Coldplay Sounds Great -- Too Great?

Coldplay -- who seems to be up for every major award -- is the evening's second performer.

It kicks off with Chris Martin playing piano on a stage by himself. What do you think of that jacket? I thought Coldplay looked a little too Nsync...but apparently, it's a Beattles tribute. Go figure.

I dig the addition of Jay Z to the performance. It reminds me of Jay Z's MTV Unplugged appaearance back in the early 2000s. Anyone remember? It was great stuff...

The subdued atmosphere quickly changes for the transition into Viva La Vida and we're onto the normal Coldplay performance we're used to. The sound quality is great. Anyone think this performance could be lip sync? It almost sounds too good...

A great performance: I'm just not sure if it was live!

  1. I did not like the Jay Z pop in. I didn't think it went with the song. Coldplay is a pretty good band I think the only thing that was fake in their performance was the orchestra track and harmony vocals at the very end of the song....I'm pretty sure everything was live..
