Q. Dear Oracle, I have a rather interesting questions. Wikipedia and the Wiki at Coldplaying.com seem to be under the illusion that 'What If' was released as a single, with Wikipedia also stating 'White Shadows' as another. Evidently, the Wikipedia has no wiki pages leading to the two - which would lead one to think someone has incorrectly edited the Coldplay page... until I realised that the Coldplaying Wiki had supplied cover artwork for What If. It even included a brief description of where it has been released. Has someone played a elaborate prank? It would seem so, as the code on the cover art is off-centered, unlike the others. Thanks, Joshua
The Oracle replies:
Sometimes singles are released in very few territories and that may be physical, digital or radio release only. That's the case with the above singles. What If was released to radio in France, for example, and White Shadows was released to coincide with the Latin American tour of 2007.

Q. I'm 15, looking to going into musical composition for college. I've taught myself piano, no formal lessons. I'm not anything special, but I'll get there. However, I think my singing is a bit weak. Any pointers?
The Oracle replies:
You don't really need to have a great voice for musical composition. Have self-belief and go for it, many singers don't have fantastic voices but they have charisma or are distinctive. If you do want to sing, find your own voice and strengthen it. There are many vocal exercises that you could try out to make your voice stronger. If you can't afford vocal coach lessons, there are CDs available.

Q. hello, oracle. i'm facing a bit of a wardrobe dilemma, and i'd be delighted if you helped me out. you see, i got the most adorable dress a few weeks ago, and i've received several compliments every time i've worn it since. but just the other day i wore it when i visited my mother and she told me straightaway that it made me look chubby and short (and i really can't afford to look much shorter). now who should i believe? my acquaintances or my own mother who claims to have my best interests at heart? this is a life or death situation, oracle. i was planning on wearing the dress to the coldplay gig in west palm beach tomorrow, but i can't go looking like a fat midget now, can i?
The Oracle replies:
Mothers, you've gotta love them and yes, they're known for their honest opinions but that doesn't mean they're always right! What I would ask is, what do YOU think? If you love the dress, wear it, who cares what anyone else thinks?
