So , how sure of this are we . I mean is it oficial ? :thinking: I mean , we are talking about the person in the artist and repertory departament on Parlophone. Its not like he is the head of Parlophone , or the one of marketing or something :thinking: . I Doubt they would give someone of other departament information about a major release .. ( maybe hes right , but the thing is that its too fucking wierd about the festivals , i mean , if it was only 1 i get it , but they are like 10 :lol:) It totally makes no sense. Plus insiders in record labels not always have the true :lol: . Ive been told countless times that people on Island def jam were going to release different compilations that they never did .. so idk how reliable is this :confused:

Lol I'm already imagining this coming out June 2012 :lol: But as long as they don't dissapoint , I'm okey with it been released in september

Well yes. Techically , coldplay being a private artist ( meaning that they record in a private studio that they own , different from the bast majority of recording artists ) they don't have the need to copyright every song that they do etc ( if u record in a normal studio things get messy , things leak etc) . The songs included in that list should be the CDs ones , prospects march , b sides , some unreleased maybe ( basically all of the studio recordings that we might have heard ) . There's no need to find songs that we don't know or songs that werent released ( as a studio song) such as wedding bells . The good thing about this is that maybe , a few weeks before the album , whe songs might be published and we will be able to know the names before :D

Lol it would probably be banned in the uk :lol: . Renamed also :p

:lol: sorry , i didnt notice :P Im kinda used to people insulting pop music , coldplay , or other generes that they dont like , and i get kinda defenssive :D

lol , okey but its an article , i dont really think he needs that. Having every magazine talk good about him isnt gonna make people buy his music , and if they did horrible reviews , her fans ( insane 15 year old teenagers ) wouldnt even care . Plus , the fact that you didnt like the performance/songs/bieber does not make a performance bad and means that they paid to get that review :). There are different opinions in this world , different points of view , and diferent tastes :) . deal with it.

lol , but this has nothing to do with the ratings. Though i guess it was good in his genere and with what he does :) . Though his voice sounded strained while singing Baby acustil :lol:

Eminem's performance i muted it too :lol: . Rihanna sounded dreadful . The aretha tribute although it was good , it was way to long and idk , i muted it too :lol:

They have. Actually i dont know what happens with Coldplay , but some fans get lots of info about new music . Most recent ? 3 days ago 2 new britney songs ( for her upcoming album appeared) . Her fans went wild on twitter :lol: . One of them is the other one idk :lol:

I dont even know how Justin bieber got an A. I guess it wasnt that bad :thinking: ? Mike jagger performances , bob dylan's and barbara were my bathroom breaks. I mean , boring as hell :D

Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, Florence Welch, Yolanda Adams and Martina McBride; Aretha Franklin Tribute It's not easy to sing Aretha Franklin songs. Few people can really belt it out as well as the grandmother of soul, and no one can do it better. But these vocal sirens gave a great performance. Sure, it felt a little bit like a VH1 Divas special, with each performer introduced before her song segment. But Christina, Jennifer, Florence, Yolanda and Martina put on a good show. Christina even remembered the words! Grade: B Lady Gaga, 'Born This Way The egg and shoulder horns were weird. The dancing was good. And her ponytail whipping might even beat out Willow Smith's for Best Performance by an Artist's Hair. But Gaga's new song, "Born This Way," sounds like a cross between Sister Sledge's "We Are Family" and Madonna's "Vogue." It would be perfect for a clothes-changing montage in a remake of The Birdcage. But as a pop song? She can do better. Grade: B Miranda Lambert, 'The House That Built Me' Miranda Lambert's touching ode to her childhood home was artfully sung, but I can't help feeling as if I've heard this song before. Nothing went wrong here. But nothing really went right either. And by the way, why are country singers always so nostalgic? Grade: C Muse, 'Uprising' It seems strange to perform a song about a revolution — complete with toppling images, fire and destroyed icons — so soon after people elsewhere in the world have undergone a real uprising. But art is supposed to imitate life, and "Uprising" is loud, violent and raw. Just as it's supposed to be. Grade: A- Bruno Mars, B.o.B. and Janelle Monáe; 'Nothin' on You,' 'Grenade,' 'Cold War' (Medley) Bruno Mars, B.o.B and Janelle Monáe had 14 Grammy nominations between them this year. You'd think that such highly acclaimed musicians would create mind-blowing music together, but I'm not feeling it. I like the 1960s throwback thing that Bruno Mars and Janelle Monáe have going on, with the James Brown pompadours, wing tips and black-and-white film stock. Mars leans a little too heavily into lounge-singer territory, and Monáe keeps it clean, fresh and exciting. But amid all this B.o.B.'s raps seemed out of place, causing the whole thing to fall Janelle Monáe: A+ ( ) Everyone else: B- Usher and Justin Bieber (Featuring Jaden Smith); 'Never Say Never,' 'OMG' (Medley) Bieber isn't a great dancer, but he's getting there. With Usher's help, he'll have the popping and locking down in no time. The Beebs is growing up, but slowly. He's a little bit taller, a little bit bolder, and he's wearing slightly more leather. But he smiles when he dances and it's still O.K. for teenage girls to like him. And Jaden Smith, 12, raps as well as any 15-year-old. (Sidenote: How are Will and Jada Pinkett Smith producing such precocious children? Did they read that Tiger Mother book or something?) Meanwhile, Usher makes one of the worst songs of 2010 almost listenable. When I watched him glide across the stage, I almost forgot that "OMG" is primarily a ringtone disguised as a club anthem. Grade: A- Mumford and Sons, Avett Brothers and Bob Dylan; 'The Cave,' 'Head Full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise,' 'Maggie's Farm' (Medley) In a world of see-through dresses, shoulder horns and Justin Bieber, it's easy to forget that the Grammys are supposed to celebrate good music. Marcus Mumford sings with more passion than all of the performers before him put together. Then come the Avett Brothers, who at first seem as if they weren't ready to play "Head Full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise" in front of such a large audience. But after a few chords the Avetts find their rhythm, leading smoothly into an appearance by none other than Bob Dylan. Dylan, however, looks old — older than his 69 years, 10 Grammy awards or lifetime achievement honor should account for. The Mumfords and Avetts might never write a song as good as "Maggie's Farm." But the folk hero's energy just isn't there. Mumford & Sons: A Avett Brothers: A- Bob Dylan: B- Lady Antebellum, 'Need You Now Didn't Lady Antebellum perform "Need You Now" at the ceremony last year? Yes. Yes, they did. But this year the mediocre country ballad won them five Grammys. That still doesn't make them interesting. One thought did cross my mind while watching them: Whatever happened to Shania Twain? Grade: D Cee Lo and Gwyneth Paltrow, 'Forget You' I was all ready to hate this performance — Gwyneth Paltrow? Muppets? "F___ You" changed to "Forget You?" — but Cee Lo proved to be a surprising treat. "F___ You" is still catchy even without the f bombs, s bombs and racial epithets, and Gwyneth Paltrow wisely didn't try to compete with the backup-singer puppets or the man in the peacock costume. They made me want to get up and dance. Grade: A Katy Perry; 'Not Like the Movies,' 'Teenage Dream' (Medley) Katy Perry's swing looked like a high school–yearbook photo backdrop, but her cupcake-esque minidress and the video of her actual wedding, to British comedian Russell Brand last October, made up for it. Perry is the pop-music equivalent of a basket of puppies. This Valentine's Day–themed performance makes me want to believe that she and Brand will stay married forever, despite the statistical improbability of that happening. Good luck, you crazy kids. Grade: B+ Norah Jones, John Mayer and Keith Urban; 'Jolene Norah Jones, John Mayer and Keith Urban paid tribute to country music legend Dolly Parton with one of her classic songs. They are three separate artists with three separate styles, but they came together for a seamless performance. This rendition of "Jolene" was simple, beautiful and clean. Grade: A Rihanna, Dr. Dre, Skylar Grey and Eminem; 'Love the Way You Lie,' 'I Need a Doctor' (medley) Rihanna rarely sings alone. She's almost always accompanied by another singer, drowned out by synthesizers or Auto-Tuned by an overzealous producer. But tonight, at least briefly, it's just Rihanna and the microphone. Then Eminem appears and does the unthinkable: he makes the performance even better. When the duo performed "Love the Way You Lie" at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this year, they seemed disjointed and unrehearsed. Here, they've have found their element. And Dr. Dre, whose cameo could have been an unnecessary addition, only added to the fire. Grade: A Mick Jagger, 'Everybody Needs Somebody to Love' Everyone's favorite prancing grandpa gave an energetic, heartfelt tribute to singer Solomon Burke, who died last year. Jagger has an act that simply doesn't get old. He struts and swaggers like someone half — no, a third — his age. It's hard to believe that the man is 67. Grade: A+ Barbra Streisand, 'Evergreen' "Love, soft as an easy chair/ Love, fresh as the morning air." What is this, a Hallmark card? Barbra Streisand sings "Evergreen," her 1976 Oscar-winning theme to A Star Is Born. Yes, she's talented. Yes, she's a legend. But that doesn't mean everything Streisand touches turns to gold. This performance is more of a pewter one. Grade: C Rihanna and Drake, 'What's My Name?' It's official: the 2011 Grammys should just be renamed The Rihanna Show. For her second appearance onstage tonight, the pop star ditched the ball gown, shortened her skirt and nailed this duet with Drake. I'm not even sure why Drake was there. Apparently he wan't either; he wandered off halfway through the song. Grade: A- Arcade Fire, 'Month of May Arcade Fire are perhaps the last big rock band out there. But for their inaugural Grammy performance, they selected their second best song and complicated it with bike riders and seizure-inducing strobe lights. Too much is happening here. I can't focus on the music. Grade: B- Arcade Fire, 'Ready to Start Oh, so that is why Arcade Fire played "Month of May" first. They saved the best for last. There's a reason why the Montreal-based band won the 2011 Grammy for Album of the Year: The Suburbs combines big, orchestral sounds and subtle, hushed nuances to explore the painful comfort that comes with living in the suburbs. This performance of "Ready to Start" translates that feeling to the stage. At least, I think it did. The CBS telecast cut to commercial halfway through. Grade: A Happy about Cee loo and Gwyneth performance + muse .

TIME magazine grades grammy performances So happy !

Quite interesting list

Well this is The THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF COMPOSERS, AUTHORS AND PUBLISHERS . ( they gave viva la vida an award a few months ago , idk if you remember) As their main site says Basically everytime you are going to release a song/album etc , you have to send it there. It's for copyright issues and all that . You can look on the main site what the ASCAP is and what they specifically do. But I know they ( their publishers or manager , or coldplays team :lol:) everytime they are going to release something they have to put it there ( it's also a requirement for the album , they have to be There) . They can be listed as songwriters or as performers If you click on Chris for example , you will notice that there are coldplay songs + songs e has written by himself with other artists and so on . For the others that are asking. This is real + official :)

to make the excelent selections with music that you do ( by choosing superior music) , you can choose other words to insult me. There are even " superior " words to insult other people :p btw did you or are you a coldplay fan ? :rolleyes:

:lol:

lol , you are right , i dont know anything about them. Aparently they did the same with in rainbows:thinking: My comment wasnt supposed to be offensive , it was kinda like a joke . No one even payed atenttion to it actually , and some people even laughed. It wasnt the worst thing on earth ;) . I know they dont care about sales , and that they didnt do this to avoid u2/Coldplay. Though i dont believe its okey to insult me because of what i said /several insults ) or call my music inferior :)

Well , you lowered it though :lol:

but , does that mean that you HATE them ? :thinking: . I understand you not liking viva , but maybe you can still like parachutes or soemthing

Whats the need to insult ? . I didnt insult radiohead (their lyrics , work or anything ) , or didnt insult you. I said something that you dont know if its true , and neither do i. Also talked about record labels and their desire for money ( that even if the artist dont have it , the record label does ) which is true . Sorry if you took it wrongly. And btw , i read some articles that said that they were aiming for a may release , something like that. I didnt expect it to be so early . I guess you did :) Again. Whats the need to insult ? . Im a fucking idiot , really ? :inquisitive: . To be such an inteligent person , who likes superior music than i do ( and who actually makes better choices than i do , in terms of music its clear i guess. I like inferior music ) , it surprises me that you make that you make that judgment only because of that comment. You dont care about record sales or anything like that yet you say "they make more out of concerts anyway" ? . I mean , if records sales dosnt matter to you , why do you feel the need to say that record sales arent important to them , and make more with concerts anyway ? :shocked2: :thinking: I do believe Chris tries to look humble , and isnt. yet i wouldnt go that far and call him a bastard. But hey , we all have bad things right ? . I mean , Thom is a big fas asshole , chris is an egoistic bastard , hypocritical and ceretenely You have some anger problems :) dont take it in a wrong way , but for a comment THAT irrelevant as mine ( as you say it is ) and it actually is , cause no one even bothered to answer me or payed atenttion ( they are all happy with the new cd , and i do congratulate you ) you called me a : -an idiot -a troll -fucking idiot -basically throw shit in the music that i like . And believe radiohead is superior to coldplay , which i believe is kinda subjective -I only comment pathetic things -Ima a "burned bumhole" :shocked2: :thinking: :thinking: BTW , try to lower your posts please. You can discuss without insulting other people :hug:

oh , i thought they were on Capitol/parlophone etc. That does not mean nothing . When you are signed to a record label , you do it for a certain ammount of albums (lets say your contract is for 5 ) . When you make your 5 albums , you can see what to do .. to sign other type of contract like you did before , or do one free.. The way radiohead did. Of course they dont , if they did , they would have done something more pop-ish or mainstream to make the sales go up :rolleyes: . I think its nice to think that they do this for the simply art of making music :) . Things are not like that anymore. Behind radiohead there is a record label that is hungry for money , and they spect this to be good . Otherwise , why bother in releasing the album ? . I mean , there are productions cost to be covered , promotional type ones , flying tickets/travel , LOTS of things that have to be paid , and if the album sells 3 copies , they are not going to cover with that . So i doubt that nobody cares about how much it sells. Well Coldplay and U2 are aiming to be released in May/june , the same time radiohead was :wink3:

The record label might :p . Why putting 2 of your acts head to head in chart competition ? . They can distribute the budget better if they are released apart :wink3:

Afraid of having their album released in the same week/month as U2/Coldplay :rolleyes: . Why shouldnt they be afraid :lol:

Interview producer redone had a few days ago. He talked about new gagas single and working with U2 DEAD at people believing or thinking u2 might go back to Joshua days. They are working with jennifer Lopez , lady gagas producer LOL :lol: I guess Bono wants this to be big :lol:

Coldplay was releasing a few months after that :d
