The new song is out and is not getting great reviews. I think it's ok but the media do love to pounce. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5qFm14lhcYZcPDMnwcMw1M2/listen-to-the-new-bond-theme-tune-as-introduced-by-sam-smith-on-grimmys-show Diamond are Forever is still my favourite though!

I don't like the new song. Far too squeaky for Bond.

My favourite is Carly Simon singing 'Nobody Does It Better' from The Spy Who Loved Me.

Definitely not this one!! I thought I liked Sam Smith but we watched a concert on TV and decided that everything sounds the same. Ok when interspersed with other music but not a whole show.

I like Carly Simon too!

I haven't heard the new one. I did like Tomorrow Never Dies - was that Sheryl Crow and I also liked the Madonna one - I got used to it.

I've heard the latest one and I don't like it at all. I liked Skyfall, and live and Let Die, but my favourite has to be Moonraker. Great song, great Shirl!

I don't mind this new Bond theme song, and I do like Sam Smith, so think it might grow on me after a few hearings.
I like the Carly and Adele ones as well as good old Shirley.

I don't like the new song. My favourite is Goldfinger. Can't resist joining in doing a very poor Shirley Bassey impression.

I'm not impressed by this latest one either. The production drowns out his rather weedy voice.

I think my favourite Bond theme song is 'You only Live Twice' by Nancy Sinatra.

A View to a Kill because I used to love Duran Duran. The new one is so forgettable and would be no good for Karaoke.

Duran Duran [well, a couple of them] are on tour at the moment...I'm tempted to go and see them.

They're never how you remember them Tegan. Didn't you get Bay City Rollers tickets, they sold out in 3 minutes?

I've never seen them [Duran Duran that is] so I can't be disappointed smile. Reviews for their shows have been very good. They have always been underrated [even at the height of their popularity]. Was watching a programme about Nile Rodgers last night in which DD were one of the bands that had the sense to work with him [David Bowie being another]. Anyway, the sound at the ice stadium is so rubbish I won't hear anything anyway [or, if I do it will be too loud and I'll be wearing earplugs!].
