Are Diplo and M.I.A actually still touring together? Last I heard they were having some dificulties...

You'd actually go to see that show after all the terrible reviews about her live performances?! I hope it's at least free.
Posted by: ian | 2005.07.26 at 07:39 PM
Ian, I've read one review about her live act that seemed to be because she was rushed. I'm more interested in how the crowd reacts to her.
Posted by: Hashim | 2005.07.26 at 10:07 PM
Um...it goes without saying at this point that her CD really sucks hardcore, right? I know it's only July, but the "backlash" has ultimately revealed itself as "truth" by now, correct?
Posted by: Ian | 2005.07.26 at 11:15 PM
I'd say so. I read a grip of reviews that all agreed that she blows live and most of them were written by fans! Plus I've actually seen her live myself doing a short "track date" set (albeit very early on in her career before the album came out) and she was pretty medicore then plus she was also atrocious on the Jimmy Kimmel show. The album is aight and I will still concede that the "Galang" single was a monster & that she's a hottie (if that counts for anything) though I'm not sure that's enough motivation to go see her live any more.
Posted by: ian | 2005.07.26 at 11:42 PM
hmmm. I think ya'll just changed my mind.
Posted by: Hashim | 2005.07.27 at 12:51 AM
MIA Sucks hard. You guys shouldn't be suckered by the cheap euro pop throw back bollocks!
Diplo's serious though!
Posted by: Tego | 2005.07.27 at 10:09 AM
I LOVE MIA, i think she's as hot as her music, she's so creative and interesting to listen to, she's truely got her own sound and it's awsome.
Posted by: JACKIE | 2005.10.02 at 03:13 PM
M.I.A.'s lyrics are as hardcore as her family history and background, a credit to indie hip-hop, with lyrics like "pull up the people, pull up the poor" and "dial-a-bride fro Sri Lanka found herself a Yorkshire Banker" she is bent on inspiring activism
Posted by: VirianFlux | 2005.10.09 at 08:10 AM
I think MIA is so cute.I like her music.Her style of flow is crazy.
PEACE OUT,
MARIAH

my goodness, i have no idea what she is saying in ''bucky duck gone''....its like shes spurting out random stuff to keep ppl interested in her ''creativity''
Posted by: Joe Bronze | 2005.10.28 at 03:03 PM
to all u haterz, maya is the shit. her music ain't no bubble-gum, candy-coated, manufactured crap...the girl knows how to keep it real. she's knows what she's doing. if any of y'all listen attentively, there's actually substance and content in what she's saying, and she makes it sound good. simply put, it's unlike anything you've ever heard.
And besides.......this bitch is hot!! ;-)
Posted by: bud | 2005.10.29 at 05:32 PM

Posted by: brittany | 2005.11.19 at 01:17 PM
M.I.A.( Maya Arulpragasam) is the most beatiful women. I love everything about her. Her music just connects to me in everyway and i can see her making it to the top charts. I would like to vote for her as the beautiful pop singer and best song "Galang". If i could ever meet M.I.A. i wold ask her to marry me. Iwould also tell her i love the way she connects her music to her native culture and she should never chang that style no matter what anyone says. I love M.I.A.

well.. for those who hates her...
she's a very good singer... and interesting..
she's one of few artists who have guts to face poverty, i mean
last month, she came from brazil... then she got in contact w/ what her music is based on: Rio Funk (mix of miami bass and hip hop) yeah... she went to the slums of Rio and danced and sang in what we call "funk ball". It's a dangerous place... usually w/ drug dealers... criminals... poor people... but that's real funk... she really knows what she's doing... she saw what means funk: violence, poverty, drugs,
specially sexuality.
i'm sorry guys if she's not any pop trash (like Ashley Simpson)... or an empty-headed rock star but she's a girl who's creative
God bless ya'll

Posted by: Amadeus | 2005.11.23 at 09:06 PM
fuck the haters. i've seen her live 3 times and i will see her every single fucking time she comes back. too bad her and diplo split up.
Posted by: noneofyourbusiness | 2005.11.26 at 02:32 AM
I love to lick M.I.A's wet tamil cunt.
Posted by: Punani Snatcher | 2005.11.27 at 06:12 PM
Hey guyz, i'm looking for some juicy cunts to lick. Does this gurl MIA have one thats worth my time?
Posted by: Cuntlicker | 2005.11.27 at 06:15 PM
I just heard and seen a video by M.I.A...Late,perhaps...But all the while, this girl is supa tuff!...Not only is she beautiful, but she is DIFFERENT & ORIGINAL!!! And my friends that is key or at least needs to be in the oh so repetitive trends of Hip Hop/Urban music...If that is what her music is, I'm still confused on actually what to consider her sound?...All I know is that as an aspiring artist myself, I got two main outlooks on M.I.A- Who's this mysterious looking girl with that unfamiliar sound, and WHY DIDNT I THINK OF IT FIRST!!!
Jah Bless
Good Vibez

I've failed to notice anyone mention her art. even if her music has failed her work speaks for itself. I just think it's amazing that her message has a voice as well as a face. her images (not those OF her but from) are enough to let anyone know she's got substance above all else. she may not have all the skill and tools she needs YET, but she's got talent.
Posted by: consider_vanishing | 2006.01.02 at 07:02 PM
wether M.I.A is good or not live doesnt matter at leat she
signs live instead of all thos other pop fakes besides that
if u actually listen to wat shes saying its wicked to all u
haters just cus u dont get it doesnt make it bad try
listening to somthing new intead of all that old crap.LUV U M.I.A
Posted by: DEEDS | 2006.01.03 at 01:46 PM
M.I.A.'s great! i think its awesome that shes bringing hur music to canada :) we need more original artists like her to keep the music going. all the songs these days sound the same
Posted by: fia | 2006.01.04 at 08:48 PM
yeah, M.I.A. has got some really good beats and it's not like a lot of the other hip hop I've heard. It's original, and something I've been looking for, for a long time. I hope she'll come to Newfoundland and perform sometime. Who cares is she's not as good live?
Posted by: Prophyria | 2006.01.05 at 03:53 PM
i just start listening to M.I.A and i straight up luv her music. "Sunflowers" is my favorite song and all her songs have the craziest cool beats. i luv her style in music!
Posted by: cree | 2006.01.11 at 08:34 PM
A M.I.A manda bem,ela e bonita e suas musicas sao bem animadas ela tinha que vir aqui no Brasil alguma vez
Posted by: Wagner | 2006.01.23 at 08:40 PM
i like her music..but its hard to understand at times...cuz she has an accent.
if u go searching for lyrics, they're different cuz its not clear enuff what she's saying and ppl assume what the words are and put those down. baaaah!
Posted by: Maham | 2006.01.29 at 09:25 PM
M.I.A brings the pride into sayin tht I'mma tamil and all. Her music tells stories of life back home in Sri Lanka. If you'd listen to it u'd understand. Just becuz she aint some stuipd blond or pop/ rock idiot thats sings about "Oh can't be without you baby boy" and luv shyt tht u need to grow up. Her music brings the DEFINITION to music. EnUff LuV. EeLaM TaMiL PrIdE.

Posted by: Duarte | 2006.04.13 at 11:07 PM
robby larson you need to learn how to type you moron.

Posted by: ashley | 2008.11.12 at 09:40 PM
MIA is a fucking poser. She's trying to act hard and "OG" but she's not even black... Oh my bad, the black community accepts anyone who acts like them and isn't white.
