WE'RE ALSO A COVERS BAND
The sad washback from Coldplay covering Kylie: they clearly think by doing this, they're lifting Kylie's pop onto their plane of furrowed brow existence; in fact, of course, they're merely dragging her transcendence down into the world where everything is measured, weighed and priced.

Outside of the music they're really not that furrowed brow - see clumsy shoehorning of funny lyrics into their songs and any Chris Martin interview ever before it's had the self-important bits taken as quotes for tabloid articles.
While my perspective is somewhat different through not hating them I thought the cover was a fun and quite faithful version of a song that they love too, I don't remember them talking about the evils of manufactured pop at all in the past.
A shame that the introduction to it ("then Kylie got... her thing") made it seem completely insincere as a tribute to her though.
