M.I.A. has been confirmed as a performer in the Super Bowl halftime show this upcoming Sunday. She is known for being outspoken, pulling crazy antics, and doing anything she can to get in the headlines. M.I.A.'s ego is bigger than evr, and she loves 'making a scene.' This will not end well.

M.I.A. will wear something stupid.
Usually when female performers wear something 'stupid' and/or 'sexy', they are often called 'fashion icons.' M.I.A. will probably wear something stupid. It will probably involve a controversial image, or maybe something that says, "I Hate America" in a different language or something. Maybe she will wear a print of George W. Bush being executed or something. She could also 'pull out her nip' and show off her brown areolas just 2 be a part of American culture forever. Although she loathes mnstrm American culture, it seems as if she feels particularly validated by her inclusion in Madonna's halftime show.

M.I.A. hates America, and she sees herself as a terrorist.
Although M.I.A. is married to some billionaire heir, she still identifies herself as an 'outsider'/foreigner who the government is trying to censor. In the Super Bowl performance, she will have more eyes on her than ever before. This will be her moment to say 'I HATE U AMERICA.' She will not rely on a backpack bomb, but instead what she believes is a 'truth bomb.' This bomb could be bigger than the #LDRSNL tankjob bomb. But I guess she'll sell even more albums if her bomb leaves a big enough crater on the cultural landscape.

M.I.A. hates censorship.
Without question, M.I.A. is always looking to 'push the boundaries', even though it is usually to propel herself further into the spotlight/focus of cultural discussion on the internet. While sometimes her art has had 'a message', she is primarily a shock artist. There is no way that M.I.A. will let this opportunity pass her by without 'doing something stupid' 'in the name of art.' For all we know, she might blow up a herd of gingers on the field.

M.I.A. isn't actually a good rapper or performer.
Most of M.I.A.'s live performances are defined by heavy music, and her sort of jibbering over the lyrics, prancing around, wearing something stupid. This might not go over well on TV. It would be wise of Madonna to minimize M.I.A.'s role in the performance, and not allow her to deliver any live lyrics. Madonna has to know that this could be the beginning of the end of her career, because M.I.A. will stop at nothing to raise her public profile. The Super Bowl might mean everything to a lamestream Middle American, but M.I.A. has to be salivating at the opportunity to be remembered forever as 'The Brown Girl Who Ruined The Big Football Game', potentially replacing Janet Jackson if she is willing to show nip.

Will u be watching the Super Bowl halftime performance?
Will M.I.A. 'ruin it all'?
Can M.I.A. go lamestream after this performance?
Can u argue that M.I.A. is the first 'indie'/'blog incubated' artist that has performed at the Super Bowl?
Does this performance represent a landmark moment for indie music?
Or does it just prove that M.I.A.'s status as a major label artist/billionaire heir has her hobnobbing with celebs like Madonna?
Will M.I.A. just be 'boring' at the Super Bowl, and she will launch a micro-managed album cycle that is not interesting and ultimately tanks?
