Shirley Bassey: Goldfinger was her only #1, though I enjoyed Golden Gun. In her words: 'I suppose I should feel hurt that I'venever been really big in America on record since "Goldfinger"...But, concertwise, I always sell out.'
Didn't Lulu do Golden Gun? Shirley did Diamonds Are Forever and Moonraker. You're right about the nose diving thing though, although I like how one of Louis' last tunes was "we have all the time in the world" as he and Mrs. Bond clearly didn't.

LOL, that's stiff medicine! I'n no fan either, but I'm sure Brian is minding his street cred (and possibly his wallet). I myself prefer Paul Rogers to any onther singers mentioned for possible collab's so far. Flaming in 3...2...1....

I supported Paul Rodgers in principle (ie. 'wait and see') and what I heard from the '05 tour wasn't all that bad at all. When the band were really giving it shit, and Paul Rodgers was really putting in the effort, they sounded great. I'm not at all ashamed of saying that.
There was just way too much coasting going on. I know that maybe it's an age thing, or just a general air of complacency, but I personally do not enjoy that atmosphere, and am going to rate it accordingly.
The only Queen related thing I've really enjoyed of late was the Princes Trust gig, where Tom Chaplin was singing. That's the most decent attempt anyone's made at a Queen song in years.

Because this composer is a Queen fan and a Lady Gaga fan, and because he composes for Bond films, and because Brian has mentioned that they would like to work with Lady Gaga in the future, this composer thinks it is a good idea for Queen and Lady Gaga to collaborate for a Bond theme. I don't know why but when people give advice they often want you to do what they have chosen to do.
But the theme of government sponsored killing would put Brian off ... I think. Not sure. Also the problem of composing with Lady Gaga. She likes to sing about love and acceptance. You have to want to sing about killing to write a Bond theme song.
