It's going to be someone who's a viable seller in the U.S. - for good or for bad. I really wish they'd stick with Brits though. Yanks have had their shot the last 3 out of 4, time to give it to someone from the UK.
My vote - Robbie Williams. US alternate - bring back KD Lang
Goldfrapp would be a fine choice. Or, the great Shirley Bassey. Too bad Winehouse could not get it together- she would have been ideal and no doubt the endeavor would have been financially successful.
I liked the Chris Cornell song. Though out of the Bond stereotype, it seemed appropriate for the hard edged change of direction that CASINO ROYALE took from the series. I just hope it is not a disco deal like Madonna, for which I can't find even a counterpoint link to James Bond. DIE ANOTHER DAY will no doubt go down in history as a low point creatively in the series. Pure commercialism.
