M.I.A. - Sunshowers

[Tanzinsect]

just wtf is this?

[VictoriaHest]

Is this filmed with a toastbread?

[marlousereno]

I pity her... Shes not too famous .... If she only will be featured to great artists like Rhianna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, etc.... She will be as great as hell promise !! Just like Nicki Minaj that was featured in Jay Sean song... 2012.... that was made her rise to fame !!

[friendlyguy368]

Video was shot in south India. She has shot videos in so many different continents. U like her adventurous mentality. She has no limits or bounds. She's finally getting mire notariety.

[petvet59]

Where does this takee place ? ? !

[ShapeShiftNibiruX]

what the F* is the difference where she's from or how old?

Good that she points that there is war and genocide all the time and not only in IRAQ. And no body gives a shit about that around a globe. In N.Korea there are concentration camps worst then in Aushwitz but some how it doesn't mater to the Israelis for example ?!...

[tarteria1]

I salt my Mango!!! :D

[hotlikefyre1983]

her mom is christian and her dad is hindu but who the f cares bc she`s not even relegious since she`s always embracing all cultures n relgions as well she is an intellectual person .... she know religion is just another form of mind control by govtments...she is probably a very spirtual person though bc she`s such a humanitarian

[thisisjessscott]

she is so attractive

[eckopj]

Hindu denotes her religion. Sri Lankan is her ethnicity.

[kovona]

@eckopj Wrong. Sri Lanka denotes the geographic island also known as Ceylon or the national government which presides over it, not ethnicity. The ethnic groups of Sri Lanka are predominantly Sinhalese or Tamils.

[petvet59]

I loveee this song ! : )

[petvet59]

True . Lol . :p . But hindu is her religion . Shes Sri Lankan . And she was born in London .

[petvet59]

Well shes still hindu  -.- . Shes not muslim . Christian . Jewish .

[livinthdream0]

@petvet59 Yeah, she's not any of those labels... all of which are religions.

[petvet59]

And she was born in London . Shes half Sri Lankan and half Hindu .

[MrMrbeanscar]

@petvet59 lol you don't make any sense...Hindu is a religion Sri Lanka is country......LOL

[petvet59]

Iknoe but shes half hindu .

[maydinina]

I loe M.I.A . M.I.A I love you !

[petvet59]

Shee is hindu lol . Lovee this sonqq thou

[k3ym4st3r]

@petvet59 She was born in Sri lanka, not India.

[guernesthebeowulf]

Aww man nicee vid

[Rochoshily]

[SikuSings]

SUNSHOWERS ARE AWESOME !!!

[westside159]

[eenwebnl]

Now, go here: Die Antwoord - Evil Boy

[ImTheShame]

@eenwebnl You really have a good pair of ears, man! Die Antwoord and M.I.A are like my 2 favourite artist/band. Have you checked out Doos Dronk?

[bforbeat]

who is rihanna ???

[ETgoddessS]

@bforbeat you don't know who rihanna is?? have you been living under a rock??

[RahiiirMeow]

@ETgoddessS She/He is not worth knowing. I used to live by bforbeat, and he does indeed live under a rock.

[likesomboodee1]

[spanishqueen19]

Shes awesome...

[VirgileParis]

what is this song about ?

[briteness]

First-rate!



[caramellechocolate]

I'm digging this song!!! Going in my favorites.

[johnnylin0924]

Her music is like from another planet

[nievusky]

WTF?



[troscoutuo]

Ta geule fuckin' bitch girl

[Kaiserzentrip]

my favorite m.i.a. song :3 i find it relaxing for some reason

[hadarneu]

@Themusicforlife12 And yet she's pure style and doing GREAT music while being original and diffrent! : ))

[marlousereno]

@hadarneu iS sHE ASIAN OR WAT / xd

[XdessiqueenX]

@marlousereno she is sri lankan, hindu 

[yehyeh784]

@XdessiqueenX wtf she aint hindu

[Themusicforlife12]

One thing I love about M.I.A. is that she works so hard to try and change the whole and express her feelings about stuff that is happening in the world! Some other popular women just go with what other people want but she goes for what she knows is RIGHT!!!!

[annamchoudhry]

<3 my first MIA vid ever. classic. one of those artists that will never change.

[Samareeane]

where is this video taken

[MrDanceTuber]

@Samareeane - near Sri Lanka

[HoraceJacobi]

salt & pepper mango = snorting coke and heroin off boobs

[ursw33testnightmar3]

like if you came here by yourself



[LOL4STAHU]

ZAJEBISTE : D Love Mia <3

[Yci]

<3 

[blackmuslimah]

Love this

[yellingtuna]

Very good.... it's time we all "salt and pepper our mango." The oppression will only be stopped with direct actions.

[yurinotani]

@yellingtuna you mean terrorism? that's what the song implies or so I've read...

[TheTechnoa]

jungle Rap i like it!

[cubitsuper]

nice

[missydb3]

I salt and pepper my mango, too.

[JusticeNature]

its like one of those magical moments when you find a seed amongst all the chaff that saturates the airwaves. A very personal video, felt like she was sharing an beatiful adventure surrounded by peace & happiness............

[martynika80]

I hope she is not illuminati....

[firsttopnotch101]

@martynika80 Me to that would be fucked cause so far I love her

[GypsyPolish]

idun get this song

[7WordsET]

Thank you MIA for flipping me off last Sunday =)

I now know who you are and love your music, and your cause is respectable. Your also the cutest damn girl on the planet!!! I love your voice!!! Keep up the great work.

[CawubPickle]

wow....is this her singing? if so thats crazy....why did she suck at the superbowl? (and no i dont care about the finger issue) she sounds good here :O

[symiya1]

@CawubPickle She didnt suck.. she didnt even get a chance to even really sing.

[ChicGenique]

I remember hearing this song back in the 8th grade and loving this song! Im 20 now and i feel like i grew up with MIA on some level...her music jus keeps getting better and better! =]

[alligoesrawr]

THIS IS SO GOOD.

[duron39]

wtf?

[lecifbaby]

I don't think that's her singing on the chorus.

[dashiftd1]

u sing better than u rap, too bad u feel into that rap game, hip-hop needs u!!, i really love ur soft voice when u sing this chorus, sad that u lowered ur standards to follow the elite, look inside urself n find who u really are, and where u came from... dont lose hope

[powerfulnun]

Shes referencing to the Tamil Tigers I think. Its an anti Sri Lankan rebel group.

[dirtrider5001]

fuck me in baco en my taco en columbo

[MsThegirlyoudontknow]

@vanillagrl1 she is sri lankan..different continent

[554z]

@MsThegirlyoudontknow  different country not continent=asia

[AngelSheets]

Thumbs Up if Sunshowers was the first M.I.A. song you ever heard!

[Akiithebest]

badass. artistic. love her lyrics. unique

[crazymusclecuz]

i wanna fuck her so bad..

[TheJsRocks]

she sounds a litlle like Nicki Minaj.. but better

[thegreattximino]

@TheJsRocks Nicki Minaj sounds a little like M.I.A... but much worse.

[leciberlanga]

i like this:)

[lecifbaby]

Anyone who thinks this song doesn't have meaning is an idiot, I'm sorry.

[leftgibson]

HORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIBLE!

[belinda43in1]

Like PLO I don't surrendo

[dvdvideo1234]

She looks like my brother's girlfriend in the face ...

[666armynofx]

great tune and nice gal

[MementoMario]

@DDGainesJr Besides, if you thought this was "bad", wait till you hear so-called based music. Artists like basedgod have fans that overlook horrible musical errors for the sake of finding meaning and depth in the context.

[MementoMario]

@DDGainesJr Do you understand the concept of music? Music is all about the emotions and sensations it elicits upon hearing. Sometimes it's neither the composition nor the lyrics that make a song good, but the backstory or message it's trying to convey. There are practically no rules with music: It's just a personal form of expression. Now, I don't particularly like this (almost 40-year-old) girl's attitude but I respect her for singing about her convictions.

[runlavigne]

my window is open, and its too hot and sunny here. i thought those birds sounds were in my room hahahaha LOL

[Morgy09]

I was doing a case study in a college course some years ago and the American company was being censured for inhumane working conditions. And all I could think about was this song.

Then I was writing an essay about conflicts in Eastern and sub Saharan Africa and all I could think about was 20 Dollar.

M.I.A. is too unsung. Everyone's mad she flipped the bird at the Super Bowl, but she actually makes music about realness.

[ChrissyDaBlackk]

i think shes sexy af

[mafiamg12]

She sounds just like Lady Sovereign. I agree with the comment someone said she is 0-3. I really tried to give her a chance, but I dislike the music, the words, and how she tried to boost her career by doing that at the Superbowl.

[BennoYaKnow22]

@mafiamg12 we can see why you don't like world music. you have lil wayne, Jay Sean, Kid Rock, black eye peas in your favourites, witch means you have no taste in music and you are rhythmless. plus your publicity comment was dumb as well. fukk outta here.

[powerfulnun]

God Im in love with a beautiful lady who fights for a cause and her name is M.I.A

[tongogta]

@powerfulnun STFU SHES MARRIED AND HAS A KID HEAD DICK i mean DICKHEAD

[caddy1010]

@mronelove One of the 108 haters out of almost 1million. That speaks for itself and you. LOL.

[DDGainesJr]

Okay...this is the third song I have listened to by this girl and she is 0-3. Does she even understand the concept of music?

[TinySpriteForever]

@DDGainesJr Do you understand the concept that musical artists are inspired by the culture that they came from? Try looking up her lyrics before hating on just the sound — that you might not just be accustomed to.

[DDGainesJr]

@TinySpriteForever I understand "music". I am going to guess you are a teenager since you assume that preference for melody and meaning over this stuff from her = "hating". Thanks but you really did not need to comment.

[got2many]

@DDGainesJr i do need to comment and i don't need your permission. i'm actually an adult and i like M I A and her message. music doesn't necessary have to be catchy and be popular for radio. M I A never really cared about that. she was always about her message and human rights. she has lived a tough life as a child. she has experienced, racism, sexism, opression and her father was an activist so she has learned about others being mistreated as well.

[got2many]

@DDGainesJr so you don't get it and don't understand at all. it's okay because there are thousands of different genres of music and nobody has to like everything. even i have my favorites.

[cchhrriiss825]

she looks really young for some one who's supposed to be 36 years old

[Disenchanted229]

@cchhrriiss825 this was almost ten years ago if I am not mistaken.

[Snakefangsify]

This is shot in Sri Lanka with tamil tiger rebel girls. Sadly they are all dead because they blindly followed their leader. Patriotism blinds you just like religion. Tamil tigers are no more, Sri Lankan government troops killed them all. Both parties have faults.

[TheManPizzy23]

i fucking love mia

[GabrielPDR7]

Legal fez um clipe normal mas muito bom :)



[HanestlyHan]

This song should be updated to unlike the PLO we did surrendero. Cause the Tamil Tigers be no mo.

[386joedaddy]

Fantastic artist

wait whats the lyrics mean

[vultureofculturistic]

I wish people knew a lot more about the substance of /\/\ /\ Y /\ 's music.... Just read up on a bit of her life and you'll realize what she means by that salt n' pepper mango sensibility...

[lovsasu]

@vultureofculturistic Can´t find it, what does it mean?

[vultureofculturistic]

@lovsasu It's a symbol of the refugee life. She grew up as a Tamil refugee from Sri Lanka. The salt and pepper mango thing is what they had to eat. Search for the bio about her that was done in GQ a while back. It's SO worth the time and explains it better than I could. :)

[suledrake]

@vultureofculturistic Salt and peppering mangos are common in India and Sri Lanka. It's just how we eat them (we also do that with Guavas), it's not just cause they lived in a refugee camp.

[marlon5496]

@suledrake man...we eat that in panamá...both mangos and guavas..xD it's not like the principal plate but you eat that like one or twice a year...i don't eat that since i was 10...i'm almost 16 now...i don't like it but i don't hate ir... :D *culture*

[suledrake]

@marlon5496 People have a lot more in common than we are lead to believe, especially in countries like Panamá, India, etc. But we eat guavas and mangos like that everyday, it is a normal snack for us. I love it! :)

Salud!

[Trobinson97]

@vultureofculturistic Whatever....

[firstclass6]

I still don't get the lyrics to this song...o.o

[sunflowernoo]

@firstclass6  I think the song is about Eastern/Middle-Eastern migrants who have settled in the US, Europe,.. (especially the UK). Many have faced discrimination & murder because of their beliefs. In this case it's a Muslim young man who get killed in the song.

[firstclass6]

@sunflowernoo Thanks! Now the lyrics make more sense, lol.

[789raheel]

the beat is so chill....but the lyrics are so provocative....iluv it!!

[flavoredcorpsebloppo]

i like that monkey chillin behind her ^_^

[Hawkeye156]

she has interesting videos, cool clothes, and is beyond gorgeous!

[shimanchunutakara]

salt n pepper on mango? seems like it would take away from the sweetness, but i'l try it.

[789raheel]

@shimanchunutakara thats wt u do in the south asian areas when fruit is too sweet or sour... prolly got nuttin to do wit lyyrics but still

[spInrAt42]

my god she's sexy

[Ladykillaable7]

I love how the cute Cheeta is spying on them in the grass lol

[crannage2009]

@Ladykillaable7 its a leopard not a cheetah it will rip your face off

[jacobcoolguy]

Women's refugee/militia camp. Badass.

[Artchismo]

I love how layered this woman's music is! There is always something new to be discovered with each listen.

[theblackstarmansion]

I eat mangos all day long :D

[Diabelicangel87]

i could do that.. mangos rock :))

[pepelishis]

oh lorddddd

[MsBubblybitch]

lol this video makes no sense >.<

[ezento98]

@MsBubblybitch

Shut up Ms Bubbly bitch. There are tons of music videos out there that makes no sense. What makes this video different from the other music videos that doesn't make sense? Lady Gaga has music videos that makes no sense yet people still watch them.

[Irishmodel78]

What the fuck is this stupid bitch saying? Her mouth is full of Taaaaan Dooor iii, lol!

[KillMovesMLH]

@Irishmodel78 ehh shit one

[lauracida]

@Irishmodel78 lol! great attempt at irony and provocation! shame you failed. good luck next time xoxo

[Irishmodel78]

@lauracida Um, I wasn't being ironic, I was beign facecious so please use words correctly so you don't look like the idiot that you are. And I was not provoking anybody because I ended it with a LOL and Anybody can see clearly that I WAS JOKING, so take your panties out of your cooch and chill, lol! You are the perfect example of the type of moron who would like a song where you can't understand the words, lol. I think you need a dictionary for Christmas and an enema because you are full of shit

[JK10050]

@Irishmodel78 shut the fuck up
