you reckon that on receipt of his award,Mr Martin balled his little eyes out like his slightly more talented yet considerably average looking missus did when she collected an oscar... i like to think that he did.

Good, how depressing. Don't get me wrong, i like Coldplay but there is no way they are the best act in the world, nor that teir album is album of the year. Q is SO mainstream, no challenging, so damn safe, and that's what's wrong with it.

Will people please just stop giving Coldplay awards? It's just encouraging them, it's no wonder they think they're good!
