June 29, 201214 yr Erm can some one explain what's wrong with what he did? I thought Coldplay fans weren't meant to be music snobs?
June 29, 201214 yr ^It's just a line so it's ok, and actually pretty funny :lol: And nice of him, it must have pleased the boy from One Direction :D But I guess there's a kind of "fear", well maybe not a fear, but, you know, fans don't really like the idea of Coldplay and One Direction being associated, in any way, because they don't like the idea of Coldplay being associated with such a boysband. Here it really is just one line from their hit song, so it's not a big deal at all. It feels weird, I guess. Oh, and What makes you beautiful is trending worldwide on Twitter, because of what happened last night :lol:
June 29, 201214 yr ^Oh wow you're right, it's trending! Nah it's just Chris being his kind self, I don't mind at all.
June 29, 201214 yr I found it awkward when he said "that shit cray" when the xylobands started to glow that one time, but this is just... well, no fun.
June 29, 201214 yr Coldplay lights up the crowd during Forum show Not being a Coldplay fan, I felt like an atheist at a revival meeting, nervous that I might be the only one of my kind at the sold-out show. And just like a revival preacher, Chris Martin and his band mates took the converted to ecstatic heights at the Forum on Thursday night. The openers, Wolfgang - a young British band that can only be described as Coldplay Jr. - and Swedish pop star Robyn were given pleasant responses from the well-dressed, clean-cut crowd waiting patiently for their cleric. Robyn, especially, seemed out of place in this context better suited for the Ritz in Ybor than the Forum. At roughly 9:07 p.m., electronic wristbands on every fan started to glow as the theme from"Back to the Future" faded into the title track from "Mylo Xyloto" and "Hurts Like Heaven," a beautiful sight to behold, even if the Forum looked like a Lite Brite. It was the first of many such spectacles, some of which would not have been out of place at a Flaming Lips show, including confetti bombs, beach balls and a light show that would have impressed a jaded U2 fan. An endearingly goofy dancer, Martin, dressed in a simple T-shirt and jeans, was a crowd pleasing carnival barker with a remarkable live voice. He mentioned Tampa every chance he got, while encouraging sing-a-longs and thanking the crowd profusely for giving him the best job in the world. The sound was impeccable, besides a few times the vocals were low in the mix. However, the crowd didn't care as long as Martin gave them what they wanted, including highlights "The Scientist," "Violet Hill" and "Viva La Vida." The first set ended with the visually stunning light show connected to the song "Paradise," which will be a concert-ending staple for years to come. The crowd, already hanging on the band's every move, sang as if they were enraptured by a heavenly presence. The encore started in the middle of the cheap seats for a semi acoustic set in which Martin flubbed the words to "Us against the World," but no one cared. After a jaunt through the crowd, the band ended with the very singable "Clocks, Fix You" and "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall," easily the best choice they could have made for an ending song. A Coldplay show is everything its fans want it to be and everything its critics hate. They will never convert the music snobs with their crowd pleasing clichés. However, with fans like those gathered Thursday night, they will never have to. link
June 29, 201214 yr Utterly Phenominal Ahhh cool, someone found my instagram pictures from last night, the three colorful collages. Thanks for posting those. The show was utterly spectacular. I've been wanting to see Coldplay since my college days back in ole Kentucky. I promised myself if I ever moved to a city where Coldplay was going to perform, I would do anything beyond any means to see them live. That dream came true last night, and it honestly didn't hit me until Clocks rocked the stage, and I found myself tearful of the fact I was in the presence of rock legends, and I had completed a bucket list. I can't begin to describe how humbled I was just to be in the same company of like minded people. Also here is a panorama from last night as well. http://360.io/m5RWq2 Thanks Tash for posting my 3 collages!!! ;)
