News Image 38996 - Lankan rapper to perform at Grammys

The Recording Academy announced yesterday that British/Sri Lankan raptress M.I.A., whose `08 anthem `Paper Planes` is up for Record of the Year, will be performing at this Sunday`s ceremony. She may, however, want to bring along a few clean blankets, sanitized water, and an EMT: Her first child is due that same day. `They say that you`re often late the first time, so I`m planning to go` to the show, she told USA Today. `We`ll see. People are trying to get me to relax and focus on the baby. It`s like being in parallel universes.`
She won`t be the first nominated lady to show up heavily pregnant to an awards show: A nearly-spherical Catherine Zeta Jones had to pass on performing an athletic number from Best Picture champ Chicago at the 2003 Oscars, though she still went on to win the prize (`my hormones are just way too out of control to be dealing with this,` she laughed in her giddy acceptance speech), while Nelly Furtado was with-bump -- and up for two major prizes -- at last year`s Grammys (alas, she went home empty-handed).
The competition in M.I.A.`s category is stiff (and, coincidentally, almost entirely British as well) -- Coldplay, Leona Lewis, Adele, and Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. If she fails to nab the little golden grammaphone, however, she`s still got a pretty sweet consolation prize coming.

Eltham,
You are right, I never heard this girl in Australia. Only Mr. Brown's obsession with her made me aware of her existence.
But you know Tamils, they are very proud of their international achievements...wink! |
