Princess Of China

Given Oracle's last statements, this song is "not good enough" without Rihanna, and it seems impractical for her to ALWAYS be with Coldplay just for one song. Unless they tour together. Would that be a good thing? Who knows? What are your thoughts? Coldplay performing the song without her? Or doing a different version (an acoustic one perhaps?!) Or having Rihanna ALWAYS there?

I'm starting to become annoyed with her presence on albums I've been anticipating. She was on the last Eminem album (which ended up being as bad as his last few), the last Kanye West album (although even she couldn't stop it from being amazing) and now she's gonna be on Mylo Xyloto. She's quickly becoming the most annoying person in music to me. Surely, someone else is disappointed she'll appear? Hopefully she won't be used very prominently, similar to the aforementioned Kanye West album where she played on All of the Lights. She was tolerable there, it wasn't overused. I'm dreading that this will be an overused guest spot and it'll try to throw it in your face.

I can't bring myself to believing that "Princess of China" was written with Rihanna in mind..... I just can't...I know the Oracle said so but...really???? I always thought that once they started playing it or something (prior to recording, once they had finished writing it) that they realized it would make a good duet and THEN through of Rihanna. :shocked2::shocked2::shocked2:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJCJe8hRFrM]YouTube - ‪Princess of China - Coldplay live at Rock im Park in Nuremberg 2011‬‏[/ame] So...how do you like it?

They might not have liked the the song so they given up on the song performances... I love the song too bad if that's what's really happening ...

just a little bit? :drunk: sorry that i ve just stolen the idea for the thread title from the "Does this song remind anyone of Kanye?"-thread :rolleyes:

Q. Hey Oracle! Just heard Paradise. ITS AMAZING!! Love it! But after, I saw news that Rihanna was going to be featured in Princess of China?? I heard the original via YouTube, and I LOVE IT AS IS. Is Rihanna going to be featured? Thanks! Lots of fangirl love! Kelly The Oracle replies: I've had a lot of mail about this since the news broke. The first time I heard POC it was just an instrumental. The second time I heard it Chris & Rihanna's vocals had been added. I have to say it sounds amazing. I then heard the band perform it live. I liked it a lot, but not quite as much. For me it was wise to drop it from the set because it simply didn't sound the same with…

Was PoC ever filmed in the format of the rest of the Rock am Ring festival streams? It's kinda weird that we can only find handheld videos of it (nor is it in the official setlist).

Lovers In Japan SHOULD be a staple in the tour setlist IMO. That song is incredible. I am just hoping they are waiting for the next tour to combine it with say, Princess of China. ::crosses fingers:: opinions??

I dunno why, but for some reason this song reminds me of Kanye West. If I over think it a bit, it could be that Homecoming, the song Chris has a part in, is on the Graduation album, which has purple album artwork and PoC has purple lights everywhere. But, again, that's me over thinking it. Anyone else?

Phil just tweeted it!!!!! Yes!!!!

After listening 534 times Princess Of China in nice quality on YouTube, you know you have to download it to put it on iTunes. Then, you need an artwork! I quickly made two of those, in Coldplay's new style, so if anybody wants one, here they are. Hope you like it! #1 #2

It's such an amazing song! I've listened to it so many times! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68h3fl5rctI]Coldplay - Princess of China {Better Quality} - YouTube[/ame] Can you really say a song like that will be left off?? And if you say it's going to be left off because of the lyrics, no one can understand the lyrics in the first place so... I still don't believe you. Its structure is so awesome!!!!
