Okay could she find more excuses to invite Belty Eilish out to play because I'm very much liking the evidence she just gave us that she can.

This is gorgeous and the last minute or so of the song is very good. Has a very similar vibe to "Skyfall" with the whole orchestral build to a peak vibe it has.

She should belt more often. The ending when she does is epic.

Grew on me already, sounds like something in between Dont Smile At Me and WWAFA + Bond-flavored

Did... she lipsync at the Brit Awards? In the studio release, she belts that word "die" and then does a run of "ooh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh" whereas at the BRITs she did a run of "heeee..." sounding like she was continuing the word "die" after her breath. I may be wrong, who knows, but I hear a clear difference between the studio and the BRIT performance.

Gotcha. I'm not familiar enough with the song to note the specific differences, but something about that clip... I don't know if it's that particular rip of the performance being out of sync with the audio or her mannerisms - something seems a little off to me. Particularly the pulling away of the mic multiple times with no sound changing lol. Good performance regardless!

She killed that performance. I loved the orchestra conducted by Hans. That was an obvious “to be repeated at the Oscars” performance.

I'm still at awe of how amazing Billie and orchestral arrangement works with each other.

What a lovely and NOT lip-synced performance! Beautiful! 2021 Oscars about to have its wig torn off by the year's Best Original Song

This just keeps getting better with every listen. I hope that we get more stuff like this on her next album.

Get that UK smash Ms. Belty.
Already wondering how she's gonna manage to make this sound fresh next year at the Oscars.

I think this is a cool song but I don’t think it works as a Bond theme personally

She did great, the new song is nice but takes a bit of time to get going, though it's good when it gets there
As a Bond theme, it's alright though

As a Bond theme fanatic, I'll say it's way better than most of the other Daniel Craig theme songs, second only to "Skyfall." But that's not saying much. She's simply not a big enough vocalist to pull off a moment like this and I CANNOT at people losing their sh*t over that half-hearted belt she lets out.

Am I the only one that doesn't really hold the Bond themes to a high standard? "Skyfall" was great but you'd have to go back a few decades to find another one that was amazing. The Sam Smith one was dreadful, Alicia and Jack delivered a stinker, and Madonna's was fun but hardly an all-timer. The one from Casino Royale I can't even remember how it goes...
Not necessarily saying this one is amazing either. Probably wouldn't even rank it top 5 on Billie's short discography. But the franchuse has delibered just as many stinkers as it has delivered classics.
