Don't be dissing Annie Lennox - the woman CAN sing.

Annie Lennox will never be a has-been.

Ever.

Stopped in to defend Annie Lennox. Glad to see I didn't need to.

like a Bond out of hell i'll be banging till the morning comes

SpinStopper:Annie Lennox will never be a has-been.

Ever.

QFT.

Fark you submitter; -1

Didn't she do that Lord of the Rings song too?

She's getting a lot of work for a has-been.

The woman has pipes for days. I say we find subbys address and let our feelings known!

Young punks, no respect at all.

I'm glad to see that others have piped in. I don't have any of her newer stuff, but one of my favorite CD's is "Diva".

Go back to your Rhianna CDs, Submitter.

/not a fan of Annie Lennox; but I damn sure know talent when I hear it

gilgigamesh:Go back to your Rhianna CDs, Submitter.

OH SNAP.

1,000,000,000 gay men can't be wrong. NTTAWWT.

The woman has an awesome voice.

LEAVE ANNIE ALONE!

Snarkmitter shoots... and MISSES!

Well at least it's not Amy Winehouse like they were threatening to do if she cleaned up her act

Walk on broken glass, submitter.

Dude... Slagging Annie Lennox? Is this your first day on the music beat, submitter?

She's a hack. She ripped off that "Sweet Dreams" song from Marilyn Manson.

Who am I to disagree?

Mugato:She's a hack. She ripped off that "Sweet Dreams" song from Marilyn Manson.

Sweet Dreams came out when Marilyn Manson was 14. You and submitard belong in the same boat - on a long trip to somewhere else.

I cant think of one song that I like by Annie Lennox, but she's unquestionably a brilliant singer and songwriter.

wtf is wrong with Annie Lennox?

You turned off your sarcasm detector didn't you?

Submitter is a complete retard. Who would you rather they seek out? Annie is not necessarily my cup of tea, since I am a metalhead, but she has a wonderful voice and is obviously a talent.

However, Farkomatic, not only can you not detect sarcasm very well (I think even the most retarded music fan would know that Lennox did not rip off Manson), but if you cannot even think of one song, how do you know she is brilliant? If you cannot think of even one song, how could you give an example of her brilliance?

Wow, Raging Fark. I like it.

I hope Annie does well with the song, now, if the next Bond movie could only be another hit, then we've got something. It was kind of weird when they chose Chris Cornell to sing for Casino Royale.

SUCKER!!!

Submitter your mom tells me your laundry will be done tomorrow, she's busy right now.

I love this thread so much.

slackist:Fark you submitter

/lazy.

Oh, good ole never was Annie Lennox.

Just give up on the James Bond themes, mmmkay? They aren't going to be hit songs for you anymore. Especially not one that has to rhyme something with Solace, for Gods sakes.

Subby is a thorn in my side.

Her music doesn't do a thing for me - but unlike most people on fark, that doesn't mean I think it's bad. For example, "Walking on Broken Glass" is put together very well and she shows off an incredible range. But I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it.

I'll admit I might have got taken by the sarcasm, but in my defense, this is the site where people seriously claim Meg White is a better drummer than Niel Peart or Slash is a better guitar player than Eddie Van Halen - it's hard to weed through the crap sometimes. So, if it was sarcasm, this is my mea culpa - and I should learn to keep quiet when music snobs (I'm looking at you smitty) make absurd statements like Annie Lennox being a has-been. Even people that don't care for her music can see she's a heavyweight in the industry who will stay relevant for a long time.

Oh yeah....and I'll add insult to injury - I think she did knock it out of the park when she did her thing on the American Idol gives back program - it was a mind-blowing performance in my opinion.

Submitter writes stupid headline, and Fark mob pounces. That's entertainment.

I just hope the opening is a little more hetero-erotic this time around.

Saw Annie Lennox, with Dave Stewart on guitar, back in the 80's out in Berkeley, CA. They opened up for Huey Lewis and the News. Must admit her and the band were a bit underwhelming. Maybe they just had a bad day.

Nice air ball, smitty...

What is wrong with getting Shirley Bassey? She has great pipes still, and arguable sang the best Bond songs

Ummm.. who cares who sings the opening credit song? It is always the worst part of a James Bond movie.

These days, its just a bunch of CGI for two minutes with little insight as to what the movie plot is about, while I wait for the dang show to start. You then take an act like Chris Cornell or Sheryl Crow, throw them out of their element, and have them sing overtop of an orchestra.

subby, please go fark yourself with something large, rough and splintery.

I don't care who sings it...I'll just be impressed if they somehow worked 'Quantum of Solace' into the lyrics.

"These days?"

I don't know about you guys, but I think that the opening sequence for Casino Royale was pretty damn impressive.

I'm not Annie Lennox's's biggest fan, but Jesus... subby shoots and misses. Idjit. AL has an amazing voice and an ability to use it well.

\Sorry subby, but I gotta pile-on too.
\\They should get somebody 'good' like Coldplay or Nicklehack or some such, er, 'quality' music

IMDWalrus:

I don't know about you guys, but I think that the opening sequence for Casino Royale was pretty damn impressive.

Visually, yes, some interesting stuff. Not as interesting and fascinating as the scene before with Bond achieving his 00 status... that was far more suspenseful and action packed. Sure, in some visual artsy way, it is impressive, but I came for the action, Bond babes, and cocky one liners. Not an Alice In Wonderland moment.

Cornell's singing? No. Not impressive.

I think I just don't like the inclusion of two very different musical styles. A backing orchestra didn't help Metallica's career, and there are very few artists besides a Barry Manilow or Tony Bennett that can pull off working with an orchestra.

I think Annie can pull it off though. She's done similar stuff on some of her more recent CDs. That being said, more than likely I'll just be hitting "next chapter" on the remote.

Eh... it's alright. But for a Bond flick it needs more silhouetted side boob

Subby, fark you. She's an amazingly good singer, and you have no farking taste in music. GTH.

Grrr..... LOUD NOISES!!!

Meat Loaf/Jim Steinman would do a fantastic, bombastic job with a James Bond song.

The thing about Annie is that when she sings, you know it's Annie. I couldn't pick Gwen, Leona, Fergie, Kylie or any other of those Barbie dolls out of a vocal farking lineup.
