ok! the press conference has been announced! will be live streamed. great if someone can record it. [MEDIA=twitter]694654856200654853[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://twitter.com/superbowl50/status/694654856200654853

right.

Good gosh! That's just spot on!! Hahaa!

just to give you an idea, considerable coverage about beyonce featuring in the half time show was reported like this:

yes. more accurately 12:37 am est on cbs.

fyi, every recent half time headliner held a press conference on the thursday before the super bowl. so look out for it this thursday.

@Jedi Leo can you tell me what the ad is?

good :)

guess we can remove the closing date and inform everyone when the poll would be closed like you suggested? looks like i can't set a new closing date unfortunately..

i think that would be best :) i'll edit the poll. will keep you posted on the advertising. edit: looks like i don't have the option to change the poll closing date other than remove it. let me check on it later when i have more time.

just to put my two cents, this whole discussion becomes a moot point when some people go patronizing/mocking another group of people for liking coldplay's newer output and calling them beliebers and laughing at them. i've seen some users enjoying feeling superior that others, more than i liked to see. to me, that's the biggest problem, although it is multifaceted.

Related Coldplay frontman Chris Martin to appear on 'Carpool Karaoke' James Corden has filmed Carpool Karaoke with Elton John The Coldplay singer will appear on the Tuesday night edition of The Late Late Show (CBS, 12:35 a.m.) in “Carpool Karaoke,” the viral bit in which famous people croon their hits with Corden in a car. Martin’s installment — which includes such singles as “Adventure of a Lifetime” and “Viva La Vida” — is built around the fact that he needs to get to Santa Clara for Coldplay’s halftime performance at Super Bowl 50. “It’s more of a road trip than it is a Carpool in many ways,” Corden told EW. “I’m such a fan of his. I’m a fan of that band — they mean the world to me. It was very funny. He brought a keyboard over, and it involved an overnight stay.” See if you get a rush of blood to the head by previewing Martin’s journey through song — and California — with Corden. ew

i'm sure that was his birthday :)

you know, i was thinking if chris' clean water initiative in india would be affected by all these nonsense going around.. that would be a shame.

this is supposedly from the cbs interview. good thing they cut it out. otherwise chris would have said this on national (US) tv, without even knowing what he said. lol

i thought this is a well thought out piece, from an indian. Viewpoint: Is India's outrage over Coldplay justified? By Sandip RoyKolkata Image copyrightGetty Images Image captionChris Martin starts out as a normal wide-eyed white tourist In 1492 Christopher Columbus was looking for India. In 2016 Christopher Martin aka Chris Martin discovered it. Coldplay's music video featuring Beyoncé has made landfall and it seems to have broken the Indian internet. It is the great Western discovery of Incredible India all over again. Age cannot wither her nor Coldplay stale her infinite variety. Every cliché has found its way into the video except perhaps the Taj Mahal. There are peacocks and Bharatanatyam dancers, yellow and black taxis, saffron-clad holy men, their robes in slow-mo full flow. In director Ben Mor's vision it is as if a locust swarm of candy-coloured M&Ms is splattered all over India. "When you take a closer look at India, surrealism and psychedelia immediately come to mind, at least to mine," says Mr Mor. No wonder the taxi has psychedelic interiors. The temple seems to be made out of marshmallow. The boats are candy-striped as they head out into a firework sunset. Cultural appropriation? But it's still not colour saturation enough for the good people of India who play Holi all day long, dousing each other in great joyous rainbow showers. Chris Martin starts out as a normal wide-eyed white tourist, the sort that sticks his head out of a taxi-cab to inhale the wonders of India. By the end he's soaked in the colour a little too literally, as if a children's sit-and-draw competition trampled all over him. First-world citizens are often transformed by their "India experience". Some find spirituality. Some find drugs. Some find the Marabar caves. Chris Martin finds Technicolor and he becomes in the end, if not a person of colour, at least a more colourful person. Pump up the colour saturation. This is eat, pray, love in the age of Instagram. Many Indians have not been amused. Et tu, Coldplay? Hybrid Hues writes: "Coldplay, y'all are British. India was under British occupation less than 70 years ago. So that makes the idea of you talking about "feeling drunk and high" over the felicitations of our children a million times worse. Respect our space in re-establishing our identity and the nation's healing process." And Beyonce, how could you go down the path of cultural appropriation? In the video she turns into a Bollywood queen, doing her thing against an eye-popping wall of flowers. Image copyrightGetty Images Image caption'Pump up the colour saturation. This is eat, pray, love in the age of Instagram' Image copyrightAFP Image captionIndians in the video seem to play Holi all day long, dousing each other in great joyous rainbow showers Actually, given that Bollywood likes its heroines fair and lovely (and the fairer the better), Beyoncé as a Bollywood queen is unintentionally a cheeky bit of subversive casting across the colourline. But the wall of multi-coloured flowers makes the whole spectacle look more like a colour-blindness test than colour-blind casting. Sensory onslaught Anyway, is Beyoncé as Bollywood diva as much cultural appropriation as Madonna doing the same? These notions are contextual, hardly cast in stone. Thus Chinese artist Ai Weiwei closing his eyes and lying face down on a rocky beachin Lesbos is a tribute to a drowned Syrian toddler rather than cultural exploitation because it is Ai doing it. A Manhattan artist might not have got away with it. Coldplay's video is all very Indo-chic and ethno-cool but the Twitterati doth protest too much about cultural appropriation. If Coldplay can be accused of anything, it's being a little too swept away by India's sensory onslaught. Their India is trapped in a tourist-friendly time-warp of hand puppets and simple happy natives. There's not a mobile phone in sight. But give them some credit, there's not a snake charmer in sight either. This is more a wide-eyed valentine to India than an exercise in stereotyping. Cultural appropriation is when Madonna wears a bindi (a bright dot of red colour applied in the centre of the forehead) because it's cool but an Indian aunty with a bindi is still a "dothead" - slang for a South Asian person - somewhere. Cultural appropriation is when some company puts Hindu Gods on slippers and toilet seats because they are bright and colourful, more Disney than divine. And as this article points out, "cultural appropriation is when Bollywood's own Helen dances before a man in blackface in Intaquam and Priyanka Chopra plays Manipuri boxer Mary Kom. Or Bollywood composers are not even conscious that they are "appropriating" the songs of others. Image copyrightGetty Images Of course, Bollywood's insensitivity toward depicting other cultures and races should not be a free pass for Coldplay to do the same. Yes, in the video India is a brightly coloured palette once again for Westerners to get their mojo back, its urchins are happy "slumdogs" prancing around a rich singing millionaire. But, at least Martin is not playing the Western saviour who comes to India to lift the poor natives out of their leprous darkness like Patrick Swayze in The City of Joy. Nor does he chant Sanskrit verses the way Iggy Azalea channels Southern black hip-hop, despite being white and Australian. 'Western gaze' The larger problem the entire furore reveals is not just how thin-skinned we can be, prone to screaming cultural appropriation at the drop of a Selena Gomez bindi but how susceptible we still remain to the power of the Western gaze. Indians still care too much about how we are reflected in the West's golden eye. When an editorial in the New York Times or The Economist critiques the prime minister Indians go apoplectic as they huff "Who cares?" The same Indians are over the moon when those same publications say anything laudatory about the same prime minister. Our anxiety about how the world sees us makes us ultra sensitive to a video like this. Some, like Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor, who has a blink-and-you-missed it cameo scattering flowers, tweets: "A story to tell my grandkids! I was in a Coldplay video! Woo hoo! #biggestfan." At the other extreme people rail angrily about cultural appropriation and Orientalism. Both are overreactions. But really, someone please tell all those tourists getting ready to come to India from drab bed-sit apartments in grey European towns after watching the video, that we don't play Holi all year round. We are too busy listening to Coldplay. bbc

tell me about it! made me realize that if ever a member left coldplay, guy is a good guess. along with chris and will. but hopefully, then mean it when they say they don't want to split up.

hahaa! so many guy dreams! and as luck would have it, i woke up in a panic today because i dreamt of me waking up in a panic to find the news that guy has left coldplay!

Welcome to coldplaying :-)

it's up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=satRkNF5PUo Mobile Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=satRkNF5PUo

hello celine! welcome to coldplaying :)

that's a great idea. let's see what can be done.

possibly, but maybe some months apart. we know that clocks almost didn't make it to a rush of blood because was written last minute and fix you was written for gwyneth when they met right after releasing a rush of blood.

to me that would be viva although guy didn't shine through as he does in some tracks in ahfod.
