October 2, 200916 yr By searching Coldplay pics with Google I found an articlle on "triplem.com". It is about Michael Jackson fans, who hate Coldplays verson of his song "Billie Jean". I can't understand them:veryangry2: There is the article: http://www.triplem.com.au/melbourne/music/news//blog/coldplays-michael-jackson-tribute/20090716-4taw.html
October 2, 200916 yr almost every fan of an artist or band hates any cover done, it just their natural instinct. Like I hate that stupid Punk Goes Crunk crap, and the fact that Panic at the Disco covered Radiohead...but yeah, i guess it is somewhat stupid, especially since it is meant to be somewhat of a tribute to MJ.
October 2, 200916 yr :o I am surprised. I mean, they don't have to like it, but they could admit the performance got quality? I mean, you can make a good cover or a bad cover...
October 2, 200916 yr Wanna know the IMPORTANT fact? WHY IN FUCKING HELL did Coldplay made a version of "Billie Jean"?
October 2, 200916 yr It's a shame they can't just see it as the lovely tribute that it, is regardless of whether you like their style or not. It's not like they are trying to do it better than Michael Jackson - it's just a nice gesture to someone they admired. It's not a big deal so I don't see why people get their knickers in a twist about it :confused:
October 2, 200916 yr Author The cover version is not something like "Hey! We can make this song better than Michael Jackson!", but it's made because of respect to M.J.!

Yeah, and like when the JB made the Fix You cover. But don't think I am comparing Coldplay to JB BY ALL MEANS, they suck bigtime. But if someone made a cover of the band you like, they get defensive. I really like the cover, and it's a nice thing to do for MJ, but I really wouldnt expect them to like it, just because its MJ fans, you know? Im sure deep down they like it.

October 2, 200916 yr When you come to think of it, a cover is a way of showing respect. Not all of them are good, but the thought counts :)

October 2, 200916 yr Well most here hate it when someone covers a Coldplay song, who cares?? Coldplay showed a nice bit of respect for the Man, but face it, most non Coldplay fans would find it ridiculous:D I found it to be pretty good myself.
October 2, 200916 yr Coldplay's version is currently better than anything Michael Jackson can come up with live.
October 2, 200916 yr oh i love the cover! but thats cause im a coldplay fan. duhh!:D but i have to say, when i hear coldplay covers from other artist, i also don't like it. maybe i can understand those people somewhere.;)
October 2, 200916 yr Coldplay's version is currently better than anything Michael Jackson can come up with live. Ouch! Being equally black-humoured though, I'd say it was a close-run thing :laugh3:
October 2, 200916 yr Coldplay's version is currently better than anything Michael Jackson can come up with live. Drops money in Ian's tip jar, you'll be here all week right?:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:
October 2, 200916 yr Obviously Coldplay's version was great. But I think any fan would feel the same way, if it was THEIR band being covered. Don't we all hate the Jonas Brothers' cover of Fix You? *vomits*:P
