started off shaky, but killed the ending.

 

[royalan]

Shirley can sing better than women half her age, and certainly better than anyone getting on that stage tonight.

Impeccable technique that has enabled her voice to stay full, rich and resonant after damn near 60 years in the business.

Show some respect.

 

[SilentSoldier]

Shirley's still got it. Sad to see people dissing her in this thread.

 

[Chanser]

Well deserved ovation.

 

[789shadow]

Wait....That's it? Damn,I thought they were bringing out all the actors who played 007.

Would never have happened because stupid Sean Connery.

 

[DukeBobby]

Skyfawwwwwwwww

When it crumbawwwwwwwwws.

 

[Ithil]

What's with the standing ovation?lol

It's the most famous Bond song sung by the most famous and identifiable singer for Bond nailing the final note at the Oscars during Bond's 50th year.

 

[Wilbur]

Ending note was fucking great

I'm on 4/6 so far

 

[brianjones]

does she even have a greatest hits

 

[_Isaac]

I can't believe Brave won that one. UGH!

 

[jmdajr]

Not bad at all

 

[SmithnCo]

I can't believe Brave won that one. UGH!

Yeah, LTTP but that was total bullshit.

 

[CrankyJay]

Lots of youngins here need a history lesson.

 

[Wag]

She's still got it. I thought that was great.

 

[Ithil]

Just because somebody was good 50 years ago, doesn't mean they are good now.

All of us get shittier with age.

That's not even what I was talking about.

 

[Schattenjäger]

does she even have a greatest hits

Dude she sang 3 Bond title songs - show some respect

 

[anaron]

does she even have a greatest hits

why you gotta hate brian, why you gotta hate

 

[ComputerMKII]

How exactly is age a bonus point for someone's singing skills? It shouldn't be taken into account.

 

[Scott32020]

Wait....That's it? Damn,I thought they were bringing out all the actors who played 007.

Connery probably wouldn't do it, what a shame

 

[WillyFive]

Fantastic performance, the highlight of the show thus far.

 

[Nobility]

They better bring out Tina Turner to do Goldeneye.

Preach!

 

[Acorn]

I wish Connery still acted

 

[Ripclawe]

OK, here’s what really happened with this tribute to 50 years of James Bond films. The Academy and the show’s producers hoped to gather together all the living 007 actors. But Sean Connery refused to come because he hates the Broccoli family. Something about how he thinks they cheated him out of money he was owed.

Then Pierce Brosnan refused to come because he hates the Broccoli family as well. Something about how he thinks they pulled him from the role too early. Roger Moore was dying to come because, well, he’s a sweetheart. And Daniel Craig would have come because he does what he’s told by the Broccoli family’s Eon Productions whose Bond #23 Skyfall just went through the box office global roof. So there you have it.

aww damn it.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Lawrence theme!

 

[Cheebo]

Preach!

No one really cares about goldeneye, would never happen. Pierce Brosnan era is one the studio likes to pretend didn't happen.

 

[Wilbur]

How exactly is age a bonus point for someone's singing skills? It shouldn't be taken into account.

So if a 8 year old kid could sing as impressively as Tina Turner, you wouldn't take that into account?

 

[MetatronM]

Live Goldfinger was pretty damn awesome. Really nailed the finish.

 

[JABEE]

Is the sound bad for anyone else?

 

[Htown]

HIT THE MUSIC

 

[Dali]

So what was up with sam jackson skipping the intro to the vfx award? Snubbing the whiners or trying to buy them extra time?

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

I can't believe Brave won that one. UGH!

That's fine. It's the Academy's speciallity. If Wreck it Ralph is really good time will not forget it.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

dem hips

 

[thecouncil]

Lawrence theme!

Gorgeous tune.

 

[BertramCooper]

Hey look, it's Jamie Foxx's hot daughter.

...


Oh wait, that's Kerry Washington.

 

[jtb]

So what was up with sam jackson skipping the intro to the vfx award? Snubbing the whiners or trying to buy them extra time?

Neither. Probably just another shitty skit.

 

[Quick]

Jamie Foxx's hair line ain't quitting.

 

[Reiko]

Did Kerry Washington bleach her skin? WTF?

 

[JABEE]

I thought they were doing a bit

 

[ari]

lol, foxx don't give a fuck.

 

[dvdjamm]

does she even have a greatest hits

Now go back to your Kesha CDs

 

[MMBosstones86]

I can't believe Brave won that one. UGH!

dat Pixar. Poor Wreck-It Ralph. Terrible

 

[Ripclawe]

damn it Keri Washington getting on that hollywood diet..

 

[Oersted]

that a..

 

[GraveRobberX]

Shirley Bassey at 76 sounds better than all your pale banjo playing pedestrian faves. Sit down with the hate.

OK Calm Down

Don't need to go all POP-GAF on us in here

I'm sorry but to most watching she really is a nobody, may have been great in her time, but she isn't current or known to the public at large

Half of you cumming buckets are just on it for the Bond nostalgia and nothing else

 

[royalan]

How exactly is age a bonus point for someone's singing skills? It shouldn't be taken into account.

It's impressive because, outside of opera and musical theater, very few popular singers have the skill to maintain their voice as long as Shirley has.

Seriously, you can dislike her all you want, but there was very little technically wrong with that performance. And she still has all the bombast and drama that made her a legend.

But I won't go any further, not the thread for it. *.*

 

[Gorillaz]

Did Kerry Washington bleach her skin? WTF?

yea she has been looking a lot lighter lately.....been wondering that as well

 

[bud]

they put too much red makeup on foxx's face.

 

[MrCompletely]

Video was a bit underwhelming, i thought they would at least bring out the bond actors, and aren't they all still alive?

 

[Nobility]

No one really cares about goldeneye, would never happen. Pierce Brosnan era is one the studio likes to pretend didn't happen.

Terrible shame, one of the best Bond movies and one of the best Bond songs.
