busybeeburns Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 CHRIS MARTIN believes COLDPLAY have failed as a band — because they are not big enough in the karaoke market yet. The frontman has made some pretty outrageous comments recently — like confessing to a secret love of WESTLIFE and PETER ANDRE. But aiming for success with singalong sessions is the most odd yet. He said: “I’m really determined there should be more Coldplay songs in karaoke bars. I’ve been into them and you open the lyrics book and there are a million BEATLES songs. There’s dozens of ABBA, CULTURE CLUB or even BUCKS FIZZ, but Coldplay? There will be two or at best three. If we could just get eight in every bar worldwide I’d be happy. I would know we’ve made it. I think there are three karaoke possibilities on Viva La Vida. It surely has to be the ultimate measure of success.” Chris readily admits his own attempt at karaoke is less than stellar. He added: “I got up in a bar one night with my mate TIM WHEELER (from ASH) and we chose Bohemian Rhapsody. It was appalling.” http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article1258564.ece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guyy Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 It'd be nice if they massacred something else other than Yellow *COUGHFixYouCOUGH* Compared to most of their other songs, that one practically massacres itself. But amazingly, 99% of popular music is still much worse. More on topic...this isn't that surprising. (Besides the part about Chris thinking this means Coldplay is a failure. "It surely has to be the ultimate measure of success?!" :confused:) It's just a side effect of the way everyone either likes Coldplay, or hates them and thinks everyone who likes them is a moron. There's still hope that VLV(ODAAHF?) will change that, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
