I agree, this video is something they've never done before. It's obvious the budget for this one was just a little bit bigger than for, let's say, Yellow ? Because someone earlier said something about Chris walking just like he walked on the beach for Yellow, I was looking for more similarities to previous videos. Here are some things that reminded me of earlier videos: At 1.16 you see Chris backwards like a broken record. Obvious Scientist vibes. At 1.27 his hand moves reminded me a bit of Viva la Vida. On the other hand, these are just Chris moves I guess, just like the rotating dance at 1.35, which he always does live. So maybe I'm just searching for something there isn't. I like that he's completely embracing dancing in this video, but I was a little bit sad it took so long for the band to come out. But when they did, they sure were electric!

Maybe a stupid question, but.. When I want to watch the BBC show I still get the popup that I’m not in the UK.. where did you all watch the show?

Exciting times! ?

I love Chris’ new dance move. This part makes me laugh ?

I‘m glad we also got the livestream link for today, because of all yesterdays issues. Anyone else watching the show on repeat now? ?

Confirmed how? Loved this ?

Let’s hope it get’s fixed soon ?

Anyone also getting “invalid code” when you want to log in the stream? ?

Ah thanks, I must have misread

Did anyone receive a message about their Viva chant being used? I never did

I completely understand your point @Famous_Old_Painter The samples of choirs, other instruments etc. don't bother me. But i'm pretty naïve and just want to live in a world where my favorite band doesn't lipsync ? or need an autotune. (My husband sometimes cringes when he hears live performances and hears Chris miss a note, but I'm always defending Chris. Surely, when he's running around like crazy, this isn't always best for his singing, but still.) Also, regarding the pretty hard discussion I've read on this forum about Higher Power, pop music, generic songs, etc. I just come here to feel the excitement of other people who are just as crazy about this band as I am. Because my family and friends can't relate to my emotions as you guys do ? Nothing more than love for this band! *Here am I in my little bubble*

Thanks Tim! Amazing performance, they look so happy! ?

Was it really just now broadcasted? I came home 15 min ago thinking I had already missed it anyway ?

Where did you guys find this? I’ve entered the competition, fingers crossed ? I was hoping for a videocall with the band ??

I totally get your point and agree with you. I can't en don't want to imagine a time where there will never be new Coldplay music or concerts... But at the same time, seeing bands carry on for 40, 50 years, getting old, hmm, it's not always the best thing to do. I'm thinking of some Bob Dylan live performances, uf... There's also something valid in stopping when you're at your best. U2 is another example for me. They keep evolving, but I think their best work was many years ago. Hope I'm not hurting anyone's feelings with this ? That said, I really need the energy from Coldplay liveshows to keep me going. So let's just hope they will stay relevant and interesting for a while. ?

Was the rest of the episode worth watching? I'm not really a fan of hearing Coldplay covers, since Chris' voice is what I love most about Coldplay, but I am a little bit curious about the feedback they would give the contestants. Love the live performance! Get's me excited for a concert

I can't believe the amount of interviews especially Chris and Jonny have done, and in every interview they keep being to thoughtful and nice. Chris is always noticing someone's art in the background, tattoo on an arm, etc. and being so polite. I can't imagine I would be able to answer the same questions for a million times in such a way! Not being able to travel must be a relief for them though, so they can just work through these interviews much more efficient. First I wanted to watch every interview, but I'm not sure I will finish the whole list, since there are so many? And also because most of the questions are the same, so we can already predict the answers. But still, they alwasy manage to put a smile upon my face with their good mood ?

This performance is great!! I'm so excited, can't wait for a tour...

Ah, can't wait to watch this performance after your reviews. In the studio version, I just love the way Chris' voice sounds in this part: "I'm so happy that I'm alive, happy I'm alive as the same time as you". When he sings like this, that's the way I love his voice the most. Don't exactly know how to describe it. My husband doesn't hear any differance and thinks I'm crazy ?

So glad I got out of bed for this. You could really feel the excitement of the band, loved the talk with Thomas. And I’m just blown away by the song, the wall of sound in it, the joy. Better than I expected actually. I like what Chris said about it’s meaning too.

I only just now found out the release is 1 am in the morning, I thought it would be PM ? will have to set an alarm now ?

Ah I see, thanks!

Also, Chris was wearing pink bracelets. Maybe the High Power bracelets from the CP store?

Such a shame it wasn't really 45 minutes, but this was a very welcome treat! Chris really sounded amazing! Can't wait for the Glast show...

Yes, Alien Radio here too.. Too bad is not really live, but wow, Chris sounds amazing!!
