Lady Gaga A 'Better Writer', Says Coldplay's Chris Martin

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has spoken out about his admiration for Lady Gaga, and how he thinks that she is a better songwriter than him.
Speaking to XFM, Martin admitted that he was a big fan of the eccentric pop superstar’s crazy fashion sense, her wild live performances – and her ability to write a brilliant chorus.
“I just admire all of the hats and the dresses and the madness and everything because I know that underneath it all she can beat me at writing choruses,” Martin told XFM. “She's very sweet. I think what undercuts it all, though, is that she's talented and she writes everything.”
As modest as Martin is, his band Coldplay are enjoying great success with their latest album ‘Mylo Xyloto’, which hit shelves in October this year. They recently announced that ‘Charlie Brown’ would be the third physical single to be taken from the album, after it was already put up for digital download.
