Hey, Jimmy here
A couple of days ago on MSNBC there was an interview with Barbara Broccoli (the Quantum of Solace producer da!) and she was talking about who could potentially be the performer of the song promoting the new 007 movie and she said they narrowed it down to 5 people. She didn’t really want to say who but she did say that their number one would be… U2 and this indie guy Luke Janus (she said they could use his song but have someone else sing it – like Amy Winehouse). I found his myspace and you can listen to that song they were talking about and see if it would fit.

As for U2 - I dunno. Bono and Edge wrote GoldenEye and didnt perform the track. They have a Bond connection
Oh, and I think Amy Winehouse would be fine to sing the theme for QoS, though I'd prefer Bjork.
But how is this different from the other thread where we're discussing who we want/ don't want to sing the song? Already this is turning into the same thing. For the time being I'll leave the thread open to see if people really want to discuss the rumor in question, but don't be surprised if this gets closed--by me or by another mod.
If Amy Winehouse sang, I don´t think she would want to sing an unknown´s song though, she would come up with something herself.
i would find it highly unlikely that someone as established as songwriters like u2 would perform a song written by someone else, particularly with the exposure that a theme song might get. after all, they have written a number of songs for other people, not the other way around.
they are in sessions to record their next album so the timing could be right (i.e. already in the studio, playing around with ideas, etc.)
Ask for Amy Winehouse - don't go there.
This Luke guy's song is pretty good, and I think he used the title to good use, so a re-recorded version of that with real brass instruments etc would be great.
1 - Moore, 2 - Dalton, 3 - Craig, 4 - Connery, 5 - Brosnan, 6 - Lazenby

James King (Radio 1's film guy) and Edith Bowman (Radio 1 DJ) decided to do their own theme tune before everyone else. Word is Betty Boo is helping them produce it.......
this is the updated version of this link. It was aparently put up today, and quite amusing!
