Sam Smith's Bond Theme: Writing's on the Wall

"BBC entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson said it was "good enough, but not a classic'"

"In the new Bond song, Sam Smith sounds like he's actually suffocating when he says "I'm suffocating." esquire.com/entertainment/…" -Tweet

“They just might as well have had justin bieber do it as far as the quality of the song goes” -Peer Comment

"I don't like the new Bond song. Why can't we just have Adele sing them all?" -Tweet

"Sam Smith does actually sound drunk on that Bond song doesn't he?" -Tweet

"Heard a song on Spotify and was like Ugh, fast forward. It's the new James Bond song so." -Tweet

"Pharmaceutical companies rejoice as all production of sleeping pills halted after first play of Falsetto Smith's Bond song #bondtheme" -Tweet

"That’s pretty bad. The Bond franchise needs a overhaul and sorry music like this as a theme song isn’t helping." -Variety Comment

"Horribly sophomoric! He actually goes flat at the end of an early phrase and it made me cringe immediately. Both the song AND the singer are inappropriate for Bond." -Variety Comment

"This song is about someone farting in your face." -Rolling Stone Comment

"Great job Sam, Disclosure and the rest of the production team... Play it again!" -Rolling Stone Comment

"thank goodness Radiohead didn't tarnish their rep with this dreck. nice sissy crooning. Let's make it Janes Blonde." -Rolling Stone Comment

"It may have to grow on me, but at first listen, it doesn't feel very Bond. It's definitely not an instant classic like Adele's Skyfall, which felt like it fit right in with the old Shirley Bassey 007 themes. But it's also not a vomit inducer like Madonna's Die Another Day debacle." -Rolling Stone Comment

"Nope. Beautiful voice but you could barely tell it's a Bond song. Adele remains on top." -People Comment

"So James Bond style.... or try very much to be ! Still good voice" -People Comment

"Awful, it just does not make me think James Bond and the singer, well I have heard cats that sound better." -Guardian Comment

"Ridiculous falsetto. It sounds like a dolphin has been taught to sing. The worst Bond song ever. Love Sam Smith, but I hate this." -Guardian Comment

"I like it..." -Guardian Comment

"Tune is good but Smith is squawking far too much." -Guardian Comment

"you know.... it's not too late to have adele redo the bond song, rather than having to stick w whatever cat puke sam smith sang" -Tweet

"New James Bond song by @samsmithworld is too melancholic. open.spotify.com/track/4oWmroat…" -Tweet

"i'm gonna listen to the sam smith james bond song and die it's all fine" -Tweet

"At 1 p.m., John Boehner will hold a news conference to unveil the new Bond song for "Spectre'" -Tweet

"i keep waiting for the beat to drop in the new bond song and have it turn into "i will survive" is that weird" -Tweet

"Let's all be honest. We'll hate Sam Smith's Bond song until we see it with the opening credits, then we'll think it's awesome." -Tweet

"Judging from Sam Smith's Bond song, we're in for a two and a half hour therapy session about the girl that got away. Oddly inappropriate." -Tweet

"My excitement for SPECTRE is inversely proportionate to my hatred for The Writing's On The Wall. Worst Bond song ever. Appallingly bad." -Tweet

""It’s so whiny and sleepy." Michael K's response to the Sam Smith Bond song is indentical to my thoughts on Sam Smith generally" -Tweet
