IMO, the boys were right to say no to Glee - nothing against it, but to be honest, it's not the kind of look they would probably want. I wouldn't ever assume that they're 'pretentious rock stars' just because they didn't let a TV show get the rights to do a cover of one of their songs and also, Coldplay doesn't go too well amid the likes of Lady Gaga, other (dreadful :lol:) pop artists. They're in a league of their own and if they want to keep their music as special as it currently is, then that's up to them... Wow, mini-rant over :laugh3:

Are they really well known or unknown?

They're not mainstream are they?..

Thank god they said no. Good for them. Not giving in to crappy teenage commercialism.

 

:lol: I love Glee and it's a hell of a long time since I was a crappy teenager !

 

I think it would have been fantastic to see them doing Coldplay.

:lol:

Although I don't watch Glee, I know it's far from "teenage commercialism". Most teenagers probably wouldn't appreciate it, actually.

 

Still, I'm glad they said no, mainly because I'm not sure their songs would translate well to the series . On that note, I'm almost positive they'd have used Viva La Vida, since it's the most easily adaptable to that kind of arrangement.

It's probably a blessing that Coldplay said no to Glee. I like the fact that they try not to publicize themselves so much. :smug:

 

Considering they're one of the most well known bands on the planet, I doubt they really need to publicise themselves. ;)

Was this tongue in cheek or?

They are.

They're are some people who think they aren't.

We shouldn't really care.

 

Glee creator Ryan Murphy has revealed some of the artists who will be featured in upcoming episodes. Speaking to E! News, Murphy said that Coldplay and Bryan Adams had refused permission to use their tracks, but revealed that Lady GaGa will be covered soon. "We're doing an episode that's a tribute to theatricality," he explained. "We reached out to Lady GaGa and she said, 'Yes, I'd love to be a part of it'. So we will be doing Lady GaGa this season."

 

Murphy also revealed that Madonna was helpful when he asked her permission to make an episode based on her songs. "I've worked with Madonna before," he said. "I admire her greatly and I'm friends with her a little bit socially. I called her up and wrote her a letter and said we want to write up a tribute to you and she said yes and she co-operated in every way possible. We do ten songs altogether. Jane [Lynch, who plays Sue Sylvester] is going to do 'Vogue'."

 

Meanwhile, Matthew Morrison, who plays Will Schuester, revealed that he will perform with Neil Patrick Harris when the How I Met Your Mother star guests on the show. "We have two duets," he explained. "Aerosmith and Billy Joel."

 

Glee returns to the US on April 13 on Fox and continues in the UK on Mondays at 9pm on E4.

Bittersweet news. I have a love-hate relationship with that show, but I can also see why Coldplay turned it down. It would have been nice for a Coldplay song to appear on that song, but at the same time, they'd probably just do Viva La Vida.

That's my boys :smug:

 

this:smug:

I dunno if anyone thought this before, but when I've been watching Glee, I keep thinking Finn reminds me ever so slightly of someone. I think if his hair was red, he looks a tiiiiiiiiiiny bit like Phil :)

YAY! Will Champion Seal of Disapproval strikes again!! Go :will:

 

Damn, now I need to find that thread to update it :thinking:

I can see a slight resemblance. :wacko: They're both good-looking fellas.

 

On another note, I really wonder what a GLEE version of a Coldplay song would sound like. :thinking:

Ive never seen that tv prog

^ Me neither, don't do it. Be one of the few people who haven't.. like Avatar.

Thank fuck they're not saying yes to that horrible show. Excellent choice, whomever that was.

If Coldplay says yes:

 

OHHH YAY. I love that show.. CANT WAIT TO SEE COLDPLAY ON IT. Their song is gonna sound sooooooooooooo good! Coldplay always does the right thing!

 

If Coldplay says no:

 

Ohhhh, thats great! Those guy's cant do Coldplay, they'd ruin it. Cause you know Coldplay is SOOOOO much different than all other music. SUCH A GOOD DECISION. Coldplay never goes wrong.

YAY! Will Champion Seal of Disapproval strikes again!! Go :will:

:smug: one of the reason I love that man, he make the best decisions. (even though I don't forget him for saying yes to Girls aloud for Wembley... :facepalm: he must have been ill that day XD)

Uh, have you seen Girls aloud? Will is smart, but he's still a man! Haha :laugh3:

But the thing is, and judging your reply to this you probably don't agree: Glee really is a horrible show. And I'm guessing 99% of the people here agree.

I'm a girl, so I don't care about how good looking they are...just plain jalousy to haven't their body :P

That's my boys :smug:

 

Right!:smug:

Glee minus Coldplay equals sad Hayley. :sad:

Agreed. I really liked it when it first came on. Then I fell behind. Then I realized how lame of a show it really is. I mean, they could at least make up some of their own music, then rather sing songs we've all heard a hundred times.
