Who cares?

Yeah, it's annoying, but just don't watch.

meh! wait til Sky steals the rights for Glee, and then let them have Coldplay songs

IloveChris · 28-09-2011, 06:19 PM

Didn't Coldplay agree to give Glee their whole catalogue?

I'm pretty sure there's gonna be more songs than just 'Fix You' on the episode.

I just don't know what to make of it yet.

Brent · 28-09-2011, 06:35 PM

From what I understand, it's sort of etiquette for bands to agree to this kind of stuff. It's free publicity, and it's negative press if they choose not to share their stuff.

Yeah, it's screwy, but that's the way it works with this Glee stuff.

Valentina · 28-09-2011, 06:43 PM

I think the annoying thing will be when a lot of people are gonna listen to Fix you on you tube and are gonna say "ohh this is the song from Glee!!" or "thumbs up if you're here because of Glee" and I know I should avoid reading these comments but when it's about Coldplay I just get angry! I personally don't like Glee, because sometimes they completely destroy some songs, but I agree that this is a good publicity for their music.

Blue Nails · 28-09-2011, 06:46 PM

We could see this coming, but it still sucks. I don't like Glee. They're way too happy and way too autotuned.

BerrymanGirl1 · 28-09-2011, 07:13 PM

Will Shuester is going to sing Fix You, i heard part of it last night when they did the promo for it, it sounds okay.

For me it is really that simple.

I never, ever understood this line of thinking. It's this ridiculous "out-of-sight-out-of-mind" way of thinking. I'm sorry, but I don't view anything in life like that. It deeply saddens me to learn that a song that means so much for many people is going to be trashed on Glee. Yes, the performances will be great I'm sure, yes it will be high production, but it's going to lessen the amount of force that song has for so many people.

It's far deeper than that. It's about the rhetoric behind it and the concept of selling music to a television show.

Baw8cc, if you're annoyed by something then why are you so apathetic to it occurring? Just because you aren't watching it doesn't mean it isn't happening.

Nonsense. There are plenty of bands that would never, ever sell their music to Glee. "Etiquette" or not. In fact, Coldplay from a few years ago would never do it.

It seems the Chris Martin of 2002 agrees with me:

"We wouldn't be able to live with ourselves if we sold the songs' meanings like that"

Heh.

The fact that so many people's posts were along the lines of "if you don't like it, then don't watch it" show they don't really understand why people are disappointed. This isn't really about Glee - it's about musical integrity.

Both Kiame and I quoted Chris Martin from 2002 where he made it clear that the band would never resort to selling the songs' meanings. And yet here we are, just 9 years later, where Coldplay reneged on their earlier statements.

Let's not kid ourselves and say this is about publicity - there's plenty of other ways a band or musician can make their music heard.... without resorting to selling songs for the highest price.

secretspy · 29-09-2011, 02:14 AM

Who you thinks gonna sing it?!

JackZ · 29-09-2011, 02:28 AM

Well, in all fairness, a while back it came out that they said no to Glee and got bad press for it, so saying yes at that point wasn't really their choice. And it's not like they were going, "Hey, how can we get Fix You to be more popular?" and allowed Glee to use it. Glee wanted to use it and it sort of seems like the polite thing to do for them to say, "Yeah, sure you can cover our song."

This isn't a car commercial, it's a televised cover.

Here's a demo from 2010...sounds remarkably close to the promo

Blah, that's far worse than I imagined it sounding. It sounds really cheesy. I don't like the traditional musical theatre sounding voices on the top of that song.
