  • I feel this during speaks words our hearts cannot say...@godsblsng

  • This sounds is a lil Mary J Blige and a lil India Arie

  • can someone tell me originally wrote this song. Thanks! such a beautiful song. 

  • one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite artist. I actually like the guitar chords squeaking...

  • 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 love this song soo much the first time ii heard it ii cried :( !

  • Omg she looks freaking gorgeous with a fro :O

  • I friggen love her voice

  • i love this song and shes pretty no homo

  • @MrTerria88 *peace full

  • 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...

  • It's bn a while since i've heard music like this. JM, You got a new fan in the UK. This song gives me feelings i havnt felt in years!!

  • You are so beautiful omg u are a beautiful person.

  • I loooooove this song! Her voice is so beautiful! Such an underrated artist! smh

  • love her

  • This is a very beautiful song!

  • love this song

  • Great voice and she is amazing

  • like if ur listening too this in 2011 (:

  • 2006? Y aine she publicized again? Oh yeah, too real for the machine

  • Why is she not more famous? this is great!

  • @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!

  • mann.....

  • This song is beautiful!!

  • <3 Kellindo :)

  • so pretty n i love this song

  • @15Adrianwilliams

    better than sade already , a much more creative act , more dynamic xx

  • if she goes this route she could be the next Sade Adu of this generation IF she goes this route I LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR a god send !!!!! :D

  • @stars7803 She's not going this route. Check out her new album, it's actually better than this.

  • @stars7803 no no , i think she's already way bettter than Sade! shes more creative, wider vocal range , more dynamic xx

  • BEAUTIFUL absolutley beautiful! excuse me if i messed up on spelling lol

  • " now that i am free i can release all that i have in me " wow wow wow

  • she is fantastic

  • she shoulda stayed with the r&b sound on her album!

  • is this an album

  • wow....her voice is soothing... 

  • fingers sliding on the guitar string during chord changes is supper annoying.

  • @KoRnn69 its super talented ... those scrapes are digital ... secondly .....

  • @KoRnn69 idk i think it gives the song a since of realism...i could just be reachin though lol

  • @KoRnn69 really... thats what u get from this

  • @tomsamphiljon4 yes really, and of course not.

  • @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...

  • @SabrielBluestone i agree

  • @KoRnn69 or misspelled words :)

  • @KoRnn69 idk i like it kinda...adds a since of realism to the song

  • @KoRnn69 Really? I love that sound

  • I listen to this everyday....thanks for posting it :)

  • sounds like mary J blidge to me lol

  • Guauuuu....aquí hay talento.

  • best unknown song ever

  • who knows how to play this song!!!! PLEASE LEMME KNOW

  • Could you post Mr. President by Janelle Monae. Along with all the other songs from her Metropolis EP? I can't find them anywhere . . .

  • She looks sooooooooo good with her hair down. Beautiful woman

  • 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)!!!!

  • Cool tune, but the string slide sounds make it tough to listen too. I understand it is there to give the folksy, amateur effect, but it is too much.

  • 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

  • She is amazing! I mean amazing! now please please don't rant on me, but I thought that this song kinda reminded me of Alicia Keys.

  • is the 'dislike' button really necessary on this page?

  • 5 people have lost all sense of hearing and emotion

  • 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.

  • She reminds me a little of Lauryn Hill! Such a talent!

  • damn this woman is great

  • PLEASE!!!! Can ANYONE tell me where to get her (unrealeased album) called The Audition???

  • @lilhavin I know, I want it so bad!

  • @lilhavin from her manager p.diddy however you have to come to new york at his office.

  • @lilhavin i'm looking for that album too all the songs're PERFECT!

  • This song is deeply beautiful.

  • This song is just all kinds of sweet.

    Monáe is simply amazing, 'nuff said.

  • I love her!

  • gosh that guitar and her voice just breaks my heart. this is just BEAUTIFUL! <3

  • Juste magnifique..... Merci Janelle et merc i également Soulfulbohemian

  • SOMEONE POST LYRICS O HERE!!! LOOOOOVE JANELLE MONAE

  • true talent!!

  • beautiful song, thank you so much

  • ok ok

  • @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!

    **NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT**

  • @Cheezyboi4ever

    Thanks a lot!!!!I m so happy ;p

  • how is it that i cant find none of this on itunes or anywhere else

  • @soulfulbohemian THANKKKK U FOR UPLOADING HER MUSIC! its so0o hard to find---which is totally unfair to the world

    i wish i cud find all her pre-archandroid albums bcuz i wud buy them NOWW

  • Yes. She has such a sensual, yet artistic side to her

  • been there

  • @specsmenace EXACTLY!

  • 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

  • DAMN!!!she is really good.

  • i really love this song.

  • I'm not a P. Diddy fan but any time he goes out looking for you, you know you are GREAT at what you do. I love me some Janelle!

  • 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 ;)

  • @UniqueSwagg101 finally some young girl who feels the same way i do im planning to be a musician. i'm 14

  • does anyone know the guitar tabs for this song?... cus this song is amazing

  • She is THE BEST female music artist out at the current moment!

  • @lilhavin yea its just sad hardly anybody knows smh

  • @lilhavin current moment? "moment" or "current" would have been fine!.

    Sorry, i'm being a dick, i just have an english language exam in a few days. Brush up on your linguistics lilhavin!

  • @lilhavin she ain't fuckin wit marsha ambrosius

  • @illogik Marsha is okay. My personal opinion is that The Floacist is a better artist. Marsha isn't on Janelle's level.

  • @lilhavin Marsha and Janelle are two different genres.

  • @KTBEverlasting I agree

  • @KTBEverlasting

    monae is n a genre ? u missing the point ?

  • @illogik don't compare them

  • @MrSingerboy11 okay mrsingerFAG

  • @lilhavin JM is awesomely talented, but Adele is ruling the music world at the moment.

  • @TheKonaSF Adele...hmmm, I think her genre is slightly different and definitely talented but my opinion remains. To each it's own.

  • 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.

  • Pure poetry, finally true artistry. Music that speaks to your soul, truely uplifting!!

  • yo yo , this sheet dope homeslice !

  • OMG wat ilyk about her is she can sing not fake stuff lyk sum artist and she has her own style

  • 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.

  • I like her, i want to meet her......

  • men i love this song..cant stay mad at u dred..thanks hun..:)

  • The song is called "You Were My Everything" 'Were' as in past tense.

  • I'm in Love.

  • mies

    

  • damn she sound like Lauryn Hill

  • Oh my god ... did I really just hear a pop and/or rnb song from 2010 that didn't use autotune?

    Fuck yeah!!!! Someone who can sing at last! (besides beyonce, but she releases crap these days)

  • @hotqueekboi this video actually came out in 2008

  • I think I just became a huge fan.

  • @qm333 This song made me fall in love with her.

  • @qm333 me too!! I just heard of her recently. Where have I been?? lol

  • I really dig this.

  • those guitar strings are waay too annoying. Too bad. they kill what could have been a great version of a great song.

  • this song is the the TRUTH

  • i'm loving her style in these pics first time ive seen her in something other than a blk and white tuxedo ..... very orginal artist tho luvs her

  • I LOVE THIS SONG! I just listened to it today and instantly feel in love!

  • where are the lyrics

  • she sooths my soul this girl knw wha she be talkin abou!!! love her totaly smashable tooo

  • Thank God For Janelle Monae' = )

  • Comment removed

  • she reminds me of jazmine sullivan,beyonce(lil bit),and alicia keyes

  • Why aren't these songs on an album...?

  • @chcltkss2003 they are on an album. on "the audition".. but its hard to find. well worth the dig tho.

  • @chcltkss2003 There are. The album's called The Audition. U can download it @ megaupload. Just type in janelle monae the audition megaupload.

  • @KTBEverlasting It would download to my computer in a folder, then I would lose it:(

  • @chcltkss2003 How would you lose it? Download it to "Your Music" or search your computer. 

  • @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 :/

  • @chcltkss2003 That's messed up. What kind of computer u got? LOL

  • no real artist does

  • 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

  • this is beautiful....

  • 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.

  • omg ! , @ 0:15 i got chills . i cannot believe she can sing and i havent heard her songs on the radio !

  • nice voice and love the guitar on this song!

  • beautiful... just beautiful. no other words for such an amazing talent.
