[byebyecitybyebye]

She's like James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, and Michael Jackson rolled into one. And she's absolutely beautiful. I'd give anything to hang out with her for a day.

[Oshunlife]

does anyone know the creator of this song or the original? I've heard it b4 but I can't remember who sang it.

[Sabby100]

@Oshunlife It was actually written by Charlie Chaplin

[e198811]

[blueswino]

she's one great artist !! I'm amazed by her voice...her charisma...woah..her sense of rhythm which is amazing too..she's quite sexy too...damn phone

[realtwalk]

Music and dancing are great! But she is so darn good looking

[Vatanaven]

Her voice is impecable!

[keyaanisha]

I think her hair is beautifully styled and elagantly natural. She's an entertainer playing her role to make music history. So what better way than in sophisticated attire to support her role......IS ALL I"M SAYING.

[momodani7]

Go Mo!!! :D

[Deerych]

Beautiful voice. Horric hairstyle that is a bit overkill. Ok you're diferrent; we see you. Damn. Why must our appearances be so over the top?

[keyaanisha]

[phiGreenChocolatephi]

ok so i'll admit i haven't seen much of her, but what ive seen is good. not great but good, i like it, i like that she writes conscious music, but to me she lacks authenticity. Any reccommendations as to which songs i should give a listen?

There is an artist, Esperanza Spalding, if you haven't heard of her check her out. She has a beautiful voice and she plays the upright bass, whats more is she seems down to earth, she comes across as real, and she doesn't always appear to be in costume

[desi1987]

so beautiful...*sigh*

[BlackieHugeHands]

She is clearly an ass.

[mrsinister6]

an ass? please, explain.....so you won't be much of an ass for making such a out of the ass comment.

[mrsinister6]

an ass? please...do explain, so you won't make yourself look like an ass for making a comment straight from your ass

[911valentino]

lmao....okay!

[harveywallbanga]

No, dear sir, it's quite obvious that you are the ass since you did not care to define how she is "clearly an ass".

[booginas]

Is this a cover or is this an original song. I've never heard it before but it sounds like a remake.

[cocoapeach]

It is a cover of a song by Nat King Cole.

[tkbone122]

written by Charlie Chaplin

[rhondiddy]

omg THERE IS CLASSY BLACK MUSIC IN 2008! I BOW TO JANELLES STYLE! i have turned off the radio and i lost hope...But i cant now!

[thisdick08]

[ibnmajeed]

it makes me really pissed that she's not on top of the world right now. so many talentless artist out right now and they blow..........i'm starting to resent the industry. i hear Anita Baker and Lauren Hill in her voice but that image is a female Andre 300 with a kelis untouchable style.

[jbell8303]

OMG!!! She looks and shapes some of her vowels like ANITA BAKER!!! So unique! I just saw her live at the Fillmore with Gnarls Barkley. AMAZING CONCERT!!

[radiogurl14]

Oh my goodness she really is so amazing!

[tjbrad02]

ANITA BAKER PEOPLE, ANITA BAKER. Does no one else hear Anita's spirit manifesting itself in her voice???

[Electricfuse]

Hey Love Anita Baker..but Anita can't sang like Janelle lmao

[finesse183]

Why isn't anyone blowing her up like they do those artist who have no talent. This girl is the truth and she is the future of music.
