I like the video but I prefer the X-Factor live performance. They should have just used it as a video.

http://popcrush.com/katy-perry-coldplay-musicares-paul-mccartney-tribute-concert/ I wonder which Beatles song they'll play. Katy Perry, Coldplay + More to Perform at MusiCares Benefit Concert Honoring Paul McCartney by: Jeff Giles 8 hours ago Coldplay and Katy Perry Chris Jackson / Jeff Bottari, Getty Images Not only will Katy Perry and Coldplay be performing on the Grammy Stage Feb. 12, the two popsters will be honoring Paul McCartney two days prior at this year’s MusiCares tribute concert. Alicia Keys is also listed as a performer. Part of an annual tradition dating back to 1991, this year’s MusiCares Person of the Year concert will be held in Los Angeles, with tickets ranging from $1,500 to $100,000. It sounds awfully pricey, even with that lineup, but it’s for a good cause: MusiCares offers a safety net for musicians who need assistance in times of financial, personal, or medical crisis. In addition to Coldplay, Perry, and Keys, this year’s list of performers includes Foo Fighters, Alison Krauss, Norah Jones, and past Person of the Year honorees James Taylor and Tony Bennett — as well as McCartney himself, who’ll be promoting his latest album, the collection of pop standards ‘Kisses on the Bottom.’ So what Beatles songs would you like Katy and Chris Martin to cover? Sound off in the comments below.

No, it's the 2012 Coldplay Diaries. So going to concerts this year and reporting about it.

Thx.

I totally get her for having been married for 17 yrs to the sweetest man I know. It wouldn't be normal if they didn't have those ups and downs. I really appreciate her candor and respect her for it. Of course the Daily Telegraph has already lifted one quote from that interview out of context and written an outrageous article about it. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/9055909/Gwyneth-Paltrow-women-who-want-children-should-be-stay-at-home-mothers.html

Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin: 'We're still into it' By Ann Oldenburg, USA TODAY Updated 3h 2m ago By Terry Richardson Gwyneth Paltrow -- movie star, mom, wife, businesswoman and more -- is opening up, just a little bit, about her husband, Coldplay's Chris Martin. "He's very communicative," she says in the March issue of Harper's Bazaar, "which is rare for a British man." She cites her father's practical advice on the secret to a long-lasting marriage: "My parents (Bruce Paltrow and Blythe Danner) were married for 30-something years, and he said [it was] because they never wanted to get divorced at the same time." She seems to take the ups and downs in stride. "I think you do fall in and out of love and you just keep going, and every time you go through a really difficult phase, you rediscover something new and it just gets better. We've been married for more than eight years now, and we're still into it." Paltrow says it's about compromise, recently giving advice to a girlfriend along those lines. "She is an actress and in a new relationship with someone else with a big career, and I said this may not be feminist, but you have to compromise. It's been all about you and you're a big deal. And if you want what you're saying you want — a family — you have to be a wife, and that is part of the equation. Gloria Steinem may string me up by my toes, but all I can do is my best, and I can do only what works for me and my family." When Coldplay goes on its upcoming world tour, it will incorporate 10-day spans at home interspersed with three-week blocks of traveling. And Paltrow will plan for that. "I have little kids in school. I want to maintain my marriage and my family, so I have to be here when he comes home." On Goop: "Everything I've done has been completely organic, and that's why the brand is a strong brand, because there is no ulterior motive behind it," she says. On aging: "I'll take my wrinkles," she says. "I don't like the Botox thing." On her diet: When she's not detoxing, "I eat whatever I want. I like bread and cheese and wine, and that makes my life fun and enjoyable." http://content.usatoday.com/communities/entertainment/post/2012/02/gwyneth-paltrow-chris-martin-were-still-into-it-/1

Coldplay expected to announce Australian tour in late 2012 by: Kathy McCabe, Music Editor From: The Daily Telegraph February 01, 2012 9:20AM 17 comments To tour Australia ... Coldplay's Chris Martin is playing two shows in Sydney later this month before national tour later in year. (AP Photo/Paul White) Source: AP ROCKERS Coldplay are expected to announce an Australian tour for late 2012 during a quick visit to Sydney this month. The supergroup, whose single Paradise is the biggest hit of their 15-year career, will head to Sydney directly after performing at the Grammys on February 12. Chris Martin and mates will play intimate shows for radio station 2DAY FM and Sunrise during their two-day visit on February 16 and 17, which is being sponsored by Huawei Mobile. Bands once regarded corporate sponsorship as "selling out" but Sydney would have lost Lady Gaga's Monster Hall concert and The Pussycat Dolls' Sydney Opera House gala if Vodafone and X-Box respectively hadn't picked up the tab. Coldplay played at Splendour In The Grass six months ago on the eve of finishing their record Mylo Xyloto, which went double platinum yesterday. Martin will be hoping the tour gives Paradise the push it needs to make it to the top of the charts, which would give Coldplay their first No.1 single in Australia. He has joked he is jealous his wife Gwyneth Paltrow beat him to that feat - with her Huey Lewis duet Cruisin' reaching No.1 here in 2000. http://www.perthnow.com.au/entertainment/perth-confidential/coldplay-expected-to-announce-australian-tour-in-late-2012-during-trip-to-sydney-this-month/story-e6frg30l-1226259370435

I wonder if there's an interview as well?

Oh dear! She keeps pushing boundaries.

I don't know where she got the info, the band haven't said a word about it. Coldplay releases third single ‘Charlie Brown’ 1/27/2012 Gabriele Dow Remember the Peanuts’ Charlie Brown? You could count on him to put a smile on your face. Coldplay named their latest single after that youthful but strong character, and painted a similar picture. In the context of their fifth album Mylo Xyloto, “Charlie Brown” fits perfect as a song that tackles “all the boys, all the girls, all the madness that occurs” in the world. As a radio song, it is a lively, upbeat anthem with lyrics anyone can relate to and sonically is one of their best songs yet. The album discusses the highs and lows of life and relationship, and this is definitely a high, even if it comes out of defeat. “When they smashed my heart into smithereens/ be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete,” croons Chris Martin. The grandiosity of the music supports its uplifting lyrics, but Chris Martin does not forget to control the music with his voice, never being outdone. That formula has been a successful one throughout the years for Coldplay, and is followed to near perfection here. The way this song is will be received by the mainstream is yet to be determined, but what is a fact is that Coldplay will help anyone who listens start their year off with a bang. “Light a fire, a fire, a spark, light a fire, a flame in my heart. We’ll run wild; we’ll be glowing in the dark.”

I wonder if that's the stage for the MX tour?

Do you already have somebody for Atlanta on July 2nd? I'm going.

You should also check the band's official website coldplay.com for the whole discography. You can find some full concerts on youtube. In fact I just watched the Toronto 2006 concert yet again today. If you want to enjoy your experience at a Coldplay concert though, you should definitely get A Rush Of Blood To The Head. Many of the sing along songs they play in concerts are from that album, In My Place, Clocks, Scientist, God Put A Smile On Your Face, etc. I can't wait to go see them again in July.

Taylor is young. She and Chris bond on musical level. I really don't listen to her music but I thought she did a good job with her Viva La Vida on the whim cover at BBC a while back. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb1pLI0MukQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb1pLI0MukQ[/ame]

I know but from all the snippets we've been getting since December, it seems they're hanging out a lot and that makes me so happy.

I'm so elated they're spending all this time together b/c come April, Chris is going to be traveling all over Europe and North America for quite a while. I hope they start to relax a little bit more and forget about the paps. Still that picture of Chris putting a fork in his mouth is a bit disturbing. That was a very private moment. I wish they'd leave them alone already.

Taylor is actually Chris' friend.

She tweeted about it. I wonder if she knew they don't do pictures together in public. Taylor had a gig at Abby Road.

Fix You, hands down. I went to a gig last September. This woman next to me was in tears b/c the band had said good bye and left the stage. Somehow she didn't know they'd come back for an Encore. I was able to wrap my arm around her and assure her that the band was coming back to play Fix You, that she shouldn't despair. The joy on her face was priceless. So live, it would be a cardinal sin for Coldplay to ever omit to play Fix You. But Viva is a close second in my book.

I'm not as outraged as some by the misspelling. It's a difficult title if you're not a fan. But here is to Charlie Brown! I'm so hoping that the performance of Princess of China at the Grammys is going to be so epic that the whole world will want to buy the album or just the single. I'm hoping that the Grammys powers-to-be let them play both Charlie Brown and Princess of China.

On the Charts: The Black Keys and Coldplay Prove Rock's Staying Power Plus: Will the death of Megaupload boost album sales? By Steve Knopper January 25, 2012 1:30 PM ET WINNER OF THE WEEK: Rock music. For more than a year, we've been reporting on the moribund sales and radio impotence of what was, for decades, the most dominant genre in pop music. Last year, we remarked numerous times on the Cakes, Strokes and Hollywood Undeads that surged up the charts in their first weeks only to plunge into sales obscurity immediately afterwards. And while it's the slow time of year and CDs have to sell very little to cling to the Top 10, suddenly we're noticing rock albums with staying power. The Black Keys' El Camino is at Number Three (with 29,000 in sales) in its seventh week; Coldplay's Mylo Zyloto is at Number Nine (17,000) in its 13th week; and Nickelback's Here and Now is at Number 10 (almost 17,000) in its ninth week. These are tiny sales, but they're something to build on. What the genre really needs is a gigantic, "Rolling in the Deep"-style single to dominate radio and cross over to lift everybody else up. LOSER OF THE WEEK: Megaupload. The crazy story of Kim Dotcom and his (alleged) $175 million copyright-infringement empire is playing out in a New Zealand courtroom. (To sum up: the 38-year-old German founder of Megaupload.com was indicted last week for building a massive worldwide business off illegal file-sharing, from music to movies to porn; he was denied bail yesterday.) By Megaupload's own pre-indictment accounting, the site had more than 180 million users and 50 million daily visits and comprised 4 percent of the Internet's traffic. So now that Megaupload is busted out of existence, will sales of legitimate music surge again, in such a way that the 10th-best-selling album on the charts will no longer sell a minuscule 17,000 copies? The Recording Industry Association of America thinks so, claiming digital-music sales increased last year due to the shut-down of the venerable file-sharing service LimeWire. There may be a bit of truth in that, but we believe Adele's 21 – which became the biggest Number One album since Whitney Houston's The Bodyguard soundtrack in this week – and its various massive singles had far more to do with this than any tech company. SURGING SINGLES FOR EVERYONE: It's that superstar-single time of year again, when artists prep for pre-summer album releases and try to build buzz as much as possible via YouTube, iTunes, Spotify and, of course, radio. We remarked recently on Jason Mraz's out-of-nowhere "I Won't Give Up" (now holding at Number Two on BigChampagne's Ultimate Chart, which measures Internet buzz). Joining that single in the Surge Department is Tyga's lowest-common-denominator "Rack City" (now at 17.4 million YouTube views and one viewer's classic comment, "This porn has terrible music"), which jumped 18 spots on the Ultimate Chart to Number Five; dance-music master David Guetta's "Turn Me On" (with Nicki Minaj), which jumped 23 spots on last week's Ultimate Chart and just became the Number One digital single, selling 198,000; and Kelly Clarkson's "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)," which jumped 53 spots on the Ultimate Chart, to Number 17, selling 175,000 copies this week. These are all over the iTunes songs charts, as well, and could wind up foreshadowing early 2012's biggest hits. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/on-the-charts-the-black-keys-and-coldplay-prove-rocks-staying-power-20120125

Gwynnie has got me cooking up a storm. Yesterday I tried her Vegan Paella recipe, adding turkey to mine and it came out great. Now I'm bold enough to make it for my friend and her family. She just gave birth to twins.

Adele can't possibly win Best Group. She doesn't qualify.

Let's hope it's still available tomorrow.

Nice video! I was so focused on the band I hated the balloons hitting me in the face. LOL I actually found them annoying but most people enjoyed them.
