Adele Graces Us With Her Beautiful Vocals In Skyfall Snippet! Listen HERE!
10/01/2012 3:40 PM ET | Filed under: Madonna • Music Minute • Film Flickers • Paul McCartney • Adele • Tina Turner
Ooh! Ask and you shall receive, Perezcious readers!
Earlier today, we got treated to the single artwork for Adele’s James Bond theme song, Skyfall, and now we get to have a listen!
While the song won’t make its FULL debut until Thursday, we have a little snippet to hold you over until then!
Take a listen to Adele singing the lead single (above)!!!
Sounds stunning so far! Though, could we ever expect any less from the songstress?!
And what an honor to be included amongst Paul McCartney, Tina Turner, Carly Simon and Madonna, who've all come before her in singing the anthem!
We cannot wait to hear it in full!!!

Stunning, she is the epitome of CLASS!
It sounds like a typical Bond song, harkens back to the late 60s. Shirley Bassie would have done it better… or Sarah Vaughn. Adele does have a lovely voice, but I don't go crazy over it. My fav Bond song? Geez, so many. Love "Nobody does it better" Carly Simon, "Live and Let Die", Wings and any of the songs from the original Bond movies.
.
Couldn't stand Madonna's song.
.
The song will be received well and do well for Adele.
Incredible! The song is fantastic and her voice could melt butter. I think it's going to be a big hit!
Finally, something Bond-worthy.
Re: stefystef – Agreed, Madonna butchered the opportunity. I was always partial to Duran Duran's A View to a Kill.
Since Tina Turne there has not been a really good Bond song. At least their are going back to their roots. Better than staying with bad choices.
Re: stefystef – Agree…but their tunes were written to be ballsy. Adele is doing the tune justice Adele's way, and the tune snippet so far lacks large crescendos.
Lurv me some Adele! Sounds awesome. Very Bondy.
Not too excited over it yet. I hope it was one of those big, swelling endings.
Re: stefystef –
Don't forget "GoldenEye" by Tina Turner, "The Man With The Golden Gun" by Lulu, "A View To A Kill" by Duran Duran, "The World Is Not Enough" by Garbage, "For Your Eyes Only" by Sheena Easton, "Diamonds Are Forever" by Shirley Bassey.
Honorable mentions: "License To Kill" by Gladys Knight, "Tomorrow Never Dies" by Sheryl Crow, "You Only Live Twice" by Nancy Sinatra, "All Time High" by Rita Coolidge.
I agree about the Madonna version. That was the worst.
Your ads are making me not want to come here anymore.
Re: JC –
*was=has
[…]Wonderful story, reckoned we could combine a handful of unrelated data, nonetheless truly worth taking a look, whoa did one master about Mid East has got much more problerms also […]
nothing like Die Another Day… they've all done the same shitty 60 style songs.. Madonna took it to another level, and the video was amazing… doubt Adele will make something good with this…
Re: Saint Thomas – That is freakin Cuckoo. Madonna can't sing and that song was another blemish on the credibility of the modern music industry.
Re: Saint Thomas –
You're right. Madonna took it to another level…another level of shittiness. There's a reason why DAD has been voted worst Bond theme of all time. An amazing video doth not a great song make.
Re: Dex – sweetie it was actually the most successful Bond theme since Duran Duran's "A View To Kill"… so just stop it XD
Re: fabulousdivabuns – you know music is not all about singing, in fact music was originally made without vocals… and judging by your DP there's not even a point in arguing with you cause you either are an old man who thinks that whatever is modern = shit, or just a depressive kid who wishes he was living in the old days… so bye
Re: Saint Thomas – Sorry, hun…Die Another Day wasn't up to the Bond tradition. 'The World Is Not Enough' (Garbage) and Shirley Manson did it up right with the big minor chord rock orchestral number complete with big crescendo.
Re: @v@ – that one was good, but I still like DAD better, I love the lyrics to it, at first I couldn't figure it out, but now it makes sense
Love Adele… but this is nothing new. Sounds a bit boring actually.
Re: Saint Thomas – OK, I'll go give it another good listen. At the end of the day, music is subjective. Shrugs. You like what you like.
First off, Adele is immensely more talented than Vadge. Secondly, Vadge is an old whore who has really made a mockery of herself by dressing like a cheerleader at age 54. Really, she just looks like an asshole. The main reason I can't stand her is because of her shitty phony British attitude.
Re: VadgeIsAHag – first if someone is more talented than the other does not mean EVERY song has to be better, especially in art where things are directed to different audiences and different tastes… second of all Madonna wearing a cheerleader outfit has literally nothing to do in this discussion lol, and last but not least great judgement you have that you decide to trash an artist on every post, have a picture of that artist, call her by a despective nickname and all of it because of her "british" accent?… get a life please, or at least some sense in the way
Re: Saint Thomas – DAD is better than I remember, but not my favorite. Pretty physical video, lol. My problem with it was the writing vis a vis the (trancy or not?) repetitiveness; not her. I don't feel Bond should necessarily be too trendy. She did a very good job on the vocals.
Re: @v@ – totally agree! sometimes people think just because Im a fan of hers I love everything she does, and it aint true, Im actually very critical, but to me that song is really good, very catchy (sometimes repetitive yes) and she did very good with the vocals, and even though it is very dance/electro it quite fits in the James Bond movie
