Nice update, thanks for posting. "Let the Sky Fall" it is. That certainly sounds much more like an Adele song title than simply "Skyfall", so it's probably the right call. Very much looking forward to hearing this now.

How does Roger Friedman get all the inside info? Those behind Skyfall are being very protective over all aspects of the film, why would they give such details to an entertainment site which was so willing to leak that Adele was the title artist and continues to give out information that they are obviously keeping back until a certain date?

Complaining about 007 lyrics before you've heard the song is as redundant as proclaiming Craig a failure as Bond before he's shot a foot of film.

More than likely it's coming from the Adele or Sony camps. Certainly not EON, one would think.

I’d say it’s a deliberate leak (and part of a strategic series of deliberate leaks) – it’s all designed to keep this thing in the news and all across social media, every day and right up to the release next week.

Apparently One Republic Star Ryan Tedder posted on his Twitter account today, claiming to have heard the song. The tweet was later deleted but it said:

"'I've heard it. Best Bond song in my lifetime. Hands down - hats off once again to Paul Epworth and Adele. Hope they win Oscar."

Hmmm, nice.

I mean I am trying hard not to judge, but I never pictured Adele doing a bond song. I am sure it will be good, I am just saying it seems odd. I like how she is british though so at least it fits in with the bond franchise.

I'm amazed that folks can't imagine her singing a Bond theme! After hearing pretty much any of her songs with the piano, strings and horns plus her powerful voice how can one NOT imagine her singing a Bond theme!

I know. 'Set Fire to the Rain' basically is a Bond song. When I think of "contemporary artists who are the definitive image of a Bond singer," I think, "Adele."

Pretty much my thoughts as well. Since her debut album was released it seemed destined for her to be a Bond theme song artist. I can envisage 'Skyfall/Let The Sky Fall" whatever it is called will retain a contemporary edge whilst harking back to the classic Bond themes of the past.

Roger Friedman says the word "Skyfall" will be in the lyrics, although could just as easily be understood as "Sky fall". It's unlikely we'll know for certain, even when we hear it, unless the lyrics are officially released. http://www.showbiz41...the-deep-writer

Even now, it just seems there's too many people swatting around what they want to believe / they claim to see / heard / expect.

Pieces of the puzzle may be coming together but it's sill frustrating going over the same bits of information back and forth trying to make it sound official.

Come on EON, just 1 week left probably then all this fuss and nonsense can be put to bed and we can move on with other exciting build-up to 'Skyfall' other than this drip-fed speculation!

It may be frustrating but this is exactly what EON wanted, planned, implemented and executed.

http://www.examiner....ames-bond-theme

The article itself only references the Showbiz411 article, if you look at the cover there's no mention of Bond.

Posted Image

What I got from that article is that they're reporting she's on the cover - a major achievement in itself for an artist - it doesn't look like they've read inside.

I'm waiting for a report that doesn't quote or reference Showbiz411.

My point is that Rolling Stone wouldn't quote Showbiz411 if they didn't have some confirmation themselves from other sources.

They don't care about that. When it comes to Bond, I've always been under the impression that they rather report false information than report nothing at all. Still, looks a lot like Adele, but I'm only going to believe it when it's official...
