Kids Singing Coldplay Better Than Coldplay Singing Coldplay

Are you ready for the most magical way to begin your week possible? Seriously, be ready. Now: using a chorus of children in creating a pop music smash hit is one of the dirtiest tricks in the book (jokes about The Jonas Brothers aside). But we suggest Chris Martin and the rest of Coldplay actually take a lesson from the children of New York's PS22: rather than team up with Kanyeezey, you need to throw a track down with these guys. Video of the chill-inducing Coldplay cover is below. If you hate happiness, puppies, or anything that remotely resembles the brilliant innocence of kids just generally kicking ass, turn away now.
See! We told you you’d like it. Apparently, Martin and Co. have actually heard the cover, and they’re not the only ones who know about the awesomeness that goes down at PS22; Tori Amos is a fan, as are Marcia Gay Harden, Perez Hilton, and Matthew Modine (seriously, the site’s kind of a trip). Anyway: happy Monday! Seriously! Good week!

Honestly, all kids sound good.
Especially together. Not to sound negative, but I’m not all that impressed.
Hormones will change everything.

If I had this kind of experience in school I may have taken my chorus class a bit more seriously, and gotten much more out of it!1!

Wonderful song I love seeing all the kids so committed to the song and the teacher. BRAVO!

it is just really great to see kids taking an interest in singing (they all look really into it!) especially since music is rarely stressed in schools today!

It was great an at points chill-causing, but the solo singer was singing a bit flat, and a bit hurried at points. All the other kids were great!
