You're just a hater. When Janelle Monae got up the steps, she and Taraji made eye contact. Taraji was dancing to Janelle's song and Janelle responded to her by doing a dance of her own. When Janelle hugged Taraji, you don't know what type of expression was on her face, because HER BACK was to the CAMERA. Nice little disagreement. I like to debate with people. Sorry if I offended you in any way

@brandenmcghee but in this case this poses a question about not facts but mere opinion and I am actually done with this because just as though I cannot change your mind you also cannot change mine and I'm not going to sit here and keep talking about the same thing since that's not going to go anywhere and at that point would be considered a waste of time.

@brandenmcghee You did not offend me because I do not take anything that people say on you tube serious. 2nd I am not a hater. I guess you forgot to read one of my earlier post where I specifically said that I admired Janelle but she is in her own world and is a serious person. 3. The word hater is so overrated where most people these days that use it have no idea how to really use it. 4 I love to debate as well mainly about laws but in this case this is about perception and opinion not facts

[spitfirehussein]

She's so mature and dignified. I love her ! :)

[tiana1017]

shes cool and elegant but u can tell she's kinda arrogant, i mean the actress taraji was giving her mad props and she just took the award and was like whatever, plus before she even walked up there erykah gave her mad props as well , i admire her though i mean shes in her own world and serious

[lovingklimt]

@tiana1017 I can't see what she did wrong..she gived a kiss and started to do the speech...

[brandenmcghee]

@tiana1017 There is nothing arrogant about her. She gave Taraji a HUG. Didn't you see that? She accepted her award and spoke like an educated black woman, something alot of female artists DON'T DO. It's probably hard for you to relate to someone who speaks in complete sentences and uses BIG WORDS

[tiana1017]

@brandenmcghee sweetie I speak way better than you and I hate to say it but over the phone most people do not even think I am black they think I am white. I was raised in predominately white city so your comments does not mean anything because for yours, I've always heard the I speak " proper". The way she talks has nothing to do with me thinking she was a little arrogant so maybe you have low self esteem in how you communicate and sound to other people. That is something you should look into.

[brandenmcghee]

@tiana1017 "TIANA" aka HOMEGIRL, there's nothing arrogant about her. You said "SHE JUST TOOK THE AWARD AND WAS LIKE WHATEVER". She gave Taraji a HUG. Didn't you see that?? How is she being arrogant when she thanked the audience for their applause and gave thanks to the people who helped her along the way. She's not even trying to take all of the credit. She even mentions her TEAM, and she says IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITHOUT A TEAM. Where's the arrogance? Please tell me. No low self-esteem here. SORRY

[tiana1017]

@brandenmcghee Tiana is not my real name, I wouldn't use my real name on you tube and I sure did say she took the award and was like whatever. I'm glad she thanked her team, I was just saying that she could have given Taraji more love then she did, yeah she hugged her but her demeanor was like whatever but it's cool. Everyone is different and I have my opinion and you have yours. I'm not trying to change yours so don't try to change mine.

[brandenmcghee]

@tiana1017 Yeah yeah, whatever.  How much love did Taraji need? Isn't a HUG enough? What would you have done to show your love to Taraji if you were Janelle Monae?

[tiana1017]

@brandenmcghee Well for one..You can hug someone and you can HUG someone. This is what I see.. The way she hugged her she didn't have any type of emotion in her face, it looked like she just hugged her because she felt like she had too because Taraji was so ecstatic but she looked conceited like I'm big shit and yeah i'm hugging you but I'm big shit. Sure shes's big shit now but I've seen them come and go. Taraji was humbled with hers even though Taraji is much popular than Janelle.

I know right...I just watched the encore...lol I love her!!! I've been following her since her first album to now...She has grown soo much!! She literally said all that from the top of the dome! Very well-spoken especially for her to say it without a piece of paper!!! She is my inspiration!!!!

[jaidentymes]

Can't believe no one has commented on this. I was so happy for her winning that night! We love you Janelle!
