Listen to the MIA album!!!!!
You couldn't pay me enough to listen to her album. She's cute and all, but her music? No thanks!
i dont understand why she is so popular. with indie being the new mainstream are hipsters beginning to "discover" more worldly type music?

She's also someone you have to see live to "get it." If you don't like to shake your ass, it'll still be a mystery…but I defy you to show up at one of her gigs and NOT shake your ass.

and she still makes me want a hype girl.

Sweetcell left her Lolla show after 10 minutes, unable to take it anymore.
I see a discrepancy in opinion here.

I like to shake my mind's ass sometimes and MIA doesn't fail.
Not too shabby…but I think I prefer Arular. Thankfully she did away with the pointless skits, but Kala seems a little less direct to me. The beats are more to the forefront on Arular.
this also reminds me to keep looking for the 'HOW MANY HOW MANY' shirt. they had it at virgin festival saturday and then when i decided to get it early sunday it was already gone… which surprised me that it sold out before she even performed. boo.
You mean this one?

Originally posted by Charlie Nakatestes,Japanese Golfer:Well Sweet Cell doesn't have too much ass to shake, so that might explain it…that, and ummm questionable taste. I guess it is possible to DEFY my prediction, but did he actually say he bailed because he couldn't take it or had a more desirable option due to conflict? SC you out there to defend your dissing of M.I.A.?

Actually, I think Sweet's was a diss of M.I.A. Because he told me I should skip her and watch Pumpkins instead…
But I didn't listen to him and plenty of ass was shook.
I hear Sweet's a douche anyway ;)

Pretty sure she's just hype and not really popular, but there's lots of hype from what i've read. Still haven't gotten around to picking up her album…
off the internet…
