Omg I'm starting to cry with this... her voice is beautiful and she has that deep meaning behind her words and voice. She kind of reminds me of India Irie the way her voice matches the guitar. Love this song...
i remember when i met Cindi we were at a converse shoe store...i didnt know her cousin was my best friend's boyfriend lol...she is so down to earth...
yo yall please check this group called Good Vocation...i put it on videos like this because we are being ourselves...no trap, no sex songs, none of that mainstream stuff....God, love, all that man check these dudes out...pure dopeness man please yall GOOD VOCATION IS NEXT COMING OUTTA CHICAGO
@msbobbysue. I disagree. There's no way anybody could say that either JM or Sade is better than the other. Sade has her incredible voice, its just sounds so good and true. Also, the way she fits with the band creates superb atmosphere. And .. the same can be said for JM :) . They're both doin' it right and I love them for that!
@KoRnn69 I don't usually like it, and would often agree... but in this case, it's pretty rhythmic and seems like a stylistic choice. Also, it's not in the whoooole song, just in the quieter guitar parts, as sort of chirps of sound. I kind of disagree. That and I'm pretty sure you meant to say "super annoying" and not "supper", since that doesn't make any sense...
I wonder what inspired her to write this...lol (Somebody said that to me)! Ppl are really nosey (She probably did have her heart broken, I don't know how, I mean she's beautiful...lol)!!! She's awesome (I don't want to know her personal business because its not my business)!!!!
i fall in love of her music in 2007 w/her collaboration on outkast album "idlewild" they're the ones who discovered her not p.diddy..but i'm happy of her success she has a great voice'n'style
THis is the type of song you throw on when your man comes to visit you if you are single and you sit on the couch with some drinks wine or champage or sparkling cider in a fancy glass and chill and talk,awesome beautiful song.
@doggieflintant Come one. Janelle is a peaceful, benevolent person and you have to come along and preach words of hatred on a video of hers? No, it's not on.
WANT THE MUSIC!??! well, this was her first album, the audition, which she put online for people to download before she became a hit. It is still a free album~ simply search "download janelle monae the audition album". its NOT ILLEGAL because this was Fresh, young Janelle, trying to GET HER MUSIC OUT THERE. Enjoy!
@sharq2nd2none : HEY :) i had the same question when i heard this album.
this was her first album, the audition, which she put online for people to download before she became a hit. It is still a free album~ simply search "download janelle monae the audition album". its NOT ILLEGAL because this was Fresh, young Janelle, trying to GET HER MUSIC OUT THERE. Enjoy!
how could u not like this song its beatiful the people who clicked dislike must not have a life b/c sometime in ur life u know that thats happened to you maybe youtube was malfunctioning when they clicked that
I think her music is what influnences me to become an artist myself , that music is not all about being heart broken, having sex, or just plain re-re crud, it's about taking your thoughts and putting a tune to it ,. Some people may dissagree but seriously take time to be yourself other than trying to copy an image of a other being. I am going to fufill my dream to encourage others , let me remind you. I'm 13 ;)
This woman is a true gem. Raw talent at its best, unmodified by twisted media perception. This is the kind of music that feeds your intellect, soothes your soul and warms your heart.
her & jazmine sullivan are phenomenal artists - young artists at that. im glad they're not conforming for a look and they're true to their music it's beautiful.
its amazing how our soul heart and mind can join as one to produce such lyrics as this an underated artist that should be bigger than the sun moon and stars people who do a cover to this please do it justice dont just sing it but be it feel it and share it like it was ur last not you are about to sing
@KTBEverlasting You would think it would be that simple...when I search my computer, no such thing exists. I tried downloading it twice...I guess third time may be the charm :/
I really like this song... it reminds me of the 90's R&B... we need more singers like her cause idk wtf is up with the so called "popstars" these days.
Janelle Monae is my favorite artist EVER!!!!!!!!.......everything is so soulful...she is talented beautiful can sing dance nd "rock a stage acapella"...she is so different nd i love that...she kinda reminds me of myself n a way...she would b the only artist if i meet i would probably cry <3
one word to describe her songs WoW! It's a shame they don't play her on the radio like they constantly repeat all of these half a## songs today. I would totally buy her cd's i dont even by cds nowadays becacuse music has no soul its just alot of crap put together.
