    First.

    OMG. She is very gorgeous. I was surprised to see her nice profile on a celeb dating site with hot pics and videos. It seems called ” Marry Milli onair e.Co m”. Was she dating with a rich man?

  • MojoLuv™

    ya’ll aint even have to post that picture of her lookin like that

  • DC GAL

    WEIRD…just weird ass Hell.

  • Baddest Gurl

    I agree, just weird by default!

  • WESTCOASTLOVE

    I LOVE IT SHES COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN ANYTHING YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM DIDDY ~ HER MUSIC HAS A PUNK ROCK FEEL TO IT WITH HIP HOP ALLOVER IT SHES TIIIIGHT ~ AND THAT LOOK WAS A PART OF HER PERFORMANCE TRUST THAT ~

  • Simply Juicy

    Wow….No Comment

  • rayrayischillin

    I love it. She reminds me of a new school Kelis.

  • Stuff fly people Like.wordpress.com

    Trust me-Janelle is whats-NEXT!!! We Luv her!

  • koolaid

    I always like her stuff! If this was beyonce this post would have 900 posts by now!

  • Hi I’m Lauren, I have a bastard child, I’m from Philly & I’m a Chipmunk ho.

    She’s corny, ugly and will sell NO records. If she manages to sell a few hundred thousand copies she’ll still be a NOBODY by the end of the yr. Bad Boy’s dead!

  • Hi I’m Lauren, I have a bastard child, I’m from Philly & I’m a Chipmunk ho.

    she’s a dyke too! Please!!!!

  • DIAMONDCHEERS

    LOL!! now u know ya’ll could’ve gotten a betta angle

  • Lush-Us Lipps

    WTF is up with her rockin these crazy ass bangs!

  • Prince

    i like dis ish everything don’t have to sound like it was made by the same person like the stuff thats out right now

  • Serafina

    I am so sick of those darn flash freeze poses she’s always in whenever I see a picture of her. I get it, she’s trying to be different, but she looks stupid. It’s gotten old already and she hasn’t even released a full album or one video.

    She’ll def go away, I think, in a matter of months.

    Her sound isn’t so bad. It’s just her outlandish appearance and personality.

    I cannot get those damn poses out of my head.

    she’s dope. show was unreal.

  • Fabulous B$%#h

    A year from now, blogs will still be shouting out “she’s da next big thing” I’ve been seeing this girl for over a year now on everyone’s website and she ain’t even getting no radio play. She’s trying too hard to be too weird and she is not what’s up.

  • Fabulous B$%#h

    And oh yea… whoever compared her to Kelis needs their eyes checked. At least Kelis is pretty and/or supercute with or without makeup + she has sex appeal. But this chick here is ugly with or without the face paint. She has no sex appeal whatsoever going for her and I don’t see how a man or woman could be attracted to her. My opinion.

  • michelle

    OH NO HE DIDNT!!

    My fuk’n husband left his wedding ring home today!!!! IM UPSET!

    (i dont care about this artist by the way)

  • Dominique=Maxwell Fan♥

    She has that Outkast vibe to her music

  • Virgo911..

    Damn Michelle…time break out your “f#ck him girl..f#ck him” dress….

    I dig the song…sounds like Danger Mouse produced the track…she seems cool… but I like artists like M.I.A. & Kelis (just bought Wanderland for the 3rd damn time) that don’t wear “I’m Different” on their foreheads…lol we’ll see about this young lady….

  • sxyQblondie

    SCRATCHING MY HEAD, JUST SCRATCHING MY HEAD

  • beezy

    i don’t see how her sexual orientation has anything to do with this post but on another note i don’t think that she’s trying to be weird; this is just who she is…

    i’ve seen her around my campus doing shows and she actually has talent..

    but of course i don’t like her music because im not the artsy sit down at the coffee shop wanna hear a message in my music type girl.

    i prefer the over commercialized acts like rhianna and beyonce who are the normal pop stars :)

  • Akimbo

    Saw her last night and she was amazing. Her hair didn’t start out like that; it was in a pouf, but she danced so hard that it came undone.

    She’s the truth.

  • Akimbo

    Oh yeah, Diddy (plus Kim Porter) and Big Boi were there holding her down, too.

  • Whateva

    that pic.

  • susie

    emm, u are so sweet.. but i just found out your secret that you have joined the online club S u g a r M i n g l e.c om a, by which you are seeking rich man to be your sugar daddy!

  • huh

    I just hope Puffy doesn’t ruin her style. I’m a little worried. It seems like staying w/Outkast connection would have been a better fit for her. Puffy could ruin anyone’s career. And don’t get me started with him trying to put his voice on everything.

  • Lili

    Puffy is just trying to be a part of the new sound that may be emerging. That’s the only way I can see him not screwing her over like…everyone else. lol

    I wish her much luck signing with him.

    ^Good point. She does seem extra quirky. But if it’s her, then whatever…As long as the music is good I’m with it.

  • Wenzel Dashington

    I don’t know Dawg. Sometimes different is not different. It’s just being an imitation of something different.

    She did her thing. I say she’s going through to the next round.

  • getchamindright

    She sounds like a mix of Amerie and Kelis. If you ask me, she tries too hard. Too gimmicky.

  • 12345

    I was there last night and I felt she was trying too hard to be weird. It was annoying. She was jumping around more than she was singing. Even Puff was looking at her like, ok… you can stop now! She has an average voice as well so the gimmicky, wannabe a female Andre 3000 thing will help her sale records.

  • http://www.fineblend.com Ize a Trini

    she looks like the girl from the cosby show in that pic. doh remember her name but it should be obvious which one.

  • http://burrell.com oosakibrothers

    Yo, this song is mad old. It was released over a year ago.

  • MUSICAL ICON IN THE MAKING

    Absolutely adore Ms. Janelle Monae. Been a fan since “Lettin’ Go”, and it’s just gettin’ crazier. She’s remarkable!

    And you haterz…remember, we all will have to die someday. So put your negative energy elsewhere and learn to smile more. =)

    Long live Janelle Monae and the Wondaland Arts Society!

  • Bill Bigsby

    shes so original.

    i love her style

  • prettygirl for real

    Jane Monae is Big Boi’s artist. Not Diddy. get it stright. She has a myspace page for the facts. Thank YOu

  • Mr. Foxy Brown

    You have to be kidding me. Anybody can get a record deal nowadays. I am going to make me a cd.

  • Questioneer

    wow, gimmicky as hell…the whole weird thing has already been done to death by Gnarls Barkley and even they don’t sell records no more..FLOP

  • Keify

    I love Janelle. I already have her EP..she was selling it independently on Myspace. I love ‘Many Moons’, but y’all need to hear ‘Sincerely Jane’!

  • MUSICAL ICON IN THE MAKING

    Plus she’s gorgeous WITHOUT showing too much skin, like all the carbon copy beyonce wanna-bes out here.

    A true role model!

  • beezy

    @Pretty girl

    ehh, shes signed 2 bad boy with puffy therefor is she “was” big boi’s artist, she definitely isn’t anymore.

    ahem

    you better “google her baby”

  • beezy

    *if

  • http://www.lovelifegodsexmoney.com www.lovelifegodsexmoney.com

    You folks don’t seem to ‘get’ her so she will prolly do quite well.

  • k.k

    i dont kno wat she singing about..great voice luv it..but!!_________?????i dont kno

  • Akimbo

    Actually, beezy, they said at the concert that Bad Boy, Purple Ribbon, and her own label, the Wonderland Arts Society have some weird sort of three-way partnership going on for her.

    I was kind of concerned when I heard that she was going with Bad Boy, but both Diddy and Big Boi got on stage and kind of explained the deal.

  • House Of Bias

    She’s the business. Her clarity, tone and range is exceptional and will keep her on the top when her retrofuturisitc stylee dries up. She’s a talent. Point blank.

    Let’s hope Diddy doesn’t ruin her.

  • Crazy Ass Rodney

    Bamboozled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • african_4_eva

    I LIKED IT. WENT TO HER WEBSITE AND MYSPACE. LOVE THE MUSIC…SHE’S A LITTLE OUT THERE—WELL, WAAAYY OUT THERE—BUT OVERALL, I’M FEELING HER MUSIC.

    KINDA LIKE ANDRE 3000, EVERY PART OF HIM IS WAAAAYYYY OUT THERE IN THE COSMOS BUT THAT’S HIM AND HE MAKES GREAT MUSIC!

    GON’ ‘HEAD JANELLE!

  • Southern Swag

    I don’t know about this one. I mean she has a very strong voice but I listen to the song twice and I just can’t get with it maybe I have to hear another song of her’s but this one I don’t like it.

  • supaNOVI400

    Janelle Monae has own recording label, the Wondaland Arts Society. She co-founded it last year. this is a partnership with Badboy.

    I love Janelle monae and i am sure if she didn’t believe in what she was doing she wouldn’t be doing it. if she is a gimmick, Beyonce is one, Jay-Z is one, Rihanna really is one (Good girl gone bad) WTF. Fall back slaves!

  • Renee’

    She reminds me of a female version of andre 3000 and the music is one flew over the cookoos nest! lol.I don’t like it!!! Nope Not at all!!!!That’s for people who go on exstacy trips frequently!

  • Zina {The original princess}

    12345, 678910, 11 12. That’s all I can think of. Was that School House Rock or something???

  • http://snarkyblackchicks.blogspot.com Trouble

    it was like a mix between the pinball number song, Gnarls Barkley and a Andre 3000 impersonator. her voice isn’t bad but the song was gimmicky and if she’s talented it sure doesn’t showcase that

  • Danibaje

    why does she sound like she’s singing a sesame street song?

  • jena4rmthablock

    there are a lot of comments on here saying “she’s ugly, she’s trying to hard to be weird” and all this other dumb azz shyte!

    If you slow mo Beeshes would get off of these overly marketed under talented artists and actually payed attention to what makes an artist a true artist such as things like…uh maybe…talent and strong lyrics, just maybe you’ll have something called a brain,

    i swear stupid people flood the market. On the stock market today intelligence just plummeted!

  • jena4rmthablock

    P.S. listen to “Sincerely Jane” and you will see her talent burn like a million suns

  • oh please

    This is really great thanks

  • scrappy

    all you ignorant ass haters don’t know this girl gets down like JAMES BROWN

  • London boi

    If u didnt get her then you dont know music,For those who did y’all need to check out some of her other stuff,This chick is the fiyah!

    Ps She’s won my heart.

  • t

    Has it ever occurred to some of ya’ll that she doesn’t want to be mainstream.Some people don’t want to do huge concerts and all the endorsement deals and whatnot.So, it is actually unfair to compare her to beyonce and rhianna because those girls are mainstream.To tell you truth, i actually like her more because she’s not mainstream.And, if she wanted to take that route she can because she’s not an ugly girl and she has a nice figure.She chose not to do that because she is more than tits and ass.

  • Alienw/EarsthatHEar

    Janelle is an amazing artist who lures us into another galaxy and there are some who are too narrowminded to see the opening of the rabbit hole and thats fine. But I completely disagree with trying to categorize her with these mainstream artists who have replaced their passion for money… its nauseating.Janelle is a breath of fresh air and I enjoy her clean emissions.

  • Luna

    Bet all y’all bishes feel stoopid. She hittttting the charts. LOVE IT.

  • Charisse

    Lmao @ some of these comments… saying that shell flop. Well well well…here we are in 2011…and she is doin well. Love all her music. She has toured all over the world and has sold out many of shows. Now, don’t you ppl feel stupid. Janelle monae is a talented artist with a refreshing sound. Listening to her as I post this..and I love her!!!!
