Not sure if I will see them do this. When you are a starting artist, I can imagine it. But Rihanna, Katy Perry or Coldplay? It's quite some money. It's not that they have to thank the NFL for their performances... I am a starving artist and this is wrong on every level! It doesn't matter if you are slugging it out playing dive bars for pennies, or if you are in the big leagues like coldplay or Rihanna. Music is a gift, a service, and is to be valued. No one at any level of the music industry should be forced to pay to get exposure. And coldplay certainly do not need exposure. I agree. Let Rihanna do it! :-)

If they go ahead with this I'll be seriously disappointed, maybe they do have a different deal and I know these days any exposure is good to bring in new fans, but it doesn't feel right to me as a diehard coldplay fan

well seems coldplay are not playing the superbowl anyway. i meant that katy perry must have gotten a different deal than pay to play since she said on tv that she won't pay to play the superbowl.
anyway, guess our fantasies about lp7 release linked to coldplay playing the superbowl is blown. at least we know that they are recording right now.

I knew they wouldn't play, and really, I wouldn't want them to. It's not their bag, baby.

I didn't expect them to play either, but I did let out a sigh of relief anyway. It's more a Katy Perry thing anyway.

For sure, I wasn't even slightly worried. Who in their right mind would pay to play! It's completely 'arse about face' if you will excuse the English phrase! Tracie is right.. It's art, it's their job! Would you pay someone in order to do YOUR job?

Besides, we can't get a better, more sweeping Coldplay show than the Paralympics. It was like it was their own Broadway show!
