He's obviously changing, and I think he's actually becoming less cocky. Maybe after the skyrocket success of AROBTTH he might have gotten a bit of a big head, but now he realizes how precious his time in the music business is, he even believes his own song-writing ability will dry up soon.

 

I hope he passes by this phase, cause I actually prefer him with at least a little confidence.

Well, his voice was acting strange a month ago...possibly! :D

Of course he has changed - he's ten years older. But at the same time, I'm not sure that he really has radically changed hi personality. He's always been a old mix of manic over confidence along with bouts of total paranoia.

 

I think the main reason he appears to have changed is actually a result of the media. What has been written about Chris, and how he has been portrayed in the media, makes it seem like he is a very different person. But everyone should remember that the media are very selective on what they write about and quite often it is either not true or exaggerated. So often you read an article based on one quote from a long interview - a single sentence - totally taken out of context.

 

I think people underestimate how much influence the media has on people's perception of celebrities. The media can completely turn people against a person, just by how they write about them. Gwyneth is a perfect example - she says she likes yoga and she's suddenly boring. One misquote about her fellow Americans and she's been vilified by the whole of America.

 

As for lightening up about the paps and the media. In an ideal world I think it would be great for him to be carefree about it. But in reality, he gets it all day, everyday. People need to imagine what it would be like to be chased - literally - every time you leave your house, even when you are with your babies. Then ask if you could really 'lighten up' about it. It's easy to say, but I imagine it's not so easy for the people who have to live with it day in.

chris martin is not changing.......he is a human sometime he feels high and sometime low

I prefer the term "growing" - and getting better at making great music! But yes, the pressures of family life, fame, and the papparazzi can be a bit much for anyone! If you've ever been spied on, ever have lost some of your privacy / been intruded upon, it does make it hard to retrieve a certain sense of intimacy and sincerity (especially if your vocation is producing music that is intimate, sincere, introspective, and sincere!).

But hey, their latest album is most excellent, so apparently the bumps in life he's gone through have been minor enough to allow him to continue flourishing!
