Coldplay on X-Factor!

[Hysteria]

I watched this last night. :| Awful. Also, someone did a cover of Creep, which was alright I s'pose but meh.

 

Although I have to say, the background music is improving. 3 Coldplay songs, Muse and Radiohead to name a few.

[The Champion]

Oh fuck...what the fuck... she completely fuckin' fucked it.

:\

I'm sad. I expected a girl with an incredible voice being completely into it and singing it with the same vocal line as in the original and adding all of her heart and soul to it. But...I expected to much I think.

Oh and what are actually Brian Friedman and Anthony Kaye doing ine there? :D

[NumbersGirl]

^ that first line would be a good siggy :D

Camping it up?:P

Anyway, one of the girls is potentially the best the show has ever had. She comes from Zimbabwe and her performance was amazing.

Easily better than Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke IMO.;)

[christopher Martin]

dreadful. She cannot sing or rap and she is only "original" because her style is so bad nobody else would want to sound like that. I dont mean to be harsh, its just my honest opinion.

[christopher Martin]

As it happens, Coldplay songs are being used in the background on X Factor all the time.

On yesterday's show "Fix You" and "The Scientist" were featured as well as "Viva".

 

Yeh I notice this all the time, but Im not sure its a good thing because it constantly associates coldplay's songs with one of the tackiness programs of all time.

[ViVA Child]

tHERE HAVE been worse Coldplay Covers

God help us if they do that coldplay episode on glee

facepalming isnt even enough.... a head-desk would be more appropriate.

yeh i still cant believe they agreed to it, I dont want the mass public to like coldplay, especially if it means feeding them a dumbed down, teeny pop version of their music. arghh why do coldplay think they need to appeal to everyone! its at the expense of their real fans! Coldplay should distance themselves from pop, not try to fit in!

[Jonnyslice.]

That. Was God awful.

 

I really loathe Coldplay songs being on these kinda things like X-Factor and Idol. Now Glee?!

I like Coldplay's fans because they're loyal and smart. I don't want a bunch of teeny bopper fans ruining that. :angry:

 

And what is it with these sort of artists doing Coldplay covers?

I had to cover my ears after 30 seconds.

[Dany93]

But you haven't seen this yet. From the italian X-Factor.

What a shame :shame: :bigcry:

[Jonnyslice.]

Whoa. I will admit thats a good cover. A really good cover. But if I have to look through 5 bad covers before I can find 1 good cover, I'd rather save myself from the pain. :(

[Jonnyslice.]

Another good cover I stumbled on, but piano this time :)

I seriously love this guy, he does the best Coldplay covers.

That has to be the best argument as to why Coldplay shouldn't 'sell out' I've heard as of yet.

 

:hug:

You know he's a member and has his own thread here, right? :awesome:

[Jonnyslice.]

OMG no. :embarrassed: :shocked2:

I just follow him on youtube :D

ahhahahaahah :lol:

Oh I didn't know about it. I really don't know anything about X-factor cause we don't have any in Poland :p only Got talent.

 

 

And about the Jonas Brothers...

No, they didn't fucked up the great sound of Jonny's solo, no...they didn't fucked up the rhythmic section trying to replace the most amazing drummer (no, not Will Champion) with a random long haired guy which actually can't play the drums...no he also don't have a totally gayish voice, not at all...they didn't fucked up the choir part too! and no he didn't try to dance like Chris Martin when the drums came in.

[christopher Martin]

This is one of the coldplay covers i rate, I like the use of violin but im not too keen on the repetion of the chorus to make it longer, i think coldplay got that spot on.

Apart from this attempt i think the vast majority are pretty dire. You could argue that snow patrol cover coldplay pretty well :)

[NumbersGirl]

OMG no. :embarrassed: :shocked2:

The fact that he could reproduce Spanish Rain like that without sheet music is amazing. Wish I could do that!

[cgjw189]

Tears streamed down my face.

THAT WAS THE WORST VIDEO EVER.

Honestly, I just need to console myself with fellow Coldplayers on how much that video made me want to puke. I thought B.O.B.'s "Not Lost" copy from Lost! was bad enough, this was TERRIBLE.

[ReecyBoy42]

That was absolutely horrendous. I hope she goes home...the place she ironically didn't want to go.

I know ...this is one aspect in which I wish they were more like Radiohead... because you know you wont ever see that Kids Bob TV Show get their hands on Creep or In Rainbows

 

man i wish they would say no to the right things.

His work is incredible, I would kill to do something like that! I reckon the most I can play is 'The Scientist' and half of 'Postcards from far away' :D
