something felt a little flat during her performance on the Coachella stage Saturday night. At the end of her set, after she went into her hit “Paper Planes,” she actually said she would ask to be “in the tent again.”

Her performance was marked by crazy colors (many in the same scheme as her album “Kala”) on the big screen behind her that was well thought out.

When she started her set, she brought out about five or six dancers who all wore neon colored outfits and went into some entertaining dance routines (some that looked to be out of a Bell Biv Devoe video) while M.I.A. herself wore neon green shades, a police officer type hat and neon on her jeans.

She started off rhyming behind a podium with a bunch of microphones, like she was at a press conference, which threw the crowd in a frenzy. .

But the crowd appeared to lose some interest midway through despite performing material from both her albums until she brought a bunch of fans onstage with her and ended with the crowd pleaser “Paper Planes” before she actually went into the audience to shake hands.
