British pop icon Elton John has joined composer David Arnold in harsh criticism of Madonna's title song for the newest James Bond film, Die Another Day. British journalists have been collecting this negative feedback from well known musicians since the British newspaper Sunday Express broke a story two weeks ago about David Arnold's disgust with Madonna's title song. Arnold described it as "The worst Bond song ever" and stressed that he broke Bond-score norms by refusing to use any of her "tune-less" composition in his score."Madonna had no place in my musical world for Bond," said Arnold. "She has endured stinging criticism but no-one has criticised me for not working her song into the film score. She got three minutes, I got 92." He continued by addressing the absence of the song as adaptation in the score, stating: "Ideally, I would have liked to make some musical sense of her song... but I couldn't." The newest bashing of the song comes from Elton John, who publicly denounced Madonna's talents in the same newspaper and added that the producers of the film "should have gone for somebody like Lulu and Shirley Bassey, or maybe I'm in that league." Instead, Madonna's song "hasn't got a tune,"
Elton John said. "James Bond themes are usually very camp and this one's different. It is the worst Bond tune of all time." Speculation in London has also indicated that when Prince Philip heard that Madonna would be writing and performing the Bond song, he responded, "Are we going to need ear plugs?"
