Live Show:
Coldplay performed the song “Paradise.” This was a pretty good performance. The lights and staging were great, but the vocal was nothing special. Then again, I don’t think this guy Chris Martin is really known for his vocals.
Guests almost always perform only one song, but Coldplay came back again and sang “Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall” before the final Top 5 results.
