Janelle Monae

[shawnt]

Anyone else listen to her? Just started listening to her. Love her music.

 

[DIRTYDIANA☆]

I like Janelle Monae..she's talented!!

 

[DuranDuran]

I like Call The Law on the Idlewild soundtrack. It's kinda funny.

 

[mj_brainiac]

I have all her work and I can't wait for the new album

 

[Cinnamon234]

She's talented and unique. I like her.

 

[mistermaxxx]

i like the grace jones, james brown beat poet element to her. now she just needs a upgrade in songs and she could be really onto something. she is cool and with a knockout song or two she could hit big.

 

[kribre7]

I LOVE her.She is so awesome.I just discovered her a week ago.

 

[HumanNatur3]

I just saw her Tightrope video and I loved it!! I thought the video and the song had an Outkast feeling to it then I saw Big Boi! Loved the James Brown esque type of dancing. She can definitely move. The way she moves her legs are crazy!!

 

[mj_brainiac]

The Audition
The Chase

check out these two albums. You all will really enjoy them

 

[Moonwalkman]

Yes she is really interesting for real and I like it!

 

[mjscarousal]

Great artist. She is talented no doubt.

 

[helena22]

Still got to dig a bit deeper into her work to make up my mind on her. I've only heard the Tightrope song so far and it was just a few weeks ago. But I felt, early on, she is def. a quirky artist who wouldn't let her cute face rule her career. Now I'll figure out whether that's her real self or just a disguise to sell. I'm hoping that the former is the case, of course.

You're right Not the kind of female artist whose playground is the core mainstream and that's not something to feel sad about as long as she can do her thing and make a living out of it.

 

[AnnieRUOkay89]

I can't wait long enough for her new album, I love Janelle Monae. Beautiful girl with a uniqueness about her, and makes her stand out above everyone else. Love her moves too, her front moonwalk is epic.

 

[DIRTYDIANA☆]

[Dr.Heat]

[DIRTYDIANA☆]

I have officially become a Janelle Monae STAN..her album is one of the greatest albums of ALL TIME!!!!

 

[DuranDuran]

What's a stan? I don't get into slang, so don't know what it means.

 

[DIRTYDIANA☆]

What's a stan? I don't get into slang, so don't know what it means.

A Stan means that you are a HUGE fan of an artist to the point where you are crazy about them..lol! It comes from Eminem's song "Stan"

 

[Pez]

I love her sample of Rock With You on the new album :wub:

 

[DirtyDiana2000]

I saw her performance of Tightrope on Letterman and I was blown away! I heard the buzz about her and I can't believe I slept her this long. lol I will definitely be getting The ArchAndroid.

 

[xrisx]

I keep hearing her name mentioned, so I'm gonna check her out. So far she sounds very good. (Better than the stuff that is mainstream right now imo)

 

[mjscarousal]

^^^ Yea she is I didnt even know about her myself until like a couple months back. Shes good and she is a good dancer.

 

[DIRTYDIANA☆]

^^She is not great, she is AMAZING!! This woman is probably the most talented female artist of this generation..yeah I said it..She made a BRILLIANT album and she is a HELL of a performer..I can't say that about anyone else..she HAS to be a star!!

 

[Hachi]

Loved her ever since i heard "Many Moons" back in 08'. Cant wait to pick up her new album!

 

[Spin My Ego]

Her album is AMAZING!!! There is something really special with this women. It's almost scary. She got the IT. She reminds me of Michael, but not in the way Usher or Justin Timberlake do. She's not like Michael but she's different. It's the way she talks what she says that reminds of Michael. How she said songs started coming to her in her sleep. In dreams. How she keeps a recorder (i-phone recorder. Sign of the times huh?) next to her at all-times. Cause the songs just come out of no where to her... To me that's something really special when people start saying that.


The ArchAndriod is on the greatest albums of our generation. (imo)
