You know...even with the random people walking around behind her on the stage (disrespectfully, in my view) her performance and presence takes up the entire space. It's all JANELLE!
Amazingly talented and so much energy. Love, love, love it. Now I see why singers that dance vigorously lip sync. It's not easy to stay in tune and do aerobics. And she's a great singer.
God I love you! You are the best performer I ever seen on stage! Keep doing your thing girl! I would love to open up for you one day! You never know lol
I'm in love with this song. So upbeat I've appliead the theory of this song to my life since hearing it. I would love it if you had a listen to my cover of it.
Man she is so live! She is so amazing! and coordinated. If I was dancing like her on stage I wouldve been in the hospital bc Im too clumsy to be moving around like that, twirling in stuff. And If I didn't fall I'd be out of breath after the 1st 20 seconds lol...Shes freaking AWSOME!
I've always liked this chick...since she's been out.....so was i the only one who noticed that the way she performed this song...the movements..portray the old school MJ, wierd huh? i guess it was the afro! SHE IS LIVE AND IN FULL EFFECT!!
Naw I noticed!! startin from her hop at 30 secs to the hip sway at 42 secs, and of course the attire is Michael All the way!! This reminds me of the Jacksons Destiny and Triumph Tour when Michael performed Dont stop... live
WHEN IS THIS COMING OUT....I THINK SHE SAID AUGUST LAST TIME....WHERE IS IT.....SHE DID THIS AT GRAMMY WEEKEND IN LA AND WOOOOOOOOOOOO, It sounds so MJ....I got to get it......SOMEBODY FIND OUT!!!!
Great, I was thinkin that she was way too high strung at the start of this. Like the notes were flying way over her head but she had no personality to see that they were there. Then that outro hit and you could tell she at least conveyed some sense of consideration. Good for her. She's different and being accepted. Sorry for being critical -for all her lovers.
I agree about the notes flying everywhere, she doesn't seem to have alot of control in that sense. But at least shes having fun. And she is a good dancer.
I AM SO UPSET! I knew about her because she was in the video for "Morris Brown", she did not sing though. However, I had NO IDEA she had a first albuM. I am going to order it! I HOPE THAT SHE DOES NOT LET HOLLYWOOD COMMERCIALIZE HER and DIDDY, we can only hope that guy treats good music like he has got some sense. He does not have a good track record!
All that hoppin' around is straight Sambo! She's like a female Dave Chappelle eatin' catfish on a plane. All she's missing is some white gloves and a top hat. I thought Puffy said he didn't like no Sambo sh*t. Plus her voice is annoying.
u obviously typed that 4 attention. There's nothing overly stereotypical about this. She's dressed androgenously, but not samboish. & the hoppin around is called classically trained dancing.
And you etoo23 are someone who still uses the word whack but can't spell it. My musical tastes are WIDE ranging as you saw from my favs list. But don't sleep on Vanity 6. Your girl here "Jiggaboo" would do well to become half as famous as them. Let me know if and when she manages to make that happen. Deuces!!!
I love how she dances her heart out until sweat is visible, her shirt comes untucked and her hair is in disarray. I love the passion that just pours out of her.
when my band director heard this song he said we t play it!!! every time we play this song other bands be like wat thefuck they playing, but i love this song!!!
She's a good performer with a good voice. no lettin go on this...
