I'm loving it already, some might remember it from the Vicki Leekx mixtape!

Forgiven MIA have you?

Quite like it on the first listen. I love M.I.A., her music's always so inventive even if she is a bit crazy.

M.I.A. is a lot more original than GaGa in a way. She uses her songs most of the time to get across messages and points of view etc, they have political meanings. Are there any in all of Gaga's songs? I agree Lady gaga doesn't make videos of her trying to win over a boy anymore. But still M.I.A. has more sense and originality in her songs etc

Big day for M.I.A.! Not only is she featured in the new Madonna song/video but she's just released her own (very good) video for Bad Girls. I like the song a lot more with the video.

The song and video are both very good.

I love the video - Arab Hip-Hop!

Amazing video. MIA is hit and miss a bit too often looking back at her albums, but this deserves to be huge. She hasn't topped Arular, IMO.

Loving this track at the moment. Been a fan of M.I.A throughout but I think she's hit a career peak with this track. The video is brilliant one of the best I've seen in years (must have cost shiit loads tho!)

I think this could be the first big song of 2012 and bigger than Paper Planes for M.I.A.

Arabic Crunk - only M.I.A could even think of pulling that off!

The song has grown on me a lot! It's actually become my 2nd favorite M.I.A. track, behind 'Bucky Done Gun', which was too brilliant, she's yet to top it imo, but her upcoming album might be surprising

I think that when it comes to commercial success, she reached her peak with 'Paper Planes'. I love the new track, but I don't think it's commercial enough to become bigger than 'PP', even though I think 'Bad Girls' is a much stronger track

Dunno it's already number 2 in Vevo video charts and has 8 million views on youtube! The song has a killer riff throughout too. Not sure how well it will translate to radio but on the video alone it could blow-up for her.

I think it's one of her best tracks and Danja nailed the production, but I don't think it will be well received on radio unfortunately. Radio programmers want formulaic material and 'Bad Girls' is a mixture of many non-mainstream elements. It can't really fit in on urban radio or pop radio, maybe just some rhythmic airplay, but that's all. I wish YouTube views could translate into charts success, but sadly they don't. Take 'Stupid Hoe' for example. It broke a record for getting 5 million views in 24h, but it's underperforming, if not flopping, despite the buzz...

Anyway, I'm sure M.I.A. doesn't care THAT much about singles sales. She's getting some great buzz, so her album will get some attention and that's what counts at the end of the day

It really is cool isnt it. Its such a cool song and vid. The whole drifting, arab thing is really good. The setting, and the visuals, just really entertaining. MIA isnt someone I usually like, apart from Paper Planes, but this is super good imo.

Stupid Hoe is a rubbish song though.

I agree with a lot of the sounds on this track are non-commercial but it has a killer riff and thumping base line which could make it a hit on the club scene. Obviously I don't see being played much on commercial radio but I still got a feeling this might blow up for her. Certainly top 10 hit and a possible transatlantic number 1 I feel.
