I liked it already and thought it was a great Bond song. She's got a great voice and is beautiful and damn her dress is sparkly!

Shirley Bassey was much better, but she had a better song, too.

(3,709 posts)I agree it seemed very subdued for her. It almost sounded like the balance between her mike and the others was off...
But I really like her and also love Shirley Bassey...

(23,340 posts)The vocal is buried in the orchestration and difficult to hear.

(12,132 posts)I freely admit to being a total James Bond geek and may have enjoyed it more than I would have had it not been a Bond song.
I have no doubt Mrs. Bassey kicked some behind. She's got some experience on Adele so maybe Adele can take some lessons. Which song did she sing? I love her Bond songs too - heheh, even Moonraker. That ought to indicate how loopy I am for 007 stuff.
