Your reasoning is very convenient, if you are in the position of the defense and acceptance of these attitudes comings of artists without problems in copying total or partially (many ways exist to kill fleas!) the merit of the work of the others, crediting the advantages in proper benefit;
For me the word and evaluation of the artist Cat Stevens is enough;
But for me this is condemnable and immediately requires an attitude of conviction and to disapprove;
In a thing almost that you make right yourself: It is necessary to have enough age to be qualified and to have memory criticizes to detect these abilities;
It is that to the times it lacks the inspiration, humble, leadership, route, the certain artists, in determined phase of its career, as it is evident in the case in  appraise;
The disorientation of the Coldplay group is clear there in this record;
Gratuitous exhibition, false explendor, easy glamour, vanity, include the cover of the record sugest,  that never we go to find in the substance contained in the interior of the record;
Thing that nor the gotten awards can disguise. (also  the criteria and commercial interests of the fonográfic industry in its it can be argued).
Btw, not it is for the fact of a record intensively to be played and promoted in a radio, any that either, makes with that this record either better.

I realize in order to sing (i.e. a tonal exhale) one needs to inhale, but sheesh.
