M.I.A. - Is it Hate or Love?
I can't decide whether or not I hate or love M.I.A. On the one hand, she has invented a totally innovative genre of music that is pretty cool and insane to dance to. On the other, she is the worst diva of all time. This year she has cancelled her European tours; not because of Visa issues or an injury or anything along those lines, but because, wait for it... she's tired and doesn't want to do it. She needs a break from what she says is like 6 months straight of clubbing, so she thinks it's fair to just cancel on her commitments. You're a musician: this is what you are paid to do, suck it up, get on the stage, take naps in the afternoon, whatever, you can figure it out. This is what you signed up for! Every musician goes through the same thing; it is exhausting to perform, but they still go on and do it. It just pisses me off because she totally can get away with it. Her music is so amazing and her show is so energetic that people will keep going to see her no matter what. She was amazing at Sasquatch but I am starting to regret the awesome blue holographic M.I.A. shirt that I purchased. Maybe I'll have to burn it... I'm warning you M.I.A. - if you keep this up you will soon be added to the colostomy bag...
