    Default Adele - Skyfall

    I can't sing and I guess I have dodgy hearing but some parts of the chorus just sound out of tune to me when she says "we will stand tall" on the run of the tall bit

    I guess its just me

    no it's not just you. her pitch is dodgy the first time she sings it, she's better the 2nd & 3rd time - or the pitch correction software has been used more effectively. didn't like that bit at first but it grows on you. I guess it's tricky to get right.

    Creative use of pitch. Just like a guitarist bending notes.

    I think it's great - possibly not one of the all-time best Bond themes, but definitely one of the better ones.

    She's obviously been listening to Lana Del Ray.

    Song's good, but a bit long. The edit they'll use for the opening credits should be perfect

    She'd probably prefer pie fall...

    And bingo, the predictable and tedious references to her weight have begun.

    So bored of this every time Adele is mentioned.
