Pregnant M.I.A. to perform at Grammys

M.I.A. slated to perform, give birth during Grammys
The very pregnant singer, who is up for this year’s record of the year Grammy, is scheduled to deliver her little one on the same night she’ll be performing at the awards ceremony. Still, M.I.A. isn’t canceling her set. Should her water break on stage, a golf cart will be on hand to shuttle her out of Staples Center.
M.I.A. has been nominated in the category of record of the year for Paper Planes which became hugely popular last year after appearing on the Pineapple Express soundtrack as well as remixed versions in this years darling, Slumdog Millionaire.

Slumdog M.I.A.

One doesn’t have to get deep into Danny Boyle’s “Slumdog Millionaire” to sample some of the kinetic music that drives it. Close to 10 minutes into the film, there’s a rush of rhythms — the sound, perhaps, of animals scurrying around an alley.
Vocals don’t cut in until around the halfway mark, but when they do, they capture someone on the run. It’s the voice of worldly electronic artist M.I.A.
The soundtrack to “Slumdog Millionaire” will mark the first release on M.I.A.’s Interscope label, N.E.E.T. In 2009.
