Beyonce's Bond
We were all so sure that Amy Winehouse would be the voice of the next Bond movie theme tune, but after all her troubles recently we're not feeling quite as sure. After all there's plenty of other amazing girl vocalists out there at the moment that could be quite as suitable.
The mighty Leona Lewis emerged as a strong candidate this week when The Sun reported a source as saying, "Amy was their original choice but she just can't get her act together and hasn't got the right image. "The Bond guys now look set on Leona. She is reliable and has a great voice for it. Hopefully something could be announced soon." And Leona herself followed it up with, "That's getting sorted out by the record company. I guess if it goes through then I'll hear about it, but it would be mega. I would love to do that."
But is tipping Leona for the win merely a case of us trying to get our most beloved new diva the job? Over in America they're reporting instead that Beyonce will be the one solving the Quantum of Solace. She's got the glam and the credentials after her Austin Powers theme tune and is rumoured to be recording a song written by Amanda Ghost (who wrote James Blunt's 'You're Beautiful').
As much as we'd love to hear Amy do the theme, we really think she needs to go away for a long time and sort herself out. Leona and Beyonce both sound like great ideas so as long as it's a diva holding a massive note we'll be happy!

As much as i'd like to see a Brit sing the new bond theme, i think Beyonce is perfect, i much prefer her rnb catchy beats to Leonas nice but annoying after a while tunes. Wouldn't mind seeing the Duffster rubbing shoulders with Daniel Craig like ;]

I feel Beyonce would be a great candicate for the theme tune because she is perfect for the part: Bold, sassy and exciting! Also would love to see Leona do it because she really does sing by heart and gets the message across!

Hmmm as much as I think Beyonce is a great artist and all, I wouldnt particularly like to see her do the Bond song as shes really only good at R+B styles of music, and a jazzy 'diva' Bond song might be a bit mediocre from her... Would love to see Leona do it as she is a stronger singer and can belt like crazy.
