Chris Martin has spoken of his admiration for Lady GaGa, saying that she is a better songwriter than he is.
The Coldplay frontman described the 'Born This Way' singer as "very sweet" and "talented".
Speaking to XFM, he said: "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.
"She's very sweet. I think what undercuts it all, though, is that she's talented and she writes everything."
Addressing rumours that the band will duet with Rihanna at the Brit Awards, Martin admitted: "I'd like to but she's got her choice of everybody, so it depends on where we come on her list."
Coldplay performed two songs on last night's X Factor final - their recent hit 'Paradise', and 'Charlie Brown'.
They are due to play a string of stadium gigs next summer.
