My opinion is that she has the best female voice in the world!!! I couldnt understand why she had such an impact on me and then it clicked (she is a female SEAL) dont agree!!!
then just listen how Seal controls his voice then how Janelle controls hers all without ever over singing, peas in a pod i tell ya. The world is told that whitney and beyoncy have the best female vocals around but again in my opinion they always end up murdering the music by over singing , please let Janelle make it big.
@lovingklimt Thank God for that i thought i was the only person in the world that thinks that about Beyonce etc. I just dont get why Janelle isnt The next Big thing......she needs a new Agent.
I wondered if this would still sound good without the full production. I'd actually put this on my iTunes too! ;) She is a talented artist....love her work!
SEE I KNOW WHEN STARS HAVE SHIMMER...and JANELLE MONAE.♪.shimmers shines..& GLOWS..♪!!!!:)..one love movements ...major's corner..luv this !! dont stop sAy so ..:)
I hung out with Janelle last week at a private party and had a long talk about her career. She is a very genuine person and a great talent. Everyone should support her.
marketing muscle of corporations have the power to present to the world any artist any sound. they decide what they think will go over well with the masses.
an artist like this released in the time of gaga, taylor swift, rihanna, etc. may get drowned. you know what people appreciate and it's not always an artist like monae
have to be smart about releasing her sound...one wrong move and nobody notices the first time...try to make a comeback and it's WHO's that?
also it helps she is fun to look at. there are plenty of great artists like monae who have been swept under the industry rug because they weren't a 10 in the looks department
but i hope she gets better, artisticly (spelling?) spiritually, ,more righteous and more of a musical human right activist. i just really like her, and if this industry is not willing to let her be her, then she is better were she is now, with loads of fans, just doing her own thing.
I heard this song and just fell in love with it. And her voice being her actual voice is, well, refreshing. She reminds me a bit of the genre of Outkast, I hope she hits mainstream and doesnt change because she's a great artist.
Wow, she is great. But with the state of the music business the way it is she most likely will never "breakthrough". I am so sick of my 6 media companies trying to force feed the masses and determine our taste. It's amazing that that Outkast broke through. But of course they had to play the stereotypical pimp roles on their first album to get it released. Think about it.....
i agree, the industry has changed so much, you have to sell out to make it big tyme! I heard of Janelle monae way before i heard of lady Gaga, and look who has made it big internationally! Janelle is more unique, has better music, and is more dignified and less superficial. And lady gaga is well ........... typical! and her music sucks. but because she is all about sex, clubs, money and image, she is more famous! its sad! janelle will have to comprimise some of her beliefs to make it!
She is amazing. Her style is so unique and she's simply just amazing!!! I pray to God that she doesn't change. That'll do nothing but make me and many others sad. Her voice is terrific and this song has such great meaning! Love it.
DON'T CHANGE JANE, DON'T CHANGE:) I mean you can change your clothes if you want... but like you know...stay awesome! 2009 will finally be your damn year. I know it.
I'll be mad as a muhfucka if she changes. If she does, somebody told her to and she shouldn't not for no amount of money in the world. i LOVE her for real though, that's my baby.
prince and her need to do a whole album together like now! can u imagine him on his guitar and her singing jus like this, but a mixture of his and her songs? sublime!
OMGGGGGGGG I love this girl! I cant wait till tuesday to get her album!!! Everyone should support her. C'mon her cd is only 5 bucks so take a chance even if you are iffy about it. I know Im gonna love it!!!
OMG... you think she is the worst, thats harsh. I think she is very talented and yes her sound is different but she has mastered her style. I love her and she's originally from my hometown so I'm proud she had made it. Congrats girl keep it up.
i hope so too. look at danity kane, day 26, da band, 112, total, dream. many of the artist diddy signs don't last that long and sing fluff music. he's more about making money than nurturing talent.
I love this song, its constantly on my ipod. It has such a message, and she has an amazing voice. I wish there was a real music vid for this song, but i still this live performance.
thanks for this upload please post more
