Apparently Daniel Craig wants Ed Sheeran as the singer for Bond 25.


Thoughts?

Perfect capstone for his series of Bond flicks.

Because he and the artist both suck?

reply

I have absolutely no idea who this is. Daniel Craig also apparently wanted to bring in Phoebe Waller-Bridge for her "trademark feminist humour" so I don't exactly trust Daniel Craig's judgment.

In my opinion, its a good thing you dont know who he is.

That's absolutely terrible and doesn't resemble Bond music at all.

Didn't stop them from using shitty songs in Die Another Day, Skyfall and Spectre.

reply

With so many great title songs in the Bond series, it's absolutely inexplicable that Adele and Sam Smith are the only ones to have won the original song Oscar for a Bond film.

Skyfall, the song, is probably even more overrated than the actual movie is.

It's true that a lot of questionable choices have been made regarding the music in the post-2000s films.

I saw Spectre in the cinema and I had forgotten every aspect of the theme song after about 15 seconds. Mind blowing it got an Oscar.

The composition is actually okay, but the choice of Sam Smith for vocals was terrible, and it was a sad and pathetic attempt for Barbara Broccoli and Eon Productions to pretend that they are still relevant and a huge part of pop culture. If you search YouTube for a cover of this song by the Bond cover band "Q the music show" you can see a pretty good version of it with female vocals, and it's quite nice. It's much better with a real woman singing it rather than femboy Sam Smith. The lyrics could definitely be improved though. "I wanna feel love" in a Bond film makes me puke.

reply

It's an improvement for sure. I still don't think the base song is any good though. It just doesn't flow for me.

reply

Total shit, I can't stand him, but even he can improve upon the crap that was Writing's on the Wall by Sam Smith, the worst 007 song yet.

reply

Daniel Craig just wants to feel love, guyz.

reply

The last decent Bond theme songs were during Timothy Dalton's tenure. Since then, they've all been shitty pastiches - every single one of them...

reply

Chris Cornell's jam was rad.

reply


Ed Sheeran is really dull and bland, not suitable at all for a Bond song. Bring back Adele.

reply

Speaking of dull and bland, I'm not sure anyone can top Adele.

reply

Bond films seem to always go after popular singers at that time in history, so this is no surprise. Could be worse

reply

Ed Sheeran is 100% the correct choice for the type of singer who should be singing the theme song for a Daniel Craig "James Bond" film...
