M.I.A.

• Rating

After following M.I.A for a few years I was very excited about going to see her live. Even though I adore the albums I still didn't know what to expect because I wasn't sure whether she was going to be able to create the same music to the same quality on stage. Well she certainly didn't let me and the crowd down! After exploding onto the stage with illygirl - a bonus track on her new album. We experienced a mixture of M.I.A old and new. From her crowd surfing ( yes I touched her!! ) to her getting the crowd on stage to dance, and even to her dishing out tekqilla she was bloody amazing! So entertaining and noone could possibly keep still to the crazy beats and catchy bangra inspired vocals. Even my fiancé who is normally a heavy metal fan was dancing! I cannot rate her high enough. She had such a high level of crowd interaction and it was definately more of a show, than just a gig. From the strobe lighting to the dancers, every inch of the performance was planned out to entertain. M.I.A aka Maya - you did me very proud girl!
