Chris doesn't use auto-tune and almost never lip-syncs, that I know of. Even when his throat is sore, he'd rather do a REAL vocal and risk mistakes. Something I have no end of respect for him for.:)

The problem is Chris can't sing Paradise live. He's never been able to do it. He's a better singer than that, but when all people hear is an ehh Rihanna, and a off tune Chris, it sounds bad. I can't wait until they move on from Paradise promo, and go into CB promo.

I loved the Coldplay performance. Rihanna looked like a groupie from the 1970s (like Sabel Starr for example). Sabel wears a black dress like Rihanna and usually wears shorts like the ones Rihanna wore on stage. Rihanna also wore the same blonde hairstyle of Sabel and other groupies like Shray Mecham, Nancy Spungen. I think you should look up these groupies and see how much Rihanna copied their look. A good place to look is at whosdatedwho.com and other places.

I'm wondering if Chris is reading anything negative and taking it hard. Any fan knows that he is a worrier and paranoid at times and takes things pretty hard. I know he's a big boy and all of that, but I still can't help but get defensive for them/him and feel bad if he's feeling bad. I'm a softie.

As for the reviews, it's funny how the are all over the place. One says they rocked the house. Another said it was a highlight of the evening. Another said it wasn't their best performance. One said Rihanna never sounded better (huh?) while others says both had pitch problems. They were all over the place.

Honestly, I think it's been a bit overblown. It wasn't bad. I wish the Rihanna thing never happened, but it was fine. Chris came to the states just days ago and has had 4 big events to do....while not feeling well. I'm sure they cancelled the Australia trip next week because he's been under the weather and needs time to rest his voice and get well.


To me, Dave Grohl was advocating actual musicianship....people putting their mouth to a microphone and singing and playing an instrument - which our guys do. I know fans have a hard time overlooking the cut down to Coldplay in their video. I know I did, but I think things have been decent between the two since then. As for auto-tune, all you have to do is listen to one Coldplay song and realize that Chris doesn't use it. I'm going to choose to believe that Dave was cutting down the studio tricks that some use to make themselves sound perfect and those that don't play instruments or sing live.

I'll end with a pet peeve.....lip synching. These people get glowing reviews..."they sounded great!" Of course they did! Irritating.

Poor Chris I wish we could do something to help :(

I dont think the Coldplay grammy proformace was bad at all. I dont know why people are being so negative.

I wasn't so impressed with the Foo Fighters all their songs are sounding the same these days. Dave Gorhl cant sing live thats why he screams.

^^^Chris is a worrier and does take things hard, and he probably knew he made some mistakes. But they've said in interviews that they try and avoid reviews, so he's probably not seeing the negative things said. Not as much as us on the forum who follow every detail. :)

Totally agree! It totally sounds awsome live! It does! :kiss:

And why criticize Chris´voice perfomance at grammynight?? I just watched the show on youtube - and he sounded great (even though, he was sick!)!! - and looked great, I might add! :rolleyes:

But you are correct - Rihanna didn´t deliver - her voice performance in POC was off tune and weak. Chris had to carry that song on his own - and so he did!
I just wished, they had song more of the song - but then again...Rihanna didn´t sound great live so I guess, it was fine, they didn´t do more...

Coldplay deserved to win in all the catagories, they were nominated in... :confused:

Chris is my best singer and i think he's the best voice in the world .. I do love it! I'm full of respect and admiration for him, he put passions in his music and even when he made mistakes ... the power of the performance predoninates.. BUT, having said that, I can not deny that I didn't like the Grammys' performance at all.
I'm trying hard to be positive about the change they're having but no... the loss of quality and passion, TO ME, is undeniable. I understand everything ... the succes, the tiredness, etc.. but I really hope they will take time to reflect about it!! I also hope that these criticisms (some extreme, actually) could help somehow ;)

PS: hope to improve my english too.... :D

She chooses not to be glitzy, glammy and over-produced like Rhi-Rhi and Gaga and Katy Perry and Nicky and on and on... I AM SO GLAD TO SEE THAT! She does her own thing, her own way. She was gorgeous and stunning, and I rather look at her standing on stage in a simple black dress singing, than seeing Rhianna half naked and dancing like a stripper. Boring some say, but that is RAW talent. Go Adele. She deserved every Grammy she won!

wow you just made my day!:nice:

im sure they will. they must have realized what a damage another MX-sounding album will do. my dream is for them to work with nelson again at some point

I think that it is time to go back to the Parachutes and AROBTTH era. Everybody knows Coldplay now because of Viva and Paradise. If they make an album in the old style, everybody will say they are worldclass. In my opinion, the music during that era is the best that's ever been written, but the big public doesn't know songs like One I Love, We Never Change and Everything's Not Lost. You can't dislike those songs, and with Coldplay's popularity everybody will like them, I think. Just my opinion. They will be the new Beatles.

I mean, for me they are better than the Beatles, but they will be the next Beatles in this big world of music.

^:nod: Agreed. 100 % :nod:
