June 2, 200818 yr I watched the performance again hoping it would be better the second time. The rest of the band was amazing but Chris' vocals weren't really the best.
June 2, 200818 yr A bit misleading on MTV's part though. I'm relieved though, in a way. Agreed I was worried they were going to duet with PCD :stunned:
June 2, 200818 yr if they meant they were dueting with themselves, i think that's completely lame :laugh4: i suppose your're right, though. what else could it be?! they're playing it again on MTV...i'll catch it again, hopefully. though i do have other things to do...
June 2, 200818 yr A bit misleading on MTV's part though. I'm relieved though, in a way. yeah it didn't really make sense for them to do something like that right now...phew...just thanking god it wasn't anything to do with the PCD:laugh3:
June 2, 200818 yr i didn't find the performance anything bad! but the critics are seeming to be active here!:confused:
June 2, 200818 yr Pathetic performance. Karaoke. Who do they think they are fooling ? "Oh I'm playing the violins chords on my cute little keyboard, hop, i go away and it's still playing." The only live part was Chris' vocals and it wasn't even good. Ridiculous awards show anyway, meaningless, pointless... well It's MTV. Next time i hear any member of the band talking about "resisting the authority", I punch him in the face.
June 2, 200818 yr Just done watching! I know it wasn't their best performance, but come on! they haven't play live for a while!!! I was suffering just like them!!! It sounded very good anyways!!! I LOVED Chris spirit!!! Not enough support from the audience though!!! I would have screamed much louder than those persons there!! congratulations COLDPLAY!!!
June 2, 200818 yr yeah it didn't really make sense for them to do something like that right now...phew...just thanking god it wasn't anything to do with the PCD:laugh3: Looking forward to the C&J interview tomorrow now. Want to see what they say about the whole thing.
June 2, 200818 yr Matter of speech....but I should have looked at the poster...sorry! You can call me Sir if you wish :P :D
June 2, 200818 yr Looking forward to the C&J interview tomorrow now. Want to see what they say about the whole thing. me too!;)

June 2, 200818 yr The "They haven't played live in a while" excuse is a bit flimsy. Any other band would have done a better job.
June 2, 200818 yr You, sir, are an ass. I'm just lucid. Well, I'm not because I'm pissed but come on if you're going to play on this crappy tv channel, at least show them what you got

Next time i hear any member of the band talking about "resisting the authority", I punch him in the face. Ever heard of live looping? Radiohead do it. I don't mean to be rude but you really don't know what you're talking about. Why do you think they gave into authority by playing this show? Maybe they wanted to do it? 'Resisting authority' doesn't have to mean not doing stuff like MTV. Also, I think we're all forgetting that Viva la Vida is a brilliant song so even if they weren't too great tonight the music itself was ace.

That's my point, except for the loop, what else do you hear ?
June 2, 200818 yr The "They haven't played live in a while" excuse is a bit flimsy. Any other band would have done a better job. They tend to be more down to earth and "human" than other bands, part of their charm actually. It's quite natural to be very nervous playing a new song for the first time in a few years that requires a whole strings section live on a place like MTV with hundreds of celebrities who hate them deep down and millions of people watching. Then again of course there was the terrible PCD performance.
June 2, 200818 yr Honestly, my favorite part was that Edward Norton introduced them. When he came out I was something like "OH MY GOD. ED! AND COLDPLAY!" And then my head exploded. I didn't think the performance was all that bad, but something happened to our DVR when we tried to rewind it for my father, and it got stuck in a groove and played from the second verse five times in a row. :lol: Eh, it was MTV anyway, and MTV consistently manages to destroy everything it touches. It must have been the brainwaves from the legions of disgusting teenage girls who were hoping for someone like 50 Cent that killed it.
June 2, 200818 yr Video link? YOUTUBE anyone!? :D It got buried about ten pages back... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG8IKgDYyqE EDIT:
