James Bond: Quantum of Solace is out today and as we all know, Bond wouldn't be complete without a classic theme song behind him.
Every artist who has graced us with their tuneful Bond offerings have always been the ‘man of the moment’ and gone on to achieve great things; regardless of the actual quality of the song.
With this in mind, FemaleFirst have come up with five musicians we think would do a sound job at belting out Bond delights;
Liam Gallagher and co have been causing a storm recently with their wonderful new album Dig Out Your Soul.
What’s more, just like James Bond, they don’t shy away from confrontations as we saw back in the 1990’s when it all kicked off between them and the boys in Blur.
Noel Gallagher has also been mouthing off again about the whole Russell Brand VS the BBC situation: what James Bond does with his gun these guys can do just as well with their Manchurian voices!
James Bond loves his diva’s and there is no denying that Leona Lewis is up there with the best of them.
With a voice so powerful it could shatter diamonds (which clearly aren’t forever!) we think Leona would be incredible at picking off where Shirley Bassey left off.
Not only does she have the voice but she also has the looks to go with it and I could see her making a cameo role to go with her anthem, just as the Queen of pop Madonna did.
Coldplay might not have the charisma you find oozing out of James pores, in fact they don’t really have that much about them in general; apart from some fantastic music under their belts.
One of the finest bands to come out this decade Chris Martin won’t stand anyone hurting those he loves; much like our James - he stormed out of an interview after the journalist asked about Gwyneth.
But that aside, with Chris’ delicious vocals and his wifey Gwyneth Paltrow’s acting skills on the table, we see a whole James Bond theme/girl collaboration on the table!
Girls Aloud’s Cheryl Cole seems to be everywhere at the moment so it’s no surprise they made it into our chart.
Okay, so they might not have the best voices around at the moment but that didn’t stop Jack White having a go did it? (ouch!)
Anyway, their new single Promises has shown a far more mature side to the girls - and those Gold dresses make them the picture of your idea Bond Girl.
We had to put old Wine-O in as it’s a crying shame that she didn’t record this year’s theme with her pal Mark Ronson.
I know she’s had a bad rap over the last few months, and I must admit that Alicia Keys does have a cracking voice; it’s just a shame she doesn’t show it off on the new theme.
Amy can pull off a ‘big’ song as good as the best of them, and as Alicia failed to utilise her vocal skills on this film’s theme I just hope Amy can show off hers next time around.
