This sounds like the work of Microsoft Songsmith (google it). See this youtube video to understand. |

A real improvement of the song! Unfortunately still a whining voice, though.

Not an improvement. Perhaps if they had someone who can sing...I can see the potential.  |

I don't think these two groups should have merged for this... separately they're both much better. I'm not a huge Coldplay fan at all, but I like the original version of this song a lot better.

Unfortunately this version puts more emphasis on Chris Martin's voice, not a good thing! |

Whenever I listen to classical music for a while then come back to something like this, I realize the difference between the two is you already know what this is about after ten seconds or so. There's nothing more to gain from it.

The vocal sounds really thin without all the backing keyboards.

When they came out with "Yellow," they were still unsigned to a major label, and it was a new sound — no one at the time (summer of 2000) sounded like Chris Martin, and it was kind of raw and naked compared to all the other overproduced dreck that was around at the time. Since then, people have gotten quite used to their sound, in part because so many of their songs sound alike. The latest album was supposed to have featured Martin discovering (i.e., finally using) his baritone. Personally, I think their songwriting is a bit overrated, though I thought "Fix You" was a marvelous paean to his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, in the wake of her father's death. |

a very weak song by itself...then add samba? Maybe if I ate Pop-Rocks and drank Coke, I might understand this.
