Princess of China - Coldplay & Rihanna (from new album Mylo Xyloto)

[Kmackk12]

This song rocks

[bocadenise]

I love this song!

[zakpulis]

@TheWhiteCasel Couldn't agree more. Though some songs in this album still have that classic Coldplay style we grew to love, sadly it feels like they're becoming too influenced by modern pop music. I don't blame them for trying out a new style, however I personally prefer their classic songs. I do hope they resort back to it in the future.

press shift while liking my comment and see what happens!

[try moving your mouse around when the snowflakes are on- i made mine into a tower lol so random]

[mycoolxbox]

[SarahNicoleCline13]

am i the only one that waited forever trying to figure out if the snowflakes spell something?

[liz7153]

I love coldplay's previous albums better than this one but I love this song -3 just because it has techno in it doesn't mean it's horrible

[902merc]

[902merc]

[dogy900]

[letthebeatr0ck]

I like pushing away the snowflakes!

[Chkeverlong21]

[adventuretimeangel13]

@Vlodrak I still don't get it???

[pamelolo4peace]

Can't stop listening to this song, seriously, this shouldn't be legal, i'm totally addicted ;o

[ThroughAllTime]

Not to be a coldplay hater, but i think the song would be better if the electronic beats were replaced with sick drumming.

[Bryant101MAMBA1]

@ThroughAllTime idk it's kindda weird to me, thats why i like it more i guess.

[MorganAroundtheWorld]

follow me for an adventure around the world

[sarilex90]

@MorganAroundtheWorld i used to be advanturer like you..but i took an arrow to the knees...

[Jagwarr]

Chorus sounds like the FSU war chant.

[MissPerfect2314]

[baynken1]

159 people have no heart

[AtamagaiiRose]

no offence but i don't really like rihanna and she is absoloutley amazing with Coldplay! this song is really good!!

[FockingCamper]

IT'S A FUCKING SONG. LISTEN OR GTFO!!

(to the people below me)

[cloudycrazy]

@LizaProductions1 I think it means like "I could have been a princess" as in he is currently a prince, and if they had stayed together, she could've been a princess right now. And then "you'd be a king" as in the future, he would be a king?

I dunno,haha(:

[MadMargaretGaming]

@LizaProductions1 princess of another kingdom dude

[EilisLornaWalsh2]

@LizaProductions1 L.O.L. I was just thinking that! Maybe he was the father-in-law?

[Vlodrak]

Click the snowflake symbol XD

[MagstaTheAwesome]

@Vlodrak :D

[OrangeElephant25]

@Vlodrak What's suppose to happen?

[OrangeElephant25]

@Vlodrak Nevermind :D

[ItsLilDulceBitch]

To answer your question.. a lot. It could be traditional inspiration or the fact that in live concerts they mumble something about the princess of china while the intro plays. Or the story line. Just please stop asking on YouTube !

[blueberry1004]

I'm not a fan of Rihanna and it is pretty strange to see her and Coldplay do a song together, but she sounds really nice in this song. Such a beautiful song.

[DeeTee50]

Awesome song.

[MissJesusfan]

Hey Coldplay fans!

Do you love "The Scientist?" Of course you do!! It would mean so much to me if you checked out my acoustic piano and voice cover of "The Scientist" (such an awesome song!) and let me know what you think! Or, if you really don't have time, just thumbs up this message and help me get the word out to other supporters of awesome music like you! Thanks, everyone! : ) -Vanessa

[jlstigall]

Dear youtards, the background is clearly influenced by traditional chinese music. Hence the name..

[Hmach4r]

Illuminati princess

[drewuke]

@Aquajonas101 it has to do with the dishes and plates. etc.

(fragile princess)

[NIGELTHA1andONLY]

Rihanna made this song amazin' -

[justkuhn88]

i wish chris martin had more lines in this

Once upon a time we fell apart

You're holding in your hands the two Halves of my heart

Ohhhhh, ohhhhh!

[SilverAtom1414]

I don't understand why people don't like Rihanna. I think she sings really beautifully in this and adds to that epic side.

[gomar1000]

Plz watch my vids!!!!!!!

[Okamidreams654]

Rihanna does not deserve to record a song with Coldplay and I'm dissapointed with Coldplay.

They sank low on this one.

[FutureProductions100]

is there a problem when this song is stuck in your head

[evafinn1]

luv this song!!!!!!! <3

[dayzym]

two thumbs up if you was goin crazy when ya got an ipad free at bit.ly\vlWxuN

[denisapanti]

I can't understand why the title is "princess of China" but the song is awesome. Thumbs up from Romania!

[RiffRaffBurger]

What exactly were the entertaining reasons behind your motivation to upload this video?

[bucknell28]

I just realised that it says moo if you look down the side!

[kayleighandelise]

@bucknell28 lololol

[kayleighandelise]

@bucknell28 lololol

[gelausi]

[Soilbreaker]

[horsy98]

[iAreWuZzY]

[Aquajonas101]

[mechupoconfresii]

[BananaBrianna100]

[buckeyfan1]

[Atravessada]

Ok, it's like the 20th time in a row that I listen to this song... I'm addicted

[Maripule06]

Coldplay , Rihanna is this heaven ? am i dead? THIS IS HEAVEN AND I AM ALIVE F********ING AWESOME!

[1985yeni]

me encanta esta cancion con coldplay una de las mejores bandas y por supuesto Rihanna le dio el toque con su fantastica voz !

[izzylovesmusic1]

man shut up and i am a girl ok i am just saying 

[glam0rbrat18]

this song just give me chills :))) especially on some rihanna's parts.

[CPSHOWTV]

I grew up listening to Coldplay, but... this album is good like every other album of coldplay, but it's the worst out of those good ones. It's not what I expected... too much synth. Charlie Brown is great though.

[roqerss]

You're holding in your hands the two halves of my heart ♥

[Iceg1993]

justin beiber is the pricess of china



[mUnkEhxSoCk]

i just died to this song ._.

[rhcplover100]

so tired of hearing rihanna everywhere.

[izzylovesmusic1]

the song doesnt say princess of china so why is it named that 

[noriegagame099]

@izzylovesmusic1 really your retarded bro

[hero331000]

Ew



[kailyn346]

awesome song



[marjoh1024]

WAAAAAAY 2 litle Chris in this song !! ;o

[taniahey]

LOVE THIS SONG! ITS THE SECOND GREAT AFTER VIVA LA VIDA!

[joanooz]

i like the song, its good... but whats disappointing is that its "coldplay".... i'm used to be blown out by their music (huge fan), this is a good song that i'd expect from an average band. when i listened to it on the radio i liked it but wouldn't have guessed it's coldplay... i'm guessing a lot of people are disappointed because its NOT what they expected from coldplay, NOT because the song is bad..

[drewuke]

@joanooz so i guess you hated most of the beatles songs in their later years because it wasn't 'expected'? i agree that this is very different for coldplay, but i applaud them being different and succeeding.

[joanooz]

@drewuke in every album coldplay sound different and have a new style... i don't mind that, i usually love it.. i'm just talking about this one. whats the problem? and what do "the beatles" have anything to do with it? its a whole different case...

[drewuke]

@joanooz never mind, you don't get it

[noriegagame099]

@joanooz shut up you sound stupid

[joanooz]

@noriegagame099 :-)

[333cale]

@itouchlove1 Honestly, who would you rather they chose? Who would fit the song better then?

I suppose your problem is with Rihanna's "credibility"? Would you have preferred Adele? Because she would not work nearly as well...

The ONLY other singer I can imagine working is Florence Welch,

[hyperoon]

Why is there so much swearing on Youtube?

[Msjustlovethemusic]

i f***ing love coldplay <3 <3

[freakness94]

The more I listen to this, the more I like it. Kudos to Coldplay AND Rihanna. They were able to combine two totally different genres of music and make this song into something brilliant. Isn't this what we all try to do in the real world anyways? Bring together all walks of life to create one flawless, harmonizing universe? Stop hating. Life's too short.

[lukeois]

Really petal, listen to it again xxxxxxxxxx

[cheerhopeful4life]

Honestly rihannas part was the only good part of the song

[bestupid29]

@cheerhopeful4life there would be no backround music without coldplay. they're a band and they're real thats what makes this song amazing! the fact that someone thought of mixing them together... AMAZING!!!

[ShafieeK]

I especially love the part at 2:04 where they went like "You stole my star, Lalalala la lala..."

[avivyamin912]

Im Here For COLDPLAY! THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE

[FrydFrenchhFrys]

I absolutely love Coldplay and Rihanna and my name is China

You can guess how I felt about this song ^_^

[NiamhStoneBabee]

like if you think coldplay are the best <3

[We0Love0Q]

I love Coldplay, have been a fan for many years, but this song is in my opinion horrific. Rihanna has talent, I won't deny it, but Coldplay shouldn't have made this song with her. The rest of the album is okay though. After a few times listening to it you realise that Coldplay hasn't changed that much...

[sharan0392]

Rihanna Destroyed a Brilliant SOng :'( 

[Lollishe]

@sharan0392 shut the fuck up, don't run up on her

[gelausi]

i luv this song !!!

[jassyonyae]

its great LOVE IT shocking but its good

[hotandonpoint2012]

Me gusta! Lol. A lot!

[DerPraktikant]

This sucks!



[bjornaudun]

my girlfriend loves it!



[JJROCK26]

Never liked Coldplay, but when I heard Rihanna in this I thought "oh cool I love Rihanna" but this song sucks

[hailo666]

@JJROCK26 you don't know real music.

[malcominthemiddle0]

@JJROCK26 no need to hate, everybody has there own style of music but dont come here and hate. stop trollin

[SuperTopbloke123]

No matter what everyone says, this is a great transition from their beginning type of music (eg. Yellow), to a more louder type that focuses not just on Chris Martin, but the other players of the band (e.g. Violet Hill). And now there's this. I never thought that Coldplay would team up for a more... electro song with a pop singer like Rihanna. But I love it. It's catchy and most of all, it's different. Just admit guys, it's one of Coldplays best songs. Ever

[wikidkidzz]

catchy!lovelovelove!xxxxxxxx

[arema1996]

2 words! FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!

[GoldenSunGirl88]

Love the Asian chord progressions ;)

[cutiekrish]

I love Coldplay, and I'm probably one of their biggest fans. But, come on, this song is not great, well, atleast not compared to the many other amazing tracks on this album.

[Dracilla112]

The intro sounds iffy..I don't like how it sounds crackly..but I love the song part of it xD

[abcun17]

as many others here I wasn't really sure how Rihanna would fit with Coldplay on their new album, and was also a bit worried (I'm not a fan of Rihanna...and lets leave it at that), but I must say that the song has come out very good and it fits with the rest of the "Mylo Xyloto" album. Just hope that in the future Coldplay stay to themselves and their wonderful music...Chris Martin can't possibly owe that much to Jay-Z... Anyways, good track!

[jaipal93]

this sounds an awful lot like Little Boot's Earthquake.

[soccerqt107]

i was nervous for this song....but I LOVE IT!

coldplay4life.

[7ISMYFAVENUMBER]

I think they based this song from the theme to the CBS show "Survivor". Same chords, same bass line, same key, tempo etc. Especially the last part of the song.

[lauurenA98]

If coldplay cant sing how come they made it on tv, and radio then. Shutup bet you cant do better.

[JessieJGaga]

coldplay can't sing.

[JordanCS7]

@JessieJGaga Your a derp.

[SHYBMX]

@JessieJGaga go fuck yourself

[bcfccalum]

@JessieJGaga just shows what you know about music your name is 'jessieJgaga' but you say coldplay cant sing

[14DustBunny1x]

@JessieJGaga Says the one with gaga in her name,Bitch please I doubt you can sing..hoe.Coldplay is beast.

[thehollistergirl22]

@JessieJGaga suck my chromotids!!!! :P

[EilisLornaWalsh2]

@thehollistergirl22 What the Hell are chromotids!? ... :-S

[RedButtonz11]

@EilisLornaWalsh2 go educate yourself

[EilisLornaWalsh2]

@RedButtonz11 Is asking questions and receiving answers not a form of education? And I might point out that nobody is infallible. Nobody is omniscient. I am sure that there are plenty of esteemed, highly educated, highly intelligent people out there who do not (or did not) know what a chromatid is and have absolutely no cause to! Because when it all boils down, is it actually useful? Would it actually be worth my while to go to the library, withdraw a book on chromatids and read it? Paper smarts

[EilisLornaWalsh2]

@RedButtonz11 mean nothing. What you learned at school means nothing. Because 90% of it was taught to you solely to help you pass the tests. It's not helpful in real life. And the genuinely smart people will get the qualifications they require and never bother themselves with irrelevancies again! As far as knowledge goes, if it's not helpful and it's not useful and it's not exploitable and it's not necessary and it's not even stimulating, I don't care to know!

[RedButtonz11]

@EilisLornaWalsh2 oooookay, calm down, you've made your point

[lauripolla]

@JessieJGaga If you like Jessie j and gaga fuck off and listen to there music...anyway if you don`t like coldplay, why come to a their video and just make yourself look like a complete prick/dick face/asshole/cunt?

[jeffrou8]

I LIKE IT ! :)

[OMGCLUBKIDS]

Such an amazing song!

[Taylornabozny]

OMG Love. This. Song

[horeunge1234]

I'm sorry, but... it just doesn't work. It doesn't hold up to Coldplay standards. Like the other songs on the album, just not this song...

[pedrocruzeiro1]

Esse e muito bom

tambem o coldplay so tem musicão

[Redf00Blueberry]

I LOVE THIS SONG! :D

[MayriaAfridi]

Coldplay u really play hot....

[sherine96]

best quality so far, thank you! :)

[sherine96]

best quality so far, thank you! :)

[gingerofwar97]

Ok I just got the cd and this song wasn't on it...WHYYYYY?????

[latavalisetty3]

Betrayal never sounded better...

[Minecraaaft1]

@rhyspanniers Rihanna sings: ''coulda been a princess'' and in general the background of this song seems to be based on chinese music :D

[rhyspanniers]

love the song so much

does anyone know why it is called princess of china? 

[singhisking853]

@rhyspanniers China as in plates and such. It's talking about a fragile princess.

[7341662]

@singhisking853 No -- it's a China princess, as in a beautiful Chinese princess in ancient China. The music sounds Eastern, tooo

[singhisking853]

@7341662 Um, no. The song's lyrics are about a guy and a girl getting their hearts broken. The girl is fragile emotionally (like china). The music does have a chinese feel to it, but I think it's just playing on the title.

[7341662]

@singhisking853 It's actually about a beautiful chinese princess in ancient China (but it's ok if you interpret it differently)

[bigiigigii]

omg ich han tickets bechooo für s'konzert in Zürii <33 freu mich :D



[500milees]

@bigiigigii ich auuuu!!!! es wird so geiiil!!! ich verreck schiier <3 :)

[loveispurpleNdamian]

[rhyspanniers]

hope they release this =) it AWESOME =)

[RayRihanna22]

Rihanna could've been a princess, with him the king, She could have had a castle, And wore a ring, but nooooo, he let her goooooo, then stole her STAR!!!......hmmmm wondering who she could have been talking about?Lol
