I guess there will never be another Brandy.
Love the video and Love M.I.A.
Video from HYPE seems to be a bit lacking… #jussayin
www ProducedByiQ com
song sucks…cheap ass lookin video, looks like some shit she did herself with her kid holdin the cam ….hmmm expected better from Hype Williams, guess you can only do so much when you’re paid peanuts eh Hype.
Love M.I.A. I like the song..the video looks cheap though.
she really reminds me of my brother’s girlfriend.
M.I.A IS FROM LONDON AND IS ENGLISH/ BRITISH SO YOU BETTER DO LIKE MY NAME AND RECOGNIZE TALENT WHEN YOU SEE IT!
She looks really nice in this vid
Paper planes is really the only song I like by her thus far. She should stick to that lane and leave the pop sexy formula alone. It doesn’t fit her…at least not in the format that has been presented in XXXO.
Boriiiiiiinnnngggg! Nuff said!
These people are so repetitive smh. Every song is about the same thing lol. Every video uses the same imagery. They just throw a bunch of colors in there to mesmerize the simple-minded. “XXX” is equivalent to “666″ according to the doctrine that they adhere to. Numerology is an important aspect of their belief system. I also notice that “Hype” Williams has this woman, “M.I.A”, transfiguring into a leopard to show her Beta programming. The song is about her relationship with her higher power. “He” wants her to change her image and intent to serve him better in influencing the masses. She is a hesitant pawn but enjoys the power that she has through the worship of him. He will “direct” her, which is why she calls him her “Tarantino”, also proving that everything she does is an act.
what was the video concept? myspace comment section?
I love this chick and she looks beautiful in this video!
DAMN SHE GOT THE KINDA LIPPS THAT WOULD MAKE A LOLLY POP REAL HAPPY LOL
she looks good, but the video looks very bootleg
Who would’ve thought this chick would gain so much hype off of one single, “Paper Planes”. The girl is not talented
YAWN @ JUDAH
You really need to get yourself a LIFE!
It is sooo unhealthy to sit and watch others enjoying their life n actually making something of themselves, whilst you watch and analyse everything…trying to gain respect from people that dont even give a s**t about you.
Your gonna a die a old man without achieving NOTHING, because you spent most of your life over analysing situations that are beyond your reach.
You are boring dude, you spew the same ol repetitive bull day in and day out, can’t you see that people aint receptive to your preaching?
What do you think your gonna acheive coming on an entertainment blog giving people sermons about the illuminati? Do you think typing sermons on a blog are strong enough to make people suddenly form a revolt and begin rioting against the system on a worldwide scale? C’mon dude, get a grip! If you want a platform to preach, choose a place where people can HEAR you, bring this sh*t to life, to REALITY! Dont play the cyber saviour on CL, because that in itself shows how weak you are as a person. Anybody can play out fantasies on the web, but it takes a REAL person to say those things you saying in the REAL WORLD, so everyone can see who you really are!
One thing I know for sure is you are a depressive coward that focuses your energies on trying to build a following on here, to boost your self-esteem and make you feel like you are something BIGGER then what you really are. Your place in the real world is miminal, you are merely existing, you aint living. In other words you are GRADE ‘A’ LOSER!
Because you are a unhappy person and dont know how to relax and enjoy life for what it is, dont try to pollute other people’s minds with your opressive, negative bull. Misery truely does love company, sometimes the key to life is simplicity, when you start to over analyse every damn thing thats when unhappiness finds the way into your soul and you burden yourself with things that destroy you. Intelligence is good to an extent, but its when it starts to effect your normal interactions and makes you feel that you can’t relate to people on a level, and you are somewhat above them, well…. thats when you know you have a problem, and you seriously need to re-evaluate your life and make a change.
The video fits her style and personality and shows how pretty she is. Not a huge fan of this track, It Takes a Muscle is still the single to beat on that album, once that drops it’s going to be like Paper Planes all over again.
Woah @ Blkbubba!
I dont think Judah will be comin back wit dat
You shut him down!
M.I.A is hot
and oh—————————————–> I agree with #16, Judah is negative, we dont need to hear that crap.
Follow me @ AmourCuirGaGa !
#16, nice to see a balanced, mentally healthy human being
@ 16
The preaching of the ignorant mind! Youve clearly let this world deceive you just as it was supposed to…smh. Youre the fool they made u out to be, and you gladly take the bow. Fyi..a person can never have enough intelligence.
No use in responding, (which im sure u will anyway lol) because I could care less about what your response is. This is not up for discussion..youre as wrong as an 18 year old that thinks they know it all.
Mul-ti-racial relation-hip is a trend in future, no race gap all over the world!!!
~~（M i x e d M a t c h i n g）【Co0M】~~. a nice place for in-ter-racial singles to interact with each other. No racial dis-crimi-nation here and only with true love. Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends…@love it
preach, blackbubba (#16)
Bought “Maya” It’s tight! Maya and Rated R are the only two albums I’ve bought this year that I can listen to straight through.
@BLKBUBBAWITBLUEEYES
Girl/boy whoever you better stop before his stans come and get you! Xuxa or however you spell their name and the other ones. I see he got a new stan “mocha” already on the case! YESS they better stan for the mighty Judsus! He already got a little following and they were asking him to make a website. I don’t know what he think he doing coming to CL. This site is almost a ghost town as it is.
And I don’t get the hype about her. What does she do that is so great? She sounds like Cassie to me and nobody going crazy over her.
I like this joint. I reminds me of NYC circa 1986…KissFM… ah the memories.
Haha! SMDH. M.I.A. is not bound by labels. Rapper, Singer blah blah blah. She is an artist who portrays what she wants through her music and visuals. The entire album is about the digital revolution. The video was reflecting that as well as the lyrics, XXXO(text/computer talk).
I don’t even take the people who comment Paper Planes was her best seriously. I just laugh and shake my head. Sounds like groupthink to me. What a coincidence you like the ‘popular’ song the most. SMDH.
@JUDAH You are lost dude. You need help. Seriously
I love me some M.I.A. !!
She always does her own thing & the beats are HOT!
Loved it!
@25 Sexless..or whatever, so glad to see you recognize the name, lol. Since my name was brought up, let me give you some advice. You and blue eyed mutant baby “Black Bubba” have already been told off on several occasions by Judah, so kindly go to “recent posts” and scroll down to read his previous comments to you. As for me, keep my name out of your mouth if you don’t know what you’re talking about. and @18 does he have to? lol it’s the rambling of an idiot.
I like this song and her sound is so nice!
Love the remix with Jigga other than that its okay-ish!
song AND video are gar-BAGE IMO, tho she looks beautiful..
I thought the video was DOPE! Kept my attention the whole time so it was good. MIA is pretty cool, and hot!
@BlkBubbaWitBlueeyes I agree 100%… I thank you for that lol
I love M.I.A. and the video was nice
Nice!
love the song
love m.i.a
enough negativity
x
If you read the lyrics and listen it fits perfectly.
About female exploitation, she made a video with the same things people put on their blogs, profiles etc.Trying to glamorize themselves and hiding their individual persona and to keep up with the Joneses on a cyber, and “artistic” level.
And how the “artistic” images are cheap looking. And she made it look pretty cool.
she look absolutely gorgeous never realized how pretty she was – def. couldnt tell the video was made by hype williams – and i like the song, its catchy
@31.
LMAO boy you a STAN and a follower. DEAL WITH IT!
I just wasted 1:26 mins of my life, I wasn’t go to subject myself for further torture my watcging the full 3:06. M.I.A is wrong on so many level’s, she stands as an example for everything that is wrong with the music industry. She can’t sing, she can’t rap, she can’t dance & she has zero stage presence. Because she has no real talent, the only way she make’s headline’s is by bitching about other’s. She straight lame. The video ws simple & bordering on boring, I wldn’t be hyped to watch it again (No pun intended).
