At least he said he looks up to the Boss and U2. Should've said Radiohead and Travis though  |

Some pretty funny bits in this. The Jagger stuff was great.  |

Why did he get depressed when singing Yellow? Because he knows he's screwed himself the last couple of years? I noticed that too. Hopefully the band members wondered what the hell happened with the final product of HFTW and AOO, and then proceeded to play Parachutes, AROBTTH, and VLV, all in a row, on a loop for him.  |

Chris even sings the "plan a mass murder" lyric!!  Is this the same Chris Martin as the one who said he was inspired by Flo Rida? No, of course not! Chris Martin is dead. |

Here's a rare picture of the Chris Martin we all know with Beyonce circa 2006. Look how socially awkward he seems. Probably had great song circulating in his head at the time.  |

This is still the Chris Martin that might have been thinking "Why the fuck am I sat next to Beyoncé? Where's Micheal Stipe and Thom?" |

Performing monkey sell outs. Paraded in front of the press in children's TV presenter clothes not having a clue about American Football, totally devoid of any artistic direction or clue in where they're going as a band and citing Beyonce (bae?!) as someone they look up to. I really do feel sometimes that they're being driven by record bosses. |

Listening to Parachutes is like relaxing on a hill in front of a golden sunset. All hazy atmospherics and stretching shadows. It's so gorgeously intimate and luxurious - people always call it a rainy day album but I disagree, for me it's a summers evening record. The sun burns still (Yellow, Shiver, Spies) but it's cooler, more melancholy and the atmosphere's blurring of light and dark is somehow just right.

Why are Coldplay hacking up their songs in the Superbowl? Anyway, this is awful. The Americanisation/kids TV of Coldplay is complete.

Wasn't a bad performance at all! Proves that these four still are one of the greatest live acts of today, even if they can't write songs anymore. Every performance of theirs was amazing, especially that Clocks/Fix You/Up&Up (with a bit of U2's Beautiful Day thrown in? Not sure) medley at the end, which worked surprisingly well. And by fuck am I ecstatic that they didn't play Hymn for the Weekend. That song is a disgrace to humanity.  There were a few parts I didn't like, though. Everything going on around the band was a joke, from the flashy eyesore colors, to the flowers, to the fucking "believe in love" shit at the end. What the fuck were they thinking??? Only the Beatles can use vibrant rainbows, blooming flowers, and messages of love and still look cool. Worse yet, the audience was composed mostly of teenage girls bearing an uncanny resemblance to One Direction fangirls. But much much worse was when Chris joined Bruno and Beyonce. That made me want to lose my lunch. |

That made me want to lose my lunch. I kind of liked all of those colors. I think they made up for not being able to do Mylobands (lack of darkness) and the whole "Believe in love" message was an alright message for the band to send to the World. However, Chris embracing those Directoner lookalikes was odd. I doubt you'd ever see Bono, or really any of his other counterparts, doing something like that in a million years, no matter how much Bono has been a crowd-orientated guy. The most cringeworthy moment had to be Chris joining Bruno and Beyonce, while leaving Jonny, Guy, and Will behind. Other than that, it was a good Halftime show. Best one in a few years, I'd say. It really embraced the history aspect of Super Bowl 50 well. |

That performance was embarrassing. Feel like bringing the theyknowwhatimean out of myself for a bit! I find it not only sad but hilarious that Coldplay sold themselves out so much, that they didn't have the balls to carry the show on their own and needed two more well known artists to 'help' them out. Not really help, but completely make it their show! This was completely Bruno Mars and Beyonce feat. Coldplay and Mark Ronson. Yes Uptown Funk is a tune but this is supposed to be about Coldplay right? It also felt very rushed compared to past half time performances, and in general Coldplay was just out of place for the whole thing. This was what Coldplay played: - Viva La Vida (shortened) - Paradise (shortened) - Adventure of A Lifetime (shortened) - Clocks + Fix You (mashup) - Up & Up (ending) I understand that they need to fit in several songs in such a short time but wasn't at least a good 5 minutes taken up by Beyonce and then 3 by Bruno alone? The ending reminded me how cheesy Up & Up is at the ending unfortunately. It isn't terrible but still gets very saccharine and the colorfulness of the whole show just amplified that. Only two things I liked from this show: Uptown Funk (embarrassing when it's supposed to be Coldplay's show) and Guy looking ultra cool in that jacket (but when doesn't he? ) Too bad for Mr. Mainstream Martin, since social media has buzzing more about Beyonce being sexy and performing great alongside Bruno, and that Coldplay ruined the show. These guys (particularly Chris) need to understand that they're just embarrassing themselves trying to be hip and need to go back to their roots if they want to be taken seriously again in the music scene. One guy I saw said they should've just stopped at Viva La Vida during the show and let Beyonce etc. take over! F*ckin' hell! Had to get 'Warning Sign' on to remind me that this band actually used to be amazing! www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjpmIeGqOfKAhUDOBoKHQHsB_EQyCkIHjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dh8oTT9r9978&usg=AFQjCNFkP9XRM1fJGwyOTQsX9XtMdbpoxQ&sig2=XKaIDjUdnsZrlJKB-Gx5vQ&bvm=bv.113370389,d.dmo |

Imagine if they were in 2009 live show mode and had it Viva La Vida-themed! This performance single handedly trumps the halftime show.

It's really sad this band used to be THIS GOOD LIVE. When they were still so young.

I know it's a great honor to play the Super Bowl but it's kinda insulting the NFL said that Beyonce and Bruno Mars also have to appear as if Coldplay alone weren't enough. So it's sorta like a co-headliner.

Chris Martin once shared the stage with people like Micheal Stipe and Richard Ashcroft. And now? Beyoncè and Bruno fucking Mars? Fuck off!  |
