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?

i have no doubt, a lot of proper delibrate thought goes in to the ingredients for a bond movie.
let then pick who they want.
There are lots of good up and comming bands etc.
What they should do is STOP making James bond films! They are all the same! The only thing that changes is the fu***** actor! James bond sucks! The only reason this movie is called QUANTUM OF SOLACE is to fit the ''007'' in title. Is this the best britain has to offer?...Oh, I forgot, Harry potter. LOL!
An avid Bond fan.
I'm James the peg, didle didle liddle dum,
With m y extra leg, didle didle liddle lum.
Daniel Craig is a perfect Bond. Casting him has put the whole series of films back on track. If he stays in the role he'll gain classic Bond status. The rot set in with Dalton and Brosnan.
