Coldplay at the Brit Awards on 18 February 2009

[Annynz]

Love it

[joseie98]

stfu, course there playin live!

[CristianMclovin]

When Chris sing in a performance! just sounds horrible! just sayin' !

[mrbenjitv]

Coldplay was big in the US before this hit but this made them go to another level. If you hit America, you have made it.

[MrRascasseman]

As well as Elbow, these guys were the only worthy acts in this dire show.

[pvtxpotrenko]

i challenge anyone to find a band like this..

[CristianMclovin]

@pvtxpotrenko KEANE!

[GranJamster2011]

OMG THAT WAS A..a.. i i am speechless

[JPBacaBolso]

I N C R E I B L E

[C1rus27]

I dont think there playing live, besides chris... look at 1:56 he aint even playing the guitar and other guy doesnt look like even hittin the bell nor drum if u look closely

[hijlaa]

@C1rus27 Chris is off a few times, doubt that would happen if it were not live

[C1rus27]

@hijlaa i think chris is singing live. but the rest aint

[Shingobc19eft]

One of the best live performanceces ive ever seen.

[CarleyCastro]

i looooove when they get together in the end to harmonize, gorgeous! one of the best bands of all time!

[RetroFreak85]

wtf 25 people

[KKOPPI]

does he use autotune on this??

[TheProspekt42]

@KKOPPI They have never used auto-tune in any of their live performances. In fact, He had a cold for this performance and was really pushing his voice to the limits just so it'd sound like the recording.

[mattsmurfy]

Clearly the whole performance rests on that dude with the big drums/bell. If he 'f's up the whole performance goes to shit. Well played sir. Well played indeed.

[starcraftyt]

So here I am again returned to one of the best performances from Coldplay , HD rullz :)

[Jakeclark12]

coldplay amazes me on how good they are live this on especially thums uup if coldpllay is great live

[heathcolandrea]

wow, not good live.

[niggermania15]

[96Dano]

Too pop...

Coldplay is not this Coldplay that was 5 years ago =(

[water4sure]

[TheProspekt42]

[ForYou6329]

Will is the best.

[gaeadriel]

[E3IIIMaxIIIE3]

Viva la Vida...!!!!

[HollywoodFan21]

COLDPLAY, You are awesome !

[FloridaBoyNick]

though his voice crackes a couple times in this performance, the rest is absolutely amazing.. i <3 coldplay

[Pufferfish701]

One of the few great live bands =D

[missmarypickford]

Not a group I particually like, but this song & this performance is amazing-the drummer is so great to watch. Inspiring.

[TheOpticFilms]

Jonny is AMAZING! Look at him at 1:55!

He's not playing the guitar, and just laughs at Chris!!!!!!

[razryan]

HAHAHA what a rebel :D

[im8teennow]

pause at 0:28

who decided to put a spotlight on Chris' bum hahahaha!

love coldplay to death

(and all his friends)

...but the performance in paris (leftrightleft)

blows this one out of the water

and coldplay haters can SUCK IT!

[nickygou32]

yes!!!!

[MitchelMcCormick]

chris looks like House

[TCall2004]

Not a BAD thing. Hugh Laurie is HOT!

[bamboochafreak]

@MitchelMcCormick

not really

[opposingforce87]

@MitchelMcCormick House copy chris

[coldplaywave]

@MitchelMcCormick I would rather say that House looks like Chris!

[888nd]

cool

[privatejoykim88]

love coldplay, their songs always moved me with tears..

[foelde]

so are they gonna quit?

[GuitarShad0w]

why would they quit ?

[foelde]

Ive heard / read it a few times so.....i hope theyre not going to cuz that would be too bad there great:D

[GuitarShad0w]

nooo! who the f**k said they would ?

[WALKinMYworld]

ohh come on!

leave him alone he is great when it is at 100 percent

[maddoo001]

i saw them at wembley on the 18th of september and chris's voice has definitely improved live over the years.

in general the quality of their music is amazing

one of the best nights of my life

[aarisdastuff]

i love coldplay but dang i wish chris would have clealered his throught or something

[andyrangersoasis]

what the fuck is a throught

[aarisdastuff]

lol oh my bad :)

[TheColdplayWorld]

Oh no! Voice failed him on several occasions, shit!

[syntheticTEK]

wtf.. doesn't seem like they're even playing their instruments. the music didn't seem to be ontime with the musicians. only one i can hear that seemed live, was the singer. might be just me.

[KOLdplayfan11]

as you can tell from my name. i really love both of them and i don't bother comparing them because kings of leon is much more "rock" and COldplay something else. BOTH ARE GREAT. HERE HERE FOR GREAT MUSIC!!

[jerii07]

i seem to like this performance than kol's...maybe it was all the confetti that gave me goosebumps?

anywho, i really love the lead's voice C:

[darren8785]

I  feel sorry for the guy on the drum. that must of ached!

[JamesSillito]

sorry, yer kol are better.....but anyone who says these guys are shit live, or in general, need to grow the foook up!! There awsome.

[faticecreamboy]

i love how they are all so happy together peforming!!!!

[backbeatbobby]

these losers made an out of court setttlement because they totally ripped this song off

[Anyla20]

yew pple dnt lik coldplay

their hott

[ShakespeareAlterEgo]

who is this a-hole talking about KOL!?!? maybe they're a one-hit-wonder!! Count these guys' grammys first!!...longevity...somethin­g KOL will never have! KOL = British wannabes

[91pere]

KOL is an awesome band, just like Coldplay. And they're American, didnt quite understand if u meant they were actually British wannabes, or Americans wanting to be british :D

[crackdown235]

he seems a bit out of breath but still amazing!

[JohnWhite67]

kings of leon blew you off stage!

[tigreslokos]

3:07 WTF, mess up

[kngsofleon]

the whole thing was a mess up LMAO

[backbeatbobby]

pussies

[stormy9370]

I dont no y but i like this song live FML

[MrHuddo]

why did you have to add FML? that is the gayest abbreviation used by the gayest teeny boppers around the world.. please stop

[jacksondoug3]

I like their music but they just seem so plastic live.

[rayjdragonballz]

what do you mean by plastic?

[MrHuddo]

maybe you could show us better yeh?

[grantiepoo]

kings of leon is better

[Chewey57]

SCRATCH THAT. toward the end he just sounded like he was either really nervous or he was losing his voice.

[Chewey57]

it seems like he tried to sing in a different way than the studio version like a lot of other artists do, but he just didn't deliver. its a shame because Coldplay is a great band.

[BOBandBILLrock]

Will Champion played the drums with a lot of effort!!! That must be very hard...

[TheBlargMaster]

wtf anyone who thinks chris martin looks clumsy doesn't know what they're talking about... i've been to two concerts and it makes it sooo much better when he's moving around. it gives so much more enthusiasm to both the crowd and the songs

[malambot12]

It's a nice performance, but I think they should have placed a live string orchestra like the one they did on the 2003 Grammy's for Politik.

[HourOf]

Coldplay Sucks!

Just kidding, I think they are the most influencial music group of this century so far. Really, after the year 2000, in my oppinion, BEFORE the year 2000 also, thy're has never been a better artist who was famous.

[sweeetprincess1]

he is great live ,,,,, no offense to the fans but he sound a little out of track in this performance

[agnrchick]

i am going to see them with Girls Aloud!!

Soooooo Excited!!!

[C1rus27]

when do they play?

[agnrchick]

18th september!! Wembley =]

[vionico4]

DE LAS 10 MEJORES CANCIONES DEL MUNDO

[Scrwpplwhorbttrthnme]

They really screwed me over for the Tampa concert...I still love them though.

[Ising4u93]

its a great song, but the lead singer just didn't deliver..i agree he needs to be behind a piano he just sounds shaky and looks like an ass.

[MikeyTTTT]

true. i was going to see them live, but think i'll give it a miss. he's not a natural performer. shame. "a rush of the blood to the head" is a superb album.

[AngelAnne57]

I don't agree with you (MikeyTTTT), lsing4u93 and paulk1983.

Yes, he does look a bit clumsy, but that's exactly what makes him so irrestibly cute and charming.

And the reason he may sound slightly less brilliant than at concerts is because he always gets nervous when he has to perform at awardshows.

[xmisspnutinix]

Seein them in Glasgow Soon :)

[paulk1983]

Chris Martin is better left singing at the piano or even behind a guitar. He wants to be Bono but he doesn't have the charm. He looks clumsy. Just my opinion anyway.

[InAPearTree21]

It would have been amazing to go to this brit awards.... Kings of Leon, Coldplay, U2, Pet Shop Boys and Brandon Flowers.... Wow.!

[HaZEist]

Kings of Leon are great live too, but they are kinda stiff.Coldplay is ......smooth.Should have won best song !

[bigjokk]

still cant get over how girls aloud bet coldplay to best song

bad times

[toiletduck23]

I thought this was "Girls Aloud??" & Coldplay Ice Vixen was the foxy/ginger wan outta Girls Allowed...(de cranky looking bitch..

[agnrchick]

Girls aloud are the most succesful british group ever.... thats how

[bigjokk]

what a crazy statement, what do you base that assumption on

[liamunited5]

gr8 performance!!!

[xoOMFGox]

I still can't believe that this song lost out to girls aloud's the promise in the best song award at the brits.

It's a great song , possibly amazing :D

[Vivalavida35]

I want them live in Argentina :)

[ElineDeBel]

They're so great when they're playing live ! I've seen them at Werchter and I can tell you, they were unbelievable ! They were so awsome ! ♥

[bergstromfitte]

i belive you!

they're so amazing!

coldplay is the best <3

[2236matty]

it would be a dream come true to go to a coldplay concert! Never been able to go :(

[TheBeatlessss]

I'm going on July 30. :]

Why dont you go see them?

Im pretty sure there in the UK in September.

Your chance to see them live. :O

[keekikins]

magnificent.

i saw the viva la vida show twice and i would do anything to see it again

[OCDLibrarian]

It would be sooo fun to be on stage

[chalk787]

coldplay the best band in the world

[centralbeeee]

i concur

[chutchpong]

It's a legend!!!

[godluck11]

kings of leon much better

[girlfriendPunky]

even if I adore Kings Of Leon I think Coldplay isn't on the same level, the music is way too different to compare. Coldplay is a brilliant band =)

[supaflyz88]

epic

[AnarchyCreations]

whats so beautiful about this song is the fact that it strays from societys usual songs about girls love etc... it shows rare intelligence and this is why it captivates audiences around the world

[souljer0]

while i appreiciate the sentiment, but this is hardly about women

[Garyyx24]

rip billy mays

[alexrukez]

I fucken love coldplay!!!!!!!!!!

[antocf]

FANTASTICO!!!!! viva la vida

[adictsan]

viva la vida!!!!

[slat13]

Coldplay is just amazing.

[Arsenalboyo234]

[xinvo]

es preciosa sta kncion!!!!!!!!!!!¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡­¡¡

[whaaaaat21]

why does he always wear that damn jacket??

anyone know??

[bleedings0ul]

cuz it's the viva la vida fashion, they made it by themselfs :)

[jenny06056]

I Love Chris Martin X3

[cherylkaykloefkorn]

For "BLACKBELTBROWN" Their music is classified as "INDIEMUSIC"see Coldplay T.V. site.Originally coined by musicians making a wide diversion from the "classic pop" music of mainstream radio.The ironic & AWESOME thing that has happened, is that their music has topped pop charts several times. It means audiences are more interested in true art than a lot of major labels & producers might think. The late 60's-early 70's we called it "bubblegum vs underground" music w/advent of 1st F.M.station

[cherylkaykloefkorn]

Chris sings with such passion and gets so carried away by the music and feels every note run through his body, you can see that by the way he moves & yes a completely original way of moving! If you sing most every day of the week w/ the repertoire that they cover, for 5 weeks in a row while dancing at the same time, your voice would probably crack ONCE TOO!

[mcoleman1230]

there good live

[godz1818]

what a relax voice*.*

COLDPLAY RULLEZ

[CrowdrockerUK]

love coldplay!xxxxxxxxx love you guys

[wacarlton]

voice crack at 3:06

gotta love it

[lalano1]

LOL

i heard it!

[Peaceloveandgrease]

yeah its there but that is the only one i agree w/ cherylkaykloefkorn

[RainbowColin]

hahah. i just love how Chris Martin dances.

hah. love this guy.

:D

[blackbeltbrown]

what style of music wuld u call this?it great btw

[Tangibleapparition]

unreal from outer space

[blackbeltbrown]

y did nt they play another song? sinc e this song got accused of plagrism..

[Deathlaugher]

Kings of Leon was much better on the Brit. Chris didnt really sing that good.

but who cares LOVE COLDPLAY <3

[LiamVerich]

tbf brilliant...

[Stewartp]

The audience almost twitched in time with the music - but not quite - true Brits!

[2ndWalk]

coes chris change the melody of the verse to show satriani his wrong wrong wrong? hahah at least he changed it every time the meoldy part came

[theedge76]

thats exactly wat i thought, but who knows, mayb a change in melody wud make the song less annoying to some people

[Francisss666]

That's right but it's still a great song!

[darneishariley]

lol i think that he's usually so busy dancing around and having a good time that he forgets that he's supposed to be hitting the right notes...but he's fun to watch!

[iowahawks1117]

its called improvisation. and i think he was trying to change the melody to make it seem different from satriani's also. i'm a huge coldplay fan, but its prolly a smart thing for him to do, you know? haha

[sociowow]

aaaaaa este grupo es impresionate lo unico y mejor

[michaeltulip17]

Anyone got this on MP3? in good quality? cheers :)

[honeybear278]

I agree with D136000L. They are both amazing bands, so just enjoy them! By the way I love this song! :)

[D136000L]

Why do people keep comparing Coldplay and Kings of Leon? Just enjoy their music, these bands are both great

[MrRutyss]

LOS AMO!!!!! MEJOR IMPOSIBLE!!!

[damatt89]

not to mention this song is 10x harder to sing than Use Somebody.

Big fan of KOL and Coldplay.

But KOL has not reached the same level as coldplay yet.

[laff3rty]

when will chris martin relise that hes shit?

kings of leon totaly out done this completly

[coxoxi]

one of the best songs i've ever heard!!!!!

great band!!!!!

btw.there are many bands as kings of leon, don't sound special at all to me

[ECOguayo]

ok yes kings of leon is great.....

but coldplay is the best thing in the world.... so just viva la vida...!!!!

[coldplaylover1]

100 % agreed

[coldplaylover1]

I LOVE COLDPLAY !!!!!!

[littlebirl]

wHAT A SONG

[SweetaRoxious]

I LOVE Coldplay's songs but I really have to admit with pain in my heart may I add, that Chris overdid it and he strained his voice to the fullest. His voice just cracked at a certain point and you can notice that he was out of air certain places. His voice isn't stable at all in this performance. Maybe he was drinking or so (I'm just trying to justify it, because I really really like them). And he was jumping all over the place so maybe he did have a drink or two.All in all a bit disappointing.

[friskynoob]

just touring too much i guess, they have been touring for so long now his voice needs a rest

[SweetaRoxious]

Yes, it's probably all that touring. :S

[Mariachi182]

I felt like he had no air o.O

[alexandradlcc]

did colplay won?? DEF THIS IS THEEE BETTER BAND IN THE WORLD

VIVA LA VIDA

VIVA COLPLAY

[samgamesby]

unbelieveable

[fonchaz]

great band, great song, great performance!!

[faniasharapova]

they're the best bnad ever, forget Duffy, she sings cool, but like an old woman, forget king of Leon, they're good but not quite enough,

[21bmp04]

Really, Kings of Leon destroyed coldplay at the Brit awards performance-wise, they did Use Somebody and they nailed it. this was good too, but it just didnt have the same energy and feel to it, KoL outperformed them this time

[juliojdp]

coldplay is best everrrr

[blainer369]

not even close to as good as kings of leon

[mrdjs0]

Makes me very very VERY PROUD to be English!

[vilelaa2]

Que ridículo, Coldplay, tocando intensamente desse jeito e ficar de mãos vazias e a chata da Duffy como vencedora da noite......
