Rihanna's voice is just a bit strange

(Sorry for my bad English) I've already heard the whole album and I've pre-order it too. As a 'long-time die hard fan' I've got say it's a very 'strange' album. I like the idea that most of the songs support each other that's why you'll need to listen the whole album in one moment and not just random choose songs if you're hearing it for the first time ;) My favourite songs are (My Fav album is Parachutes so...): UFO (it has the same guitar chords of wedding bells beautiful), Up In Flames (love the falsetto), Up With The Birds (very experimented + the end: guitar and drums drop in; nice) and of course UATW (very lovely song) => they're all very acoustic MX + HLH make a good combination too (nice guitar); CB is going to be a hit PoC I don't know; Chris and Rihanna make a good duet but I think I need to listen it a few more time Paradise I can live with that MMIX + ETIAW they make a good combination too (just don't like ETIAW) Major Minus: really like it (reminds me of GPASUYF) DLIBYH reminds me of A Whisper very powerfull too; like it ;) I know some people will disagree with my review and I think that's quite normal because everybody has his own opinion and feelings about it ;)

Yes, it was kind of disrespectful but like you said, they shouldn't have been on the Main Stage just before Coldplay. I like Portishead but I'd rather see Elbow before Coldplay ;)

It was amazing ! I really liked the setlist, although I really hoped that they were going to play PoC but it was still incredible ! I stood at the front and all those lights, people... goosebumps ! The crowd was amazing too. Charlie Brown was more powerful then ever ! You could see that Chris Martin enjoyed it too. A lot of energy. But during the performance of Portishead (they were on stage just before Coldplay) some people already started to sing Viva La Vida. You may always sing Viva La Vida (because it's definitely a really nice festival song!) but not during a performance of someone else. I Like Portishead but RW shouldn't put them just before Coldplay on the Main Stage. Elbow would have been much better(my opinion). But all this left behind it was still a nice performance, like always. Chris Martin also tried to say some words in Dutch like: goedendag (good day) Chris Martin also made a joke that the next song ( UATW) is specially for all the Iron Maiden fans :p

If you want to hear it online (XFM) and it doesn't work just fill in a postcode of England like I did and then it will work :) e.g. N10AF (london)
