Coldplay, cold-hearted music promoters

Seldom do foreign acts, mostly white singers or white bands, at the top of their game come to the Philippines to dazzle Filipino audiences.

If they do because of “insistent public demand,” as pitched by their local promoters, they demand sky-high talent fees and, the suckers that colonial-minded Filipino fans are, these visitors get what they want, and never mind if some of them had been accused of lip synching their way to a one-hour concert.
