She'll probably be a no-show, 'cos all she wants to do is [bang bang bang bang], and [sound of cash register] take your money.

I'd rather hear Amy Winehouse, but I'd rather look at MIA. Headphones.

This.

I think MIA's time in the sun is almost up - I hope she saved her money from Paper Planes.

Umm.. I just listened to some of M.I.A's music.. and it sounds like trashy ghetto English fake rap fused with shiatty disconnected reggae and mixed with a heaping helping of sweetjesusthatsucks.

If I like Nickelback, Linkin Park and rap.. and I say this sucks.. you know it sucks.

Oh I said it.
I'm secure in myself to admit to liking what i like.. even if it makes me unpopular amongst the unpopular people.

ps: only good rap though

I like her album, but I'm calling this now: Don't expect her to show up. How can she if she's M.I.A.?

I liked Arular. Kala is OK, but not as good. I saw MIA on Halloween 2007 and it was an excellent show. More like a party with a live band than a show.

MIA will probably fade out in a few years, but at least she got paid. If it wasn't for Paper Planes she'd be cranking out music in semi-obscurity for 2 or 3 more albums. She'll probably just go back to art.

She married into money. Her husband has money.

I'm actually disappointed that I don't get to see Amy Winehouse one more time before she overdoses...she was a decent performer last time she hit Coachella.

But I stopped caring what you have to say about music at "I like Nickelback."

AS IF she'll be missed.

NorCalLos, when I first heard of M.I.A. I thought: someone, someday will go there. But please let this day not be that day. And every time I heard of M.I.A. since, I thought: please let today not be that day.

Today is that day.

I still lol'ed.

Ya, it just kinda happened. I'm not proud of it.

So a no talent piece of ghetto trash replaces a slightly talented, drug ravaged piece of ghetto trash. I don't see a real change there.

Your opinion doesn't matter.. because
1. You're in New York
2. You're ugly.. and nobody listens to ugly people
3. See 1

In my circle of friends, it's blasphemy to talk down on MIA, but I do it anyways. Her rhymes are mediocre at best and on top of that she loops almost every line so she only has to come up with half the shiatty lyrics....

I like a lot of her beats, though...

I don't think anyone likes her because of he MC'ing skills. Her album is good, though, especially if you're in the car with girls and you have to find something to listen to that everyone can appreciate.

Yeah, but plastic surgery can fix ugly. There's no cure for Nickleback, dude.

New York? Okay you got 'im there!

Whatever. Turbonegro will destroy everyone at this Hipster Fest.

M.I.A. to fill Amy Winehouse's spot at Coachella.

Right there? In front of everyone? Ewww...

I'm still pissed that Paper Planes never actually appeared in Pineapple Express.

1 hit wonder...but ive liked the song since it came out IN 2006!!!!!

I actually own Back in Black, but struggle to listen to it any longer. I just can't get those images of her smoking crack with diseased skin out of my head. Yeah, that may be a little shallow, but goddamn.

Not this. I heard the album in full before that song blew up and it wasn't the best. Probably 3rd best, though you are technically correct until they release another single.

Amy Winehouse is competent, but retro and uninspired.

M.I.A. has an original sound and some banging beats. Though Paper Planes leans too heavily on that Clash sample, but I guess that's why it was a hit - people like hearing things they're familiar with.

 
CityExile 2009-03-26 02:24:02 PM  
Well I'd consider this an upgrade, though I was disappointed as to the reason why Amy can't make it. I'd hoped it would be a bit more exotic.

The lineup's still not not worth me trekking out to Cali for however.

coachella is a gay fest. seriously.

FYI: I think you've been hanging out in the electronica tent (or perhaps you were watching Mos Def or Saul Williams).
