Janelle Monae: "Many Moons" Official Short Film

[Ikezinpereira]

This is the true Soul

[EncoreTJA]

I want Jane Lee..... ;)

[MsImAmenace]

shes so cute and unique

[Rockymountains95]

Thanks Stargate Universe to hear this song :-)

[amofe]

I can't lay my finge on her - she's most definitely something, her songs are unique, hairstyle and way of dancing absolutely crazy. She's definitely living outside the box, isn't she.

[meu3able]

They

[meu3able]

@WannabeSingerxx why wouldn't she sound like outkast seeing that put her out.

[librapaladin81]

This is some of the best stuff I've seen- ever. I'm not one to over exagerate. I've heard songs recently I liked better. I've seen videos recently I liked better. I've found artists with a lot of swag. I've discover many songs with great messages. I don't think I've seen anyone new(er) in the past 20 years with as much to offer the future of music as this chic. Here's to finding great artists!!

[librapaladin81]

P.S.- That includes Lady Gaga.

[WannabeSingerxx]

Is it just me or does Janelle Monae remind you of Outkast? :D :D

[L0i7a]

@WannabeSingerxx the morris brown video, ( at least i think that's the name of it.) by outcast she's in the back seat of the car that big boi is driving. i think she was associated with them a while back.but switched to p diddy for some reason

[jalitamoore]

i think i would cry if i saw this live

[MsSunshine715]

She dances, she sings (like no one), she's beautiful and she's crazy as hell (in a good way)!! What a woman! Hers was one of the best shows I've ever seen! Beautiful!

[moonwater82]

so janelle.... i've always liked her, but at 3:39 i fell in love <3

[yolovesgud]

this an excellent song

damn, she's seriously talented

[EatMyOREO5]

lol she's cute.

[jamestvstation]

Fly As I

[TheDemigawd]

neon gumbo?

[MrTichabin]

@TheDemigawd Actually, the end of "Many moons" is "Neon Gumbo", but reversed !

[biscuitfeet1]

Janelle is most certainly the most talented current female artist. Big Boi has done an amazing job producing. BTW, that's not Andre on the guitar guys: that's Kelindo Parker.

[nevershouttunechi]

#She did the moon walk forwards!!

[ayahellaina]

she grooves like tyna turner !! ~ i kinda like this song .. shes a teriffic singer !!

[apruitt1067]

this is shit

[apruitt1067]

this is like wanabe outkast plus beyonce......=garbage

[comeonnowism]

@apruitt1067 where do you see anything beyonce in this video? Janelle and beyonce arent even in the same category. Janelle is a true artist.

[dagurlnv]

This low key looks like an initiation video, for those who understand what I mean please feel free to correct me if Im wrong...

[jencendiary]

@dagurlnv If you're worried about the Illuminati, seeing ghosts under ever bed, and think the men in the highest levels of power are concerned for a second with pop culture - beyond making money off it - you have missed the plot entirely.

[cjsxe]

One Two Three Four Five, Six Seven Eight Nine Ten, Eleven Twelve.

do do do doo do, do do do do doo do, do do do do

[BluisRaw02]

@cjsxe Sesame street was also the first thing I thought of. That's the pinball machine of my dreams.

[kajuandebrelll]

It must be a blessing to be able to share your music/creation with the world.

That is a dream of mine.

My new song titled You Are My Dream is on my profile.

[tobyscleverbanana]

This is the most entertaining video I've seen in a very very long time

[skeletonmate]

beautiful fucking woman.

[guiltypleasure13]

I missed this. A girl with pure talent who's not a slutty bitch half-naked in her music videos, thanks for reminding me that this still exists ;)

[apruitt1067]

@guiltypleasure13 yeah your a dumb nigger probly

[guiltypleasure13]

@apruitt1067 I'm a white girl from Spain. You're probably a racist american asshole. just saying.

[elinzualo]

Janelle Monae and VV Brown should def make a colab!

[DineiNunesVEVO]

She needs more popullarity

[JusticieroDeLaMuerte]

OUTKAST

[FriendshipSmiles]

[Sietenuevas]

Andre 3000 on guitar?

[GooGooBear24]

If you look closely, you can see that 6IX Savage's uniform was styled after a Nazi's

[xristoforos1094]

just great (also she got unscrewed ;) )

[GAMEBOIMARCUS]

WHY! haven't I heard of this in 08?! I feel sick, I missed out. Well I guess it's never too late. Next click will be buying this album.

[coolflexa]

Effortlessly original!

[KartingApexKing]

[stachiano]

[melodychien]

[klalmdasara]

How classy . . made me cry in the last part :")

Janelle Monae : you are somthing else!

[TheZoRetro]

2012: YEAR OF THE DROIDS

[DauriahDream1]

Janelle Monae's music is meant to be analyzed. It shouldn't be seen as a "summertime joint"...

[ApeIncognito]

3:25 I want one too!

[modaze]

She's the Female Andre 3000, and she made the Hey Ya rmx

[JulietTony10]

im sure this would make alot more sense if i was high

[senorlunita]

like a panthaaa

[tobiaspoindexter]

Andre 3000

[beachballsify2]

i hope janelle collaborates with andre 3000!

[Revoyable]

Where can I buy one? ):

[chany2847]

love janelle but this reminds me a bit of a slave auction.... kinda awkward

[sigsigsputnik88]

@chany2847

I don't think that's a mistake, some of the the songs lyrics (your freedom's in a bind) suggest slavery of some type.

[bourgeoisbrats]

@sigsigsputnik88 She ain't being subtle...she "intellectually" pro-black...just like Winton Marsalis :-)

[sigsigsputnik88]

@chany2847

I think this is a protest song for today!

[luthifer01]

♫ one two three four Five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve! ♫

[IDontKnowCorp]

Uberswag powers activated

[MissEnglishChocolate]

Does anyone know if Janelle will be touring the UK anytime soon? And if so when?

[areanem]

she is amazing!!!!!! 

[SoUndiscovered]

She Better WORK !

[denizdrogba]

wow, unique, powerful, cool!

[ek180]

Tell me, are you bold enough to reach for love?

[beautifulmehere212]

I love this short. In every possible way.

[MrSenseiKyoto]

Thumbs up if this video still makes you cry or even tear up a little lol

[makiloverainbow]

She is such an odd ball. And for that, I love her even more!

[Brunetbaibx3]

I really luv the poem part, its so... amazing and catchy!!!

[uvyhi]

damn what shes singing about is too real

[sigsigsputnik88]

@uvyhi

Growing down instead of growing up!

[LightShowerss]

this girl has what most female artists today do not, and that's class

[denizdrogba]

@LightShowerss so true

[ktleeper]

@LightShowerss You got that right

[urliteshinemedia]

@LightShowerss ...and raw talent

[dobie42a]

@LightShowerss Amen to that.

[yodellikeyoumeanit09]

@LightShowerss Theres finally hope for the popular music scene!

[phemyda94]

I just discovered Janelle Monae. Can't believe I never heard of her until yesterday. This video is genius on so many levels, and the artist herself is amazing. I love her style, her tux, her hair, her voice... and she dances like a BAMF.

[GhettoChiique]

Damn, girl can moonwalk ! I love her. She's brilliant.

[ktleeper]

Okay, I love Janelle Monae, especially this song, but I'm confused. . .; What's up with the vampire dude?

[lcfylcm]

great music, great video and great shoes lol

[purpledishsoap]

She looks good with straight hair? Whatever, her normal hair is rad. I wish I was black just so I could have awesome hair like her. Don't get me wrong, I like being white, but HER HAIR IS SO AWESOME.

...actually I'd probably just steal will.i.am's wintastic wedge hair, but still. I am envious of the awesomeness of super curly hair sometimes. It is magnificent if you style it the right way. MAGNIFICENT.

[andrewfrancis74]

@purpledishsoap Very true. There's so many ways to style curly hair.The dominance of whites is the root cause of all the straightening, nose sharpenning, bleaching,etc.,although nowadays it's SOMEwhat not necessarily race related. But I don't hold it against anyone who still thinks that way,because the dominance is so strong. I'm 49 and only recently become properly "awakened"...the beauty I now see is so awesome! I love seeing the hair, the broad noses, the jet-black skin,the big cheekbones.

[andrewfrancis74]

@purpledishsoap ..

[EmpressSakama16]

My second fav video on youtube

First one is Bye your side by Sade

[littlemisssick]

this is a mix of many moons and violet stars

[Urserer]

@littlemisssick I don't hear any Violet Stars in this. I'm fairly certain the prologue is Sincerely Jane, and the rest of the song is Many Moons.

[73musicmusic]

her feet move in magical ways

[laughsatasians]

She looks soooo good with straight hair

[andrewfrancis74]

@laughsatasians ...like white people. When are we going to finally say "God doesn't make mistakes, there's nothing wrong with our natural fuzzy hair" and feel happy about it ? I love what she does with her real hair.

[laughsatasians]

@andrewfrancis74 just said she looks good with straight, its my preference, black, white or whatever

[OhMyBooda]

she looks way prettier with straight hair. I just dont find that penis cut attractive on a girl. 

[peteburlington]

i cant get enough of ms monae keep on girl !



[laughsatasians]

Proof right here that true music is alive and well, thank God.

[Canadaroxmysox247]

i just realized she's like the female outkast!

[ANewPseudonym]

BEYOND!

[DatKidFromTDot]

She did a forward moonwalk. I think we can all agree she was born to be a legend.

[TheGeno5]

GENO FIVE-PERFECTLY IMPERFECT (JANELLE MONAE SAMPLE)

youtube.com/watch?v=DJGlbXIMAF­­c

[Pipotron3000]

Killer video

Killer dancer

Killer music

And you are definitely dead if you want to beat her voice :D

My only regret : no duet/battle between her and Michael Jackson...this would have been the ultimate one ;)

[bronx7263]

At 1:09 -> Just WAW !

[sukahatila92]

better than nicki minaj

[Jeeeeum]

@ wuzzlebuzzle, is it really that serious? That is all you took away from this brilliant song? <digdeeper

[sigsigsputnik88]

Since Thriller i don't think I've ever scene a better music video!

[Dorothyfleurantin]

she talks about real shit..

[wuzzlebuzzle]

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven twelve!!! she fully stole that!!!!

[stgm]

@wuzzlebuzzle No dude, people have been counting with numbers exactly like those for at least as long as I've been alive (25 years). Prior to 1986 I don't know if people did. Anyone born before there able to let me and wuzzbuzzle know if people used numbers in the pre-me era?

[wuzzlebuzzle]

@stgm dammit I meant to link a video. effed it up. there is a counting song with the same melody. drives me crazy everytime I hear this song. It's a cool song. just not that

original.

[TheProtronic]

@wuzzlebuzzle "Pinball number count compilation" on youtube. It's an old Sesame Street song.

[therealbaz10]

anybody else notice that Chief of Police was wearing a German Army uniform from World War II? Somehow I doubt it was accidental :P

[Ferbbie]

@therealbaz10 Take also a good look at the pictures and texts flashing behind her...messages maybe? :D

[therealbaz10]

@Ferbbie Heh yeah, the whole film is one big ball of smooshed up references to things... and it's awesome like that :D

[DBlasthemonster]

I HATE DIDDY

[Pipotron3000]

I'm going to sing "nananana na na na nananana" for at least two days now...this is not serious ;)

Very impressive artist :D

[drrhythmn]

she is absolutely beautiful, but its all about her talent so she doesnt try to be sexy or anything. LOVE!

[suckonmyloglayla]

5:18 <3

[mrKoncpom]

It's true what they say - good things do come in small packages!

[samygissi]

@zachandthemachines hell no , is not different , is the same shit.

[williamchandy014096]

Polaroid Picture...

Female Andre 3000

[saramichealhpt]

This should be a movie, as someone else said in a comment. I' d watch it for sure.

[delype]

Awesome!

[panictaindfobrox]

Screw Rihanna! Janelle owns her everytime- she's amazing!

[dandmarcus]

@panictaindfobrox Rihanna owns Janelle...concert tickets, Rihanna said she'll be at one of her shows soon lol

[MadisenFais]

@dandmarcus Rihanna does not OWN Janelle. They don't even belong in the same sentence. Rihanna's looks and nothing else. She can't write her own songs, she can't sing very well and relies on autotune and DJs to right nice dance mixes for her. She cannot standalone, she is useless without everyone else. Janelle can blow you away acappella. That's a true singer and true musician.

[DauriahDream1]

@MadisenFais Preach!

[TheWawa10]

I AGREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!111

[peaceprincess17]

Gotta love that hint of Outkast vibe.

3:02 Don't take the Dandy! xD

[samygissi]

Listen Janelle Monae, you have to be ORIGINAL! :) please I don't need another lady Gaga :)

[zachandthemachines]

@samygissi What the fuck are you talking about, it's a concept album, those have existed since the 60's and her concept is way different than Lady Gaga's.

[nessm825]

Everyone press F5 to replay to give Janelle the views she deserves!!!

[shemaria24]

even if ur straight janelle monae is the type of person u fantasize about striaght or lesbian u no u think about it

[sigsigsputnik88]

She is a adorable little pocket diva!

[wootwootedna]

she kinda has that nicki minaj feeling.. except that she CAN sing

[kenshinjd]

wow haha!xD

[csoares95]

She's truly amazing. Amazing live performer, amazing singer, amazing lyricist. Love her in all the possible ways! Too bad very few people know her work well here in Brazil. Anyway, she was amazing at ROCK IN RIO!!! Come again soon!

[KLUVATL]

~> [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...6, 7, 8, 9, 10 -- 11, 12! ]

[EmpressSakama16]

If I was famous I'd be misture of her & nicki minaj^_^

[EmpressSakama16]

I like her hair like that with out her up she looks extra short, well she is short but you get my point

[StevenExperience20]

How does she do the moonwalk forwards?!!!!! I wanna learn that!!!!

[alejandror791]

muito legal,ótima artista,muito bom o show q ela fez no brasil,espero q volte muito mais vezes por aki



[saramichealhpt]

This is not my comment, but as someone suggested, there should be a movie based on this video. I' d see it.

[nwalds]

She is a total marvel! So refreshing.

[chinee111458]

[LHoldsHands]

God I wish I could dance like her!

[adrianedawndawn]

Beyond!

[123hichkas]

how the fuck didn't i know about her???? she needs more publicity i think

[InsanityFlows]

@123hichkas She needs more publicity, but until she starts shaking her butt and boobs in her audience face, she won't get it.
