Posted by Bossip Staff
Here is Diddy’s newest artist Janelle Monae’s debut single “Many Moons”. She performed last night at the Key Club in Hollyweird and we hear she gave quite the performance. Check it out below:

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?
ya’ll aint even have to post that picture of her lookin like that
WEIRD…just weird ***** Hell.
I agree, just weird by default!
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 ~
Wow….No Comment
I love it. She reminds me of a new school Kelis.
Trust me-Janelle is whats-NEXT!!! We Luv her!
I always like her stuff! If this was beyonce this post would have 900 posts by now!
She’s corny, ugly and will sell NO records. If she manages to sell a few hundred thousand copies she’ll still be a *****ODY by the end of the yr. Bad Boy’s dead!
she’s a dyke too! Please!!!!
LOL!! now u know ya’ll could’ve gotten a betta angle
WTF is up with her rockin these crazy ***** bangs!
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
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.
TO ALL U HATING *****, COMMERCIALIZED *****ES………SHE CAN ACTUALLY SING…..SHE MIGHT NOT LOOK LIKE BEYONCE OR NON SINGING ***** ASHANTI…..BUT SHE GOT SKILLS…..*****IN HATERS…..
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.
this weird ***** is gettin on my nerves. I wish she would go away, her desperate attempt at being different is failing miserably. She always posed in a *****’d up oosition and she always looking stupid or surprised. SHes actually scary, i showed her pic to my 2yr old neighbor and she started crying….
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.
OH NO HE DIDNT!!
My *****’n husband left his wedding ring home today!!!! IM UPSET!
(i dont care about this artist by the way)
She has that Outkast vibe to her music
She’s very talented and quite an entertainer. She’s is what is new and different and it’s about time to bring in something fresh.
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….
SCRATCHING MY HEAD, JUST SCRATCHING MY HEAD
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
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.
Oh yeah, Diddy (plus Kim Porter) and Big Boi were there holding her down, too.
that pic.
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!
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.
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.
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.
she’s *****in’ weird.
not sure if it’s good weird or bad weird yet. it’s definitely awkward weird though.
she’s like the black female version of devo.
i like the way the song sounds, though.
It is interesting!!! Even better than the sexy models’ videos I saw on ~~T A L L H U B . C O M ~ where many tall models, tall players, tall admirers hanging out!!
She sounds like a mix of Amerie and Kelis. If you ask me, she tries too hard. Too gimmicky.
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.
she looks like the girl from the cosby show in that pic. doh remember her name but it should be obvious which one.
Yo, this song is mad old. It was released over a year ago.
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!
shes so original.
i love her style
Jane Monae is Big Boi’s artist. Not Diddy. get it stright. She has a my*****e page for the facts. Thank YOu
You have to be kidding me. Anybody can get a record deal nowadays. I am going to make me a cd.
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
yes thanx bossip, always ahead of the times, I knew her voice was familiar, she did some songs off of Idle wild, she was Paula Patton’s singing voice, very talented!
I love Janelle. I already have her EP..she was selling it independently on My*****e. I love ‘Many Moons’, but y’all need to hear ‘Sincerely Jane’!
Plus she’s gorgeous WITHOUT showing too much skin, like all the carbon copy beyonce wanna-bes out here.
A true role model!
@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”
*if
You folks don’t seem to ‘get’ her so she will prolly do quite well.
I WAS THERE LAST NIGHT AND WE WERE WONDERIN IF BOSSIP WAS IN DA HOUSE AND YA’LL WERE! U GUYS ARE EVERYWHERE! LUV…IT!!!
i dont kno wat she singing about..great voice luv it..but!!_________?????i dont kno
I like her she is really different. She seems like the female version of Angre 3000. Oh and why are so many people hatin on her soo hard …..I mean damn I understand some of yall dont like her(and yall have every right not to like her) BUT GOT-DAMN yall *****s are harsh as *****!!!
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.
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.
Bamboozled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LIKED IT. WENT TO HER WEBSITE AND MY*****E. 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!
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.
THANKS FOR RECOGNIZING HER BOSSIP, I LOVED HER EP AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO SEE REAL TALENT GER RECOGNITION. TIRED OF HEARING THE SAME WATERED DOWN BULLSHYT ON THE RADIO ALL THE TIME….
AND FOR THOSE WHO DONT GET IT IT WASNT MEANT FOR YOU…
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!
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!
12345, 678910, 11 12. That’s all I can think of. Was that School House Rock or something???
To Lauren – If you don’t like her music, then fine. But why did you have to make that nasty remark about her sexuality? You don’t know whether or not she’s a lesbian. And if she is, that’s none of your business. And it’s not your place to make something like that public. I am a gay man and I was deeply offended by your comment. What you said was ignorant and people like you are the reason there’s so much hate in the world.
To the folks at Bossip, something needs to be done about the intolerance here. It’s one thing to have an opinion. But there’s no excuse to allow the spread of hatred.
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
why does she sound like she’s singing a sesame street song?
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!
P.S. listen to “Sincerely Jane” and you will see her talent burn like a million suns
This is really great thanks
That isn’t a bad picture of her. I guess bossip readers want to call everyone ugly and scary if they aren’t wearing a lace-front like Beyonce. You people are disgusting.
all you ignorant ***** haters don’t know this girl gets down like JAMES BROWN
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.
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 ***** and *****.
If you don’t like Janelle Monae then why the hell you posting bull-***** comments that no one cares about. Some of y’all ain’t nothing but a bunch of narrow minded, no imagination having, baby drinkers that need to get out more. She’s a fresh new sound, and you don’t have to like it. But don’t post disrespectful comments about her up just because you don’t like her. Some of you *****’ *****ers need to hear music that actually has creativity; Let alone some of you hoes that listen to bull***** and call it a hit. and to that ***** Lauren, (scroll down you find her *****.) how the ***** you know she a dyke? ***** please, Janelle ain’t a ***** so keep her out your mouth trick! <-) some people ain’t nothing but a bunch of busters and think folks give a damn what they have to say!
I love Janelle Monae’s sound. It’s something reminiscent of Sly and the family Stone, Parliament, Andre 3000 or Grace Jones.
If you silly, hatin’ ***** young’uns would expand your mind beyond the bul***** on the radio, you would be able to appreciate the direction that music is starting to go in.
