[amofe]

I have to say it's one of my favourite official videos. Monae shows us that what's the most important is the song, and she doesn't have to hid it under some flashy effects. But the video in the same time is by no means cheap, it's just simple, elegant, but notice how many emotions it brings. And it's wonderful she actually could've make something so true, but yet so simple. And the song itself is definitely my favourite from hers. It's beautiful and meaningful.

[Ilovedayledoggi]

im a young producer from northern ireland, would do anything for an acapella of this, DIY or otherwise

[Foxrbby]

Crying. 

[dedxsad]

Clams Casino

[4EPB]

[TwoTailedTek]

I love how she was feeling the song so well that she actually cried, which goes amazing with the theme of the song.

[griffinprescott]

This video is awful.

[toddanthny123]

[TheImsocute]

[ccarolynchaos]

Dian chaouche

[egyptianpepsiking]

Beautiful song. Obviously from the comments some people don't understand how beautiful it is. Let's ignore them and just listen to her, shall we?

[007julemanden]

What the fuck :D

[queenyc]

Whoa!! She's so amazing!

[Weirdmanization]

was she crying?

[PatriciaNorgard]

@Weirdmanization no, her eyes just sweated...

[Nadia9876543210]

God Song;-) Nice<3

[christifreak12]

Never in my life have I seen such a boring video..

[christifreak12]

Funny, this song doesn't actually make sense: "This is a cold war, you better know what your fighting for"?? Do you actually know what cold war means??

[icecreamherro]

@christifreak12 what do you mean?

[bopx]

@christifreak12 You obviously don't understand what the song is about.The Cold War, as you claim to know, was a psychological war between nations.The song is about the depravity of society and how it wages war on our way of life."I was made to believe there's something wrong with me" -an example, the media brainwashing you and telling you you're not good enough, you're not thin enough, etc.. "You spend time running from depravity" She refers to societal corruption and how we constantly fight it

[christifreak12]

@bopx It's not about THE cold war, as in USA and Soviet Union, a cold war is a concept. The media isn't brainwashing people, that's something people make up for attention, stop living science fiction. You probably think the world's gonna end on 21/12...

[bopx]

@christifreak12 Oh my god, I didn't know you were only 12 years old, I shouldn't have put such difficult concepts and big kid words in front of such an innocent individual! My apologies, go back to learning pre-algebra or whatever you were doing- the internet isn't a safe place for children!

[christifreak12]

@bopx You must have spent long coming up with that original comment

[phzz090]

@christifreak12 I'm a little bothered that you think she wouldn't know the meaning of a Cold War. To me this song could mean a variety of different things. But she is definitely not saying anyone is actively fighting. It doesn't matter though, Janelle didn't make her songs for you. So if you don't understand that she isn't actually retarded and does know the meaning of her own songs, go listen to Kesha. Her songs are pretty easy to understand.

[SoonaDanLata]

@bopx LOL im 12 i understand what she's saying. Please dont underestimate people : )

[ItsSavannaCarter]

@bopx THANKYOU!!!!!

[bopx]

@christifreak12 also, you're probably retarded because it doesn't take anything above 4th grade analytic skills to deduce from the lyrics what the song is about. The theme is hugely prevalent in music nowadays so it's not really a puzzle, is it.And your take on the video is hugely biased- hanging probably on you're extreme mental disabilities. Because, as stated previously, the song is fairly anti-media so it's only rational to have a low-budget music video that mainly speaks to emotion. Dumbass

[christifreak12]

@bopx No, you fucking idiot. This video is low budget because it means more money. A video doesn't usually reflect how a person really is. Dokken - Dream Warriors. Watch the video. They don't ACTUALLY go into dreams and fight of Freddy Krueger for a living.

A cold war isn't actually a war, but several countries which are believed to be PREPARING for war, but Janelle Monaé probably thought "Hey, cold war, that must be some dark, scary violent war. Asshole

[Sue6008]

@christifreak12 I interpret the meaning of "cold war" in this song to be about the psychological "wars" of every day. She sings about how she was meant to believe there was something wrong with her, fighting against depravity and for your sanity and so on. Funny how you think it's a low budget vid, 'cause to me she appears like one of the artists that still want to make "real" music, instead of flashy videoes. Guess that individual, eh?

[SeaGreenCP]

@Sue6008

ALL OF THE AWARDS.

[jimmycox87]

@Sue6008 Love the input. I concur with your comment. Its good music. Simple and meaningful. 

[TheV00d00D011]

@christifreak12

Do you even know what a metaphor is, dummy?

[ErickaPedersen]

I really love this music and the video!

But what's the story behind it? Asked with all respect - she's amazing!

[ItsSavannaCarter]

i love her<3

[Sanjica257]

What's wrong with her ?

[ItsSavannaCarter]

@Sanjica257 theres nothing wrong with her. she speaks the truth. from what she feels and whats shes been through. for some people this song has no meaning but for her and many other its means so much.

[christifreak12]

@ItsSavannaCarter No...I think she just doesn't know what a cold war is...

[ItsSavannaCarter]

@christifreak12 personally its all about your view point...

[christifreak12]

@ItsSavannaCarter Guess so

[Sanjica257]

@ItsSavannaCarter Hahaha, what about her face?

[ItsSavannaCarter]

@Sanjica257 i dont know what your talking about Janelle Monae is a Beautiful woman.

[jimmycox87]

@ItsSavannaCarter Agreed, although I didn't think that at first. Shes beautiful. My age to! XD haha yeah id take her on a date

[DaddyAndHisMac]

Thumbs up, If you listen to this song In 2012!

[PatriciaNorgard]

well... this musicvideo is... simple :) but cool!

[GyanaBieber]

great song loooove it!!!

[THManchesterMoon]

If i was about to die, and i could hear one last song it would surely be this one! BEAUTIFUL

[fabiotraby]

i love this song i love this artist..i love yor positivity....

[Adis767]

Challenge : find the dislike bar - Challenge Accepted - Challange Failed ,

[free3949]

one of the best video ever!

[Jatchua]

@free3949 really? common in the creative world this is not nearly one of the best videos.

[CUguy2014]

@Jatchua everyone's entitled to their own opinion. leave him alone you fucking troll

[mochaimperfections]

It will never cease to amaze me how ignorant people are in the world.

This is a remarkable song and beautiful video.

[RunniChannel]

cant*

[RunniChannel]

Some people are recently just being asswholes. and i mean it. you can expect her to be beyonce or rihanna or others.. those people have their own style and their own meanings when it comes to their songs or style. or whatsoever.. people arent famous because they have alots of songs thats pathetic. janelle monae is the greatest person i've ever seen that have such nice music on her own and i think she deserves a good repayment. my opnion i dont like people saying oh shes not famous like this

[JMT3188]

I Love This Song

[MikeEggleston]

You have the brilliance in you, sister.  Become who you were born to be.

[MikeEggleston]

Imma let you finish, but this the best fucking music video ever.

[tyrn06]

beautiful!

[bernadineone]

Before yesterday I had only seen Janelle from a far. Then I started listening to her music. Her style is incredible and now I'm in love with her. Better than mainstream crap. The fact that she's underratted makes her music that much more beautiful. I love her. A lot.

[citizen00erased]

@bernadineone i don't see how something being underrated makes it better. but omg yes she is just amazing and incredible and omg 8D needs so much more love.

[bernadineone]

@citizen00erased What I meant was her music doesn't follow the patterns of Beyonce and Rihanna and others. And she's not as popular as they are. It's trulely her own style. And that's why it's nice.

[citizen00erased]

@bernadineone oh, dun. when it comes to underrated vs overrated, i'd choose to former any day. and yeah, i love her style c:

[monstertwitch23]

@crazyddgirl1989 tht is the worst thing u could ever say do u kiss ur mom with tht mouth

[MagicLyly]

@crazyddgirl1989 What on Earth possessed you to write something like that? The color of your skin doesnt matter when you express yourself. Ms.Monae Expressed her self in a way that is very risky and i feel it payed of and so do her fans, there is a better way to express your dislike by not saying things that are offensive. If you dont like 'Black people' i respectfully ask you to GTFO. Thank you.Goodbye --Magic

[mogolele31]

woa

[TaylorMomsen101]

she is different

[superkays]

she is so beautiful

[Darijaaa96]

SERBIA

[TheBelgradeboys]

Serbian version is so much better! Listen: Kaya-Htela bih

Volimo te Kayo!

[LESBIANGAYVIDEOS]

Janelle is so very, very underrated!!!

[jimmycox87]

@LESBIANGAYVIDEOS I have never known of this artist and this is the first time hearing anything from her and I can already say I concur with your statement.

[haiasimac1]

This video is extremely similar to 'Head Over Feet' by Alanis Morissette. Both are equally amazing though <3

[TheMRMISSY]

love this song so much!

[ShaSd90]

makes me wanna hug her so much

great stuff.

[ismail2020mss]

official soundtrack for the cold war ! lol

[universitypulto]

love the song



[ZornAllein]

is she calling "Galinda!" at 2:07??

[SGH28N]

@ZornAllein Hey there. She calls out Kellindo. This is her guitarist. Cheers

[ZornAllein]

@SGH28N aaah! ok, I see. thanks!

[ZornAllein]

@SGH28N anyway, made me think: she should really play Elphaba in WICKED.

[kaisean95]

Clams Casino samples this song, at the best part too.

[catsarecool666]

it looks like she smoked a joint before recording this.

[ARZUTURK11]

I freaking love her <3

[bguza]

I love this woman.

[C0braGr0upi3]

Such a powerful song and an amazing singer. The fact that she cried during this video proves that this song means a lot to her. It takes a true artist to fully connect to their music. <3 you Janelle.

[preciousice908]

she is a really good singer,..my fav song is sincerely jane..she needs to be recognized more

[MissAli491]

thumbs up if your watching this 2012

[bygota]

Perfection.

[SGH28N]

Magnifique ! Magnifique !

[FireTales2]

Janelle Monae looks so beautiful in this video.

[mundie33]

clammmms casino

[toddyjoful]

WHAT A BEAUTY! raw emotion.

[VforVaun]

She is a good actress.....

[ladypyramidhead]

Being yourself and braving the world while not letting others mold you into who they want you to be... It's a very powerful message especially since it's something too many people fall victim to. We don't need to be like everyone else, we are all perfect just the way we are. There is a cold war against individuality, a personal and societal battle we have to win, or else who we really are dies.

[texboy525]

It's a testament to how amazing she is that she is able to keep your attention throughout the video when the only thing in it is her beautiful face.

[ZdravoCao11]

OVA JE UKRALA SPOT OD KAJE A NE KAJA OD NJE :)

[cweetmelody7]

this should have 50 BILLION VIEWS!!!

[FreakingSweeeet]

I would so marry her! Her face makes me want to kiss my screen.

[SuperJonathan852]

shes scary wen she does that thing wit her eyes and eyelashes

[HannaMusic25]

Her eyebrowss.



[beqi13]

This is the bravest video I've seen, well, ever.

[preciousice908]

@beqi13 yess this is amazing!

[TheMattFillmore]

@beqi13 Because of it's simplicity?

[christifreak12]

@beqi13 Why exactly?

[badgerbythewater]

I just love this song, and the video is simple but gorgeous. I love the fact that it's not one of those over the top videos that try to tell a detailed story.

[Meninomaluco666]

0:13 / 0:16 :  shame others

[mik89el]

first song of 2012, coudnt ask better

[maljoker123]

wait a minute is she bold in this film?

[BeliebeInTheBieber]

@maljoker123 no :)

[maljoker123]

mann i love her songs so much….. but my parents think she is crazy. i wonder why…..

[SeaGreenCP]

I think the "Cold War" might be the fight against homophobia..

[MsSimsCreator]

No word Of a lie I looke exactly like her and everyone tells me, Like if u wanna see me make a video of this :)

[WatchmeDougie29]

I wanna be free!

[tiagoriedner]
