M.I.A. on what it was like when Paper Planes blew up

[1dmugger1]

marry me

[SpiteSire]

M.I.A is awesome, hence the song 'Paper Planes'.

[armpits17]

Canada welcomes her! She is a great artists and very interesting to listen to. I'm glad she is bringing her heritage and style to our culture because we never hear anything like it. Bringing it into pop culture is a very important thing to do.. Very positive and gets me excited.

[K90P90S90]

British accent is cool :)

[Bethanylufschu]

Aww im commenting for no reason(:

[OriginFromKansas]

She's like lady gaga, except not stupid.

[d0ntgetburn3d]

MIA doesn't take shit from no one that's why she owns

[GreenAce92]

Her accent is fucking awesome

[Martinchavero]

i like how she keeps saying "ya know" :)

[jjoeshaw]

"paper planes blew up" terrorism for kids?

[KMurdock1974]

@jjoeshaw lol

[CoreanJunkie]

She kinda sorta look like a mix of halle barry and janet jackson lol

[CrankDATdance56]

She's a London girl

[nerdcreations1]

[gingerpie88ify]

@nerdcreations1 yeah! she does in the last one too ...

[DALYAALIOUFI]

[BollywoodBachan]

@DALYAALIOUFI

She's from Sri Lanka.

[copenhagenkeagan]

[atomv3]

@copenhagenkeagan fucking racist animal

[blackhumanity103]

[ouroboro747]

I've saw an interview he did with some artist .. he is SO fucking serious it's humerous. lol

[Jmuradin]

F the government!

[sciencemansandera]

other then good looks I see no skill at all here sorry I'm a rocker from Detroit where we REALLY ROCK

[username0u812ic]

@sciencemansandera there are still people living in detroit that place is a total dump.

[hash1212121212]

@sciencemansandera

you sound like a fukin fruit from detroit.

[RamRaj04]

@shanil100 do you know what's ltte's mistake? They didn't kill civilians singhalese like Sri Lanka government killed Tamil. If they did that, then you will know the Sri Lanka history. The Tamil asks for equal opportunity. Is that wrong? Please study your own country history. Of course not history which they are teaching in your school.

[CJNeuls]

Huh?

[JimmKg]

So basically she's hipster

[surfsumi]

her father is a terrorist from Sri Lanka.. She also clear supporter of terrorist group called LTTE.. thats why she talks about civil war, etc.. her heart knows the truth...

[limetheleamer]

@surfsumi her father wasn't apart of the LTTE, but I'm sure she does support them...as do many Tamils

[limetheleamer]

@2011Tamil her father was an activist...he was also a supporter of the LTTE, but thats about it

[charicebiggestfan]

oh my god she is british i thought from her songs she was indian

[Samuel115s]

@charicebiggestfan shes actually Sri lankan not indian

[BollywoodBachan]

@Samuel115s

It doesn't matter. She's an ethnic Tamil, and the reason outsiders might get her confused for Indians is because many South Indians are ethnic Tamils.

[Samuel115s]

@BollywoodBachan that is true. plus south Indians look just like Bengali and sir lankan's

[BollywoodBachan]

@Samuel115s

Bengalis don't really look like Tamils. In fact, Bangladesh was considered ''Eastern Pakistan'' until it was liberated. Bengalis as a whole generally have more of an Eastern Asian DNA component when compared to South India or Sri Lanka. An example of that is Riya Sen, Rani Mukherjee and Bipasha Basu. Many Bengalis could even pass for Filipinos or other Southeast Asians for instance, whereas Tamils look quite distinct.

[Samuel115s]

@BollywoodBachan oh i always thought that Bengali looked like south Indians, on sri lankan's because of their very dark skin. i probably didn't look at their features properly. i don't know how they could have called Bengali's eastern Pakistanis cuz Bengali's don't even look Pakistani, Pakistanis they look similar to north Indians.

[BollywoodBachan]

@Samuel115s

Bangladesh and Pakistan was one country before they split. There are various races in Bangladesh btw, some are Indo-Aryan, while others are more Asiatic looking, and yes many Bangladeshis even look Pakistani, some of them even look Afghan, since there were Afghan incursions in that region. Physically, Pakistanis are intermediate between North Indians and Iranians/Central Asians with more East Med Caucasoid influences.

[tarajade87]

@BollywoodBachan some look Thai or chinese/burmese! lol. my best friends are Bangladeshi their whole family look thai. so beautiful. just thought id share that lol

[rkoguy333]

gotta luv her

[ShowEmSwag]

You lot dont understand shit, u lot jus chat shit by the effin colour of the bird. Racists wanks

[shanil100]

25 years of war civil war to get rid of her people.. thank god it ended it was people like her dad and the tamil terrorism that my people of my country can go to work and come back home in one piece. fuck the l.t.te jaffna is now ours...

[muppyiscool]

I don't know why some people are making it a big deal about her reference to Sri Lanka as her country. She moved there when she was a baby and lived there till 9 and then went back to London where she learned English hence her accent. A lot of people associate themselves with their heritage more and not exactly where they grew up based on how they were raised. Plus it's not even that serious....

[BeautyChicSince86]

@muppyiscool Amen for reals tho I think its cuz their racist and dnt even know it. I get asked that question all the time and its like Dude do you hear me talking does it sound like im from another country. DumbASSes!!

[TrulyPrincetonMB]

You guys say her hair and make-up is raggy and stuff. Well i think it's stunning. If you knew about fashion. You would understand. So quit hatinggg[:

[morgant04]

Her makeup and hair is kinda raggy.....just sayin.

[byxa99]

@morgant04 Its on purpous she wants to show that make up and hair dosent make the woman its the personality

[BeautyChicSince86]

@morgant04 funny thing is that raggy hair is what Beyonce and Lauryn london are spending thousands of dollers to get a peice of or even the texture. Its true.

[chriskate30]

THAT MAKEUP IS HIDEOUS. 

[dierra91wildone]

Smh her patents homeland... y don't you ppl get it. Smh

[TheINFJGuy]

Why do people question Pop stars (like this / lady gaga) - as if they are deep philisophical people? Come on it's just a fucking electronic beat one hit wonder with electronic vocals slapped on it.

[mithilag]

"when Paper Planes blew up" ...pun not intended

[firingshoopdawhoops]

i luv her outfit shes so original...not like other celebs wearing fancy clothes every where they go...dont get me wrong i luv them but she awesome

[tech4156]

eh? is she english? she sounds english.

[RocketeerDesign]

@tech4156 yes she is

[MichaelWhiteE17]

@tech4156 Raised in Hounslow, South London

[Rae56789]

@tech4156 raised in england yes but her parents are from sri Lanka which is why she looks the way she does

[BigBaggaBlues]

how's it her country?? she sounds english to me, surely that is her country

[osker450]

@BigBaggaBlues she is British

[BigBaggaBlues]

@osker450 i know you foool she keeps talking about sri lanka or whatever as her country

this pisses me off, by that logic half of europe is my country

with that accent she is clearly british. i bet she loves a good cuppa, i bet she does millions of things she would never do if she was from there. whether she likes it or not england shaped her to who she is... it pisses me off

[osker450]

@BigBaggaBlues ye 2 true it did she need to mention uk then

[Ree1993100]

this interviewer seems REALLY intense...

[quillber]

i just cant reconcile with how full of shit she is. i think you need to be from a similiar part of the world as her upbringing to realise just how full of shit she is.

[19DonnieBrasco89]

@quillber You don't even know her you idiot, lol. So how would you begin to even know that she is full of shit?

[quillber]

@19DonnieBrasco89 totes lol omg

[19DonnieBrasco89]

@quillber WTF? What a retard.

[quillber]

@19DonnieBrasco89 meow *burp* 

[abc142898]

@quillber

The grammer monster will eat you tonight. :P

[funk3yfr3shkid]

why does she dress up like shes one of the jokers henchmen from batman?

[piquantes]

She never answered the initial question. But there are amazing ideas in all of that inarticulation.

[maxinNchillaxin]

kiss ass

[maxinNchillaxin]

I like this interview. The lyrics from her songs in comparison to the dialogue in her interview are completely different.

[psychoholic25]

shes 36 yrs old...wow.

[mookie2637]

I like some of what she does, but she's incredibly inarticulate...

[pproduction123]

Holy shit she is gorgeous.

[juliodpg19]

@pproduction123 indeed



[laments09]

M.I.A robbed the jokers closet!!



[naneemargiela]

It feels great to be Sri Lankan (well at least half in my case..lol), since we have a beautiful girl like Maya representing us!!!!

[Cleverstar8]

Damn she is fine as hell!

[kennyshortcut]

[dromycatcher]

[godoy90]

#M.I.A.swagg

[electricturf]

[MrMikes1991]

little awkward how hes leaning in lol

[xr2kid]

That's so cool! Paper Planes was a Joke and it ended up being her most popular song

[RasOye]

Το Στρουμπουλοπουλος δεν υπαρχει πουθενα

[ee07b067]

Don't get me wrong.....but it's always funny as hell watching a south asian speaking in british accent :P

[Brazpantaneiro]

@ee07b067 If you're never been in London...you couldn't know how many different accent has over there, my friend...So that's the accent from Londoner's citizen. So it doesn't metter where the people come from...Sorry my friend but this is London!!!

[mrmindcontrol16]

she so sexy & her accent jus make it betta!!

[LivingIn1969]

wow, u make one popular song and suddenly ur a star.. what the fuck

[ZeranZeran]

@LivingIn1969 that's pretty much how it's always been... lol

[Ladiixo]

@LivingIn1969 "You only get one shot do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime"

[emj420]

they are so into each other

[bcut]

she is HAWT!!!

[ricklickme]

What was she busy doing? Making bomb belts like her Tamil Tiger heros? You know, those violent effs who gave the world suicide bombers.

[bmaj7]

@ricklickme They didn't give the world suicide bombers; you're making unqualified comments. Now run along and play your video games.

[ricklickme]

@bmaj7 "The first modern suicide bombing ... perfected by the factions of the Lebanese Civil War and especially by the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka" -- "The Tigers pioneered the use of suicide belts" -- "The LTTE is notorious for having pioneered the suicide bomb jacket, as well as the use of women in suicide attacks"

15 seconds on google = truth.

[bmaj7]

@ricklickme .....and when the us dropped 2 atomic bombs on Japanese civilians that was an act of ending aggression versus blatant genocide.Seems to me you're using a historical anomaly to spread a perception.That Islamic terrorists mimiced another group is the Islamic terrorists' choice. In fact you can say that the world has been taught how to murder whole populations from the air from the americans.Would you?Why or why not?

Google = information,Critical thinking= analysis of information

[vladetic3]

Umm, why not just upload the entire interview???

[TriathleteP90]

no ideo what she was saying..

[DominicanIdentity]

@TriathleteP90 Do you have ADD? Everything she is saying seems pretty clear to me.

[breakaway07]

she looks beautiful!

[benympls]

Like MIA's music but when i listen to her i cant stand her, she's just a faker.

if you didnt want fame you wouldnt spend all this time securing record deals and hiring managers that'll push you into the limelight. Nobody just "becomes" famous, she's fought damn hard for it but now that it isnt what she thought it'd be she's turning towards something else "humanitarianism." But its done out of selfish want and desire... its bullshit self aggrandizing.

[KAHLUT]

where can you watch the whole thing ?

[hitch4645]

"success is really being successful being successful. you know what i mean"

no. no i don't

[TheSamahelshaikh]

I lOVE her Make up .. MIA ROCKS

[FOBmzunguREPTILICUS]

she has symptoms of Monarch Mind-Control programming...she needs help

[KAHLUT]

@FOBmzunguREPTILICUS you have symptoms of extreme paranoia...

half of her songs are based on anti- government messages so how does it make sense that she is on some 'mind control' programme ?

[FOBmzunguREPTILICUS]

@KAHLUT ...disinformation agents can also come as an "angel of light"...do not be fooled my duped fwen...she wears black and white...the duality persona...2 different people...good and evil becoming 1...the esoteric is what is being revealed...she can fool u, but she cant fool me...Fritz Springmeier and Cisco Wheeler will teach you...The Holy Spirit of Truth will guide you to see ur TRUE enemies...war on the mind

[marulpragasam]

She looks like she's about to burst into tears :(

[cellardoorx]

id rail 

[ludicer]

Straight to hell is better!

[dalesalsa]

VERY WELL SAID....

[thelestermillado]

George is a great interviewer. He really indulges into whatever the other person is saying and connects with them on another level.

[dubconcrete]

I truly believe that MIA is an artist, and her new LP should be treated like that. all the critics panned it, but she has the right to be adventurous and perhaps make mistakes

[blahvale]

George is so freaking great. He's one of the few people I still respect when it comes to interviews, I love how he leans into the person and looks at them with genuine interest in what they are saying ^_^

[FOBmzunguREPTILICUS]

@blahvale ...george doesnt really ask the #1 question..."do you believe planes hit the Twin Towers and the Pentagon or Not???"...this is the question for all

[break4love23]

@FOBmzunguREPTILICUS WTF, why does that matter?!?!

[FOBmzunguREPTILICUS]

@break4love23 ...this question dont matter 2 u now, but it will later...theyre settin us up for TOTAL MIND CONTROL...and this show is programming u!

[patrickdurden]

@FOBmzunguREPTILICUS how do you know?

[FOBmzunguREPTILICUS]

@patrickdurden ...the question is "How do you not know?"

[Jordan2451]

@blahvale he leans into her and looks at her with a dead stare because he is un-dressing her with his eyes...

[5H4V3D89]

@blahvale I never really noticed before but your right hes a great interviewer, I started watching because his questions were ones I wanted to ask instead of generic crap lol...

[pachanga701]

She's great. "the katy perry of the time..." wow, powerful words.

[soseg]

i want to sleep with a sexy chocolate sri lankan woman now

[tamilvengai]

@soseg She is a Tamil From Tamil Eelam .. not sri lanka..

[GermanicPrussian]

@soseg She looks like a camel. But at least camels have white teeth.

[ecwdude17]

@soseg you pervert!
