I don't think I've liked any of the Bond songs since The World is Not Enough.

Sam Smith is a boring-ass whitebread choice to avoid controversy.

So, I agree with you, but it was never to be.

I agree with this. I loath Bond, but I've loved a lot of the themes. My vote would have been for Lana or Ellie.

Anyone is better than Lana Del Ray.

(Anonymous) 2015-09-14 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Lana Del Rey's fine.

Why?

Kind of a tangent, but: it really tickles me that his most recent single is a classic Nice Guy song.

(Anonymous) 2015-09-15 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh that "He'll never love you like I can"?

*seethes* I despise that song. And his stupid voice. Totally agreeing with the OP here!

(Anonymous) 2015-09-14 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never heard a single song from him. (I'm old?) But apparently last time a lot of people thought Adele was an odd choice for a Bond theme and that worked out pretty well.

I'm going to wait until I hear it, especially in combination with the opening titles.

Can't wait for Spectre btw!

(Anonymous) 2015-09-15 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah I can't help but WTF a little about that choice.

It doesn't seem so strange a choice to me. Why does this bother people?

[personal profile] herpymcderp 2015-09-15 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ellie Goulding doing the Bond theme is something I didn't know I wanted, and now I can't unwant it. Damn it.

(Anonymous) 2015-09-15 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
lana? ellie goulding?

lol

their voices are pretty, but they're not strong enough to be a good fit with an orchestral theme imo
all the bond theme singers have been "strong" in the past, minus madonna

I'm not a fan of sam smith, but at least his voice can carry more than a few notes

(Anonymous) 2015-09-15 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Lana is awful and awkward and in no way good enough for a bond theme. Ellie and her tiny baby whisper voice can fuck right off. Shirley Bassey had a bond theme and was amazing. There are few modern voices who can hold their own on a bond number because the stupid pop scene loves those whispery baby voices. I'd love to see Josh Homme try one. He'd be amazing.

(Anonymous) 2015-09-15 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh yeah I heard Lana perform live. It was a train wreck and frankly, it was embarrassing to listen to it. Just imagine her trying to perform it at, say, the Oscars with full orchestra...

(Anonymous) 2015-09-15 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh, they really picked him? I honestly thought Lana was a sure thing.

(Anonymous) 2015-09-15 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
I'll give you Shirley Bassey just because that's classic, but the rest of your suggestions are no better than Sam Smith.

(Anonymous) 2015-09-15 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I usually prefer male voices, but I think Bond songs should be sung by women. I'll make an exception for the glory that is THUNDERBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL, but other than that, just get women to sing Bond songs. :/
