Adele Vs. Sam Smith? How can you possibly compare these two considering they're kind of the male and female forms of each other, both saddled with unrivaled ridiculous musical talent. While Adele's amazing Skyfall is a bit more more "Bond" feeling, Smith's Writing's on the Wall is also a musical masterpiece. The famous opening "Gun Barrel" sequence that is carried throughout all of the Bond movies allows both of these songs to be experienced in such an amazing visual and audial way. In Skyfall, the opening sequence is under water with of course, tons of foreshadowing and amazing graphics to foreshadow and get us wondering. While I believe Skyfall is a better Bond song, Spectre's opening credits with Writing's on the Wall is way better graphically and visually. Maybe I'm just a sucker for the day of the dead, but the use of the sugar skulls were a perfect contrast for Sam Smith's haunting vocal delivery.
