^ He is probably searching through all of HIS songs for the ones in which he sounds most like Chris! :lol:

Probably! :lol:

Well, if these demos were supposedly SUPA ENKRIPTED, would EMI really know what the demos are? What they sound like?

I mean, Coldplay probably have a ton of songs that are possibly on this new album and I kinda doubt EMI would know.

Maybe this surveyor person thought it was convincing enough to be Chris and took it down.

It's not like they'd ask the band if it was beforehand, it went down in 1 day.

 

Then again, SUPA ENKRIPTED for Chris might not be saying much. But you'd think they would be, huh?

 

Agreed. I would put money on the fact that EMI has no idea what the work the guys have done thus far, demos or otherwise, sound like, are called, or how many there are. I doubt anyone besides the band members, Eno, the studio techs, and a few other people have any idea. I maintain that EMI took it down as a precaution, not because they have any information on whether it's legit or not. The only other thing I can imagine happening is that someone that DOES know what's in those songs found it on YouTube and called EMI to take it down, but I'm not very quick to believe that mostly because I'm about 80% sure that this isn't Coldplay based on sound of the voice and the quality and style of the recording. If this was obviously Coldplay, then I'd say yes, that's what happened, but for now I just figure EMI is just on the fence about who the artist is as we are, but took them down just in case.

 

Think about it this way: do you think Chris really rings up someone at EMI every time he has a song idea that may or may not mature into something strong enough to go on an album? No. He probably has hundreds of demos, both in the Beehive "vault" that he's mentioned and on his personal computer etc. that EMI knows nothing about. I don't think the fact that EMI removed it means squat. An idea that strengthens the case of it being legit, though: I think in the past Chris has said he records song ideas on his mobile phone and sends them to himself. The bad sound/echoeyness/quality of this recording makes me think it's just a quick hash job rather than something done in a studio (we know how good their studio demos sound)...or it's just an imitator layering on effects to cover up the differences in voice. :shrug:

If EMI really did delete the videos, then of course it is real. If not - I am undecided.

 

EDIT: Hm. EMI did in fact take take off the video. I guess it is real.

New video from TheColdplayUnheard uploaded today on youtube :

I am suspicious about this one (as well). The sound is so ... unclear, I don't know :(.

^

fix you wtf

not ftw... wtf

Yeah what's with Fix You ?! First a Fix You ballad, then this ... :thinking:

the demos keep getting weirder! :D

seriously, that´s not chris. esp. 1:35 - 1:40 wtf is this guy singing? :D

he has perfect pitch at times and does sound like chris, but also just at times.

additionally, his voice sounds a lot like in the other demo. if "plan b" was recorded much earlier (say parachutes-era), his voice should´ve changed, at least a bit.

he also says "reFFers" instead of "reVerse".

 

to me it´s just fake :- / .

It's understandable that people would think that it's fake because it's just a demo and not polished. But what would be the incentive for someone to write a whole new song and perform it as a fake Coldplay demo? If it was fake, why would it go unaddressed by the band/website? They probably brought it to the attention of EMI, which explains why it's being taken down from YouTube.

 

I'm a music writer, and I have a lot of reasons to suspect that these demos are real. I spend a lot of time analyzing vocals and I'm very, very familiar with Chris' voice. It's extremely difficult to do a perfect imitation of someone's voice, including intonation and phrase styling. Unless there's some master impressionist out there, this is Chris. Think about it - how many covers of Coldplay songs on YouTube sound anything like the original, let alone almost identical? If you listen to the VLV demos and then these right after, you can see how his voice is rough in very similar ways. If this is fake, the guy singing is going to be famous for that impression.

 

None of this is to say that the demos mean anything. There's no way to know when they were done. Just tossing in my two cents.

There's no way to know when they were done.

THIS

Denied.

 

I don't think it is Chris...is very, very like him, I admit. But is like Chris' singing during the Parachutes era, rather than his singing now.

 

Plus how on earth would it leak? Chris and Jonny said themselves even they wouldn't know how to access their own songs.

 

Ever hear the Viva La Vida demos? They sound a lot different from his current singing. So maybe it's just like a trial...i dunno.

Well it's better to have doubts than to have nothing at all I think, especially at this point of time when we know nothing official will be released for some time yet.

You can clearly hear thats Chris why you guys doubt? Because its not an Album version?

I'll admit that the "Fix You" sounds the most like Chris yet, but I still think it's someone else who happens to sound like him. It's not pitch perfect at all, it's not a perfect imitation if you ask me: it's better than probably anyone else in the world can do, but his intonation/accent/pronunciation are just wrong to me, and all the echoey effects seem to be there ONLY do help mask the imperfections. The singer Matt Kearney sounds a lot like Chris to me too, sometimes almost identical like this person does, but the differences are what stick out more the similarities, and that's what I think this is a case of. Why would the real Chris record something that sounds like it was done on a cell phone in a bathroom, for God's sake? :P We know how all their previous demos sound and how they usually go about recording them, we have one from each album/era at least, and they sound nothing like this. I feel like drowning a demo in effects like this defeats the purpose of a demo.

I'm with Chelsea on this one.

OMG its not Chris you halfwits!!!!! so many retards!

I was convinced that the first demo was real when I heard it and then it was removed by EMI. Then they put up the Wedding Bells demo which clearly isn't Coldplay. What do you take us Coldplayers for?!

I doubt EMI would have any more of an idea whether it's real or not than we would. I'm sure they haven't heard much, if anything of the new album yet. They probably just gave it a listen and decided it sounded like Chris enough to get it removed.

 

With Coldplay being the only meal ticket they have left I guess they can't be too careful.

^ Very good point. I just listened to it again. It's a brilliant imposter if it's not the real McCoy though.

I don't think the Fix You recording is really him.

someone update me.

do we finally had a new leak?

the leak seem more real now or more fake?

oracle has answered?

Apparently they were all fake. Go read this post :

i did, but i was just saying that the wedding bells demo is clearly fake. He said it may be, but he/she doesn't actually say that it definitely is coldplay. He sais that he's sent them, so they may well be fake.
