	Now on the CBn main page... 'Quantum of Solace' Title Theme Rumours Keep Coming Duffy, Jack White, Leona Lewis, Beyonce... Duffy is playing secretive, saying that a 'lady never reveals her secrets', meanwhile the guys from the Last Shadow Puppets (who would do a great Bond theme) have said that Jack White has got it- and that they've heard that 'the race is over': http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/news/20080617_bondtheme.shtml

	Interesting... Mercy is not half bad, but I don't know her work beyond that. The Mercurius Affair: A James Bond novella - A tribute to Ian Fleming's creation Never will we find truth if we content ourselves with what is already known.

	"Mercy" is a good song, but I also don't know anything about her work other than that one song. Based on "Mercy", though, I wouldn't be opposed to her performing the song.

	Now THIS is a rumour I am liking the sound of...regardless of whether it is true or not. Though I did mention Duffy months ago and everyone nay-sayed me out of the water. Duffy would be a perfect choice. Ideal in fact. She mixes the obvious torch song requirements of the song because of its musical past and the newer, less pop orientated take as kickstarted by Chris Cornell. Her or Amy for me. More of Duffy.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhZ5-L9znt8

	Oh, give me a break! DUFFY for the main title song? From the powerfull song of Chris we're going to a Mercy type one?

	Ugh... Tabloid Trash! I'll sure be begging for mercy if this is true! I'm Motivated By My Duty!

I don't know what you think my dear friend, but I'm sure that she can't sing any song that can even compare with You know my name! Maybe I'm wrong, who knows!

She's fine- not as interesting as Winehouse; feels a bit more synthetic somehow. I'd take her over Leona Lewis, but I'm not excited. It does sound as if she's submitted a song, though. Let's not forget that Jack White's been thrown in the mix too- he's a big Anglophile so perhaps has a soft spot for Bond, plus he plays around in all sorts of genres; could be great.

	Duffy would be okay. Jack White is an interesting choice though. It'd no doubt piggy back on the more grungy/male vocals we got in Casino Royale. I don't care for The White Stripes, but Jack's a fair enough singer. It wouldn't be a James Bond adventure starring Daniel Craig without some controversy! Strawberry Fields, forever

As a song YOU KNOW MY NAME was not the greatest of works. As a Bond song, it however shone head and shoulders above what we had been given in recent films - more or less. I wouldn't have thought that singers like DUFFY would potentially get a Bond gig just based on one song. I think her album is her greatest calling card for "Title Song Performed By".

Also crossed my mind that there were a few Bond moments on "The Last Shadow Puppets" album earlier this evening, so both have potential.

	Well everyone hear knows i was routing for yes But Jack White finnaly a theme song artist rumour i can jump on board with. Is it wrong to want a kick rock guitar bond theme with a killer riff that makes me as a guitarist go "Man that is so cool i wanna learn how to play that" We got it with you know my name here's hoping we get it with QOS
