I move that CBn puts an informal ban on threads dealing with rumors of title song performers. These pointless things come up all the time and we all know a title performer isn't announced until the summer before the film even comes out in the fall.
The script hasn't even been finalized, the first frame of film is still months from being shot and people actually believe the production team is concerned about who will perform the title song? It's a prime gig performers would flock to for sure, so it's not like they need to build interest, but any beforehand speculation is just rumors and PR hype that leads to nothing.
At least speculation on actors and actresses makes sense at this point.
Well, Adele was already in place in September before production began on Skyfall. She let slip that she was about to do the demo on the Jonathan Ross Show. Back then, the script hadn't even been finalised, the first frame of film was still months from being shot etc. etc...
I did think twice before starting this thread. But there was no general thread concerning title track rumours or rumours in general. I thought it was of interest so went ahead and posted. Perhaps a mode might want to turn this into a general song gossip thread, that way all the bits and bobs can go in here. People who want to avoid until later in the film's production can easily ignore a single thread without a number cluttering up the forum.
EDIT: Here is a link from September 3rd 2011, where Adele drops a massive hint that she was about to start work on the Bond song. So an artist being in negotiations in August seems to not be too incredible.
