My mind's still turning over MIA's performance at the Grammy's this past Sunday. Prior to seeing her, I had no idea who she was or what she looked like. All I knew was that she was the girl who sings, "Ain't nobody something-something got a swagger like us," first on her own underground smash, then on T.I.'s B-side commercial record, featuring the likes of Kanye West, Lil' Wayne, and Jay-Z.
Some of the fashion critics, not that I pay attention to ANY of them, ripped her for her costume. There's something about this lady, though, nine months pregnant and all, that I find incredibly attractive. Part of me says it's not right --you know, like when good girls go for bad guys. Yet, another part of me understands. Like, maybe I like her because she's so, I guess, hood.
Anyway, her confidence is worthy of applause. And as much as I'm growing tired of the word "swagger," I believe it may be the only appropriate adjective to describe that "something" about her.
