Amazing...wow!

As much as I dislike PoC, it was actually pretty good this time around.

Highlight of the night: When CM was just sitting with the ParaOrchestra. A small gesture like that makes a 80,000 seat stadium feel like their playing in my living room. Was pretty neat.

She actually did a pretty good job this time. The best of the 3 performances so far. And as someone who really can't stand her most of the time, that's saying something,lol!

I don't make a big deal about this since I don't believe one's disability should in any way define them, but as a visually impaired musician, that moment meant the world to me! One of those moments that made me literally cry. And there was absolutely nothing condescending about Chris' or the band's attitude As if I didn't already respect them enough, they had to go and add that bit of class.

Coldplay , Paralympics ! ohhh It was really emotional!
Seeing them grow from being a small indie band to the Band that closes the London 2012 Olympics ……Its a Journey! Chris Martin, You don’t know how proud we are of you! Jonny, Guy and Will…You guys were amazing! Watched the show on a live stream just because I wanted to watch it with the fandom till 3 AM in the night. I almost felt like crying! #SoProud
