To think it was Charlie Chaplin who wrote this song worlds ago. Eric Clapton did a lovely rendition of this on his comeback tour in '74. A great song is a great song no matter the singer or rendition. Monae is incredible!
Janelle Monae if u see this I want to let you know... you being aware of the things that people overlook or don't try to discover really help ppl like me who strive to tear down the four corners of control! YOu inspire me to no end!!!! Your love for helping and leading ppl to that special place of no control or Highs or Lows; basically the beautiful balance that you mention that we need to apply while we're here on earth has definitely reached my heart and I ask that you continue...
@orkid682 Dont get too happy yet, the industry is sending reinforcements to try and fu** up all the good artists one point would be how she's in the bad boy graveyard
I love this song, but not everyone can pull it off. So far I <3 most of J. Monae's stuff, and this was special, put her at a whole other level for me...
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH she's amazing, i'm smiling and cryin at the same time seriously. she makes me wanna live
this song sound like a Lauryn Hill record. Im a fan already. Just seen Janelle Monae perform live in philly the other day, and im like YES i need to go buy both of her albums. This song won me over tho OMG
Music also died. Janelle rescued it!!

She is horrible live, but has some good music. Saw her with Bruno. I wish she would stop singing "Smile. Her arrangement is terrible.
