Fun factoids about Coachella:

• Even though the festival site looks like a barren desert, the grounds are somehow dubbed the Empire Polo Club.

• Goldenvoice, the company organizing the event, also runs All Points West festival.

2. M.I.A. (aka Pregosaurus)

3. Lil’ Wayne

4. Kanye

5. T.I.

If this performance didn’t do it for you, feel free to leave your Grammy babe power rankings as well (#1 Carrie Underwood, #2 Gywneth Paltrow, #3 Katy Perry, #399 Adele).
