*NEW SONG* Janelle Monae- "Locked Inside", LIVE in Oakland, CA 10/27/07

[WhatsDaTea]

PLEASE DON'T EVER DELETE THIS VIDEO. I do not like the album version the way I love this one. The ended is more heartfelt and sounds better than the studio version. Does Anyone Feel the Same?

[RisseDaRebel10]

And the crowd goes wild! She's super talented. Best musician out.

[jerantrog]

I'm mad she didn't rap on the actual song. :\ I hope she rereleases this song with it.

[PianoOnAStick]

WHY ISN'T THAT RAP IN THE SONG NOW?!

[TaylaAlana]

queria ir no show dela...hunf...

Essa música me lembra umas do Michael Jackson...ADOREI...

Eu acho que essa moça ainda vai fazer muito sucesso.

[voler45]

I saw in San Francisco a few months ago. So much raw undeniable talent.

[Ace18Diamond]

Awesome!

[JazziGoGetta]

My girl Janelle can flow...... there is no stopping her now..... its time to let them have it now Mrs. Monae...... Dont hold back

[MusicOfSoleil]

SHE DID THIS IN 07?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!

[VideoMaster3000]

@MusicOfSoleil yep lol imagine the anticipation i felt waiting for her to get this on wax so i can purchase it after seeing this vid years ago. I was so excited to find out she put it on "The ArchAndroid"

[SIRGAGA123]

@VideoMaster3000 I'M HAPPY I DIDN'T SEE THIS UNTIL RECENTLY, I WOULD BEEN PISSED TO HAVE TO WAIT THIS LONG TO OWN THIS TRACK!!LOL, SHE HAS OBVIOUSLY MADE SOME POSITIVE CHANGES, BUT I ACTUALLY LIKE THE RAP!!

[VideoMaster3000]

@SIRGAGA123 yep ,lol at one point i wasn't sure if she was gonna make it into a full song or if it was just for this performance, but im glad she did

[SIRGAGA123]

@VideoMaster3000 yeah, me too, because this is one of my favorite tracks by her and period and I have great taste in music:) not to brag or anything but I don't waste my time on many contemporary artist, it's mainly focused on great artist of the past

[mistig923]

OMG..she was killin it!!!

[PaddyButters]

She's a true performer. She really engages the crowd. Very intimate. Fantastic.

[PaddyButters]

Haha that fella in the front froze when Janelle grabbed his hand. I'd have done the same. Lucky bugger!

[PaddyButters]

I absolutely adore Janelle. So refreshing. From the time I heard lettin' go to this. My most played artist on my ipod. A breat of fresh air.

[SIRGAGA123]

@PaddyButters SAME HERE, AND I HAVE BEATLES, STEVIE, PRINCE, LOL...LIST GOES ON:)

[lilbodhi07]

crazy, its' just now being released on her cd. song is timeless obviously

[sinomino]

I love this song!!!!!!!

[shundrakan]

Merci Janelle c'est ma musique du matin pour sourire dans le métro :-) Thanks Janelle its my start music to have a nice day and smile in the metro!

[kjrm6796]

Wish I was at this show... Love her sound and vibe! "Locked Inside" is a lovely song too!

[wannabn123]

if you listen close and do a comparison, it's almost the same tune as Golden Lady by Stevie Wonder, cool...

[nicegluefive5]

@wannabn123 i hear it tooo!!!!!!!! thanx!!!!

[xhy20]

"The writers and the artists paid to tell us lies..."

[pixiegrrl69]

LOVE LOVE LOVE!! this song just makes me want to get up and shake it!! it's a happy dance-y song!!! and miss janelle girl you TORE IT UP!! hard to believe this video is almost 3 years old and i was across the bay i missed this!!

[kronk99]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[littlshortdude1]

The album version isn't much different minus the rap. Just as good. The ArchAndroid really is the album of the year though. SO GOOD.

[ladikira86]

whooaa i had no idea this song was that old! *shrugs* whateva its still my jam!!!

[MadamoiselleNoir82]

She is hideous, nothing more than a rip off of other artists way more talented than her. Yeah she is locked inside, inside a industry so evil that no one has any of their own creative talent or direction left. Reviving the 50's isnt that orginal. Nice masonic hand gestures lame little illuminati puppet. Ugh she is so off key!

[nicegluefive5]

@MadamoiselleNoir82 okay. i dont agree. she controls her songs and lyrics. unlike beyonce, rihanna, and lady gaga. Janelle Monae is a true artist so go comment on there stuff with that masonic and illuminati stuff.

[rakstarr]

@nicegluefive5 #LOL That was the comment of the year !

Anyhooz, I LUV this song it has that Michael Jackson feeling reminiscent of 'Rock With You' and just makes you wanna dance. Its euphoric - Janelle Monae is the best :)

~Rakstarr~

[MadamoiselleNoir82]

@IPODGURL or whatever, oh and also @ 4topz

People look at the masonic (google it) symbolism you will see the proof and facts, watch the movie METRPOLIS, see what u think she really stands for. Don't be stupid and believe what everyone tells you.EIther you accept what is in front of your eyes or not. I'm sick of the music industry. It isnt based on real talent. Its all based on whether or not you will submit yourself to mind control of a record label ran by a scmuck like P-Douche aka Sean Combs.

[valenecia]

Aw, she should have left in the rap! (Damn, she can rap) But I still adore the album version :D

[mtfuji79]

SHE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AMAZING!!!

[edmame]

can only take her in small doses...she fills it with so much bliss my heart could BURST!!

[SIRGAGA123]

@edmame LOL!!:)

[LiNaBoO]

damn she's so talented, and when she raps i can TOTALLY hear big boi in her voice. =]

[SIRGAGA123]

@LiNaBoO :)

[nicegluefive5]

favorite song off the album (HANDS DOWN)

[SIRGAGA123]

@nicegluefive5 YEAH, THIS ND DANCE OR DIE AND WONDERLAND

[SIRGAGA123]

[maximuscornelei]

Wow, since hearing her tracks on the Got Purp Vol. 2, she's been on watch for me. Always seen a kind of light that was unique but so different that i couldn't recognize it. She got what John Legend's got, SOUL. Surely, dis island bwoi goin check de rest a dem Suite ting!!
