Amy Winehouse to Write/Perform Bond title track

[Block G Raptor]

Amy Winehouse has been invited to write and perform the Title track to the latest Bond Movie "Quantam of Solace" (http://music.guardian.co.uk/news/inthenews/0,,2254016,00.html) due for release in November but only on the proviso that she stay clean in the meantime. I think she's a natural choice as her voice/style always reminds me of Shirley Bassey. What do people think, will she stay clean long enough? will she be any use? does her Image fit with 007 Brand? Discuss

stay claen..she'll be lucky to be alive i think...back on the drugs from what i read today.

They'll dump her before it happens and get the equally annoying Duffy to sing something ...probably written and produced by the even more annoying Ronson creature.

Equally annoying Duffy? What has she done to upset you so much?

Anyway:

A View to a Pill
Brown Finger
Dr. Blow
You Only Ate Twice
From Rehab With Love

[stann]

For Your Nose Only
The Weed Is Not Enough
Thunder(speed)ball
Never Say Never At Any Time Apparently
The Wan With The Golden Arm (hold on a minute... :confused: :D )
You Only Exist In A State Of Living Death Twice

Just because they got Bernard Butler and Johnny Marr to play on the record doesn't stop it being 'Stars In Their Eyes' without having to pay the royalties.

Bernard Butler did a little more than just playing on the record. As well as playing various instruments he co-wrote, produced, arranged and engineered about half the tracks on the album. I have yet to listen to the album, so I'm holding judgement, suffice to say I like what I've heard so far. Stars in their eyes? Maybe, but meh...

When her warmed up corpse appears on every media outlet for a solid two years (on a non-story), and every second lazy comedian uses her for the butt of lame jokes, then, yes, she will be equally as annoying.

...at last -someone on foot.ie who gets me. :D

I completely agree. I would like to hear her sing something beyond pastiche mind.


unlike..rachel stevens, lisa scott lee, danni minogue, javine, half of the sugababes, britney,i mean surely you should save your spite fior these instead of throwing duffy in with amy whorehouse!!!: I see your point but no-one claims the minogues, the stevens' or the sugababes of this world do anything other than exactly what it says on the tin. perfunctory pop. Musical chewing gum.

Duffy on the other hand is presented as something of a talented maverick when she is, on my appraisal at least, every bit as much a puppet on a string -One who's being marketed at an audience who's scarcely listened to CD collections also include such titles as Buena Vista Social Club and Eva Cassidy.:cool:

Oi! You just named the six albums I own.

[Pauro 76]

I think it could be an excellent choice. It cant be any worse than Madonna's 'Die Another Day' monstrosity way back when. I was similarly surprised when Garbage got that gig for 'The World Is Not Enough' . That song was surprisingly pretty good. I'll reserve judgement till I hear it.

Does that album feature 'Iris', 'Iris (album version), 'Iris (exclusive remix)?

[McShels]

Does that album feature 'Iris', 'Iris (album version), 'Iris (exclusive remix)?

Also the following versions of Iris; the techno dub mix, acoustic mix, the 12" megamix, the film version, the liver version and the EXCLUSIVE never before released demo!!!!

The liver version? What's an organ of the body got to do with it? ;)

[Bluebeard]

Live and Let die - best bond song ever.

While I almost agree with you, I humbly submit two alternative candidates. If you follow my meaning (and I'm not entirely certain I do) Goldfinger is the best Bond track ever, while Nobody Does It Better is the best ever track for a Bond.

Any of the three would have to be considered the pinnacles.

[Lionel Ritchie]

Are we to acknowledge nothing of the work of Pal Waktaar and A-Ha on 'The Living Daylights?

:D

I've no problem with those songs, or with the A-Ha one, I like all of them. Just think live and let die is the business. Plus always always reminds me of Jane Seymour. Damn. :cool:

Is there an exact measure of sales or popularity that an artist much achieve before you dislike them, LR?

If they're not eating cold beans out of the back of a van on tour he doesn't want to know about them :D:)

It would come in useful as another way to describe sales figures. Gone platinum, gone gold, gone silver, gone bronze, gone on LR's hatelist.

[Lionel Ritchie]

No Measure of sales or popularity is counted or taken into consideration by me I assure you. Two of my very favourite bands -Metallica and Pink Floyd -have sold 100 million and 200 million records respectively.
That both of them did it largely without being rammed down our throats via the mainstream media might have something to do with it mind.
