Despite new names being mentioned left and right throughout much of the Quantum of Solace production, Amy Winehouse seemed to be by far the number one contender for the title theme.

Working along with producer Mark Ronson, Winehouse came up with a demo track that was planned to be submitted to the producers. Work on the track then came to a halt in May after several recent reports of some erratic behavior by Winehouse. Ronson stated at the time: ‘I’m not sure [Amy’s] ready to work on music yet.’

The James Bond theme ultimately went to Jack White and Alicia Keys, who came up with ‘Another Way To Die’.

Speaking with The West Australian, Ronson said he was more worried than annoyed by Winehouse’s odd behaviour that contributed to the sidelining of their 007 theme that never was.

‘That’s somebody I care about,’ he said. ‘I was more worried about her as a person than I was whether we got the Bond theme done or not.’

‘But, yeah, definitely when somebody offers you a Bond theme, it’s a once in a lifetime situation. [I was] sitting back a bit bummed watching the Jack White video on MTV.’

In August, Winehouse briefly made mention of her plans to release the unused Bond theme, but this has so far yet to occur.

Nicely said, Mark. He seems like one of the good guys.

Whoa whoa WHOA!!!
She looks quite big there, quite... Frank Amy... and it's not just the dress near her neck and shoulders looks bit beefier (not being rude but you know what I mean)

Hm Brand & Winehouse... hmm Brandhouse-Wine... lol no, no, no!
The thought of them too... seriously, imagine the kids - his chest hair and facial hair and... their hair... be a good pairing for lots of reasons, and for lots of VERY good reasons they would be a match made in hell

I'm not too fond of that guy. His hair is just disgusting. I mean why? WHY? I liked him in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but the ads for the VMAs when he hosted really annoyed me. But if he combed his hair, he and Amy would make a cute couple I think!


Anyways, although I would love to have seen Amy get the Bond theme, I am just as happy to see Jack White get it. He is an amazing musician and producer. I'm a HUGE white stripes fan actually

Funny to hear an Amy Winehouse fan say that.
And I go back to... I go back to us.


Bruised, battered and desparate for a fag she may be, but Amy is our 21st Century Piaf: flawed yet fabulous, tormented yet towering. Think of her this way and hope that the still remarkably young woman under the eyeliner thinks that way too. - Jude Rogers, The Word

I'm totally in love with Russell Brand anyway!! LOL
So the thought of the two loves of my life together would be brilliant.
(I'll end up divorced one day for my Russell obsession!! hahaha)
