i'm running a Casino Royale fever, and i've been spinning Chris Cornell, who sang the theme song You Know My Name for the movie. those who find his voice familiar, he's the lead singer of Audioslave, who had a massive hit called "Like A Stone" and disappeared.
those faithful American Idol followers/ David Cook fans will know that at some point, DC covered Michael Jackson's trademark irreplaceable hit Billie Jean, and got all the credits for making the song "his own" with the new arrangement (even thou Ryan Seacrest announced it prior to his performance tt it's Chris' version). and there was this huge controversy back then over DC's version. well, it brought fame to both sides. and i guess in order to prove his credibility, tt's how DC came up with that now iconic version of Mariah Carey's "Always be my baby". so it's a blessing in disguise probably.
Chris Cornell's Billie Jean
David Cook's Billie Jean. i forgot how pudgy DC was back then, before tt wonder haircut.
and my earworm of the moment, YOU KNOW MY NAME!!! this is the opening sequence of the movie. (note to self: next time when i learn how to play guitar i will transform this to emo song!)
Live version
