  • 10:37 she became my hero.

    I may get called a hipster for complaining about indie music becoming popular constantly, but this is the exact reason why I complain. Indie band becomes popular, makes pop album, sucks ass. Staying true to who you are as an artist is what's important.

    Never understood how you can produce music you don't even like just for fame and money. I don't blame them, I suppose, but it's just not wholesome.

  • "The graph going up doesn't mean success." Yes, sweetie, I wish everyone believed this. Maya, you're amazing. I love you!

  • Man, im crazy in love with this girl!

  • I love how ancient his laptop is ^^

  • I've watched 5 minutes and I don't get anything she's said so far.

  • Wow she's absolutely gorgeous! 

  • I think she started this interview off on the wrong foot, but as it progressed and she became more comfortable she began to express her thoughts more easily. Anyone calling her stupid or inarticulate clearly hasn't seen the interview all the way through.

  • she's hot. his introduction wa a loa dof bullshit regarding tamil tigers and politics - her lyrics are almost as shallow as kanye west's. fuck her very hard though, stick my tongue in her asshole etc...

  • I think she speaks and expresses her opinions better through her music and art than interviews.

  • i respect this women so much. i live for her. my wish would be that you all can know the meaning of all of her songs.

  • doesn't look half bad for 38

  • she sounds drunk

  • Wow. Less than five minutes in and I'm bored by her.

  • she is so interesting, i cant stop watchin her!

  • MOST AMERICANS AND OTHER RACIST COUNTRYS HATE M.I.A IS BECAUSE SHE'S TRYING TO EXPRESS OPINIONS THAT ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN MOST OTHERS SINGERS, AND THEY'RE SCARED THAT NOW SHE COULD MAKE EVERYONE AWARE OF ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS.

    IS THIS what you lot call music

    1. Justin Bieber- Love at young age, Inappropiate

    2. Lil Wayne- Money, Girls

    3. Chris Brown- Abusing Woman, Money

    4. Kanye West- Fictional thoughts, Selfeshness

    -Music is used to express yourself and influence others in a rightful way

  • @Jaissitharas she is inarticulate and has an extremely limited vocabulary, if she wasn't SO fuckable xl would never have signed her. all the people you mention are shit, she's just as contrived.

  • @VengeanceIsMineBitch Cool story bro. Troll elsewhere

  • @0Rafiki you have a beautiful mouth for blowjobs, honeypie.

  • @0Rafiki regarding mia - i was basing my opinion having watched her bad girls video. i actually like born free - mainly because it's unlike her other 'music' and i like the way she sings boooooooorn free'. so, i'm not a troll, i love music and am sexually frustrated.

  • Sad that simplistic minds like "morrissey07" can't understand her. I guess it's because they're clueless about a lot of the things that go on in the world. But that's why the bullshit continues. They're pretty limited.

    I understand her perfectly. Not hard at all. I agree with a lot of what she says.

  • Gotta like MIA and have some respect for her.

  • M.I.A. > Nikki Minaj

  • She damn fine.

  • learn...LEARN VERY WELL from this woman..the reason why she speaks very slowly portrays how many thoughts and ideas shes got in that head of hers...Shes too smart to even phrase a sentence properly

  • @Scouserific So true! Preach!

  • hard to understand what she means.

  • She's incredibly unintelligent. 

  • @morrissey07 Care to explain?

  • She's dope.

  • Very rare in an artist where they get big and still keep there feet on the ground and dont get side tracked by all the other hullabaloo around them...

  • Maya is totally right about 16:00 about Born Free hypocrisy. Why are people ok about watching Gaddafi be killed yet can't watch Born Free?

  • this is probably the only 30 minute interview i'd watch from an artist...

  • lovely interview <3 lovely m.i.a.

  • I still feel like this is the best interview she's ever done. It's really close, honest, and explains a lot more about /\/\/\Y/\ and herself at that time.

  • Proud to be Srilankan Tamil !!!

  • American's voice is soooooo shit !!!

  • @TheChe0101 if you're talking about the interviewer, he's Canadian :)

  • I like M.I.A.'s music starting when I heard Paper Planes. Still like the music. Has a unique sound. After her middle finger Superbowl halftime I wanted to get a better read on her as a person. Listening to her speak is painful. She sounds like a stoned high school student in the way she speaks. She also does not have a sense of herself- rather she looks for something to oppose. I am not shocked by swear words or middle fingers just like I am not shocked when teenagers use the same language.

  • HOLY SHIT! I AM NOT LISTENING TO THIS FOR 37:25

    but i can watch her for hours.....

    MUTE

  • Shes hot!

  • The interviewer was great don't even say he didn't do a good job, he was neutral and asked all the right questions. And MIA... I don't know if she's quite as philosophical as you guys want her to be...

  • She's not that bright. Although she's probably intelligent by American standards. Got a couple good tunes, my mate Pat has met her twice and didn't even try it on with her so I can't imagine her being that special! Sorry if that comes across as harsh but that's my 2 pennies worth.

  • @BlakBlocAtak So because your mate didn't hit on her, she must be an idiot? I'm sure that's an absolutely accurate way of judging a woman's intelligence. -_-

  • @moosikerin Hang about, that's not what I'm sayin at all. Pat hits on every chick with a pulse and yet he didn't with her which is strange cause she's very attractive. That's all. She's a pop act with some "conscious" lyrics but she aint really sayin shit if you know what I mean. She has good production values on her tracks and good directors for her video's, without that I doubt you would of ever even heard of her. I wish her all the best.

  • lol i dont think she wanted to be interviewed

  • Intelligence with a british accent is so sexy.

  • She's got gorgeous lips.

  • Viewer discretion advised??? Ok......

  • There a sincere spark in her eyes that makes you want to listen to what she has to say, I'm very surprised, I had a complete different perception of her.

  • Regarding the current top comments: He's not telling her to stop touring, he's just challenging her with a question. He does not think she's a poser, these are journalistic techniques to arouse emotion from her.

    Intelligent? Okay. Pioneer...gorgeous? Okay. Well spoken? Absolutely not.

  • She is very interesting indeed... She looks high, actually, but still.

  • Great interview! I learned a lot about M.I.A.'s mixed media approach to art making. It's amazing to me that this fine artist, working with sound/music as a medium, somehow stumbled into the mainstream music industry. She speaks abstractly and struggles to put complex ideas into words, but Jian really tried to dig in and open up the conversation for a broader audience. M.I.A. has some amazingly insightful points, especially about power (20:15) and the creative restraints of the internet (24:00).

  • I JUST FELL IN LOVE <3

  • she talks less and slower than most celebrities, but i find her most interesting to watch/listen to..

  • love her accent, stance, and brilliant mind

  • Comment removed

  • Proud to be Tamil!!

  • the lad looks so embarrassed when he's reading all the shit out at the start, and rightfully so, she's just thinking 'wow'

  • Wow! She's hot AND she has talent!

  • then you can be aware and change the world for the better so everyone has basic human rights and opportunity's.only when EVERY human being alive has basic human rights,do we have the right to indulge ourselves in shallow thoughts and comments.

  • and for the west middle class lifestyle while you worry about the way she looks and such bullshit.the elite dont care about anyone.im glad shes at least trying to talk about these issues,esp when women are still so suppressed in the 21st century regardless of what your told otherwise.please educate yourself on the way the world is and works,no matter how sickening and horrifying it is to comprehend and accept your involvement in even if its indirectly,

  • and such and educate yourself on the way the world system is.innocent children,animals and people are working under slave labour everyday for the western societys to have clothes,computers,food,music etc.There being shot and blown to pieces for thier lands oil for our energy supply but were told there terrorists.There starving and dying because there lands resources are being stolen and deforested by the west fatcats to get richer,

  • reading half the bullshit comments under this...and i no longer wonder why nearly 2billion people are starving and living in poverty with the amount of crap ppl are concerned with.people in the entertainment industry and public eye are paid to keep there mouth shut,or killed.the more you work for the corporations,the bigger you get.so what does that say about the masses who buy the music from the robots??i recommend the ignorant masses who watch this watch Zeitgeist,the venus project

  • Shes fo fuckin sexy, I dont even suck pussy but I;ll bring a spoon for dat. She from my hometown n lived on my estate. Mitcham owwww

  • @cjewelz TROLL

  • @boudyboudyboudy Not really. Have a listen to Bad Girls and you'll understand what I'm talking about, you monkey.

  • I for one am glad she hasn't sold out. There aren't many people like that around as artists, and you don't often hear about them unless they've been commercialized like Bieber, Katy Perry, and in the US we have a high tolerance for violence but not sex or female telling you to fuck off unless she also lessens herself (just a girl, anyone?).

  • is she really 36 years old???

  • @TheLonghairraven yes a 36yr old mom...doesn't look like it tho.

  • Comment removed

  • isn't she like not aloud out of the country because she supports like terrorists in Somalia? idk I heard that somewhere.

  • @xXxDegrassiChickXxX no, she is very much against terrorism. she did a piracy funds terrorism mix tape and her song "paper planes" is about stereotypes against her. she wasn't aloud into the US because she was a Tamil (not a Tamil tiger, just a tamil) and she was labeled as a terroist.

  • @nyc2holiwud ooohhh alrightt i didn't think that was right, i just heard it someone say that once, but it didn't seem like it!

  • She's such a silly little bitch.

  • The fact that her bottom lip is shiny and her top lip is not, for some reason, really bothers me! Other than that, I agree with most that she's saying. For the longest time I thouht she was just one of those artists that everyone likes because of the beat, but now I know there's a brain behind the music. Glad to hear it.

  • @thatonechick2012 out of everything that she talks about her lip gloss is the only thing that bothers you? lol

  • she smells.

  • any reason why she has to swear all the time...

  • @RJSyeah because she's fucking angry, and if you aren't, then you're the problem.

  • Im not followin what this bitch is tryina say

  • Dude She's Retarded

  • @skatei You're fool. Go read a book

  • @skatei I'm guessing..you're a Nikki dipshit minaj and homo lil wayne fan!!!! When true artists speak... wankers like you cannot comprehend. GO READ A BOOK...SHEEP!

  • "the less you stand for and the less you say anything the more powerful you are" - great point...this guy is naive if he feels differently. Any singer/musician that goes with the flow and says yes to everything ends up standing for nothing...to be honest not sure how much she lives what she says, but its still good to see an artist stand for something

  • tell me im tweakin and i really wish it weren't true but at certain angles she can def look like selena gomez. damn it....

  • Caaaaauuuuuteee!!!

  • I could listen to her talk or being interviewed for hours.

  • wow she really is cute

  • Is the interviewer nervous? -___-

  • She speaks on a whole new level. I don't think most people understand what she's on about most of the time (Be honest), including the interviewer...

  • She really is quite amazing. She says it like it really is, for ONCE someone tells the establishment to FUCK OFF! She doesn't care about charts and "success" she cares about her self and how she is growing. Amazing, really. This interview will be seen in the future as an artist who drew a line in the sand and said no more!

  • when was this interview taken? interesting to see whether she still talks about these things now

  • MIA aka Indian illuminated witch docotor aka another sell out rat

  • @m9ronaldo did you even watch the video? it shows you dont know wtf your talking about 

  • Hook nose jew...

  • @newbutthunt BETTER THAN A "BIG" NOSED WHITEMAN.

  • @sabrom jews are white derp

  • @newbutthunt NOT THE REAL JEW DERP!! THOSE ONES YOU SEE TODAY ARE KHAZARS FROM THE SEIR MOUNTAINS OR POLAND MY BIG NOSED FRIEND THE REAL TRUE JEW ARE THE BLACKS IN AMERICA SCATTERD ALSO THROUGH OUT THE 4 CORNERS AND ARE BY BLODD NOT RELIGION GOT IT BOY!

  • Watching this video at 3am in the morning as if she is some sort of prophet. Never watched a video so intently.

  • lol shes all over the place when she answers his questions... and it seems like she's trying to keep it simple with her explanations too

  • che donna ti amo M.I.A

  • m.i.a. you're such a cool person, I would like to hang out with you

  • It surprises me how busy and intense her music is, and how relax she looks she is.

  • she is so freaking smart and unique.. not to mention freaking hot

  • Why is he saying she should just stop touring and etc? This guy doesn't get her. She's probably the most important artist of the new millennium and this guy thinks she's just a poser. A poser can look rebellious and spit cliches, but this woman spits pure philosophy!

  • @thewrathofbombast will you shut the fuck up? honestly. get her off a pedestal and you go be the most important artist there is... in anything you do. shes a human being. nothing more.

  • @thewrathofbombast Bullshit. She's got Prince level arrogance - maybe higher - without the sort of genius-level talent that would justify it. I suspect it started as a defensive reaction but she seems to have internalized it. And on top of this - wtf collaborating with Nicky Minaj and fucking Madonna, I'd guess she's trying to attack Gaga this way.

  • she's always a few steps ahead. It's 2012 and the internet is about to be taken over

  • are there cuss words in this

  • @11Akita who give a fuck?

  • i'd hit it.

  • she is absolutely brilliant!! i have only seen her live twice and i need to times that by 10938!! she is intelligent, well spoken, a pioneer and gorgeous!

    they keep talking about the oscars and its confusing me...the grammy's perhaps?? they are both bullshit anyways...

  • @ffets she got an oscar nom (and win?) for scoring Slumdog Millionaire

  • @ffets Oscars for Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack

  • @ffets she was nominated for and Oscar for her music in Slumdog Millionaire

  • yeah fuckin miles davis used to give interviews like that.

  • fact is: you need controversy to sell that shit within a pool of competing sharks. i like mia a lot. her music itself seems to be a "cheap shot" at the planets menaces that our governments are. and i love those sweet cheap shots.

  • 1 hit wonder?

  • it is true she is so attractive but the words coming out of her mouth could progress the world, she is truly amazing.

  • THANKGOD for M.I.A

  • She is so hot, I wanna fuck her up the butthole, which is a big deal 'cause I'm willing to have a nasty case of shit dick in order to give her anal pleasure...

    The point is, I love M.I.A.

  • this dude is annoying

    

  • I never realized how amazing she is until I watched this interview. She seems so deep and intelligent. Everything she was saying was right on. Fuck she is cool.

  • ROTFL!!!!LMAO @21:26

  • This guy sucks

  • shes hot

  • She's very passionatte about her sound and voice, she's so talented its a shame that some assholes are deaf and prejudice!

  • Damn she is hot!

  • M.I.A is DEEP........DAG.....GREAT MIND

  • she talks so much fucking sense. its just amazing.

  • MIA i love you !! u got the best lips I ever seen in my entire life !!!!!!!!!!

    

  • She's pretty defensive considering the casual gentleness of the interviewer and the interview itself. I hate when celebrities feign ignorance.

  • I get her..shes a beautiful person that cares

  • she looks like she's high as a kite... which is probably why she can't seem to answer the questions posed to her !

  • I love how interesting and intelligent her points are, and yet despite that the top comments are "MIA IS SO FUCKING HOT" and "I want to make love to M.I.A."

  • @Gaijindesune yea you do have a point, she must be the most political musican right next to bob dylan, maybe i'm wrong

  • @Gaijindesune LMAO, you poor casualty of a single parent home. You've been raised by a feminist fur munching dyke who taught you that you HAVE to "Respect" and honor every women, so now you're a ballsless man. If u even have a girl, look in her purse and get your nuts back.

    There's nothing wrong for men to want to go in on a hot looking woman. Her brain activity is only important if you're looking for a wife, but itll also be your lost eventually.

    Don't be a young lil faggot.

  • @mozadek1 Ahahahaha I have two parents (a mother AND father if you must know), I respect everyone deserving of respect, and I didn't say she wasn't hot, just that that isn't her best feature. Get over yourself.

  • @Gaijindesune TRUTH!

  • she's freakin' awesome. i love that she not only speaks her mind, but truly has something of value to say. she may not be the most eloquent person, but she's obviously intelligent and creative, and i have a lot of respect for her and her struggles. m.i.a rocks!!!

  • she is a sri lankin british women she is amazing

  • this bitch is hot and on point

  • I would love to be in an arranged marriage with her

  • She seems to be SO careful as to what she says. Too much media spin has caused her to be careful with what she says and how she says it I think.

  • I would sign a prenupt to marry her!!

  • Comment removed

  • I have watched this interview 4 times now, and I still don't understand a single thing she talked about....

  • @tumblrz wait... i'm getting some stuff now...

  • shes definitely a very important figure in music but by goodness does she talk shit. id be worried about her mental health tbh.

  • @quillber well wouldn't you prefer her to be honest lol?

  • shes so confused

  • I really like her music and i feel like i understand it. But i think she had difficulty expressing what she really wanted to say in this interview

  • I don't think she could sound more stupid.

  • music sometime's needs to just be left alone and unjudged, even if's its produced with mistakes and all, it's better to hear something original then the same slosh over and over again. I think she's a more prettier person than J-Lo's Big ASS all over VEVO.

  • LONG INTRO....means good artist.....

  • ITS SOMETHING ABOUT THEM BRITISH WOMAN AND THOSE ACCENTS

  • @MrJoekidd89 do you ever wonder if british woman think the same about american accents? :o!

  • Was she stoned?

  • this interviewer isn't completely a douche, I think he was pretty professional, he let her talk and give all her views, he didn't really impose anything on her, I think most of his pressing was because she was sort of vague with some of the answers and stuff, but obviously MIA isn't suppose to be a politician at all. I think she is a genius, but I think the way she communicated in this interview make her come across as more cynical and contradictory than she is. Also she's beautiful.

  • you know.

  • yeah the internet changed hands right when your new record came out... what a self important baby.

  • she is sexy...

  • This guy is a douche

  • this interviewer is a jerk

  • this interviewer is a downer... why is he grilling her so hard?

  • that dude has an old ass laptop

  • She's a revolutionizer in her own right.
