Wow... I was waiting for them to use Jack White for a Bond theme. He's a good fit for the "Hard" direction they're taking the franchise. Very cool.

I guess this means Amy Winehouse is officially out of the running now? I know I read somewhere the producers had originally tapped her for the QOS theme. Not surprising they ditched her, though...

Kinda a weird combo, but it could be something cool.

i still wish they kept Amy Winehouse to do the song. but with all her craziness and medial issues she had to drop out.

But Alicia Keys and The White Stripes are cool to!

either one would have been really classy.

God, grow up people and quit talking about all of those stupid teenie boppers for a Bond theme. You will realize how ridiculous you sound once you stop watching 6 hours of MTV a day.

The White Stripes are one of a few bands that are still around that I listen to so good choice. Chris Cornell now Jack White? Very nice!

Odd combination - but Jack White is pretty much incapable of writing a bad song and Alicia Keys is one of the few 'soul' singers to actually have soul in her performance. Bound to be an improvement on that dire Cornell number from Casino
