You couldn't pay me enough to listen to her album. She's cute and all, but her music? No thanks!

i dont understand why she is so popular.  with indie being the new mainstream are hipsters beginning to "discover" more worldly type music?

Is she really all that "popular" could you provide a comparison for context?  She's buzz worthy, but popular might be a stretch.
 
 She's also someone you have to see live to "get it."  If you don't like to shake your ass, it'll still be a mystery...but I defy you to show up at one of her gigs and NOT shake your ass.

i simply adore her. and was hooked from the moment i first heard '10 dollar' a couple years ago.
 
 and she still makes me want a hype girl.

popular, buzzworthy, doing the summer festival scene, reviewed in major magazines and web sites...in that context i suppose.

Sweetcell left her Lolla show after 10 minutes, unable to take it anymore.
 
 I see a discrepancy in opinion here.

well, i basically have a hype dog... so why can't i have a hype girl too?

[beetsnotbeats]

I like to shake my mind's ass sometimes and MIA doesn't fail.

Not too shabby...but I think I prefer Arular.  Thankfully she did away with the pointless skits, but Kala seems a little less direct to me.  The beats are more to the forefront on Arular.

this also reminds me to keep looking for the 'HOW MANY HOW MANY' shirt. they had it at virgin festival saturday and then when i decided to get it early sunday it was already gone... which surprised me that it sold out before she even performed. boo.

[nkotb]
