Amy Winehouse has been invited to write and perform the Title track to the latest Bond Movie "Quantam of Solace" 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.Quote:

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

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.
your a bitter bitter man lionel...the music industry is full of people preforming glorified kareoke...and maybe duffy is no better...but...she does have a good voice...unlike..rachel stevens, lisa scott lee, danni minogue, javine, half of the sugababes(:D), britney,i mean surely you should save your spite fior these instead of throwing duffy in with amy whorehouse!!!:confused:Quote:

Oh ...AND Amy Winehouse!Quote:

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.

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!!!!Quote:

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:Quote:

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:)Quote:
