[Bonding for Today]

What if Cheryl Cole did the next bond song?
...

[Zorin Industries]

Cheryl Cole would be an awful choice. The lady cannot sing anyway so I doubt she would feature high on anyone's wish lists.

[David Schofield]

Isn't it time at this messing about was finished with? There is only one choice.

Take That.

The biggest selling point? The five of them could ponce about in the video, or even the main titles, as Bond!

We know Robbie fancies himself as Sean Connery. (Two total k'heads)

Gary could do Craig-Bond. He's blond, short and stocky, and the most talented of the bunch.

Jason's got Laz's cheekbones down to a fine art.

Howie has Brosnan's Taffin-scruffbag look.

And Mark could do the soft featured wimpy-Bond, Rog.

Okay, there's no one to do Tim. But hey, they're not a bloody sextette, are they? And who the hell rememebers Tim as Bond out there in the big wide world anyway?

Go one. You know you'd buy it just for the video alone.

[Messervy]

OK, I know this is very very far-fetched, but in theory what would you think about Daft Punk?
I have just been listening to the Tron Legacy score, and I must say it is quite brilliant, mixing electronics and symphony (there's an actual orchestra playing).
Besides, we did have Moby not so long ago, who delivered a solid interpretation of the Bond theme.
So, it could prove interesting, provided of course they are restricted to some "bondian" canon (we don't want a night-clubbing theme, obviosuly!).
Just thinking out loud.

[Zorin Industries]

Daft Punk would be superb.

INTERSTELLAR 5555 is a great film of theirs.

[Virgosy]

Who should perform the title song for 'Bond 23' ? > No one, I would like the comeback of an instrumental song, such as From Russia with love or On her majesty's secret service.

[The Shark]

A Daft Punk instrumental would be fairly amazing.

[Messervy]

Very much so.
I've been re-listening to the Tron score, and some tracks really sound Bond-compatible.
Electronic + orchestra = quite a treat!

[Jack Rapace]

Like Madonna did ? Thanks, no more !

[Virgosy]

Like Madonna did ? Thanks, no more !

I agree with you.

Madonna did one of the worst James Bond's title song. Electronic music is not welcome in a James Bond movie.

[Jack Rapace]

I suggest Duffy. She had been mentioned firmly in 2007 and I think she must have her chance.

It doesn't even have to have an orchestra, It would be refreshing to hear an an entirely electronic cue, after so many years of Arnold's orchestra-synth 'hybrid' scores.

[NeverSayDie]

I think these guys sound a bit Bond-esc.
!

[The sniper was a woman]

I think these guys sound a bit Bond-esc.

Superb ! I vote for these guys !

Sounding "Bond-esque" is a rarely why artists are chosen to sing a Bond theme, and for a good reason...

..And this is probably the reason why we had Alicia Keys instead of Eva Almer...

Who? I expect they chose Alicia Keys because she's really well known and successful and has a great voice.

A great voice ? You're probably very influenced by her body...

Eva Almer, the (famous) rejected Bond song "Forever I'm yours"...She had a great voice !

No, just a stupid Shirley Bassey wannabe.

Alicia Keys has a got a unique, deep timbre to her voice, and doesn't try to gain success by retreading the past. She does her own thing very well.

[Safari Suit]

I have serious doubts that it was "rejected" too; that would imply it was seriously considered

It's probably a fact indeed ! What awful title song ! The worst with Madonna's.
Very good this singer Eva Almer. Thanks for the video, very good too !

I beg to differ! I think she has a terrible voice, unable to get a high note exactly right, just yelling in the mic. "Another way to Die" was very painful for my ears!

The song stretched her beyond her natural range, because Jack White wanted her to sing the same high pitches as he did. That's why it didn't work. I recommend listening to some other Keys songs that aren't titled 'Another Day to Die.'

I did, and notably the song about New York (forgot the actual name, sorry): I trully find her terrible. To me, she's a good example of the current trend of "singers" who believe they can actually sing just because they scream.

I don't know what she looks like. I don't follow American pop music, but I've heard an occasional single from her and she can belt a tune out. Not to my taste, but she's very good at what she does and has a great voice.

She's a decent singer, yeah. I think you'd be a bit naive to think the quality of the voice alone will get you chosen to be a Bond song singer. Fame and quality of the song might just count towards it too.

[singleentendre]

I'd actually be wary on Daft Punk, since the TRON soundtrack was a disappointment in my eyes. Maybe that's because I convinced myself it'd be the greatest thing ever.

[Stephen Spotswood]

Courtney Love.

[007Bond007]

I want Muse to sing it, their exogenesis symphonies are pure Bond, they'd definetly deliver.

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

What about Shirley Bassey again?

[quantumofsolace]

What about Shirley Bassey again?

Yes,why not? She still sounds great. Worked recently with Arnold too. She'd be a great choice.
