Winehouse Too Messed Up for 007 Tune?

Posted May 3, 08 4:01 PM CDT in Arts & Living, Gossip

(Newser) – Drug-addled Amy Winehouse won’t be crooning James Bond's next theme song because, her producer says, she is too troubled to make music. Mark Ronson said they started work on the track but he grew tired of her erratic behavior, the Sun reports. A Winehouse spokesman blames a creative spat for the song stoppage.

The song won’t materialize “unless by some miracle of science it gets recorded and someone sings a vocal,” Ronson said. “I’m not sure Amy is ready to work on music yet.”

It has been announced that Amy Winehouse is no longer in the run for any music for The New 007 Movie. Per Sky News: Mark Ronson said he has been forced to stop work with her on their collaboration for the next Bond movie. He said."We tried to work for a little bit. I'm not sure she's ready to work on music yet." A spokesman for Winehouse has said: "Mark has presented a track to Amy, but she had other ideas about the direction it should take. "She has always made her own decisions about her music." **********************************************************************Update******************************************************************* We here at Atlantic News have been contacted by Jeff Greenberg of Greenberg & Silverman, the Management Company of Valare' ( http://greenbergsilverman.sampasite.com ) and have been advised this singer would be a shoe in for the project (you may listen here- http://www.myspace.com/valareworldwide ) While we are merely reporting the news and are not their PR Company, we do believe they may be on to something. After all, Ramone (Valare's Producer) of Greenberg & Silverman was accused of being 'Clive Davis' in the following article that predicted the demise of Kelly Clarkson's Record after Kelly told Clive to 'shove it." Looks like Ramone was right on the money here: http://www.xtra.ca/public/viewstory.aspx?AFF_TYPE=3&STORY_ID=3268&PUB_TEMPLATE_ID=1 And Here (see comment 4): http://www.monstersandcritics.com/music/reviews/article_1328387.php/Album_Review_Kelly_Clarkson_%96_%91My_December%92 While the aforementioned Artist, Valare' has only one song posted by the name of Show Off, you'll see what we mean when you hear it. Over 100,000 MySpace hits in a little under One Month, and still unsigned... The Artist instantly reminds you of authentic Tina Turner with several Horn Sections as well as Solo's accompanying her. Her vocals are the true quintessence of raw talent from the factory...with a substantial hit of Soul unheard of today. No Vocal coach...just GOD according to Jeff.
