A dreadful, forgettable, messy dirge badly sung. It has no melody. It's up there with Die Another Day.
The new Bond song is dreadful

Nov 02, 2008 10:43 PM GMTMan you couldn't be more right. It sucks worse than the date I had last night. -
Nov 02, 2008 11:26 PM GMTYep - saw the film last night and couldn't believe how bad it sounded over the opening credits. Dreadful.. -
Nov 02, 2008 11:33 PM GMTIt's actually grown on me. I really like it, as odd as a pairing of Alicia Keys and Jack White is. -
Nov 02, 2008 11:36 PM GMTJust heard it. The song is terrible. -
Nov 03, 2008 12:05 AM GMTi kinda liked hearing it. Havent seen in on screen though. -
Nov 03, 2008 12:07 AM GMTI wish Amy Winehouse got the Bond theme.
- groupie. -
Nov 03, 2008 12:11 AM GMTYeah...last i heard...she was supposed to be doing it or something...what happened?? -
Nov 03, 2008 12:34 AM GMTIt isn't that great at all, and is lacking a good flow. -
Nov 03, 2008 1:03 AM GMTA clip helps. It's not terrible. I liked the song from the last film better though.
I thought I heard it was originally Amy Winehouse too and not Alicia Keys. -
Nov 03, 2008 1:09 AM GMTIt's not a bad song, but it's not right for a Bond movie. It ultimately lacks something sultry and smooth that is supposed to be there... wasn't there for the song Chris Cornell sang for Casino Royale either.
But still... was the movie any good at least? I haven't seen it yet... just the YouTube clip above. -

Thanks for link... and as for the tune, I like it! -
Nov 03, 2008 4:33 AM GMTIn my opinion, at least from the clip, it doesn't sound as good as any of the competing themes for the online James Bond novel a few months back.
Maybe they should have done a competition. -
Nov 03, 2008 4:36 AM GMTYeah, I was the video at a club at it sucksl. Why, is it they can not find a British act to do theme song. -
Nov 03, 2008 5:13 AM GMTUKgunz saidYep - saw the film last night and couldn't believe how bad it sounded over the opening credits. Dreadful..
So UKgunz, don't leave us hanging... How was the film??? Daniel Craig is by far one of my favorite Bonds... I'm looking forward to seeing this film! -
Nov 03, 2008 7:21 AM GMTI think Amy Winehouse was too busy concentrating on her career as a crack whore bitch.
I've vaguely heard of Alicia Keyes but as for the male vocalist, who he? -
Nov 03, 2008 7:35 AM GMTredheadguy saidI've vaguely heard of Alicia Keyes but as for the male vocalist, who he?
It's Jack White from The White Stripes and The Raconteurs. I love his other work, but this is quite disappointing to be honest.

Nov 03, 2008 12:19 PM GMTI think it's quite good. New fresh different AND it is also the first Bond theme to be a duet, so it goes down in Bond history.
"Die Another Day' which was the last Bond theme to hit #1 opened the door to experementing with the sound of the Bond theme, incorperating those classic Bond theme elements while making them modern and edgy, which is what the themes needed. "You Know My Name" was a let down after the incredible Die Another Day, so this one, I feel, really picks the ball back up and takes it in a new direction.
I love Ms. Bassey's themes, and "From Russia With Love" is still on of my favorites, but it was SERIOUSLY time for a Bond Theme re-boot... so Thank you Madonna, and thank you White and Keys! -

Ya I heard it was supposed to be Amy Winehouse .. I didn't hear the song yet ..
But she said this james bond song / supposed song .. is gonna be in her next album .. can't wait to hear it ..
-
Nov 03, 2008 9:52 PM GMTObviously, it's no "Goldfinger." But I think it's good. It beats the hell out of the Chris Cornell theme. -
Nov 04, 2008 3:27 PM GMTIts not that bad. different for sure, but doesnt beat Die Another Day for me. -

If she lives that long. -
Nov 04, 2008 3:31 PM GMTout of your minds, this song is awesome.
but im a biased white stripes fan. -
Nov 04, 2008 4:03 PM GMTNot impressed by it. What's worse is that I was at Borders book store yesterday for a few hours and they were piping in the Bond theme songs the entire time. It was annoying as hell when your trying to read. And the latest song was the worst. But I'm still gonna stand in line to see the movie.
