This is the sign of the apocalypse. How the hell is MIA the best at anything? It’s like listening to cats getting their whiskers pulled…..

You need to chill out. MIA is amazing, a breath of fresh air.

This is to Noah :

Suck balls.

I’d rather listen to the sound of Noah’s balls being sucked, than to M.I.A.

Only three songs are nominated, and two of them are from the SAME FILM?!?!? Let’s just do away with the best song category all together.

M.I.A. and A. R. Rahman! I love the song O Saya. It’s a different appealing choice for oscar nominations!

MIA you rock, hope you come back to San Diego.

i’d rather be forced to suck noah’s balls, have some bootleg that recording, and then be locked in a room and have it played on repeat for eternity then listen to MIA. she is awful.

she’s a rapper? compared to Rakim, Guru, Chuck D or Jadakiss? what a joke.

she is brutal…she calls herself a rapper? than what is Chuck D, Rakim or Jadakiss?

what a joke…

MIA is the best music artist of this decade, hope she wins.

I know eh. I agree it’s just genius she’s never bothered defining what her sound is, and it always sounds fresh.

It reminds me when Jon Stewart was hosting and he said something like: “Let’s do a recount: Three-Six Mafia, one Oscar. Martin Scorsese, cero Oscars.” I agree with the person who said they should just get rid of this category.

F you guys. M.I.A. is truly amazing. She is different, and out there, and great at what she does. Get it ? Good.

M.I.A. is truly talented and accomplished. It’s no surprise she is being recognized for her work. Can any of the loudmouths here claim the same?

Did you know that M.I.A is a terrorist sympathiser? M.I.A says that she has been given a responsibility and a platform to discuss Sri Lankan Tamil problem but she never condemns terrorist acts LTTE has done for last 25 years. LTTE is one of the most ruthless terror outfits banned by USA, UK, Canada, India and other major countries. LTTE, has killed respected Sri Lankan Tamil leaders and scholars such as Thiruchelvam, Kadirgamar, Amirthalingam, etc, because they were not extremists. They have killed Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Sri Lankan Precedent R Premadasa. They killed 70000 plus innocent children, women, religious leaders and media personnel. They stabbed 43 buddhist monks to death in a bus by using swords and knives. They have killed hundreds of children in East region and hung in to coconut palms. They recruit children as young as 12 years to fight the war, as UN has outlined. They have killed Rajini Thiranagama, a leading Tamil writer and human rights advocate for her balanced opinions. They have linked up with terror outfits such as Al-Qaeda and created a global network of terror. Justifiably, USA banned this terror outfit (please do not tell me that CIA was duped!). When Sri Lankan government started liberating Tamil people oppressed by LTTE terrorists, Tamils living in USA such as M.I.A want to protest. After 25 years of gloom, Tamils in liberated areas are starting to see the light. Terror supporters live in USA must understand that they are part of the problem that frankly take their own Tamil generations live in Sri Lanka back to stone age. Keep in mind, majority of Tamil population now live in Colombo, together with Singhala majority. True sometimes they have to go through security procedures like in any other country with terror threats to avoid killing of innocent people, including Tamils. If you want to spend some energy on helping Tamils, please return to Sri Lanka, if you do not like the poverty conditions in north, live with Singhalese in south. US will never support your cause. India will never pardon your terror outfit who killed Rajiv Gandhi. As an “artist” M.I.A should be reasonable, should not be trying to paint a distorted picture. To the democratic world who fight terrorism, M.I.A may appear as a savior for terror mafia LTTE.

samlank, your such an ignorant prick. did you also know that Sri Lankan government is systematically killing off Tamils. Not to mention bombing Red Cross and UN aid offices. They also use internationally banned cluster bombs and on of all places a hospital where, 94 children were killed in one day. Sri Lanka refused a ceasefire put forth by the international community, so I suppose if MIA sympathized for the Sri Lankan government she would be right? get outta here with your Sri Lankan propaganda. MIA has never said she supported the LTTE and has even said she would be offended by such comment on the Tavis Smiley interview. so SamLank, if you are just hating then go on right ahead but dont spew facts like you know whats going on.
