Personally think that MIA was always overhyped. Her bid for the mainstream with Maya kind of bombed hard. She has one great album so she will probably get in but I dont think she deserves it.

(ps Im happy Kelis's chances are high; so underrated)

She is underrated and more interesting and innovative than Kanye Beyonce and most current rockers

Flipped the bird at the Super Bowl and disappeared.

Why do people seem to think that having one great album means you should be in the RRHOF? Like, does nobody remember how many bands are still not in there with way more than one great album? Frankly who gives a flying leap about MIA? Far better artists to induct who are more important to music as a whole.
