To think that Adele should re-record Skyfall?

It's pretty and pleasant but sky 'faw' and tum 'bole' seriously affect my noggin. Didn't anyone in the recording process notice?

She can carry a tune obviously, however when she does, it definitely harries me Smile

meboo · 18/10/2012 09:12

I've just had to listen to it again, it gives me goosebumps a typical James Bond theme. I think it's brilliant, the lyrics fit in well with the story. Oh an did you know that Skyfall is the childhood home of James Bond and it is located in Scotland. (pokey tongue out emoticon)

Callisto · 18/10/2012 09:12

Adele is dreadful. How the hell did she become so popliar that she was allowed to do the Bond theme?

PrettyPrinceofDarkness · 18/10/2012 09:17

Don't all Bond themes sound the same?

No, check out the theme for Goldfinger that Ringo Starr wrote. Never used though. Sad

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 18/10/2012 09:23

Harrying a tune - I like it :).

MrsReiver · 18/10/2012 09:32

[Ariel] I think [MardyBra's] post above "She needs to learn to hit the note rather than approaching it from a semitone below and swooping up." perfectly describes harrying a tune!

MrsReiver · 18/10/2012 09:35

Oh for goodness sake, that's what I get for writing a post while talking to the kids.

Good at multi tasking my arse.

ENormaSnob · 18/10/2012 09:37

It's shit.

GobblersKnob · 18/10/2012 09:44

Actual lol at ENormaSnob Grin

It most certainly is.

CalamityKate · 18/10/2012 09:53

Oh I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is irritated by that bloody Charlene Soraya one!! It drives me ranty!

"...the chee an sand an zone..."

".....rare wevver you will go....."

What The Actual? Why? Just why? No I mean genuinely - why? You CAN say the words so why wouldn't you??

fingerbiter · 18/10/2012 10:04

That Wherever you will go song is totally butchered by Soraya. And I luffs the original so much it hurts when I hear her singing it! Sad

Adele is boring.

Notafoodbabyanymore · 18/10/2012 11:06

Yep, it's boring. And annoying. If that's possible...

I think the Chris Cornell one was brilliant and really like the Jack White one (though I'm sure I'm going to be flamed for that opinion!)

MrsReiver · 18/10/2012 11:41

Another Way To Die is brilliant Nota - no flaming from here.

Madonna's on the other hand.....

BegoniaBampot · 18/10/2012 11:46

Yip, I loved AWTD. Really grew on me.

Notafoodbabyanymore · 18/10/2012 12:36

Yay! Just know lots of people slated it at the time. I think it's a tuuuuune.

MrsReiver · 18/10/2012 13:18

Jack Black could record the theme to Jackanory and I'd love it.

MrsReiver · 18/10/2012 13:19

And so could Jack White.

I'm going back to bed and starting this day over....

Lottapianos · 18/10/2012 13:24

Love Jack White too. Jack Black - not so much!

Kittenkatzen · 18/10/2012 13:26

:o mrsreiver....JAck Black singing Jackanory would be hilarious! I'm going to see him tonight, wonder if he takes requests.....

MrsReiver · 18/10/2012 13:32

Jack Black is awesome. He wrote the Greatest Song in the World: Ever.
And he's mates with Dave Grohl. Swoon.

Kitten - I am enormously jealous, have a wonderful time (she says grudgingly.)

Kittenkatzen · 18/10/2012 13:41

Nah, it was just a Tribute :o

Thanks...if DG is behind those drums tonight I'm going to pee my pants

MrsReiver · 18/10/2012 13:52

I think I'd pass out! That man is sex on a stick.

Flossiechops · 18/10/2012 14:05

THANK GOD!!! it's not just me then! What a load of shite, it's the way she drones on sky fawlllllll. Can't stand it, and I normally like adele!

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 18/10/2012 14:17

It is annoying isn't it!

Not as bad as that godawful Beyonce screeching 'what goes around then comes around oh my BWAY-BAY'

I think she has a terrible warble at the best of time but that song actually makes me shout.

SmellyFartado · 18/10/2012 14:26

So glad to have found this thread - thought Adele was She-Who-Cannot-Be-Criticised-for-Anyfuckingthing.

Don't like 'Skyfawwwwlllllll', tis shite.

Am with the poster that said Chris Cornell did a fantastic Bond tune - the man could sing a phone book and make it sexy
