British songbird Rita Ora continues to make a waves for herself here in the United States with her latest single, 'R.I.P.' (featuring Tinie Tempah). It's hard to imagine that three years ago, the 21-year-old singer was plucked out of a London club and had to audition for the Roc Nation honcho Jay-Z.
Coldplay are using this particular video as the backdrop when they perform the Rihanna-assisted song 'Princess of China' in the live setting. So it's like RiRi is there … even when she isn't. These holograms/projections are all the rage in 2012. Thank you, technology! Because of this, the Bajan singer's presence is certainly felt, thanks to the geisha garb she wears, those dagger-like nails and the overall vision of loveliness that she is.
Attention aspiring musicians: If you're interested in opening for Coldplay, it doesn't hurt your chances to have a label boss who's friends with singer Chris Martin -- or to cover one of the band's songs on your debut album. Just ask Frank Ocean and Rita Ora, who were just announced as two of the openers for Coldplay's upcoming European tour.
After the 2012 Oscars came to a close, Jimmy Kimmel continued the festivities with a post-Academy Awards special featuring live performances from British rockers Coldplay. Standing upon an illuminated stage with instruments in hand, Chris Martin, Johnny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion had fans screaming and dancing along as they played their new single 'Charlie Brown' and 'Paradise.'
British citizens should be proud of their fellow brethren Adele, Coldplay and Florence + the Machine, thanks to their performances at the 2012 BRIT Awards last night (Feb. 21.) They should also adopt Rihanna, because the Bajan beauty also brought the house down with her performance.
Rihanna and Coldplay combined dance and rock music on a medley performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards that included hits from each artist as well as their collaboration 'Princess of China.'
It doesn't include any cartoons or Vince Guaraldi piano, but Coldplay's new video clip for 'Charlie Brown,' their latest single from the chart-topping 'Mylo Xyloto,' does feature plenty of eye-catching visuals -- along with all the soaring melody you've come to expect from the band.
Not only will Katy Perry and Coldplay be performing on the Grammy Stage Feb. 12, the two popsters will be honoring Paul McCartney two days prior at this year's MusiCares tribute concert. Alicia Keys is also listed as a performer.
