Chris Martin Coldplay - What happened to his voice??
Saw them performed on MTV Movie Awards & was disappointed with Chris's singing....it wasn't very good at all & sounded like he was struggling.
I actually like Coldplay but not sure of their new album as for a start I don't like their La Vida song. |

Strange - perhaps a poor sound system? Or maybe he just had a bad voice day, he's usually quite good at singing live.
I'm a big fan of them and the latest single, Violet Hill, and I also like Viva La Vida a lot! I hope the promise of 'This is the album we'll remember them by' comes true when it's released next week. |

I think I must be the only person in the world who can't stand Coldplay. I much prefer Keane. Tom Chaplin has a brilliant voice - I have always thought Chris Martin's voice weak and feeble.

Oh, and trust me, you're not the only person in the world who hates Coldplay. Let's just say you fit into these forums just fine.

I agree with that to some extent. I do like Coldplay actually, I think they've made some great records, but prefer Keane -and Tom's voice is far superior to Chris Martin's. Live it's amazing, so powerful.

Believe me Love Bear, you are not! I find a lot of their stuff very drab, depressing and it just sounds very wintery. One of my friends often refers to Coldplay's music as elevator music. I wouldn't want to be stuck in an elevator listening to Coldplay's music to be honest, but I do think there are far more boring artists out there to warrant being called 'elevator music.'

Oh thank god, some people agree! All their songs make me want to bury a hole underground and never surface again! They all sound exactly the same, and CM's voice seems restricted to the same pitch! :sleep:

My hubby went through a phase of playing The Scientist in the car (he rather likes Coldplay ) and I really felt the urge to either a) slit my wrists, b) stab him or c) divorce him. It was hell.

I like Chris's recorded voice but speaking as a fan, I must admit that he's always been a pretty crap live singer.

Just listened to that and it was nowhere near as bad as I was expecting - he just sounds out of breath to me, which often leads to flat notes. There are a load of singers in bands nowadays which sound worse than that live (and even on record!) to be quite honest.

I loved VH, but can't get enough of Viva La Vida, sensational song writing.
I think bashing Coldplay is just a true showcase of traditional British attitude of knocking someone when they're on top. We should celebrate the fact that we produce global stars. Yes criticism is ok, if you don't like something fair enough, but i do find far too many people slate them simply 'because' |

Well this is it. A lot of people clearly do feel that their music is depressing, if not soul-destroying in some instances, particularly given that it is overplayed and often at the wrong time! I remember having a discussion with a Head of Music whilst I did some work experience at a local station, and he decided to ask me a few questions about the sort of music the station played. At the time, "The Scientist" was on heavy rotation, and it was the middle of June. I pointed out that if I turned on the radio on a nice day and heard that blaring out, I'd immediately go elsewhere and find another station because it just doesn't fit the sort of mood I'd want to be in on a nice summer's day.

I just think the "feel" of the song is too similar as well between their songs. The tempo doesn't differ a lot and there's a lot of reliance on very minimalistic background to CM's vocals, which do have a limited timbre in themselves. |

Keane are better than Coldplay? Are you lot serious?
I'd bet my house that Coldplay will have a much more successful career. |

I was expecting it to be OK but I came away really blown away by them, as did my mate who had previously been extremely cynical about them. |

Just seems that with each passing single they sound more and more like Aha.
