie Williams either, after hearing that self-indulgent album, Swing (Your Nads) When You're Winning.

Jamiroquai...hmm...a bit too dodgy a choice, all their bloody songs sound the same, so Arnold and Black would be hard pressed to make a song that could please both Jammy fans and Bond fans.

Another point to debunk :). The BeeGees were already used for a Bond theme (well, sorta). Marvin Hamlisch explains emulating a BeeGees style as a basis for his retro Bond theme update, Bond '77 for TSWLM.

I'm ignoring any news about the title song until I hear some OFFICIAL confirmation. ;)

That's my two penneth. Good day to you all.

When an artist is officially announced, I'll make a comment. Until then it's all yadda-yadda-yadda.
