Susan Boyle for Bond theme?

The title is I Dreamed A Dream and it would seem to be true, as not only is she on track for this year’s best selling album in the world, she is hotly tipped to be singing the next James Bond theme.

Susan is said to be elated at the prospect of singing for the movie, which stars Daniel Craig and is due out in 2011. It would certainly be another good notch on her amazing rise and she would join previous stars Shirley Bassey’s “Goldfinger”, “Diamonds Are Forever”, and “Moonraker”, Duran Duran’s “A View To A Kill”, Nancy Sinatra’s “You Only Live Twice”, Paul McCartney’s “Live and Let Die”, Tina Turner’s “GoldenEye”, Carly Simon’s “Nobody Does it Better”, Garbage’s “The World Is Not Enough”, Sheena Easton’s “For Your Eyes Only” and Madonna’s “Die Another Day”".

The composed of the classic 007 music we all know, Monty Norman thinks Susan would be a “great” choice.
He said: “They’ll think seriously because she’s got the right kind of sweeping voice”.
