      Whether you deem someone a terrorist simply depends on what side you're on & who has the most power at that moment.
      Good for her, for speaking out against what was happening in Sri Lanka, when she did. There really was no international voice at that time, to speak on behalf of Tamil people.

    Saw her live in LA in this era when she was first blowing up on the radio. I've seen hundreds of live shows, including legends like Chuck Berry, Prince, James Brown. This one stands in my memory because I have never witnessed a more unpretentiously joyous LA music show crowd in my life--singing and dancing every word, smiling, and just riding this moment together. Everyone 1000% there for it. No shoegazers. No one on their phone. It was magic.

    Geez, I remember when this vid premiered on MTV just about exactly 10 years ago this time during my Junior year. Although this song was in circulation in Europe, and other countries already prior spring 05', this was pretty much her introduction to the U.S. It premiered I remember on the MTV new artist showcase that they would do like once a week during that particular period. I just initially remember that her style was just so foreign, and different from anything I had seen. The one thing with MYA from the beginning because of her style there wasn't much middle ground in terms of criticism. You either loved her style or you just didn't understand it, and rejected it. I personally was intrigued cause her style was so foreign to me. Over the years since I have just became a bigger and bigger supporter of her work, and her whole style. The thing that use to bug me is that she doesn't get as much credit as she should for being a major trendsetter in the game. I mean from her artwork, style of music, and style of fashion. So many females in the music game has bit her style. I guess copying is the most sincerest form of flattery. This vid brought me back cause this was when I first was introduced to MYA. MYA is one of the few artist for me that influenced a change in thinking, and being open minded to a broader world. Just a longtime avid supporter.

      'pot' aint a very helpful word lulu, pot is an americanised slang, further confusing the situation! The people in this video are speaking 'slang' - a local language/dialect - from the urban areas of london.
      Lulu was talking about cannabis if you didn't know what pot was.
