  • Such an inspiring individual. I really hate it when people compare her or label her. Because she has no exact label. This lady has helped me realize that you shouldn't stress so hard. Life floats by like a dream and we should all let go and have fun before it ends. Thank you Miss Janelle!

  • Ahhh, Janelle Monae. The best thing that has happened to me since 2009.

  • This definitely has Michael Jackson written all over it! I fell in love with it from the first moment I heard it. It puts me in a good mood and makes me want to dance!

  • @SuperMonique1974 Yup, very Don't Stop 'Til Get Enough-esque. Janelle's bringing back old school with modern twists. Wish MJ could have been alive to see music come back to itself.

  • I love the song, I needed this because it really made me feel so much about the stress of work and school!

  • So fresh, so much energy. Her natural voice makes the piece alive and its power less overwhelming.

  • I love how the intro sounds SO MJ!!!

  • this has a fantastic 1979's Michael Jackson "Off the Wall" kinda feel to it...Love it.

  • Who are the 4 ding dongs who didn't like this song??

  • Her Vocals are sick, her range is Off the hook.... I am in love with music again. The future of music looks good if this is any indication of what's to come...

  • I LOVE THIS SONG <3

  • To each is to own we can try to hide from the reality but Janelle monae is timeless <3

  • this is another track with the mj feel to it, but she's soooo much more than that!! and that'z how I initiallly saw her....I was soooo tired of this bland r&b still out now!! And she waz soooo fun and refreshing!!

  • I have discovered to Janelle some seconds ago. She has a beautiful voice.

    Thanks so much for letting me discover her music here.

    The sound is perfect.

    Best wishes from Salamanca, SPAIN!!!.

  • @kenysha I can email you a copy of mine if you like. Drop me a line in my inbox miss lady ma'am.

  • I'm in love with this woman! She is the most amazing artist out here at this time. Not since MJ (rest in peace) have there been someone to move me in a way that seems so not of this earth. Rock on my Alien Sista!

  • I don't know if she is Michael Jackson or James Brown heir!! It's a sun of hope in this darkness of dead boring music!

  • it's like she flies over the notes she sings...

  • THIS SOUNDS LIKE A SONG INSPIRED ABOUT HER GETTING LET GO FROM OFFICE DEPOT....I THINK THAT'S THE BEST THING THAT COULD'VE EVER HAPPENED TO YOU BABYGIRL...NOT LOOK :)

  • @JapanzeeeTV now look**

  • @JapanzeeeTV it is she talked about it on 106 and park i think...may have been another interview i saw but she said she wrote it when they fired her...from now on i'm shopping at staples...office depot can't fire Janelle Monae and get my money lol

  • @mzwright2012 hahhahahahah!!!!! :)

  • She's signed to badboy?

  • She's the female Michael!

  • Is it me or does this sound like mariah Careys say something a little bit

  • Amazing voice

  • @changling21  yessss love her style

  • guys chill she still has W.A.S. i just hope in the longterm Diddy dosnt say he discovered her. even though she tells the real story enough for people to know better.

  • @aquamahquisha worddd

  • luuuuuv it!

  • I hope she is not corrupted by the nonsense called PDiddy. I kinda wish she stayed independent so her creativity would remain pure. I can only hope she won't be stifled by the record labels out there today that are busy marketing cute albeit talentless whores. Blessings to her and let's pray she keeps giving us real music b/c I'm sick of mainstream, non-talent having artist blowing up the airwaves! Go Janelle!

  • acedaface954, I totally agree. They would have been awesome together!!! RIP MJ.

  • I have to say.......... THERE IS ACTUALLY HOPE FOR MUSIC TO BE ALIVE!!! Im not even trying to gas her up but she is the truth. I wish she wasn't signed to Diddy's BadBoy Records but oh well. She's the truth.

  • she is the next big thing, i crush on her tuff

  • Fucking 80s vibe all over it....thank you, thank you thank you, I was sold about 20 seconds in.

  • omg i BIG HEART this song. it reveals janelle's talent as a great songstress. i can listen to this song over and over like her songs.:oD thank you for posting all her songs

  • Her songs are a real breath of fresh air !.

  • I like this, Sista! Imma have to go n get the CD!!!!!!

  • I was up at like 3am one morning and tightrope came on... I've seen JM around occassionally but never knew anything about her... After seeing that video which by the way is CRAZY UNIQUE, I thought to Youtube her and I feel like I've stumbled upon a goldmine... DEF an artist that doesn't get enough recognition!!! She's amazing from her very bland-boyish style (works wonders for her) to her vocal capabilities... Needless to say I LOVE JANELLE MONAE!!!

  • @alexa8peace dang ur right. She had to take some serious inspiration from him to get this end product.

  • beautiful positive kemetic vibes................HOTEP

  • This song reminds me of something Micheal Jackson would sing! I LOVE IT!

  • GOT THE NEW ALBULM GOOO JANELLLLLLLLLLE LOVE YOU

    MONAE ALL THE WAY

  • omg! A GIANT HAIR BALL IS ATTACKING JANELLE'S HEAD! SAVE HER!!

  • i luv this song :D

  • Now this is real Music!!!!!!

  • Found Janelle Monae via an article in Vogue. She's amazing. Bought a actual CD copy of The ArchAndroid versus a download. I rarely do that, but she deserves the record sales and adulation. Everyone I know will be getting copies for gifts. Gotta spread the word about her singular talent. Thanks for this!

  • hey i need the link to get this album

  • Love this chick.

  • Andre 3000 and Big Boi have found one of the best artists in the last decade.

  • it's MJ from jackson 5. He has officially reincarnated in to Janelle. She has a career ahead of her now that she's signed to big boy

  • she's great.

  • Janelle sound has a fresh optimistic vibe. Big!

  • I say she's a gift to music lovers.

  • This song, channeled the spirit of some of greatest musicians of all time: chiefly Michael Jackson. When my sister played me this song, i was so moved- i could barely stop crying... Janelle, thank you for bringing back Music. You are one of the greatest artist of our time.

  • this is my sister rite here luv u janelle

  • I barely seen the tightrope video yesterday and I am already a fan. Today I have been listening to some of her music and my God What a voice and this music is for all ages. I am 49 years old and really appreciate her as a great artist. God bless her and may she continue to totally kick our asses. Badass!

  • Janelle Shoutouts from Major one movements Bklyn,Flatbush !! :)fan club!!! YOU GO GIIIRRRLL..GOT TO LET IT GO..→gud $....lov ya!!!

  • The Janelle Monae.........remarkable in her art and phenomenal in her caliber wow words can't suffice. Big-ups Miss Monae i swear i don't how long i've been waiting for an artist like this.......a well deserved standing ovation im am giving O and as for diddy show his ass up please and thanx!!!!!!!!

  • This my get-home-after-all-the-bullshi­t-of-life song,.

  • Love the song!! I think outkast should manage and mold her. saw her for the first time to day !! LOVED IT! WE GOTTA GET HER CD!

  • @ARohan88 O yes the ArchAndroid will be mine mwahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • awesome!!!!!!!!!!

  • reminds me of "off the wall' same subject matter

  • @cocolahtay: OMG you took the words out of my mouth. I was like this sounds like an MJ sound.

  • @cocolahtay I think that's what it was suppose to be. Just her way of telling it I like it though

  • 3:25 - 3:50 she reminds me of Sade

  • @SalimSupreme she somewhat reminds me of Lauren Hill.

  • THIS SoNG REMINDZz ME SO VERY MUCH OF "DON'T STOP 'TILL YOU GET ENOUGH"!!!!LOL

  • The first time I heard this, I thought it was Alicia. Janelle has her own style and has a beautiful voice. Why am I not hearing her all over the radio?!?!?!

  • B/C mainstream music is not ready for her...Diddy is corrupting her. He cannot develop her the way she should be develop. She would do wonderful with Gnarls Barkley

  • @aharris061487 Diddy promotes himself more than other artist on bad boy. After one or two albums they always disappear and are never heard about again.

  • You are right about the artist diddy promotes or demotes, afterwards you never hear about themor remember them. Janelle if you are listening please promote yourself with your record company

  • @aharris061487 RIGHT!!

  • @aharris061487 I gotta disagree, Diddy has actually given her complete freedom of her creativity, he's marketing her in which regardless of our humble concerns is the best chance she has to make it to the BIG TOP. She's still with Outkast and from an interview with Diddy on Janelle, he understands that she's that thing you leave alone and not try to change her. He understands that she has that James Brown expression or that thing from the 60's 70's that made artist a WONDER TO BEHOLD

  • @aharris061487

    word she definitely would be perfect with gnarls

  • @aharris061487 u still feel that way?

  • @aharris061487 diddy didn't corrupt he just sponsors her. she's signed to her own record label The Wondaland Arts Society. diddy & Atlantic just sponsors her it's a partnership.

  • @aharris061487 OMG. That thought of G.B. and J.M. gives me a musical orgasm.

  • @aharris061487 THE POWER, AND THE DETERMINATION IN HER IS TOO STRONG FOR THAT TO HAPPEN AND HE LEAVES HER ALONE ARTISTICLY HE JUS SIMPLY PROMOTES HER, WHICH I DON'T THINK IS THAT BAD, U HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT HE HAS WORKED WITH GREAT ARTISTS IN THE PAST (BIGGIE, MJB) AND HE EVEN ACKNOWLEDGES HER AS A GREAT...I DO AGREE THAT SHE SHOULD'VE WORKED WITH CEE-LO, ESPECIALLY ON "NEON VALLEY STREET"

  • @aharris061487

    have you not seen any of her interviews? She has complete creative control.

    legend in the making.

  • @aharris061487 diddy has nothing to do with her. he just provided advertising capabilities--thats why shes wider known now--nd is nominated for a grammy.

    shes not lettin the mainstream effect her art....if anything, her art is effecting the mainstream

  • because she's not a sell out.

    and if it were on the radio she will be put under a giant amount of pressure. there for ruining her music

    think about it MAINSTREAM KILLS YOUR SONGS

    Better late than never eh?
