Just came to post this! Great choice, but totally unexpected! Can't wait to hear it!
Film James Bond: No Time to Die
- Thread starter esmufc07

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Nice, another 3 minutes of her barely audible and monotone whispering under her breath.
Didnt another movie or tv show thread turn into whether Billie Eilish is a star / good singer or something?
So in two years time when people are watching this on sky they can ask "who the feck was Billie Elish "
I think it was the Star Wars thread but I can't even vaguely imagine how that detour came about.

Maybe you fancy her Sully but sorry to break it to you she is already flopping after her one hit .
Still guess this was a choice between her and Lil Nas X
I bet it’s going to be a really upbeat track.
Really?? Based on what - I’ve seen nothing to suggest she’s flopping...
They chose Sam Smith over Radiohead last time.
Although I do fine Eilish far from the worst around on the hit parade that the kids are bopping to these days.
It says Billie is writing the track... But doesn't her brother write all her material?
No, they collborate. He does do the majority of the production iirc
I'm personally looking forward to it. We can all join in muttering under our breaths along to the highly creative lyrics
I'm a good man
But I act like-a bad man
Shoot people in the face man
Shaken but not stirred man

Don't insult Billie she's a genius and her brother is also a genius just listen to their music voice of a generation geniuses the pair of them
Grumpy old men.
Quite possibly. But don't worry because like the umpteen singers who have come before her and risen to sycophant levels of fame they'll be forgotten in a couple of years and you won't have to see anyone moaning about her and her brother.
But, Bond eh? I personally want to see Robert Pattinson get the role because it'll annoy the feck out of everyone.
Bond and Batman!!

What's a Billie Eilish
The mardi faced teen in the post above. Not to be confused with Billy the fish
I'm trying to work out if this is sarcasm. For my own intents and purposes i will assume it is, in which case ...
I think one of the keys on your keyboard must be broken Mr Pigeon, I've fixed it for you
They should have gone all out to really piss of the out of touch old men and had Greta do it!
Yeah but Greta isn't shit so your argument doesn't work.
What does Billie stand for? Pretending to be against the system and an individual whilst making money selling as many things in TV adverts as you can?
She is to even more of you old fogey types
How old are you because I bet we're the same age? I think the term you're looking for is "more musically mature and more awesome than Redlambs".She is to even more of you old fogey types
Or it's because I can recognise true genius and you can't change with the times.
It's probably somewhere in the middle: I can't change and not be a genius whilst you can't recognise it.
she's against the idea girls shouldn't have to show off their body to get attention, and good on her for that. its not hypocrtical to do that at the same time as accepting money to sell shit on TV. if, as you say, she will disappear in the next 5 years, then she may as well milk her current success while she can. i find the disdain for an 18 year old girl who at least co-writes her own material and doesn't serve up more Katy Perry-esque BS pop a little weird though. she also has a few songs that are actually really good, bad guy and when the party's over two in particular.
Christ! What a way to describe one of the best voices around at the moment.
Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas are extremely creative. Very refreshing in today's music industry.
I salute her for her stance on independence and letting her music speak for her instead of her looks. I just don't like her music and it was fun trying to wind up Redlambs for a bit.
Genius! You should get the next crack at Bond 26; dead but still alive.
Well you clearly picked on the wrong girl.
As we speak an army of her fans are ready and willing to come to your house and feck you up.

(*I think that's the lingo
)Lea is such a meh bond girl. Would have preferred someone new/better.
I like the Billie Eilish album (it was probably one of my 30-ish favourite of last year) but when I said she was a good choice I was also thinking of it from the film's POV.
The title song is arguably the single most important piece of marketing for a Bond film, especially given the last two have gone on to win Oscars. With that in mind, I suspect that aside from being very popular/hyped atm (biggest selling album in the US last year, also a UK #1, multiple Grammy nominations, critical acclaim, etc.), Eilish was partly picked because of the age group she appeals too. I have zero doubt that the people whose job it is to market Bond films have had many long discussions about specifcally targeting Gen Z to ensure the series can continue printing money for another decade or two.
