perhaps you should stop posting, unless you have something worth contributing to the topic at hand.

As opposed to you, who only seems to be capable of "contributing" a constant stream of abuse?

And here I was, led to believe that Canadians were known as a nation for being nice people ...

and in response to your Godzilla epic fail comment that was premature, you seem to remind of this song .

You may have escaped the moderators with your skin intact once. That doesn't give you a licence to abuse other members at will.

as opposed to yet again completely ignoring the topic at hand. let it go buddy, just let it go. try yoga or something.
i'm Polish Canadian so I guess that Canadian trait hasn't rubbed off on me. Yes Canadians are normally nice but when their being continually picked on they stand up for themselves. Have you never seen a hockey game before? When the gloves come off? you may escape the moderators by simply annoying and picking on me in an attempt get me to over reacted again with hopes that i'll be banned, but i'd think they would see you the same as i do. a poor sport. i hope that one didn't cross the line and i hope that wasn't to hard on you, i've been really trying to water them down. at least i'm willing to admit when i'm wrong.

i just found this song called "skyfall" by the band "neve" (1999-2001)

i don't know much about copyright laws but could that confirm, that the SF theme song will have a different name?

Nope. That will not prove a problem. Songs have the same titles all the time. A clash of rights is not about that and SKY and FALL are hardly trademark phrases.

in fact if anything, it only confirms that she wont be performing the SF theme song
just look at these lists of grammy winners in the past 50 years. if adele was chosen, she would be the first in the history of franchise to win a grammy and perform a bond theme song in the same year. then again there is a first for everything but i bet the producers are too cheap. anyone who has won a grammy and performed a bond theme song has only done so years after their win.

Nope again. Forget any lists about anything. You do realise that when music and film execs finally stamp who would be doing a Bond song for SKYFALL (everyone is assuming it will need a vocalist - it may not) I don't think they have the awards statistics of every major music award by their side when they make their decision.

And there ain't much cheap about the Bond producers.

i never said they do. good luck finding that quote, mate. Sean Connery would really disagree with you on that last comment but not the older Connery who i though i heard lives in some type of tax exile, i think in the Bahamas.

We're nice, until you piss us off. Just look what we did to the Germans at Vimy Ridge.

I would be amazed if the producers don't even make exploratory steps to ask Adele to do the theme. Similarly, I would be surprised if Adele turned down the opportunity if asked. So, for my money, I'd make her favourite.

I've always been wondering why on earth people have deified Adelle, when there's a much better singer among us, Florence Welsch. I'm more surprised that people from the Island have put their money on Adelle rather than Florence if you take into account the name she has created up there.

For what it's worth, I'm sure Florence is at a very similar level in the producers' thoughts. Adele or Florence have been top of my predicted shortlist for a while. I jjust think that Adele's six Grammies will make her slightly more sought-after for the theme at this stage.

Yeah, I'd be happy with Florence; she'd be a good choice.

I'd be happy with both as well. I think they're both really good. I would suspect that Adele would do a more classical Bond theme, and that Florence would try something more new.

[TheREAL008]

The Rolling Stones. I'm not kidding either. 2012 also marks their 50th anneversary along with Bond's on film. It'd be perfect symmetry.

[Captain Tightpants]

I'm sorry, what? The Stones - who haven't really been consistently good since the 1970s - should get the SKYFALL theme because, like Bond films, they too are celebrating their 50th Anniversary?

Sorry, but that's a horrible idea.

[Dustin]

Consistently surely is relative here, some would give a lot if Bond had performed similar quality and substance in each of his outings.

But that's not the point, the Stones wouldn't have to be consistently good, one fine song is all they'd have to deliver. I for one would take most of Voodoo Lounge over anything since GE (except You Know My Name). And still quite a lot of Bridges to Babylon, too.

But chances are they will be occupied with their own celebrations. After all they've only recast one fourth recently, and that in 1975. They have every right to take it easy these days.

[Captain Tightpants]

But that's not the point, the Stones wouldn't have to be consistently good, one fine song is all they'd have to deliver.

I can understand that, but my issue is more to do with approaching the Stones to perform the theme on the basis that they have been together for fifty years - when they have had nothing to do with Bond films until now - rather than because they're actually the best choice for the title theme. It would be a bit like asking Sean Connery to direct SKYFALL because Bond is celebrating fifty years in film, and Connery was the first Bond. Sure, it's a nice case of the planets lining up, but the decision would have been made on something other than Connery's skill as a director.

So if The Rolling Stones were to perform the SKYFALL theme, then they should perform it because they can produce the best song for the film, rather than because they have been together for fifty years.

[Dustin]

No, just to tap into their own anniversary would be somewhat cheap (not that this ever prevented the money men from anything)

But I'd be in fact surprised if the Stones hadn't been on the radar at least at some point during those fifty years. Or if Jagger & Richards (or Charlie Watts even?) never ever considered to become involved with Bond. That would be a blind spot on both Eon's and the Stones' part, something seldom seen in the industry nowadays.
How serious such considerations may have been is everybody's guess. I can only repeat that I'd prefer the Stones over many other acts. Even today when they must be considered R&R's dinosaurs.

[SecretAgentFan]

Adele definitely is the commercially safest choice right now. And I´m sure she could deliver a classic feeling to the song.

I wouldn´t mind Pink doing it instead, however...

[BourneAgainBond]

Sean Connery directing puts this idea in my head. That he would keep cutting when Craig says, "Bond, James Bond." Connery; No, no, no, its, "Bond, James Bond." (using his accent) Crossing my fingers here that translates into funny.

I think the closest The Stones would ever come to a Bond film would be if they cast Keith Richards as the ultimate villain, because, "Keith cannot be killed by conventional weapons." -Wayne's World 2

I always liked that Pink song, "Who Knew"

[Royal Dalton]

But I'd be in fact surprised if the Stones hadn't been on the radar at least at some point during those fifty years.

They were, for GoldenEye.

[TheREAL008]

I wasn't just naming the Stones purely because they're also celebrating their 50th. It's neither a realivant or safe bet to have them perform the title song anyhow. Maybe it's just me but I think they could write up a good theme for Skyfall. Regardless of past success or failure.

You mean like um............ Lulu??? Yeah... THAT was a banner idea. Or a-ha, perhaps? They were a HUGE success. Great call there.

If Adele were to sign on to do this now, she'll be a trivia question within a year.

[Red Barchetta]

I quite agree. After giving this some thought, and roaming through all sorts of different artists, Adele is my choice to do the title song.

Don´t be so snobby.

First: Pink is not like Lulu. Pink is an established singer/songwriter, very successful and definitely no one-hit wonder. And she has that sort of energy and irreverence that fits with Bond. A kind of female Chris Cornell.

And about a-ha... well, they really were successful with TLD. And they still are a beloved group - even if they have retired now.

[BourneAgainBond]

Pink would be great because
she doesn't represent the stereotypical portrayal of woman who've performed bond theme songs, the woman in the films themselves and portrayal of woman in general.

LA told me, "You'll be a pop star, all you have to change is everything you are."
Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears

Wait, you want to approach an artist not on the basis of their talent, but on the basis of their public image? I admit, Pink has done more for the music industry with one song than the likes of Katy Perry will do in their entire career, but that's not exactly difficult - and it's not nearly enough to justify a Bond theme.

How about we stop with these ridiculous - and borderline trollish - suggestions, and actually try and pick someone based on their talent and their ability to produce a good song before we consider any other factors?

[BourneAgainBond]

i never said that she was my number one pick. i was just saying why it wouldn't bother me if she was picked. if it was up to you who'd you like to see perform the song?

[Captain Tightpants]

Hey guys, I, like, totally think we could get that guy Neil Parick Harris to perform the Bond theme, right? Because, like, he's blond, and Daniel Craig is blond, like, also. And he plays, like, this character who is always wearing suits, and, like, James Bond wears suits. And, like, Harris is this, like character who is a womaniser, just like, like, James Bond. And like, best of all, in one, like, episode of that show, one character was all like "Good luck killing James Bond!" to this other, like, character, so, like, there's totally a connection between Harris and Bond and so he should, like, totally get to do the theme.

An example of this was a while ago,
Mad man lost his damn mind in Monte Carlo,
Le Chiffre was a slimy creep, nothing less,
