Janelle Monae - Violet Stars Happy Hunting live

[NHowell24]

boy does she havee an image for herself!

[eclectica1]

What a little bundle of energy she is :-)

[comfortablezone1]

look at her hair 7:57

[ningali]

@comfortablezone1 lmao! i know right! ahhh she is just masterfull

[MrMandrif]

eew she's been retarted since 2007

[imaninicoledance]

Wow that was great

[dwright036]

@ realmuzicluvers it did look like she caught the holyghost @ the end there lol!

[comfortablezone1]

@dwright036 omg i idid too it's super funny lmbo

[wheremybutchesat]

it's almost shocking to see her not performing because she is so serene when she just talks.

[SIRGAGA123]

CRAZY GLASSES!!!! I LOVE IT WHEN SHE SAYZ PUT-YA PUT-YA PUT-YA PUT-YA PUT-YA HANDZ UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)LOL

[MrBudUnited]

@Bklynleo887 God damit, Diddy and BadBoything are useless for janelle.... dude

[jtarantula3390]

this song is epic!

[Godschild123]

she said doodoo....doodoo...LMBO

[Makoo07]

Watching this video has made my day. I can't believe I get to see her next month!! So excited :D

[TJNYC118]

I think she really IS a droid.Yeah I said it.

[realmuzicluverz]

I LOOOOVEE HER, IT WAS LIKE SHE WAS CATCHING THE HOLY GHOST LOL I LOVE EVERY MOVE SHE MAKES , I GET EXCITED JUST WATCHING HER

[eMobster]

Boy, that's powerful!

[mydlands]

Freakin' awesome. If asked to describe her music to someone else, all I could really say was "good." Don't have any genre labels that fit. But it's GOOD!

[ominecence37]

I love that she is so fearless. Most female singers would be so scared to move like that because it wouldn't be pretty looking or they would mess up theyre hair. Janelle Monae is a damond in a sea of glass too bad her record label isn't do a thing to help promote her.

[Edelien]

Maybe she's not in the top 10 because her music is not the kind of music the majority wants to listen to? This music has too much going on for it's own good and gets annoying very quickly. It's all over the place which is fine for someone who indeed does not want to be in the top 10.

I also like her whole Grace Jones attire. Very original. ;)

[joeprofits]

she so damn gorgeous... i love her creativity...i hope she's not a premadonna the way lauren hill was..

[BadBoiGoodGirl]

does n e 1 have this song w/out it being live

[likemic05]

@BadBoiGoodGirl its on iTunes

[hd92122]

email Ellen Degeneres about Janelle to get her on the show!

(thumbs up so others will notice)

[AtumRaP]

Amazing

[dskennie]

this has to be one of the greatest songs of the last 10-15 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jwreid3]

She's dope! I like her different approach...

[etoo23]

she isn't in the pop charts because she doesn't sell sex and that's what sales nowadays..but she's still great

[SouljaBabyWayne]

@etoo23

Completely true.

Now, if she was to dress like a slut, she would get a ton off attention.

I am glad that there are still women singers that do not sell out like that. It just sucks that she will never become known or have a platinum selling album due to the mainstream wants.

Hopefully, the mainstream record labels will not bring her down. I personally would try making my own. But it is obvious that Bad Boy could bring in more sales.

[suckmypokecock]

Come on it's not that bad. There are quite a few singers that aren't very attractive. But yea I'd expect at least this song to be a one hit wonder

[semperamans]

@suckmypokecock delightful name....but more to the point are you serious? this girl is amazing and pretty to boot. She's got style and that's real style - not a look you can buy from a magazine.

[Jam5bam]

This girl should be alot bigger than what she is I think she is great.

[Iriscean]

who knew ten men with guns were at the door? oh no! the droid patrol!!! ooOOOO!!!

my fav part. she's like cheesey grits with bacon bits (in other words, she's awesome)

[veganswines]

One of the coolest songs I've ever heard, plus the singer is super sweet, plus the guitar is extremely extremely good!!!!!

[Tronchitina]

Weird yet fabulous *****

[HappyHappyChannel]

OMG

[gavianidaniel]

this girl is amazing......

[bklynleo887]

Oh boy, oh boy .... I hope Diddy and Bad Boy doesn't bring this chick down ... like so many others before ....

[toytoy085]

I think she got to much talent for diddy and she should jump ship now.

[Venomous9]

@bklynleo887 In hindsight, I'd say that Diddy discovering Janelle Monae was one of the best decisions he has ever made. The ArchAndroid is fucking amazing, still have to listen to The Chase though.

[SpeekEZ23]

@Venomous9 The Chase is ridiculously awesome!! You'll love it!

oh shit, 2 months ago? u prolly heard it already! LOL

[Venomous9]

@SpeekEZ23 Actually, I've been preoccupied with other things. >_>

Will definitely try and hear it over the weekend though. Thank you.

[latinasimeone16]

this girl is going to make some MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! finally something different!

[kinotonberry]

God, her voice is even more impressive live. LOVE!

[sashikwa]

i love this gurl with a PASSSSSSSSSSSSION

[blackice1022]

NBA 2009 xD

(PSP)

[JoshuaB9435]

her best song yet

[alfonzochavez]

I can't stop watching vidoes of her.

[BREN1987]

love it

[COUCHmade]

This song is the best!

[chris10490]

she is sooooooooooooo diffrent and weird but i dont know y i love her so much

[shaegirl94]

ohmygod! i just dont know howw she doess itt.. mixingg soull&andfuturistic.. its just too muchh this is an artist that litteraly keeps u at the end of ur seat with her lyricss ,her voice her dancemoves her clothes..EVERYTHINGG!an absolute eye catcherr if her and rihanna performed at the same time in the same placee..in the samee room my attention would be on monae ..no doubtt!!the truee meaning of what we calll an entertainer.!!!. her confidence is insanee!i

[freddiesgirl25]

janelle monae is different and that's why I like her. A little weird, but overall it's good music I can clean up to!

[tevinmusiq]

Janelle Monae is my favorite female artist.

You know she killed a performance when her hair is all fuzzed out of place like here 7:56

[Mikeysan8]

wow, amazing performance.

[RickGabeSound]

i cant believe she can hit those high notes so easily!!!

[MikeMaven]

WTF are you talking about?? you're insane.

[CallMeSafari]

you need mental help.

[C4evercute]

lol. You can't make fleeting statements like that without explaining yourself like providing examples...HENCE your -7 rating. Try again and back it up w/ facts...

[nailsandtacks]

she said doo doo at least 10 times. i like poo too :D

[dskennie]

the first song izz my shitt!!!! it's like motown-ish/futuristic/"Hey Ya" :)

[Appyrydr81]

Love the hollywood glasses! I have them in Orange and yellow! whohooooo

[Chell4]

the audio is horrible! But thanks anyway.

[Leagon91]

LMAO! She is crazy as hell! I love her!

[charice22]

i wouldn't say her style is like andre 3000, just reminds you of andre 3000 if that makes sense

[singer2009]

yea... i agree

[MdotHolla2]

true! She has her own style.

[ELEBYSKATEBOARDS]

nice

[knowlife]

this reminds me of early kelis. like the first two albums. i bet she gets looked over cause more people wanna here that same ol' tired mess beyonce does

[AddMEB11]

Beynce trumps Kelis anyday. No need to diss her. Janelle is amazing though.

[dskennie]

what Kelis has that Beyoncé lacks is style, and Kelis has hella style...so whoever said that Kelis was better were telling the truth...being talented just doesn't mean being able to sing, it also means being inventive and creative...and Beyoncé has almost no creativity

[AddMEB11]

ill admit kelis had style. but i wasnt talking about style. I was talking about vocal ability, which Kelis lacks. And as far as creativity goes, kelis wrote very few of her songs while beyonce has many she composed herself. Sometimes i wish when people listened to music they were blind so they would judge on REAL talent and not a hairstyle or clothing. ANYWAYS Janelle is great!

[dskennie]

me too, i wish they wouldn't judge people on dance moves and videos but instead on soul and substance and funk...those are 3 things that Beyoncé neglects for the purpose of pop success....you can't hear any hurt and pain in her voice and screaming and crying in the video isn't hurt or soul.. soul is something you can feel and at least Kelis is funky, but yeah Janelle is the shitt and she's the only person that should get mentioned on this video

[AddMEB11]

i agree she is the only one that should be mentioned. but to say beyonce has no soul means ou obviously havent seen her live. Janelle, Beyonce, Alecia Keys and all the greats like Aretha Franlin and Patti LaBelle have SOUL.

[singer2009]

yea... i think people are afraid of something new or originality

[dskennie]

definitely!!

[getmegot18]

i love her!!she can make her voice sound so many differnt wayz and her performances r hyponotizing

[bleeklyfe]

love it!!!!

[righteousness16]

I LUVVVVVVVVVVVVV Her

[tevinmusiq]

Lol; I love the way she got off at 2:22

[dskennie]

irk

[cha0skid]

She is amazing!

[devilbehr69]

love the song, I am a bit disappointed in her choice of eyewear. the rest of her outfit rocks. a comparison to andre 3000 isn't a bad thing. he is a talented guy. and she is a talent in her own right.

[trannyguy8000]

1. Andre 3000 didn't invent being eccentric or artistic in a pop landscape

2. Andre 3000 didn't invent being black and going outside the norms of mainstream black music and identity

3. Andre 3000 was actually accused of ripping of Prince

4. They are a little bit similar, but not more than say Andre and Cee Lo in terms of this kind of music and stage character.

[JaydeeVonJ]

No, Andre 3000 didnt start or invent many of these trends but he helped usher them in for today's generation. People like Andre 3000 and and Janelle Monae usher in a new reality for generation Y.

[nikobelic85]

Yeah people like George Clinton, and Bootsy Collins use to wear their crazy getups all the time!

[pungadoo]

you know what i noticed the way she is dresed fits the song if she was'nt dressed like that it would not fit the song

[pungadoo]

what can anybody say anything bad about her this girl has it all

[ItsVassy]

Dont care what others say..the girl is amazing.

[b00btube89]

Andre 3000 = bright colours

Janelle monae = Black and White

Spot the difference

[Cluv22]

You know what? You're Absolutely right. I haven't noticed that. That is a difference. You mite be the only one to ever notice that

[deberry07]

I love her individuality! people say she tryn to copy off of andre 3000 and thats not true. you watch some of her other proformaces and u would notice that she is her own person. I cant stand it when people say that. but any who i love her and she is oficially my favorite artist. :)

[ucheab1]

Wat the hella? She's trying too hard to be diffenent, copying the whole Andre 3000 style. And the song is just everywhere.

[michelleswallows]

She very enchanting without any gimmicks. Like a breath of fresh air. A performer that does not try to out perform or don't need any intriciate choerography to have you keep watch her. I love her so much.

[so5xhot]

janelle monae is my new favorite singer. she is so unique.i'm so happy there are artists like her who aren't scared to think outside the box. good luck 2 her

[ericmusiconline]

i love her, but actually she reminds me of anita baker but a modern/ futuristic youthful version. anita baker had her hair like that first, but i think only janelle can play that off as of now.

[MaSTASoLIDUS]

VERY good eye. I saw the same thing.

[yellowbrickroad]

yo i love her hair. just her whole style and flav is original

[CHRISLARA1985]

Dudes...I saw her LIVE last night here in Atlanta, GA...She TOTALLY blew my mind..I had to buy her cd right afterwards..She's definetely something good!

[aabward]

We need more creative artist like this. This girl has an imagination something that artist are lacking. If you have a beautiful voice and an imagination you can go far.

[Jay20782]

She's wierd... I'm not feelin it

[ZoRenol69]

read her lyrics

[Cocobubblez]

thank you, somebody understands. who could like this?

[LBJof08]

folks that appreciate new and cool talent. unlike u so stop hatin, jackass.

[LBJof08]

den u slo, mutha fucka!!!!1

[MahBadd]

WOW she's different. And I like it.

[aswerty911]

i'm sure she'll find a niche.....but not mainstream enough to be huge.

[km816]

she is all this and more Live!!!!

And im goin to the commn n NERD show.. i aint kno she was openin!

[MilesInferno]

i really want to see her live!

[leezymleezy]

I wanna c her perform "many moons".....she is really a breathe of fresh air

[redblack223]

Can't wait to see her live open for Common and N.E.R.D.!!!!!

[tevinmusiq]

yes!!! that show is going to be crazy.

Janelle & N*E*R*D whew...

[PoeticSongstress]

She's so strange!, but that's why I love me some JANELLE MONAE!

[Ronkaylah612]

her dance style in Andre' 3000 circa 'Hey Ya'.......but yes, she is very beautiful and immensely talented......she is the future......I love her style.......

[MaximumBee]

I love her so much!!! But I didn't know these songs were so old..lol.. 2007?

[Nonchalant82]

pretty face, bangin body, ecelctic style, and fresh new sound...gotta love it.

but dude was right, her stage presence is kinda awkward...

[lidlman31]

nonchalan82 : what do u meen by awkwad?? is it just  new for u're eyes , soul , or what eveer , notings wrong with her stage presence!!

she's just a new soul princess!!let her do her stufff , she f****** rocks !!!

diffenrent = EVOLUTION

[cortezthemusic]

just letting you know nobody can tell me i cant' dance check my page an subcribe

[rockyfabion]

she's so beautiful

[BrandtCooley]

Man, this stuff is friggin' great. Sci-Fi based R&B, I'm in love with this chick despite the P Diddy production.

[mellonxcollie]

Yeah, she's incredible. Diddy isn't producing her though, she's self produced. All Diddy's doing is marketting her and giving her a record deal, which is exactly how it should be.

It was actually Big Boi who discovered her, which makes more sense as she has a definite OutKast vibe to her.

[AkeemJamalRollins]

she did 2 songs. the second was "Many Moons."

[joshylala]

Ok. Honestly. Only 2? That's all the albums her record deal limits her too? Ouch. I love this by the way. Like. She is my new favorite artist. Bought her album. It's like, the greatest story on earth. She has a great imagination and style.

[Meanshots22]

she is doing to much on stage for me. this girl made me dizzy in like 3 minutes

[Pushkin82]

she reminds me of kelis....like how different she is...i like it...cant wait to see her explode on the music charts cuz she will!!!

[sada956]

i love her hair! and this song!

[Aaliyon101]

I love her! she's amazing! and the freshest artists out! unlike everyone else whos constinatly repeating the same shit, she;s so original and doin her own thing and an innovator.

[dnb200]

i want to like her, but...

[elrota]

Is there a reason I can't find her video for this song? I am almost sure she made one for it. She's incredible! I never wake up early but I did this one day when the tv was last on TBS and I saw her...I couldn't stop listening...whatta talent!

[Whuditlooklike]

this is spectacular. her album has been on repeat in my player all day now.

[saccharineDEATH]

she's having so much fun on stage! I hope diddy doesn't mess her up she great and so committed

[saccharineDEATH]

but if diddy got her a choreographer like hi hat that would be great! she'd be unstoppable!

[MilesInferno]

I hate the sound quality. fuck. I love her music!!

[nupe9]

We finally an American Bjork!!!! Black even!!! go figure!!!!

[devoneking]

That is the stupidest thing anyone could say about this girl. Watch out.

[hym456]

i love her originality

[MusicVisionary]

SHE KILLED THIS LIVE IN NY YESTERDAY

[ghstofyoumcr]

SHE IS A BLESSING!!

[gregew6]

Shouts out to Kalindo the guitar player... what up man... I see u!

[gregew6]

this is actually Janelle Monae performing "Violet Stars" and her song called "Many Moons" (which by the way, is my fav song by her).

Watch out world... she has officially arived!

[gregew6]

never knew she did this song to.... thanks!!!!!!!!!

[JTNugget]

The sound quality on this is garbage.

[damuzachi]

her voice is beyond awesome

[bj1013]

she is AWESOMMMMME!!!!!!!!

[murfreesboroman]

i really hope so Iam loving her whole vibe

[dc3fanboy]

WOOOOOWW, what a talent singer, wooow and she can singggg. Wooooww. Janelle Monae go girl. She has differnt style than others. Diddy congrat on her signing on BadBoy, it's gonna be big. Trust.

[ynry27]

damn i love it

and it weird cuz this isnt my style of music

she so wierd but in a cool way, lol

[Aarika83]

All this whining about Janelle Monae signing with Diddy...*smh*

She's destined for greatnest no matter WHO takes her.

This one rigt here will be Diddy's biggest success story since Biggie.

Mark my word.

[Tori42]

I think she would be more sucessful with Will I Am, or Outkast (who I first saw her with)

[killahkazi]

She can sing and shit, but she needs to work on those dancing skills.

[ynry27]

i dunt noe what to say, cuz i dunt like it at all. but i kinda do at the same tyme. funny, its her style i think

[MusicSlideShow1]

she very talent and unqiue thts good loving the new style

[MusicSlideShow1]

she very talent and unqiue thts good loving the new style

[msdrella]

She's so pretty..

the first part of the song reminds me of Andre 3000's Hey Ya!... I'm feeling it :)

[jaytech3000]

I love it!!!! it's fresh and new! I get tired of seeing the same type of singers all the time she is awesome!!!!!!!

[mojo71680]

GET IT JANELLE!!!...lol..keep on expressin yourself...i love it

[yanm86]

Why does she have to act that way, the song is retro, but she is actin a damn fool!? She needs to chill out, this outkast thing is played

[jayluvin76]

she is the business!! i hope bad boy promotes her right!!

[princessamina1]

It's a total shame she signed with Diddy. He's gonna milk her and dump her like he's done with EVERY SINGLE ACT HE'S EVER SIGNED. Name one person that was signed w/ Bad Boy in the 90s that's still with him...none!

[badboyforeverdotcom]

mario winans

cheri dennis

[princessamina1]

Ok...now name a successful one. Those two acts have only ever enjoyed lukewarm success...if it weren't for Concrete Loop, I wouldn't even know who Cherri Dennis is.

[badboyforeverdotcom]

mario winans debut album went platinum and hes been producing songs like last night with diddy and keshia, a joint with ashanti, songs with the game,and others like day 26 and danity kane and has a new cd coming out later this year

[princessamina1]

Ok, I'll give you that one...but you still haven't changed my mind about Diddy and Bad Boy. Still, I hope Janelle Monae has a long successful career; despite signing w/ BB.

[badboyforeverdotcom]

big boi from outkast is still gonna co produce the album with diddy but moving 2 bad boy is gonna give her the chance that she didnt get with outkast.

[gregew6]

BRAVO, BRAVO!!!!

[faceme11]

this girl is very pretty and she will make it big! watch out! the true artist is coming

[lisab1023]

i love her voice and her style...just so different and unique

[monilu2k]

The music business really sucks.. it makes no sense that shes is not signed.. it makes no sense that shes not on the radio. shes going to give so many artist a run for their money.. shes hot and shes doesnt have to show off her body and shes can sing like nobodys business. WHATS TAKEING SO LONG TO GET HER OUT THERE!

[steparock]

She is a great Artist, and Singer. She did something darring by THINKING and not just putting a good beat and sex mix on a track. She reminds me of Andre 3000 and Prince but yet with her own style to create. LOVE IT

[longtallsallie08]

wack

[hoodiemoney24]

what are u doing here? get the fuck OUT FOOL!!!

[mrsinister6]

you must be talking about yourself, do you even have talent? probably not!!!!!
