  • she's truly awesome!!!

  • E' MERAVIGLIOSAMENTE CONTAGIOSA!!!!

  • where can i buy this???

  • I love this song!!! Janelle Monae is a true artist :) I love herrrrr!

  • She came straight from heaven

  • @acemist1231 AGrEE... nothin else to say!!!

  • Yup. Janelle rocks.

  • My God this girl is gorgeous. And what an incredible talent too. No wonder there are so many ugly, talentless people roaming the Earth -- God didn't have enough talent and looks to go around after He made this one.

  • @DroverChicago L0oOO0Lzz... True

  • i really dont know why youtube even put a dislike button on Janelle Monáe songs

  • One of the most beautiful and talented women in the biz.

  • i agree with the below comments. her black and white tux keeps her from being a "distraction". kinda like how nuns wear those robes. gotta cover up the goods so they can hear the message.

    unlike some "artists" who only have T&A with no brains.

  • Now I know why she only wears black and white! When she does wear other colors, she just does TOO much! Love your black and white tuxedo look Janelle and I truly love your music!

  • I love & respect her current more conservative look but her legs are killer (and she knows it)! As is the rest of her; it was an intelligent creative move because it's too easy to get distracted by her amazing physique. Big up and support great music and musicians.

  • My favorite nothing is a good song because its uptempo is great though it is true that the state of music today is dull and boring!!!! but Janelle Monae's musie connects to many genre of music!!

  • jam!

  • I like! What album is this on?

  • @lilbuffaloe The Audition. Its an unreleased album but you can find it on the net.

  • I like this song~, the lyrics~.

    Lol, I feel like it's the responce to "whatever" by Gnarls Barkley. ||DD

  • she's very pretty !

  • janelle rocks <3

    and its sooo seldom to have niveau in youtube comments and nothing about rebecca black or justin bieber =)

  • the people who hate this song would ahve a very slow and misersable death. VERY SLOWLY!!!!!!!!!

  • Amazing talent. She still is not getting enough exposure in the UK. They are force feeding us dead stock non ladylike GaGa.

  • she's hot, talented and.....hot

  • I AM IN LOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE

  • Janelle Monet is fine, i dont care what anyone says.

  • Outkast rhythm, hey ya beat

  • the beat kinda reminds me of something outcast would use... Man this girl is BADASS!!!!

  • you know what, I'd totally like to hear her collab with Patrick Stump... a guy can dream can't he?

  • I *love* the bridge(?) 1:29 where she sings, "See I've been hurt too many times before...."

    Janelle Monae is too damn cool for her own good! Can't wait for her next release.

  • love her!

  • love here!

  • My favorite things (Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein) / My favorite nothing.. hm.. now I don't know what is my favorite song T_T

  • Is it my imagination, or does she sound like Chrisette Michelle?

  • @yahchilyah ahhhh...no lol

  • @sonicravenxx Thanks, I thought it was my imagination. Been listening to too much C.M. (lol)

  • @yahchilyah though they sound similar,but chrisette is the LAT person that comes to mind when i think of janelle

  • great song.

    She looks much cuter with the natural afro =)

  • @arubeato I like her afro too, but the pompadour is so sassy and awesome

  • Great song!

  • ...love her voice...

  • and two other people are just copycats...

  • ya'll need to check out Janelle Monae Cold War Remix by Nuff-Sed! crazy beat!

  • her & sa-roc shud collaborate!

  • GENIUS .

  • LISTEN 2 DIS EVERY DAY!!!

  • How Come I Didnt Know About Her Before ?! Ugh ! , I LOVE Her , And This Song = )

  • im feeling this =D

  • I LOVE THIS SO MUCH...I THINK THAT EVERY FEMALE GOES THROUGH AT LEAST ONE RELATIONSHIP WHERE THEY LOOK AT LOVE BLINDLY AND JUST NOT APPRECIATE IT..MAYBE BECAUSE OF IGNORANCE OR FOR WHATEVER REASON AND THEN LATER DOWN THE LINE ITS LIKE DANG I REALLY HAD SOMEONE THAT LOVED ME AND I MESSED IT OVER!! BUT YOU LIVE AND YOU LEARN...ANYHOOO SHE SANG THIS SONG SO GREAT AND I LOVE IT.

  • she fine as hell!

  • @diamondandcharles lol! she is very pretty! I had the chance to see her at the Westend Mall here in the ATL. She did'nt have herself made up with the hair and make up. She was very pretty with no make up or anything!!

  • Janelle is the protege of Outcast: check the Tightrope vid, not only does it feature Big Boi, but 3000 is in there too. Love love this very much.

  • @emmzy81 correction, 3000 is not in the Tightrope video. That is her guitarist Keliendo (sp?). Alot of people get them two confused cause they look alike. Dont want to sounds like a DBag.

  • @scfinestbb lol my mistake then I guess... Kellindo does look like 3000s' twin.

  • I can't believe such an amzing artist has been kept out of mainstream media. If it wasn't for YT I wouldn't know about her. So sad.....I love her, I love her style and her mind!

  • Amazing girl

  • this song takes you on a fun ride!! that's what I like about her songs; they can be fun and uptempo and have great/real lyrics and I came across her music when I was really dissatisfied with the state of music, and how dull and boring music had became...she saved contemporary music for me, brought the excitement back!

  • I love the fact that she has natural hair and wears it so well. I wish I had the guts to go natural.

  • @mslissa22 Go for it! Be you and show it off. To hell with everyone else and that 'creamy crack' (relaxer). If she and a whole bunch of us can do it...why not you if you want to?

  • 4 ppl just wasted 4mins and 2secs of their Meaningless Uninspiring lives!!

  • i love this song!!! where can i find it???

  • Why are those 4 people who didnt like the song vote dislike dont listen if you dont want to hear her go to a weaker song

  • @angierif Ahh man let ppl have there opinions that's what the disslike buttons there for this song is slamming though

  • @ugliguy thanks I will and just got mine too

  • Comment removed

  • @netmatrix Big Boi produces a few of her songs so that's probably why you're hearing his influence

  • The beat reminds me a little of Outkast. But she is a good singer.

  • fyi: it's a pompadour....not a fro-hawk....in case anyone was wondering

  • @versatilethearcane hers is specifically the "monae" ..for obvious reasons lol

  • Wow, I haven't heard a song from her I haven't liked! Janelle is amazing!

  • "Y0U SEE, I'VE BEEN HURT SO MANY TIMES....I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE GONNA HURT ME TOO!!" WOW, THAT IS A GREAT LINE!!

  • Now it's FOUR fools !!!!

  • Please write me, soulfulbohemian, I NEED this album!!!!!!!

  • WHere is the underground copy of The Audition....I need them tracks CLAP CLAP CLAP!!!

  • SENSATIONAL VOICE , SENSATIONAL LOOKING !!

  • Thank You Soulbohemain for introducing me to Janelle When i seen her do Prince song on the awards song I misjudged her i thought she was silly,But as I listen to her music iam in love with her and her music,Iam going to put all my friends on to her.I heard of her but i didn't know of her talent Thanks for exposing her to me!!!!

  • @lakeside321

    ........... this woman is amazing, great voice and can really dance , and the best quality....she has the SOULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!

  • :42 sexy

  • she sounds like Jazmine Sullivan when she'z in those lower registers

  • @SIRGAGA123 agreed

  • thank U soulfulbohemian, because it was U who helped me to discover Monae almost exactly 2 years ago!!!!

  • I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG, BUT LISTENING BACK I CAN HEAR SOME TIGHTROPE, LOLL

  • This girl must be the object of every man's desire & women's. She's versatile, beautiful, talented, intelligent, down to earth. I know there is a God. Hallelujah

  • luvs this chick

  • I went to school with her i always knew she was going to be famous:)

  • I think I'm likin her afro more than her fro-hawk thing she does now.

  • this is my favorite song by Janelle...she is a true classic/classy lady!!! Many artist need to take notes from her!!!

  • @Tam92890 i know right... even the Hoe thats calls herself a Queen.. (beyonce) ha! she has nothing on Janelle.

  • @Tam92890 I'don't know , her new cd archandroid has some GREAT songs

  • It is an alright Song!

  • what album is this song off?

  • @MuchosAmor the audition

  • She rocks, she is good, en this song is amazing.

  • Love this song! I keep having to come back and listen to it on YouTube b/c I can't find it to buy anywhere! DX What's the deal??? Anybody know where to get a LEGAL copy of this song? Or her album "The Audition"? Her 2 newer albums are on iTunes and Amazon, but I can't find this one at all. :( Makes me sad b/c I LOVE this song! Need it in my life!!

  • @sakuyamasaki the audition wasn't released unfortunaly it was a grabber that she made bak when she was 17 in new york

  • She's adorable!

  • D***, She's Good.

  • ohh that song is hotttt !!!

  • two people made a mistake and hit the "dislike" button....

  • 4 people are trapped inside the matrix (of music)

  • I really support her! Spread the word to your friends by forums fb twitter!

  • i think she shoulda kept her hair like that o.o

  • @gamersduck, you mean in the first pik? ya me too

  • it's funny I heard of her when I was watching the "Many Moons" video; I couldn't understand the words of the song. She sounded like she was rambling so I moved on but that latest song "Tightrope" I love it. I guess I wasn't ready for her in the beginning. Your mind open to new things with time and it Janelle's time, take flight girl your fanbase is blowing up

  • SHE IS A SUPERFLY, SUPERBAD, FUNKALISCIOUS, JAZZADELIC , BEAUTIFUL SUPER QUEEN OF MUSIC... I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM JUST NOW HEARING OF HER THRU THE BET AWARDS... GOOD THANG THO,,, I WOULD LOVE TO WRITE AND ORCHESTRATE MATERIAL FOR HER...

  • shes amazing....cream of the crop...even better she doesnt follow all the other half clad half talented youths running around all over the media!...Too bad i didnt hear of her before!

  • Grace Jones, Anita Baker and James Brown in one package. Refreshing musicianship without resorting to the overt sexuality some singers feel they need to make a name for themselves. I can't believe this is the spastic kid who attempted to pay tribute to Prince on BET with a seemingly unrehearsed act.

  • im mad i just found out who she was on the BET awards

  • She kinda reminds me of an R&B version of Andre 3000 from Outkast. Fun, funky, different, and the quirky stuff works!

  • @mrsbygtigger yea OutKast she was on the team at one time

  • I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THIS ALBUM, JANELLE IS REALLY EVOLVING. FROM 2006 TO THE NEW ALBUM IN 2010...WONDERFUL! HOW DO I GET THE AUDITION ALBUM?

  • YOU KNOW NOW THAT PRINCE KNOWS WHO SHE IS ITS A RAP.

  • I can't believe I never heard of Janelle Monåe until a couple of days ago when I happened to see a mention of her in an article. I'm blown away by her talent, her stage presence, her videos and her music - so different from what her peers are doing. Her originality is a welcome change. I'm kinda late to the party, but Ms. Monåe you have a new fan.

  • THIS SOUNDS SIMILAR TO MARK RONSON'S BANG BANG!!

  • omg! look at thoes beatiful legs...

  • Try Finding it @ Jamglue.com

  • Great song, great voice!

  • that picture at 2:42 is adorable!

  • I LOVE U JANELLE MONAE <333

  • I luvz luvz luvz her!!!!!!! Finally visual expression on top of ill songs! Creativity and individuality rock!!!!

  • pretty pik at 0:46

  • I love her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow, I cannot believe this song. It has the driving positive beat, but with a dark edge & the lyrics are about someone lost/now gone "you're six feet under me'"

    Bittersweet & it speaks to me.

  • omg!!!!!!!!!!! i love this girl! she's so....uncomparable! no one can match her uniqueness!

  • my favorite janelle monae song. which is saying a lot.

  • i love her style!

  • Where is "The Audition"?!?!??!?!!?

  • This song is just delicious!!! Is that steel pan in the back?? Loving this.

  • This my shit!

  • shes all kinds of fine

  • Janelle Monae is secert weapon, that folks r scared to come up against. I would be too. Beyonce has yet another one to knock down!

  • Barbarella Soul? The love child of Prince and Grace Jones? Fresh for sure!

  • @thenavajoknow NICE, AND TRUE...SEVERAL MORE NOTABLE INFLUENCES BEING L BOOGIE AND STEVIE

  • Loving this song big time!! So retro and funky! Digging what she is doing and anticipating her future projects.

  • yay her new album comes out in 2010^^

  • i heard this song on sims2 and its awesome!!

  • I'm angered! Why didn't I know who Janelle Monae was in 2006?!

  • Yeah right? I remember hearing the name connected to Bad Boy at that time,but I didn't know she was the new Grace Jones !! I dig it,I kinda think Grace would too.

  • @PoeticSongstress touche!!!!!!!!

  • @PoeticSongstress I didn't know either! Happen to catch this song bird on David Letterman earlier this week...

  • @PoeticSongstress :We just weren't ready for her awesomeness then! :D

  • @PoeticSongstress lol. that was the year i found out about her.. and i STILL wonder where she's been all my life?!?! :)

  • @PoeticSongstress lol because many ppl were not in her ! luckily i knew who she was after listening to morris brown with outkast :)

  • @PoeticSongstress Agreed this woman is amazingly talented , and her Archandriod album is breath taking i love it , i listen to it everyday

  • Originality is one of my biggest turn on's and Janelle monae is full of that...

  • @drbellows YEAH, ND FUN!

  • how old is she, really??

  • @memyselfandi2311 wiki says 25

  • the entry is new on wiki that's why i didn't know. thanks anyways.

  • amazingly talented

  • lol some of ya'll need to calm down with the idealization of women. It's true u get a glimpse of a person by their music..but u dont know everything. U'd be suprised. anywho..this song is ok.

  • this song is ok ?!? shit is bonkers,and I'm a hardcore hip hop head. The radio AIN'T where it's at for me

  • Today I saw a comment on a V V Brown video saying she was a poor imitation of Janelle Monae. Hadn't heard of Janelle before, but I've been listening to her songs for half an hour, and now I see what they meant. There's something faintly ridiculous about "Crying Blood," and nothing ridiculous about this.

  • @thegrammarfairy There is nothing ridiculous about V.V. Brown. She and Janelle Monae are two great artists with different styles and whoever made that comment was a mud dud loser for trying to find a similarity, instead of accepting the differences between them.
