Janelle Monáe - "Time Will Reveal"

[DeishaGuy]

DeBarge would be proud :) Cover of DeBarge's "Time Will Reveal"..She sped it up ALOT and added some pop-funk in there! It would be funny if she and El re-did this...lol I love the do-do-do's and the backgrounds...She is so wise beyond her years!! She's only 25 and has and will accomplish A LOT!!! :) Love ya Jane ;)

[nachele87]

2 step cover from ciara @ least thats what it sounds like unless ciara's was a sample as well.idk..

[bce617]

I love this song

[Crayterm13]

I thought this was off of Got Purp Vol. 2??? I guess its off the Audition.

[suthern]

@Crayterm13 Naw, you're right. it's on got purp. Lettin' go was on both Got Purp and the audition

[latisafears]

i keep looking for her cd and cant find it but im on board

[rosamaryful]

It is impossible to sing a DeBarge song and make it sound good as the original.

[XxBabyGurlLovexX]

I love this! The beat is on point and her voice is just right. I know El must be so proud! :) Love the original more though <3

[ButtaFli305]

i had no idea this was her...brings back memories of college!!!

[procrastin8r89]

fantastic indeed. i love this song

[nomandic1]

she is fantastic :D

[songcandid]

This is nice but El is the only one who can really give me what I'm looking for when I listen to this song. HOWEVER, she is definitely talented and another opportunity for exposure like she had on the 2010 BET Awards & the 2011 Grammys would be great!

[Alwayslogical]

love this remake of the original

[licmiklit]

I <3 the Debarge riff she does in this, it's amazing :D

[Naomi292]

It's good. Only thing is lyrics have changed, beats different & it's a sped up version of Blackstreets - the lord is real

But I def like :)

[mrinnervisionz]

H.O.R.R.I.F.C.!!! What a way 2 destroy 1 of the most beautiful songs ever! Imagine somebody putting this drum machine beat to Heatwave's (Always & Forever)?! This was a terrible idea/decision on her part,leave El's music to himself!

[ItsBabiiG]

I LOVE THE INSTRUMENTAL!!!!! <3 ILY JANELLE {NHM}

[gunnws]

omg , is this miami bass?

[lpmagic4774]

This is a poor effort. I like Janelle Monae but she ruined a classic. I seen EL perform this on TV back in the day and in concert recently in Jacksonville, Fl, he hasn't lost anything. She didn't have u do this to this song.

[eracism09]

Good effort, but I gotta stay true to the original!

[mrsmjackson1]

El must be proud. Nice.

[Tennione72]

she is so dope

[cayu1]

00:30 i fell in love wow shed had keep her hair like dis

[rakstarr]

I CANT BELIEVE THIS VIDEO HAS TWO DISLIKES !

There's nothing to dislike about this song - its the best - Its Janelle Monae :)

~Rakstarr~

[darrenkincaid]

Could I please have the tracks as well? I think I may be in love...

[crazygul04]

I have some of these songs but where could i get this from?

[petronius0]

Um... don't know if this is too late but, may I get the tracks as well? I actually just got into Janelle today via Lupe Fiasco's website and have fallen in love with her music (and her).

[AddieSherell]

Can You Send Me The ArchAndroid When U Get It Please???

[tessab0o]

the only thing i dont like is that the beat of the song over-powers her voice and you cant hear what shes saying very well.

[iamMoochi]

diddy needs to promote this girl more!!!!!!!! shit im mad as hell now. she gott alotta talent!

[HuggumsMcgehee]

I prefer the original song. Still love her songs though.

[noirtriptyline]

She took El and recreated it into a new masterpiece! Love it!

[iluvfb071891]

janelle monae is beat. i wish more ppl knew about her.

[charonn89]

I wish that too! But it seems like everytime I mention her to a firend or family and let them listen they don't want to or don't like it. & It makes me soo mad because she isss soooo good!! && on her youtube video...she doesn't have near as many views as ppl w/ stupid videos like Scarlet takes a tumble or something LOL..she'll get there though..I'm sure. as soon as she gets away from Bad Boy Records.

[clearcaptain]

um, i know im super late but...could you shoot me these songs as well? it would be greatly appreciated.

[ALLeminence]

Debarge meets Ghost Town DJ's MADE GREAT BY JANELLE MONAE.

[TyTyMari]

Now I wanna go natural again!=]

[Lovlei89]

[sopgent]

Debarge!!!! I like how she remixed this song..

[Shaby1]

wow you lot got some deep convos goin on ere, aint ya! cheeessseeezzzzzz!!

[xRYthMiKTRaNcEx]

she has a beautiful voice and great stage presence

[natibbkf]

u guys r idiots. on both sides.

[superstarlavar]

Shameera93...and the same gospel songs your listen to, confess, cry, worship to, praise him to are sung...written by people you are not POSITIVE as to what they do either...some taking it up the butt and all kinds of mess on idiots like yourself simply ASSUME that all is right with them! THEY ARE HUMAN LIKE THE REST OF US!! So u simple enjoy the art an artist puts forth. How they are living...is no a concern of mine (and how did you even come across this song anyway to comment???)

[Rippzorehz]

ok, well that's ALOT of false accusations from your side. So I'm just gonna assume that you're slitghtly retarded and have compassion with you. Yes the illuminati are taking over the world. Also pigs can fly, Elvis lives, Beer does not make you fat and Aliens rape you in your sleep.. every night

[Rippzorehz]

You reaally overestimate the manipulativity in music...

[shameera93]

u listen to the music that contains hidden messages the artist know but u don't u sing it but u fail to realize ur confessions there is so much u don't know the rapper rap about nwo then they talk about the illuminati why did you ever examine the lyrics or try to define some of the words they use the tell u a story and yet u refuse to undrestand the meaning of teh story its not a love song or a song about how much material posession they have its a song about deception repent and be saved

[Spartan3500]

Yea... I have to disagree with you as well. Music really doesn't have the effect on people that you are talking about. And how do you know that these artists don't know what connotations they are putting into their lyrics? I know Lauryn Hill certainly knows what she's saying. You can't say that just because a rapper talks about their possessions, they automatically are associated with the occult. That's bullshit. Please punctuate your sentences so we can understand them as well. Thanks.

[superstarlavar]

Another one brained washed by the church so she will too (in front of people) what they want her to do...usually those same ones avocating have a "struggle" that they cant let go of...its USUALLY sex...lol

[jacobgisler]

ok Forreal, How dare you say That You Dont know "Thoese people" they Are Great Artist. That write there own music That Means things About themselfs

[ladyheiress]

truth behind hip hop... i didnt know janelle was with illuminati? howd u find that out?

[superstarlavar]

The church has brain washed another one...sad.

[dubbsakamelodee]

Well, I am a Christian, so I just want to stick up for my faith and say that THE CHURCH DOESN'T BRAINWASH PEOPLE! People allow themselves to get caught up in stuff that means nada. This person, for example, has gone to the extreme. Hey, you may not like their music or agree with what they are singing, but it doesn't give you the right to condemn anyone. That is God's job and God alone. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. In fact, why did you even take the time out to even go on this rant?

[crisco80]

i'm sorry. i was raised catholic and yes the church does brainwash people.  it does so with fear. fear is and always has been christianity's greatest tool. keep people from doing things you don't want them to do by creating that oh so prevalent catholic guilt. it's pathetic really, and the single reason that more people today than any time in history, are not religious. there's a reason for that. religion is shit. :) have a super day!

[dubbsakamelodee]

catholicism and christianity are two different things. catholicism may teach fear, but christianity actually teaches love. and since we are on the subject of brainwashing, maybe these non-religious people you speak of are actually the ones being brainwashed into thinking that the things on this earth will fulfill them. everything on this earth will eventually die. and lets be real; all of these non-believers call someone's name out when their backs are against a wall. have a blessed day! :D

[crisco80]

they may be two different things, but the same at the core. and yes they both teach using fear. and by the way i believe in god. it's funny to me that you people automatically assume that just because i won't be fooled by religion, that i don't believe in god. you people make me laugh. please don't put your ignorant assumptions off on me. you don't know me.

[dubbsakamelodee]

i never said you didn't believe in God, first of all. second, it is YOU who is making the ignorant assumptions. and it is hilarious that you are going on these rants especially since you have NO idea what you are talking about. you don't know me either, and you obviously have NO idea what christianity is.  have a blessed day.

[crisco80]

what assumption was i making? YOU made the assumption that i think earthly posessions will fullfill me. that implies that i don't believe in god, since i look to material posessions instead. dumbass those are your words. i was raised in the church. what i say of religion is out of experience and research. i know exactly what i'm talking about. you're just a typical irrational religious nut that is offended that someone challenged your pathetic belief system which is full of holes.

[dubbsakamelodee]

i am no longer going to argue with you. like most idiots who THINK they are experts on a subject, you continue to just repeat yourself and make further assumptions about something you do not understand. and its a real shame that you have to attack others and their beliefs simply because you do not agree with them in order to make your opinion known. your the one who is pathetic, and someone obviously didn't teach you respect or tolerance towards other people and their opinions. i truly pity you.

[crisco80]

lol ok. i still don't know what "assumptions" i was making, but alrighty then. and what is it that i do not understand? lol i know it makes you feel better to assume i must not understand religion simply because i disagree with you, but sorry that's not the case by far. i have respect and tolerance, which is exactly why i am not religious. there is no place for tolerance in religion. there is no room for asking questions in religion. that's my problem with it.

[dubbsakamelodee]

...i don't remember what i just wrote, but i'll continue. we don't send a message of fear, not the real christians at least. we send a message for hope through christ. and for you to say that we are brainwashed is an assumption, because you don't know me nor do you know how i came to follow my faith, just like i don't what situation you were in that lead you away from it. if you were really respectful and tolerant, you wouldn't make such harsh statements. do you understand what i'm saying?

[dubbsakamelodee]

all i did from jump was defend my faith. bottom line. you felt the need to attack that. why? well, i won't begin to insult you on what you've revealed to me about your character throughout this whole confrontation. instead, i'll apologize for replying your jibes with more jibes. i know better than to do that. but i will not take back the fact that i said that you don't know what you are talking about because you don't. flat out. i don't care what "research" you did. i'll be praying for you.

[crisco80]

all insults aside. answer me this question. why is it that every example of biggotry and hatred in history had at one point it's biggest support from the church? ex #1 racism - the bible was actually used by the mainstream church to explain that black people were not completely human, and therefore slavery was justified. look it up. #2 - the bible was used to keep women from being treated equal and given the right to vote. #3 organized hate through homophobia. the list goes on. DENIAL

[natibbkf]

wut is sad is that humans, with all their god-like technology and with all their past history, still revert to occupying what may be their only lives with worshiping tyrants and obsessing over conspiracies. future generations will laugh at us, as we laugh at the ancients with their pantheons. at least i won't be stuck in a heaven made to kiss god's ass for all eternity.

[pabloplato]

wtf who's laughing at the pantheon? it's an architectural marvel!

[Tiptoes8705]

This has ATLANTA written all over it, pure voice, beautiful talent!!!

[mostmost1]

[porchia1987]

I love this chick style. im diggin it.

[nusoulstarr06]

I jus wish she was my sister... we are so on the same page!

[SayItTwice1122]

[showerwisdom]

Her style is fly. I should take notes.

[Cluv22]

She took this song to another dimension. I love this masterpiece. do yo thang baby

[deberry07]

[ericakohn]

She is sooooooooo Beautiful! She really is an inspiration!

[luckiiicharmzzz]

I had her cd since it came out last year..diddy so late...I had to search all over atl when the cd first dropped. It was worth all the gas I used too..lol

[furby871]

sounds like a ciara beat- 1 2 step or something..still good tho- loooorve her many moons song!

[aloha889]

Yes, I think they both used the same sample. I think that beat's a sample from a late 80's or early 90's group.

[SBW30]

i like this remix...makes u want to dance..go Janelle!!!!

[DreamBoye]

[titaalysha]

[syckindahead]

[pabloplato]

[coolsdudes]

[natedogg7121]

She released an album called "The Audition?" Where can I get it?

[soulfulbohemian]

I got mine from a friend who burned a copy for me. He didn't tell me where he got it, but he told me (and I'm quoting him here) "a bitch and a half to get a hold of it." If you want I can send you the tracks from the CD.

[Brandav]

can i have the track as well?

[soulfulbohemian]

Of course. Just send me a message with your email.

[EmahMahalo]

Wow! JM is incredible! If you don't mind I'd also love to get the tracks.
