To think that Coldplay have played for entirely too long at the paralympics closing ceremony

[lifeisfuckinggreat]

FFS, get off already

yanbu really tedious

How chummy, next it's Jay Z guesting. Will Gwynnie do some backing vocals?

Was literally just about to say ooh there gone but then they reappear, gah!

Daft question but I thought the London ceremonies were to showcase british talent, so why do w have Rihanna and Jay-Z?

Oh just thought if Jay-Z ifs appearing, presumably we will be hearing the tripe that is umbrella.

I switched over when they appeared. Over the last couple of weeks I kept putting closing ceremony tickets in my shopping list and then taking them out when payment info came up. Glad I did as I think they are truly shit.

YANBU but At least it's not Paul McCartney.

Ooh they might just have stfu, ad break welcome relief!

yanbu

Did they just say Coldplay back very soon after the short break? No, it can't be? Im traumatised now!

Just. fuck. off.

Paul McCartney would be a welcome relief, to be honest....

PingPongPom so right, thank fuck it isn't Macca or Elton.

... or Jessie J

Well the Brazilian national anthem is cheery :o

It is very jolly isn't it peanut.
So much better than our dirge.

It's just going to be Coldplay with a few Special Guests all night isn't it?

That's what all the write ups have said.

DH just had to explain why they were playing the Brazillian National anthem

Prefer this music

Oh good don't say that, when dues it finish?

Brazilian presentation probably kicks GB's ass out the window lol

Are we supposed to believe he's singing?

Dd2(who has cp and has been looking forward to the ceremony all week) gave up and wandered off an hour ago.

It's a Coldplay concert with occasional interludes, isn't it? Dh is watching, but I can't bear it.

YY brazil have put us to shame

Definitely, the annoying part is we will dampen the mood by chucking in ColdPlay again!

Everything I've seen about it in the build up has said the organiser didn't want it to be loads of different bands and has planned it all around Coldplay being the main thing.

It's been said a lot to be honest, surprised anyone didn't know.

I'm quite enjoying it actually. [weirdo emoticon] the Brazilian bit was a bit dull, love their anthem though.

If Coldplay played at all, it was for too bloody long.

Ah MyOrangeDog I have the perfect excuse, I don't live in the Uk.

They seemed like a time filler to me. I like the stuff that makes me cry or makes me want to dance, even better if it's a combo of the two.
