Rihanna Covers M.I.A.
So, what's up guys? How's it going? We ask because we are bored care. The internet is so bad at being the internet today. But we are trying and casting a wide net (reading TMZ) and we are learning. For instance! Rihanna has been nibbling on Chris Brown's drumsticks at KFC. But wait, there's more. And it's more up our collective alley: When the reigning queen of most covered song of '07 starts paying it forward, and that forward paying involves M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes," and that "Paper Planes" involves full-on mimed gunshots by the Barbadian beauty like she just doesn't care, it stands as proof that Rihanna and you-dancing-in-the-mirror-before-going-out have at least one thing in common.
That came from a recent stop on Kanye's Glow In The Dark tour. We give it a B+.

M.I.A.'s awesome, and I have nothing against Rihanna, but since when did singing karaoke constitute a cover?
Score = 9
I was at the Tampa show and my girl and I went nuts when she started playing that cover. The quality on that video is crap though, she sounded a lot better in person.
Score = -3
I hope ur right, cuz that didnt sound good at all. M.I.A.= good. Rihanna= good...for dancing.
Rihanna covering MIA? eeh. not so much.
Score = 3
rihanna sucks and from what i've heard from people in the biz she's a total diva and bitch to work with.
Score = 2
"Umbrealla" was a great track...otherwise she kinda bores me. Nice find though.
Score = 1
Wow... she has no stage presence whatsoever.
Score = 4

Score = 0
rihanna is no different than britney 8 years ago. she didn't write or co write a single song on her latest huge album
big money music game is just a pimp game
Score = 2
stage presence I can't really judge on, but based on looks I'm going to go with M.I.A. That's all that really matters at this level right?
Score = 1

Score = 2
*wonders if Rihanna has ever heard of The Clash.*
Score = 2

I just saw M.I.A. in chicago on friday and shes AMAZING
Rihanna, hell no

I think Rihanna peaked when she covered herself, with help from the Klaxons. I actually liked that. This? Meh.
Score = 0
What I'm wondering is how someone managed to smuggle a camera in there? I thought Crybaby Kanye barred them?
