I'm not thrill about the Rihanna situation but the boys are smart. They would not put crap on the album so I'm hopeful.

it is confirmed... Princess of China, features vocals by Rihanna (ooh!)[/url]

 

OH.

 

FUCK.

 

IT.

 

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHY????????

Well, they are putting ETIAW and Paradise on it...

 

I have no qualms with Rihanna's singing, but with the band I'm expecting the worst.

Para Para Ella Ella....

 

*BANG!

 

Hahaha Oh my, this made me laugh my head off.

If I didn't love Coldplay, I wouldn't have gone further to see the bleakness of this all :sad2: .

This is the SADDEST and most Angriest I've ever been as a Coldplay fan!!! I don't want that horrible high pitched voice on my Coldplay music!!! They could have at least gotten a talented singer!!! Beyond depressed now!!

 

Hey CHRIS, STOP asking all these pop and rap singers to sing on your records!!!! Stop alienating your passionate fan base!!

I honestly don't see what the big deal is. Rhianna is a pretty good pop artist, but all the stupid music elitists are going to disagree with me on that based on the sole fact that she sings pop music.

 

The complaint that Coldplay is becoming more mainstream doesn't make sense to me either. They've always been pretty damn mainstream (at least after Speed of Sound), and being mainstream doesn't make something inherently bad anyway.

The song might sound well... I mean Chris knows how PoC should sound. But it´s just... I don´t know. I don´t want to see someone else than Coldplay on an album. This is going to far...

Does anyone have any cyanide? 'Cause I kind of want to poison myself now. :sick:

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Do I understand you correctly: Rihanna will appear in the song?!?

I wish it was an April Fools' joke, but sadly, it is not.

:nod:

 

I don't know how I feel about it yet.

However I don´t get it how a lot of people seem to be surprised by this...after all Chris has been singing praises for mainstream artists for YEARS (girls aloud anyone?), so it is clear to me it was just a matter of time before they incorporated some of that in their albums, however to me it is still unmistakably Coldplay and that´s what matters

it's fantastic, it's a true Lady who can sing with heart :D and not making money is not his interest in show business. I not have even Madonna, Lily Alen or katy Perry . she has other collaboration, of band.

example Maroon 5 If I Never See Your Face Again ft. Rihanna

 

I love this new song

This fucking argument again?

 

Look, the vast majority of musical acts that use Autotune do it as a stylistic choice, not as a crutch for people who can't sing.

 

god dammit why am I even on this site still

Having thought about it. It can't really be that bad, it's not as if they've asked Rihanna to re-write the song, it's still going to be fundamentally the same. If you don't like it, just wait until we get a high quality live rip, because Rihanna obviously won't be touring with them for just one song.

I wish it was an April Fools' joke, but sadly, it is not.

 

Oh my f****** god. That's shit. That's pure shit. What the hell happened to Coldplay?!? Rihanna's music is crap. Princess of China was so brilliant on Rock im Park, but with Rihanna it will be c.. not good. I'm disappointed. Umbrella, ella, ella, ella , ella, ella, ella, ella, ella, ella, ella, ella, ella, ella, ella, ella, ella, ella, ella, ella.:bomb:

LMFAO!

I don't care if it's mainstream or not. I just don't like Rihanna's voice and I sincerely don't thinks she's a good singer. Of course I'm not entitled to assess anything I haven't listened yet, but please may it be a made up article.

I sincerely hope that Coldplay release a version without that horrible excuse of a singer, so I can listen to the song without ever having to hear her terrible voice!

Yeah haha you were all happy until you realised it is RHIANNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

RIHANNA! No use bloody hating her if you know so much about her that you can't even spell her name right! Jeez!

Mr. Buckland would kindly kick Chris in the nuts please??

 

:laugh3:

 

I really can't believe that great musicians like the guys can be so much into Rihanna. Really.

Someone, please introduce Chris to good music. It seems he doesn't know that in the world exists something more profound, deep and beautiful than pop. I don't want to sound snobbish, but the reason I listen to pop music in very small amounts is that it's plain and wears off too fast.

It's usually about a girl liking a boy and vice versa - same old story which got old in stone age perhaps. Pop is too simple, too literal. And that what influences Coldplay now.

 

Is it just me, or when they listened to Radiohead, Jeff Buckley and Echo & the Bunnymen their music was far more good?

I would say before that it can sound well,but now... I lost the faith in them :/

And if they needed so desperately someone to sing on PoC why not collaborating with someone less famous and maybe more interesting as an artist? Or Rihanna is the only one in the world who can sing?

 

I don't know, Adele seems huge now in the Stated, Florence Welch is quite popular... So why, why, WHY Rihanna?
