June 15, 201016 yr I've never watched Glee, I dont even know what it's about (some kind of musical I guess..) but I liked the idea of the whole band appearing on the show :D Actually, it doesn't matter which show. Just to see them acting would be priceless ;D Edit: Ehm... so they did some covers of Queen :(
June 15, 201016 yr Yay! I love Glee! :cheesy: They make terrific covers, IMO. I actually enjoyed the Queen songs they did. Of course, there's no guarantee it will be good, when they cover a Coldplay song, because Coldplay is the music closest to my heart and I'm therefore biased. The Queen covers were great!! But the Journey ones were so much better. :wacky: (has like, not watched the season finale five times or anything :uhoh2:)
June 15, 201016 yr Oh god, please don't do viva la vida :bigcry: that could be seriously cringe worthy. They will more than likely do that song. :thinking: any glee fans, know the way they sang lily allen's smile, hopefully they would do it like that..? Maybe yellow? No? :laugh3:

I totally agree--I love Glee but love Coldplay more, duh. So this could be really cool or really corny. But I have a feeling it'll be great:smiley: KURT FOR SOLO KURT FOR SOLO KURT FOR SOLO :drunk: YESSS
June 15, 201016 yr The Queen covers were great!! But the Journey ones were so much better. :wacky: (has like, not watched the season finale five times or anything :uhoh2:) I've had Another One Bites the Dust on my mind since Vocal Adrenaline sang it. :D I'm obsessed too. :awesome: How many Beatles songs have they had so far? I liked Hello Goodbye. Oh god, please don't do viva la vida :bigcry: that could be seriously cringe worthy. They will more than likely do that song. :thinking: any glee fans, know the way they sang lily allen's smile, hopefully they would do it like that..? Maybe yellow? No? :laugh3: Yeah, I like that thought. :) Lily Allen's "Smile" was done in a sweet way. I hope they'll do something else than Viva La Vida, which they probably will, especially as Matthew Morrison, lead role, has expressed a wish for that, but really just any Coldplay song. He's playing a Spanish teacher too and it's their biggest hit, so everything points at it.) If they do cover Viva La Vida, I hope one of the guys sing it and they all sing as a choir on the "woah"s.
June 15, 201016 yr No No No No No Nooooooooooooooooo Did they lock Will in a well or something? :uhoh:
June 15, 201016 yr They never said no in the first place though, according to Phil. I don't mind Glee at all and before all this crap started wouldn't have minded their songs being used at all but this Ryan Murphy creater guy is a complete and utter tool!
June 15, 201016 yr It's a shitty American tv show for fuck's sake and the people who watch it prefer the Glee versions of the songs anyway and honestly is Glee really the way you would want your fans to discover your band?! Stop with the accusations and judging, please. :thinking: I watch Glee and I really like most of the Glee versions of the songs, but that does not mean that I prefer their versions over the originals. In fact I've gotten to know a lot of great songs through Glee, that I wouldn't have paid attention to if not through that. Do you know that the sales for the songs in their original versions by the original musicians go up after they've been featured in an episode of Glee? I see nothing wrong with discovering bands and music that way. Would you react the same way as you do to this if a Coldplay song was to be sung by other favourite singers of yours in your favourite TV show? Just because you don't like the show for whatever reason, doesn't mean that Coldplay go to some lower level by agreeing to letting them cover their songs. As we all know, Coldplay are just nice fellas - they just lend their songs to a TV show that celebrates music (and covered The Beatles, Queen and other big ones). A show Coldplay might actually like. They're not selling their souls to Death and All His Friends or anything. Don't watch it if you don't like it. Don't panic. I totally agree--I love Glee but love Coldplay more, duh. So this could be really cool or really corny. But I have a feeling it'll be great:smiley: YESSS Yes, exactly. Kurt is a really good soprano, so that could work quite well. :awesome:
June 15, 201016 yr Umm...what about when Phil posted on Coldplay.com that the boys never said no to Glee? And now that fucker Ryan Murphy says that they called and apologized? When they never said no in the first place?
June 15, 201016 yr OMG and they'll all wear raggedy lil Viva outfits and OMGZ :wacky: Kurt is a really good soprano, so that could work quite well. :awesome: Kurt's so cute. :drunk:
June 16, 201016 yr I used to like Glee...until it came back from hiatus. It's gotten extremely stupid. And Ryan Murphy is a lying son of a bitch.
June 16, 201016 yr I don't know what really happened, so I'm not to judge anyone. Maybe EMI said no without asking Coldplay (as someone said). Kurt's so cute. :drunk: Yes! :wacky: Kurt is one of my favourite characters on the show. Can you imagine what it would be like without him? :blank: He wasn't originally planned to be in the show, but Chris Colfer got the role written for him, because they liked him so much. :nice:
June 16, 201016 yr When they perform Viva La Vida, knowing they will, it will be utterly cringe-worthy. There, I said it. I think I'll watch it just to measure the cringe it instilled in me.
June 16, 201016 yr IMO a Glee cover of Viva la Vida would be pretty cool. It would kind of be like their cover of Don't Stop Believing and Finn would prolly get the lead. :thinking: Yes! :wacky: Kurt is one of my favourite characters on the show. Can you imagine what it would be like without him? :blank: He wasn't originally planned to be in the show, but Chris Colfer got the role written for him, because they liked him so much. :nice: I know lol did you see his sailor suit thing on the season finale? :blush: LOL
June 16, 201016 yr Coldplay apologize for Glee snub i think this has been posted before. Coldplay apologize for Glee snub LONDON - Coldplay have issued an apology to the makers of hit US show “Glee” for not allowing them to use their music for a special episode. The band has now sent an apology letter to the maker of the show Ryan Murphy and authorized him the full use of their entire music catalogue. After the success of a Madonna tribute show in April, the band admitted they “were wrong” to have rejected the opportunity. “At the beginning a lot of people didn’t know what we were and asked to see pages (in advance), but I refused because I didn’t want to set precedent of them having any involvement,” The Daily Star quoted Murphy as telling The Hollywood Reporter. He added: “My favourite rejection was Bryan Adams. Coldplay and Bryan Adams were really the only rejections. But Coldplay called a week ago and said, ‘We’re sorry, you can have our catalogue’.” (ANI) entire music catalogue? i'm disappointed to be honest.
June 16, 201016 yr I don't know what really happened, so I'm not to judge anyone. Maybe EMI said no without asking Coldplay (as someone said). Even if EMI did do that all the quotes from the creators about it have been snidey. Personally I think Coldplay should have told them to do one. But there you go. I have no problem with the cast performing the songs though, will be interesting. Just not a fan of how the Glee people have handled the whole situation.
June 16, 201016 yr i think this has been posted before. Coldplay apologize for Glee snub entire music catalogue? i'm disappointed to be honest. Merged with existing thread :)
June 16, 201016 yr That's really quite interesting. Does it sound real, though? I feel like this story doesn't jive with Phil's remarks on the website. Anyone else get that sense?
June 17, 201016 yr So Coldplay are definately doing GLEE now? ? Apologise in advance if this is old news today - been out of the loop for a bit! http://www.examiner.com/x-42456-Glee-Examiner~y2010m6d16-Coldplay-signs-on-for-Glee-but-what-about-Justin-Bieber http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/coldplay-bows-to-irresistible-force-of-glee-2002684.html
