Bond Snubs British Favourites
Bond producers have sensationally snubbed British acts in favour of American duo Alicia Keys and Jack White to record the theme for the forthcoming James Bond film, Quantum of the Solace. 
Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Leona Lewis and Duffy had previously been in the frame to record the signature tune but have been passed over by the film's producers.
Jack White and Alicia Keys will record Another Day to Die, the first duet in the history of James Bond theme tunes.
Jack White is best known as the frontman of rock bands The White Stripes and The Raconteurs whilst Keys has received international acclaim for her sultry brand of R&B. Some commentators however have expressed misgivings at the pairing suggesting that British artists would be more appropriate to record the theme given the content of the film.
Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli who produced the film said: "We are delighted and pleased to have two such exciting artists as Jack and Alicia."
What do you think about the choice for this year's Bond theme? Are the producers right to opt for US acts or should they stick with the best of British?
As usual, the studios have gone for the safe option, and I predict that the Jack White and Alicia Keys song will be as mediocre and forgetable as any of the awful mid 80s Bond themes.
Oh, and anyone who is against an Amy song based on her drug habits, do remember that Paul McCartney was fond of the odd puff now and then, and he recorded the best Bond theme ever!
Plus they have just gone back into the studio with new vocalist Toby Jepson (ex Little Angels) so they are in the right place to produce a classic....
Previous themes have come from Nancy Sinatra (USA), Carly Simon (USA), A-ha (Norway), Gladys Knight (USA), Tina Turner (USA), Sheryl Crow (USA), Garbage (Ok the singers a Brit but the other 3 were USA), Madonna (USA). So what's the problem?
Plus Duffy, Amy Winehouse and Leona Lewis are still relatively unastablished (Duffy has 1 album, Winehouse 2, Leona Lewis 1) hardly as established as Jack White with 8 albums.
Oh and this has been done before! Pathetic attempt at 'new' thats for sure.
amy winehouse why would you even concider the skanky cow
