Martin axes Minogue lyrics

(Sunday May 18, 2008 10:35 AM)

Pop princess Kylie Minogue took time out of her busy schedule to record a vocal for Coldplay - but frontman Chris Martin erased it from the final cut.

The Spinning Around hitmaker - who shares the record label Parlophone with the band - agreed to add her vocals to a track on their forthcoming album Viva La Vida.

But Martin scrapped the star's input.

Martin says, "Kylie is awesome. She's like Girls Aloud rolled into one.

"I took apart the song she did with us, like a Corby trouser press."

Er, so?


Christ Martin's an Alan Partridge fan

Well, you learn something new every day.


He really should change his name to Christ Martin...

...it suits the whole thing he's got going on completely.


One of the best things he's ever done

My irrational hatred of Kylie Minogue knows few bounds.


I thought this was about

George Lamb


haha


I thought it was about

me.

But then, I thought that Carly Simon song was about me, so...


Artist removes bit from song

because he doesn't think it works in the song.

That sounds like perfectly reasonable behaviour to me, whether you like a particular act or not.


God. How dare he?

He's like the most BORING songwriter ever to BORE me, and he has the audacity to remove a sample by Kylie Minogue, an ambassador of UNBORING pop music who deserves every slice of praise available.

Stop being a prick, and realise that a) Coldplay are fantastic, and b) Kylie Minogue is not.


So basically

Parlophone try to get their cash cow a spot on the new Coldplay album in the hope it will up her "credibility" and sell a few more Coldplay records.

Chris Martin foils their plan. Good on him I say. I'm sick of these collaborations that are only done to gain press inches and sell a few more records.


Yeah, good on Chris Martin...

for seeing right through Kylie's collaboration as nothing but a vacuous attempt to sell more records.

Oh wait, did somebody mention Kanye West?


2 true!


RECORD LABEL ATTEMPTS TO SELL RECORDS SHOCK

also..."she's like Girls Aloud all rolled into one"? Way to insult a great pop star.
