Very odd. The Cardigans were massively popular there for about half an hour after that "Love Fool" song, but I agree, not really a good duet to go with!<br /><br />Of course, Tom Jones will be making an appearance in our Top Ten somewhere, being the voice behind "Thunderball".<br /><br />And yeah - Alicia Keys has a great voice and does well in the song, but for me it just doesn't crackle like it should. Kinda of like the movie itself, really - after "Casino Royale" there was a lot of expectation (perhaps unfairly so) on "Quantum of Solace", and while it was solid, it didn't really fire. The villain was just a tad ineffective - actually, I can't even remember his name off the top of my head.

The Bond family mott...Why yes, Wah, you are right!<br /><br />The Bond family motto is "Orbis non sufficit" - first revealed when Bond traces his genealogy in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".<br /><br />It's a great name for a Bond movie, as it also aptly represents the ambitions of villains Elektra King and Renard.Girl Clumsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056312179921746322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795390.post-8454258798942665002010-05-21T09:43:59.843+10:002010-05-21T09:43:59.843+10:00I did not know that Alicia Keyes was a ringer for ...I did not know that Alicia Keyes was a ringer for 'Another Way To Die', but now that I hear it, it makes a lot of sense.<br />I do love the instrumentation in this one, and Jack White's voice works very well, but Keyes is so polished, she's almost frictionless. She sounds nice, but there's no soul or character in what she's singing.<br />I haven't heard such an unbalanced duet since the lead singer from the Cardigans thought it was a good idea to try and sing in the same room as Tom Jones (seriously, it's like watching a bunny in the headlights).<br />I echo your sentiments, though, I'd love to have heard this with Amy Winehouse instead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795390.post-81701584352797250112010-05-21T07:32:09.140+10:002010-05-21T07:32:09.140+10:00Isn't "The world is not enough" the ...Isn't "The world is not enough" the Bond family motto?
