When Mathis pulled out of the project as he was unhappy with the final song with just weeks to go, producers hastily drafted in Bond stalwart Shirley Bassey. As always, she lived up to the task brilliantly.

I concur - lame. I didn't even get a chance to vote. I wanted to vote for AVTAK by Duran.

Oh - I take back the "lame" part - I thought the first one I saw was supposed to be the best. Yay - it's Duran Duran. As it should be. Even my mom loves this song!
