For me it is. There has actually NEVER been a Coldplay song that I hated from the beginning - I did so with PoC. Has anyone else thought about this being the actual 'Worst song of Coldplay ever'?

Yes it is. But one correction, is a Rihanna song.

Nothing can be worse than Lost+.

Lost is terrible, this has a really good vibe to it IMO, after a few listens I'm starting to really like it, Rihanna definitely sounds better when she's not singing her own songs :P

I think ETIAW barely edges out PoC, but yes, I hate this even more than Paradise. (all 3 are in my bottom 5)

Nothing can be worse than Lost+.

I hate Lost+ but at least 75% of that is still a Coldplay song.

I love this song

And the new style (do not get me wrong I'm old coldplay fan I just think this good refreshing change) :)

I hate Lost+ but at least 75% of that is still a Coldplay song.

 

agreed. but that one 25% can still spoil the rest of the song. and you can always just skip once you get to the Jay-Z cameo :laugh3:

PoC doesn't have that luxury though, so if you don't like it you'll just have to skip the whole song.

no its not the worst is one of the best songs of coldplay i also liked rihanna but not as the same as i love coldplay its a beautiful song

Hmm I actually really like Jay Z's Part in Lost - but I like how that was on an EP - rather than the actual album. Would have prefered Rihannas part as a B side or something because I just love chris's voice far too much to loose it on a song

Rihanna's part is the best part of the song. :nod:

 

Is it their worst song? Nope. Is it a good song? No, not really.

Its a good Song for a Mainstream Spectrum, but its don´t the Coldplay I've learned to love

Personally, I repeat, PERSONALLY, I really hate Princess of China. I don't even mind if this song vanishes from this world.

:lol:

^^same here :blank:

God no, the worst is either The Goldrush or Ode To Deodorant. POC is far from it.

It's not their worst but definitely one of their worst songs. I strongly dislike it.

God no, the worst is either The Goldrush or Ode To Deodorant. POC is far from it.

 

I'll agree in the sense that these choices make more sense to me for "worst Coldplay song" than PoC. "The Goldrush" is really kinda cheesy (in a not-so-good way), and O2D is just...well, y'know.

Ode To Deodorant is Starfish/The Coldplay :nod:

 

I just can't believe this hate, POC is one of my favorites off of MX. :\ :p

I can't help but feel like a lot of people have already set themselves up for hating this song solely for Rihanna's presence on it. Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong.

This.

I haven't compiled a list of my least favourite Coldplay songs or anything but I'm sure this would be in the bottom 3 at least. It's awful.

Yeah I think it is..At least the Coldplay songs that are bad, Chris is singing them..Which makes them better than POC.

I said Rihanna isn't even one of the top 5 reasons why I hate this song. I feel I should list those 5 reasons:

- Terrible synth usage that's even more overbearing than in Paradise

- Aforementioned synths completely bury any actual instruments, making 3/4 of Coldplay members useless

- Even that 4th Coldplay member - Chris - is barely noticeable on this song as he has the minority of vocal parts

- Shit lyrics that are either for toddlers ("I wanna be a princess!") or just lazy as hell ("Lalalalalala oooooooooh")

- It's Coldplay writing an R&B song, for crying out loud

 

Rihanna is Reason #6. :laugh3:

For me, without a doubt, POC is the worst song this band has ever produced.

I completely agree. And I think those who don't like it and say it isn't because of Rihanna are in denial.

 

I like it. I don't love it but I like it. Something different. The screaming synths I love. I've never been a fan of the circus that is Rihanna but she does a good job on the song and I can see plenty of people loving this song. This board isn't the be all and end all for gauging musical opinion. Plenty of people out there love this song but you're not going to find many on here.
