[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 313916, member: 8"] The Final Bond Song [ATTACH type="full"]34848[/ATTACH] Let's start with some good news: no more tomfoolery and pseudo-exclusiveness, the vocal theme is on the album as it should be. Billie Eilish, like Sammy Jo Smith, has a very distinctive voice (or singing technique) and it's just not for everyone although I seem to be the minority. She's the youngest Bond songstress so far but if I didn't know that I could just as easily believe that she was the oldest artist to perform a Bond theme, something like old Rose from the TITANIC on her deathbed. I can hear more "song" in it than in [I]Writing's On The Wall[/I] but despite the extensive and collaborative efforts to create a perfect new Bond song I still don't think it's become a great marriage. Brother and sister, young people, and they've always wanted to make a Bond song (according to wiki)....it's such a lovely idea that I almost feel bad for criticizing any of it. And I could say, well it's a Re-Bond song and people like this style these days blablabla but that still doesn't explain why Adele, also not one of my favourite singers, got it absolutely right. And that's also a completely new song. [I]No Time To Die[/I] gets a happy ending - perhaps someone laced her tea with Red Bull - but then it's over! It's not as [I]bad[/I] as I thought it was (re-evaluation accomplished) but it's not a CRACKER, like, yeah! let's listen to [I]No Time To Die[/I] again! I don't...really have that desire. [/QUOTE]
