Great news!
This is great news in my mind, one less thing to have to read about that mess of a person in the paper.
Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of people who like her music, however I'm not one of them and quite frankly I tire of reading about her latest drugscapade all the time.
You can almost hear the dispair
You can almost hear the dispair in Mark's voice here, as he watches Amy Winehouse throw away another opportunity for greatness and takes him down with her.
isn't winehouse french for trainwreck?
ok, she can sing, but damn, what a trainwreck.
Excellent
Now, just get someone decent to record it, remind the songwriter that not every Bond theme has to have the title in the song, and we'll be good to go...
all is not lost!
Amy keeps her music in her beehive, there's a whole recording studio in there, so when they need a theme tune, she just goes to the hairdresser's and out it pops!
Alternative voice
He should get Paloma Faith to sing instead... she's better looking as well.
Hurrah!
Now I can go watch the film without cringing through the credits!
PS: Anon Coward, if all the articles about her tire you, there's an easy solution...!
C'mon Sarah
Lets have it
IT angle, no coat too hot out there but i'll take a paris
First few times
The music was good... then her voice became Whine-House... long before Drugs kicked in. Pity the poor soul... and then ask about the people dealing and supplying. Our version of Brittany...
Is this offer open to anyone?
I mean, can I announce that I'm going to record the next Bond theme and then announce that, actually, I'm not and get an El Reg article covering both statements?
I'll sing crap and take drugs if it helps.....
zzz
Oh, behave.
And anyone who can't spell 'Britney' after all this time needs to sort it out, and is disqualified from opining on matters of popular culture. That is all.
Lies, damm lies
The real reason she quit is that see couldn't get anything to rhyme with the title...
I'm not gonna record the next Bond theme either.
But I could be open to offers
Either way.
@Mike Crawshaw
You're right, I do know what I can do, I gave up reading newspapers a few weeks back and am much happier for it!
Has anyone seen...
Pete Doherty and Amy at the same time? When Pete goes at HM pleasure does Amy popup and vice versa - one cross dresser with a habit responsible?
re: Lies, damn lies...
> The real reason she quit is that see couldn't get anything to rhyme with the title...
thought i'd give that a try
"But it's just a Quantum of Solace;
The world is not your molasc;
but your real popular on myspace;
with those pearls on your necklace..."
okay, it's getting a bit weird now.....
rhymes?
Maybe not hard rhymes, but possibly some soft ones?
Quantum of Solace,
dum ti dum ti dum,
Castor and Pollux,
dum ti dum ti dum,
<something> like bollocks.
You might pronounce 'solace' a bit differently on your side of the pond so this might not work.
Re: zzz
Brittiny?
Britany?
Bright-Annie?
Aww sod it I give up.
Paris doesn't 'do' spelin either.
@Sarah Bee
Ah, I thought I was the only one that noted the "Brittany" weirdness. I thought it was Britney's evil twin they were talking about!
Damn

Hehehe
As soon as I saw the headline I didnt bother with the story, went straight to the comments.
Ah the sweet sound of the Carrion Crew sharpening their claws :D
@Sarah Bee
>> and is disqualified from opining on matters of popular culture
Or opinioning even ;o) ......
..... either way I'm happy - I tend to want to stab some Indy (couldn't help it, I'm still laughing from the Lesbo article) whenever I hear Winehouse' damn voice!!!
What's wrong with this picture?
++?????++ Out of GiveaS++t Error. Redo From Start.
Moreover, the adverts down there V are priceless.
"The X Bond Company: exchange off plan with Zurich's Property Deposit Guarantee"
"Amy Wynehouse LIVE BAND: LIVE tribute band to Amy Winehouse Europe's leading sound/look alike"
<mind mode=boggling>
Re: isn't winehouse french for trainwreck?
No, but "Amy Winehouse" IS french for "I like the pub".
@Jim
LOL! .......... serves me right for trying to be a smarta** <g>
Portishead
should do the Bond theme - though, they'd probably miss the deadline. May be they can do the next one.
Who cares?
Off topic? Seriously, does anyone out there /not/ fast forward through the opening music anyway?
Remember Spleen
Maybe she changed her mind because they decided on Spleen's lyrics:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/01/24/bond_22_title/comments/
*waahhnnyyahnaahh* He's got a quantum of solace *wahhhnyyaaahnaahhh* And a googleplex of sanctimony *wwwaaahhhnyyaaahhhnaaah* He'll aspirate your apathy *wwwaaahhhnyyyaannaaah* With anaerobic dialysis *waaahhnnyyyaaanaahhh*
Although it does take someone truly pissed to be able to sing this with the appropriate diction.
