  • Shes so smart. I'm not a huge fan of the music style, but I love how individual she is, how she obviously knows what shes talking about and wants to get a message across.

  • her lips prolly taste like jolly ranchers with hot sauce

  • This radio host is a retard. Why is he asking her opinion on US immigration and the BP oil spill?? And Mexico may have owned some of our land once, but it's been our land for a very long time, so that was dumb of him to mention... MIA doesn't seem very articulate. To her, immigration comes down to the amount of physical space available to accommodate immigrants? What a simpleton... And I just noticed the poster below also finds her inarticulate. So there must be something to it.

  • @LateNightCable Because a simpleton has the ability to write two critically acclaimed albums...

  • @jjoeshaw Surrounded by professionals any moron can make an album. And with the right marketing "critics" will acclaim it. That's the pop music industry for ya.

  • @LateNightCable Except it was a universally acclaimed album that she wrote herself. And marketing does not change the way critics rate things.

  • @jjoeshaw Actually marketing does change things. Critics are bought, and are as phony as the Grammy's. Either way, MIA is a pop simpleton, and presents herself as such in this interview.

  • @LateNightCable Either way her albums were barely marketed. She's pretty much an indie artist. And she's far more intelligent than britney spears, kesha, pretty much any american pop star...

  • @jjoeshaw Is this an American vs. British pop star thing? Because pop is pop when it gets right down to it.

  • @LateNightCable No, it's not. She's not even a pop star

  • @jjoeshaw Her style isn't Taylor Swift, but she's definitely pop. They wouldn't have had her play at the Super Bowl with Madonna for starters if she weren't mainstream pop.

  • @LateNightCable She isn't mainstream pop. Have you never heard any of her songs from kala or arular? Even "bad girls" isn't pop! It's not Taylor Swift either, I never said it was. The reason she sang at the super bowl with madonna was because she was featured in that song.

  • @jjoeshaw And she wouldn't be featured in Madonna's pop song if she weren't at least mainstream. Paper Airplanes is definitely pop and a bunch of her other songs, even though I'm not familiar with all of them as I'm not a fan. Pop music derives it's name from popular. If she weren't a mainstream pop performer, nobody would know who she is, and Rolling Stone would never mention her, that's for sure. That's as pop as you can get.

  • @LateNightCable Her genre isn't pop though. Paper planes isn't pop, it's alternative. Her other songs are either electronic, hip-hop and sometimes even rock.

  • @jjoeshaw Her music is a strange stew, but it's been edging the pop charts for years. Pop music covers many genres, and if you hear it on pop radio, which I have, it's gotta be pop music. You have to be, or your music won't get played on those stations.

  • She's incredibly inarticulate. I can't even tell what she's trying to say with all the stammering. That poof in the ball cap wants to give the Mexicans land that was never theirs because he hates the US so much.

  • @polkat312 just because something has been practised for a long time, it doesn't make it the right thing to do.

    women couldn't always vote in elections.

    blacks didn't always have basic rights.

  • What about "national borders" do idiots not understand? Wait...nvm. I just answered my own question.

  • wut the fuk u talkin a bout aint my falt we dont wont wet backs in AZ

  • arizona immigration law FTW

  • She know as much as he does about the USA. They both have excuses she can't read and he's a retard

  • hey faggots, i am one too and i just got dumped. If anyone wants to call someone else hot, please do it with me :D

  • DJ Skee is sexyyyy

  • Proof that Born Free is partly about Arizona, I knew it. I just fell more in love with MIA and didn't think that was possible. I have gone lesbian for her, lol. <3 love love love you Maya.

  • Comment removed

  • I am the child of Mexican immigrants. I agree. Thanks for this interview I agree with you interviewer and I agree with you M.I.A. Love love love you M.I.A. <3 .... This is the truth. She speaks truth, no matter how hard or harsh. We need more people like this. I vow to be one of them, though I know I can never touch her coolness.

  • Comment removed

  • She's beautiful! 

  • Shes perfect We should listen and learn She should have a high position in the new world

  • Mia is "well spoken", knowing many artists I can tells shes one, slightly awkward but if you exercise the patience to tune into her what she says is very interesting. She totally unself-conscious too which is awesome!

  • "and stuff...and stuff.....like...you know.....and stuff like government stuff."

    Eeeks. She's made some cool songs, but MIA is definitely not well spoken at all. Very awkward to watch. Maybe she is just nervous or out of her element.

  • In that outfit she looks like she came from guantanamo bay

  • pro<3

  • i love m.i.a shes so beautiful i can watch her talk allday shes sexy without being slutty plus she smart and brilliant artist..love u mya shes badasssss

  • I'm a faggot then. :D

  • She's a pretty girl ;-)

    

  • You know what I think, I think this whole immigration thing & creating laws trying to get rid of them & promulgating racism through the media is all to divert attention from real problems. Blaming "them=immigrants" for problems. It's all just white noise to cover up, I wanna see these people really kick out every immigrant & see where they're left standing...they wouldn't....they can't. It's all bark no bite. Immigrants are here to fuckin stay, deal with the shit! :D

  • i think she is beautiful love m. i a i am an immigrant i am of black .puerto rican indian and sicillian decent i come from culebra puerto rico .an i moved to philly ..an now i live in va tough to pull off so i no how it feels to be an immigrantt ya no so big ups to tamil sri lanka .culebra .america all ova but help immigrants definatley ..

  • miss" you know"... "you know"

  • Ugly ideologies, such as, blaming immigrants for unemployment, overpopulation, crime, and poverty are all results of economic/political downturns. There's always been immigrants, there will always be; isn't this a "country made of immigrants"? The ones who vote in favor of this bill are those who need a scapegoat to blame all the world's problems on. We did it with the Chinese, Irish, Italians, Eastern Europeans, and the Mexicans are just another victim in the cycle of ignorance and nativism.

  • Why she's wearing 1992 necklace?

  • @supergirl5ful Have u heard her song XR2...it was during the time when there was a huge rave scene in UK i guess or wherever she is from & I guess it had a big influence on her...I've read something like that on some M.I.A. forums...I had the same question...

  • i wanna get me that head phones. obama s not gonna step in baby, he is a pup

  • Comment removed

  • Also in 1992, along with the LA riots and many other riots in the US, were the worst riots in the history of India since the country's independence struggles in the 30's and early 40's (Gandhi called for peace of course...but anyway...)...if you want to know more look up the 1992 Bombay (Mumbai) riots in India it is so sad and it was so bad that movie-maker Mani Ratnam (who also did an awesome movie about the struggle in Sri Lanka) made a film called "Bombay" about it.

  • She is a cutie and those lips are like pow. But besides her looks, i really respect and love her music and message. She is like a breath of fresh air in this world of watered down plain jane pop music.

  • wow..this is some profound commentary I am glad I clicked on it...not so much. An English woman..who obviously doesnt understand states rights or federal roles, according to the constitution, talking about the president's need to step in and say "you cant do that."

    How dumbed down are we?

  • @malangsob But keep in mind though, that she's an immigrant/refugee AND that she's from another country wether it be her homeland (Sri Lanka) or her land of citizenship (United Kingdom) and also, a LOT of people were against it where I'm from (Miami). It's a controversal issue and I personally agree with the law, but it's a hard thing for people to swallow, especially in a country LITERALLY built through immigration.

  • It's not maya, or miya or mia. It's M.I.A! Holy shit people.

  • "I left my controversial coat at home, folks." :D She's so great.

  • she's so cute n stunning, n at the same time so real n serious!

    I LOVE MAYA!!! :D

  • I personally think she wanted to say more... but its politics, opinions, and what nots But its on radio... she just gave very tip of the iceberg answers.... like she said she didnt want to talk shit.

  • Isnt she hella cool??? Shes like a super cool Rapper/Musician

  • In regards to the Immigration law in Arizona it's good that she recognized that most of the people there are for the new law. Her view that Obama should "step in" I don't agree with. The COMMUNITY dealing with ILLEGAL immagration should be the ones to decide NOT the FEDERAL government.

  • @Clint0426 and who controls the opinion of "the community?" why the fuck you think that your government spends more on the media and advertisement annually than upon anything else? it's because they brainwashing you! talking about brown people are taking jobs and siphoning off federal funds???LMFAO and yet, they never mention the "free trade agreements" and how those agreements have taken jobs from amerikkkans and shipped them over to 3rd world countries bcuz they'l work for kibbles! STUPID!

  • *Honestly, I did not know she was born in '75...I thought she was ten years younger-she is just so beautiful, in and out.*

  • one hit wonder

  • @CAS53507 ....She had major hits across the world way before she made "Paper Planes" which is her biggest hit in the states.....So, no one can every call her a one hit wonder....Her music is amazing, been a fan since 2005

  • @CAS53507 You know who else are "one hit wonders"? Lou Reed, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, the list goes on and on. If you're putting someone down based on the fact they've only had one top 10 hit in the US, you need better taste in music. Most of the stuff that's at the top of the charts is absolute easily-digestible crap anyway.

  • shes a great artist but she knows very little about our countrys deep issues with imigration. these people who are illegal dont pay taxes and are getting a free ride. especially their kids who go to school. we have to put their kids through school. screw that. Im not racist at all but i believe in fairness and equal rights for people who give back to their community. we have to play by the dam rules for now so should they.

  • @j10betty you have a point but there's better ways of solving this then taking away american rights. why would you southerners wanna give more power to the govt and police when u know how corrupt they are. u need to take away their powers and give it to the ppl. then maybe you want have armies in iraq and afghanistan murdering innocent ppl and stealin their oil.

  • @LalitaShaktas I def agree wit you on most of the people in this country are not even closly native. we are all decendents from immigrants born in europe as far as white people are concerned. this country was founded on stealing and genecide. there is nothing honerable or sacred about our four fathers means to create this nation under "SO CALLED GOD!' we really need to wake up and teach our children the true history of americas past. mabye she understands da ethical issue but she wasnt indepth

  • @j10betty right on, you have a lot of good points to make and good things to say, i respect you a lot. much respect and all the best to you. :) peace, friend

  • Well her husband and kid are American...also honestly? Im American but I must say that well our country (specifically clinton-and i am a democrat but im angry with him for this) created NAFTA and the WTO...which not only has screwed over Americans by sending our jobs overseas for cheap labor but has brought cheap labor (good honest mexican folks usually) into the country because it screwed over mexico and took them of even more jobs than it took us. they are just trying to survive.

  • @LalitaShaktas So we need to abolish NAFTA and the WTO. Something kucinich wanted to do. i wish obama would do it but bush sure as hell wouldn't, clinton created it and well it seems unlikely he will. it would help our country (USA) and the whole world soooo much.

  • @LalitaShaktas ya even conservatives loved clinton, and they back him up for taking care of the economy as prez but he screwed this economy up where it wouldnt show for years after he was out, as far as real effects on the working class

  • she is beautiful

  • Does anyone know why her necklace says, "1992"? What happened in 1992?

  • @DudewithdaShades La riots happened that year. go figure shes wearing that neckless for rebellion reasons

  • @j10betty Oh, that's interesting. Thanks!

    lol no really? something looks weird about them ;/

    i'd still bone her grill

  • I mean, yeah I guess these issues are specifically American, but shit. This interview leads me to ask "How much 'ACT' is there in M.I.A.'s political activism?"

  • She's not really informed. Not a good ideal to respond.

  • M.I.A is fucking stupid, i now fucking hate her, shes talking about de populizing the earth, fuck her thats what the illuminati belives in, and she smiles and laughs at the BP spill, WTF, man ima go hit the studio fuck this bitch

LIKE ME :) !

  • "people are against boycotting it" wtf does that even mean. "population-wise and stuff there is space for people here" wow, she needs to stick to building dams. Nice overbite go nibble down a tree and stop giving your uninformed vacuous opinion. Last time I saw a nose like that I was feeding it peanuts a circus. Pause at exactly 1:00, notice the eyes, set so far apart on her head she has got to be a victim of fetal alcohol syndrome. You could go spelunking in those nostril caves.

  • @nyarltep ur comment was really mean

  • @KMELIZ21 Oh no another dipshit retard,who can't even use entire words like "You are" thinks a comment I made was mean. Hey moron, when you actually contribute to youtube by posting a video of your own then you can have an opinion. On your bio you say "heaven is my home" then in the next sentence contradict yourself with this gem "I Am A Citizen of the World!!! " It took three,count them,three explanation points for you to express how much you meant what you said. Step in front of a bus, idiot.

  • @nyarltep lol, ur such a cyber bully

  • Paper Planes I think at least to me is one of those songs that will never get old no matter how many times you play it. Thumbs up if you agree.

  • @PRtoRP actually that song is fucking gay, stop living in the past

  • @PRtoRP stick yer thumb up your ass,, U STUPID FUCK!!!

  • @lexyota

    Lol why you getting pissed off? I'm complementing.

  • fuck u illegal racist la raza nazi MESSYcan invading border criminal supporters. down with mexico, and may u supporters get hit by an drunk driving illegal criminal.

  • @sickoicko12 that's the same thoughts that started WWII O.O and the nazi regime have all but disbanded if not they should we don't have the patience to deal weith the likes of nazism especially here in the US stop saying shit like that before u kill ALL of the human race

  • i see a big nose....holy shit, she lifted her head, thats a bus shelter...!! i see big teeth!! such a little person...

  • Obama should do something but they dont let him do anything so...

  • earphone jamz suck

  • she lost her self at 2:07 lol she was going somewere but then she lost it LOL

  • Project camalot reviews it alongside Project avalon dot net is the sister website.

    Please check it out if you wish to know the truth. The media have been blocked out by the government as the pictures and videos being shown are over 4 months old now!

    Ontop of that, as a result of the oil it is now "raining oil" in the most simplest terms over parts of America and if you read the facts it is going to get worse.

    Good to hear celebrity views.

  • @QueloGua401 you have no right to call her ugly or anything .... u must be a ugly motherfuka ur self ...i bet ur probably a virgin u get no pussy.... so stfu

  • @ballanumber1 LMAO U Must not no me

  • @QueloGua401 yea ur right u probably get nothing but HARD DICK UP YOUR ASS. i wouldnt be surprised if u asshole was was the size of tennis ball

  • @ballanumber1 LOL what are you so mad about is she your sister or some shit im entitled to my opinion nigga if i think shes ugly shes ugly UNO...

  • @QueloGua401 anyone that thinks shes not hot are either faggots or bitter hags. pick one dear.

  • @superc WHy? do you people care so much

  • @QueloGua401 ask yourself the same question mr gay brown monkey

  • @superc you shouldn't use that word. And gay men can tell when a woman is attractive. Don't be so hateful.

  • @ohBTW Thank you for saying this, people use the f* word like it's nothing & its just not appropriate. Just a little backstory on the word "faggot" for future people who read this, the word meant kindling & back in the days when they would burn witches they would also burn homos. They would release the gays & tell them that if they brought back enough faggots or kindling to burn the witches with that they would be set free of course there was never enuf wood so they themselves were used as wood.

  • @superc can I think she's hot and still be a faggot? Oooooooooo Betty!

  • @superc I knowww! I am a white female american who thinks Maya is probably one of the most beautiful women I EVER seen.

  • @superc I'm a faggot and I think she's hot.

  • @BjorkGudmundsdottir u make me sick,stop fucken hot chicks and suck my Ass hole

  • @superc I was kinda with you until your homophobic crap. Shut the fuck up man!

  • @superc Listen here. I'm a "faggot" and I think Maya is one of the most beautiful women on the planet. Narrow-minded people like yourself are not "hot."

  • @superc there is no need for that language. To each their own. Your language is offensive. Many people will find her attractive physically and her spiritually. I personally find her attractive, because of her intellegence and her heritage and her music. I know some might not feel that same way and im ok with that. To each their own. As long as people dont say offensive things against her, it doesnt exactly bother me. I dont know what your conversation was like but... please be nice!!

  • @QueloGua401 WHY?! cause she doesn't have blonde hair and blue eyes?

  • @oanunkor honestly dont take my comment too seriously i dont really judge girls based off of looks all the time

  • @oanunkor yes

  • damn. she got a big nose!

  • I think she forgot to say that the people at BP ARE A BUNCH OF LAZY JACKASSES THAT DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ANYONE ELSE.

  • she is beautiful

  • i care so little what M.I.A thinks about political issues....

  • good video 

  • hehehe! her stupidity makes her so fucking cute.

  • shes a lot more stupid than i thought she was.

  • they should get rid of the law or what ever it is and spend their money on the borders from which they are getting in, to drastically decrease the amount of Mexicans coming and either let the ones that are already here stay or go back to their families...

  • @RevivedGuy808 so its okay for people to just freely cross over the border and do whatever the fuck they want?

  • her necklace is 1992....awesome, I was born that year!!

    wonder why she is wearing it?!

  • fukin americans talk about immagrants who the fuk are the ones who came to america and who are the ones who were in california first arizona is just throwing a bitch fit who ever agrees with that bullshit lie is a vitch that hates on ppl that r better than them

  • @ARACARD100 learn to spell plz -.-

  • @deorgang You know what he means douche bag

  • @deorgang You as well, please.

  • @oooRielooo fuck you i know to spell?

  • @RevivedGuy808 I do agree, but the fact that they do, not just mexicans, come and live and send money back untaxed doesn't help america.....and the fact that gay ass mexican president would dare come here and make a speech about american gun control is absurd. i say we invade take over and tax that ass, citizenship by force

  • @camir21 rlly?..........u would have the US invade Mexico, our ally and closest nieghbor, and force citizenship for them...man then we'd be no more worse than the insane mad man we fought in WWII Adolf Hitler when he invaded poland and shit...the world doesn't need another WWII 'Germany'

  • @camir21

    Fuck that, the last thing this country needs is to babysit another broke ass country that can't stand on it's own two feet.
