Of course. Not everyone's deluded.:lol:

Don't believe the hype!!;)

Exactly. Yet another example of somebody being rewarded for mediocrity.:dozey:

 

Maybe the band thought it was good and wanted to be nice to her, though

You mean because they felt sorry for her? Now that I could believe!:D

I really can't accept they thought her version was good, though.:dozey:

Ok but Mark =/= Coldplay so you don't really have any idea about whether or not they liked it. It's their right to send somebody two of their CDs and a few signatures if they liked a performance.

 

Chris Martin likes Beyonce anyway, he basically has shit taste in music these days if you ask me. The point is they are a bunch of nice people who were just doing a nice gesture toward an artist they apparently like. Chill out.

I never believe the hype. :laugh3: The X factor is ever so overated I don't care if Coldplay love it.

Neither do you.:dozey:

Still could have been organised by one of their PR reps.;)

I'm not a big Beyonce fan, but at least she's talented and doesn't talk like an airhead.;)

Neither do I. Calvin Harris was the best thing that's happened to it!!:P

I didn't say I did, yes of course it could have been but I doubt the band would send her all those signatures if they hated her performance, and the way an artist talks doesn't reflect the musical talent level they have. Fantasia Whatserface, eg, from American Idol, is a stupid bitch from what I could tell when I used to watch the show, but damn can she sing, with feeling, emotion, what-have-you.

Still doesn't make her credible, though.;)

What does this have to do with Fantasia? Again, I'm not a fan, but she's a hundred times the singer Stacey is. She actually has range.;)

1) Ok, I really and genuinely get it that you don't like her, but once again my point is that the band probably liked her performance

 

2) Well you can tell by the little "eg" I used that I was using her as an example to refute your point about singers who are airheads that was implying that airhead = bad in the music industry.

That's something we may never know.;)

I don't recall Fantasia ever talking like an "airhead", whether she is one or not. The difference is, she's an immensely talented singer, unlike Stacey, who is mediocre at best.;)

1) Right but a band sending a woman two CDs signed with obvious oodles of affection is logically more likely to be indicative of a band liking the performance than not.

 

2) If you ask me Fantasia always seemed a little shallow as far as personality goes, but anyway, that's irrelevant, my point is that the shallowness of the personality is just a ridiculous way to judge a singer, if you ask me Chris Martin also has acted like an utter retard on multiple occasions (and I still like him ok, don't call me a jaded fan) but he is obviously an amazing and talented musician. Intelligence =/= emotional capacity. Whether or not Stacy Salomon is a good artist.

I believe the whole package is important, talent being by far the most important. The point is, Fantasia deservedly won because of her singing talent. Stacey has very little of this, and the same goes for most of the other finalists.;)

Seems to me like they put in far too much niceness on the packages for it to just be a PR stunt. The little ghost monster drawing, etc.

 

And whether or not you are right about Stacey Salomon being a good singer, my point is that the band may or may not have the same opinion as you. Really I don't see how this is so hard for you to get, I think I've said as much a few times now.

They may or may not do, but that's irrelevant. I'm entitled to my opinion, as is Hans.;)

I just watched the video of her singing - what I really noticed and liked was how they kept referring to picking a Coldplay song to sing as a bold move and that they are difficult songs to sing.

 

Coldplay +1

True, but that's why I believe the vast majority of singers shouldn't attempt them, as they're almost certainly going to come up short.;)

Last year there was a girl (Diane Vickers) who totally ruined "Yellow", for example.:dozey:

It makes me shudder to think of it even now.;)

I disagree.;)

:dead:

 

Of COURSE you are entitled to your own opinion. My POINT is this:

 

Coldplay's opinion

and

Mark's opinion

 

are not always the same

 

:thumbsup:

That's quite possibly true, but in this instance, we don't even know if that's correct, as it's totally speculative.;)

Right! Good Job Mark! :thumbsup: It is totally speculative.

 

Holy God I think I my points may have just made an impression on you :cheesy:

Not really, because it doesn't change my opinion.:dozey:

I still think she's an airhead with very limited talent, who can't sing Coldplay songs very well.

Not really, because it doesn't change my opinion.:dozey:

 

But I wasn't trying to change your opinion, I was trying to get you to realize that

 

COLDPLAY's opinion

and

MARK's opinion

 

are Not Always The Same

 

and then you said "well this is all speculation"

 

which was tantamount to saying "Yes this is all speculation" which implies that "therefore my opinion and Coldplay's opinion are

 

Not Always The Same on account of this being speculation"

Which is all totally meaningless, and has nothing whatsoever to do with the case in point.:dozey:

Anyway, even if the boys do think she's useless, they certainly won't say it in public, as it would be bad PR.

Okay, I really hate the way she sings and I think there's absolutely no emotion in her cover, but that was very nice from the guys :nice:

 

Maybe they liked it, maybe not, anyway I think they appreciated the fact she chosed their song !
