After giving birth to a baby, it’s a given that one will take some well deserved time off. The big question is, will songstress M.I.A. do just that? M.I.A. gave birth to her son last Wednesday just days after performing very pregnant and on her due date at the Grammy’s. And apparently there is no rest for the weary and the popular, she is scheduled to perform at this Sunday’s Oscars.
M.I.A collaborated with the Indian composer AR Rahman on a song nominated for best original song on the soundtrack for Slumdog Millionaire. On M.I.A. performing Rahman said,"She wants to. In fact, she said she'll do it with a hologram. She has all these ideas," he stated in an interview with the BBC. He continued to say, "I don't know how it's going to be possible, though. Having a baby is such an important thing in your life – more important than winning an Oscar." The Oscar producers are very eager to have M.I.A. perform at the award show saying “She's eager to perform... we've said things like 'We're willing to have her enter on a large bed'. We'll make it as easy for her as we can.” Now that I’d like to see. But maybe she’ll just stay home with her newborn son, that’s a pretty sweet prize.
If you were M.I.A. would you perform or stay home?
