MIA's born free

<< < (2/9) > >>

Johnny C:
This is pretty much about the Tamils, right?

Eris:
I kinda related it to Palestinians, but with MIA's background,Tamils makes more sense. I guess that is a major difference between this video and Gaga's "edgy" video; there is actually an underlying message to this one, albeit with a slightly hamfisted allegory (is that the right word? I dunno) in it. I can't really think of something serious being commented on in Telephone (other than the obvious illuminati mind control symbols, of course), so I don't think I would have even thought of comparing the two in any way if it hadn't been brought up.

Dunno Gaga is pretty fun to listen to. Then again the only song I've really heard by M.I.A. is Paper Planes.

Johnny C:
They both have jams, though Gaga frequently has no idea how to actually write a song that makes any sense and isn't a jumble of parts all smooshed together.

Don't kid yourself about "Telephone" not having anything substantial behind it because at the very least a dude from Bathory directed it.

That's the thing I found weirdest about it. I would never think to compare the two's music, but the fact that M.I.A. does I find baffling.
