She’s such an incredible performer. She’s much better than Kanye West in my opinion. If M.I.A. comes around the Capital District to perform a show around here one day, definitely count me there!
I’ll be on the lookout for the Cure at Coachella when they hit the stage today.

Finally found a video of M.I.A. at Coachella performing her hit song “Paper Planes”…amazing…just amazing…phenomenal performance but wish there was a video in higher quality.

M.I.A. a rapper from London, England agreed to fly all the way to Coachella in California to perform her set. What a great woman she really is. She invited a bunch of fans from the audience to dance with her on stage at the end of her set. How cool is that? This is one of the reasons why I love her, she has a good heart and shows a lot of passion in what she does.
Her songs maybe simple and sampled, but at least her music is more fun to listen to than any other pop and rap artists out there. She’s so great. I think I’ll definitely pick up her latest CD next time I go to Best Buy.
This is the only video of MIA at Coachella 2009 I could find in youtube, but I’m sure there will be more of her performances going up today, I hope.

As expected Sir Paul played a bunch of Beatles songs, all the songs from his new “Fireman” album, and he played covers of other bands songs as well.
Other celebrities attended the event to see the show for fun, celebrities spotted in the VIP area: Robert Pattison, Kirsten Dunst, Kate Bosworth, “Weird Al” Yankovic, etc.

Wow!!!! What a killer lineup!! Better than last years!!! Sir Paul will probably perform a bunch of Beatles songs and his solo stuff. Hope Amy Winehouse is clean enough to perform so she won’t suck, I have a feeling she will, that woman needs to stop performing. I wonder why the Coachella booking agents would want to book a drug addict to the Festival anyways when fans will probably boo her off the stage.
Seeing Leonard Cohen’s gotta be amazing. Cool show, wish I could be there.
