good job having the song and video on here! i love it.
It's great that Coldplay won (I voted for them). I agree with Ms Clark. Great work putting the music video.
I voted for Coldplay, too... I really like the melody and the soft tone of their songs. Just like some other band, i sometimes think that they are so addictive that i wish i didn't like them:D
Coldplay is one of my favourite music bands too. Although I don't like rock very much, (especially the ones like Metallica) Coldplay is an exception. Viva la Vida is their best hit for me because the lyrics of the song means a lot, the rhytim is good too.
yes, as Mert said, one of the most important reasons that I listen to Viva La Vida is its rythm.
