[aert88]

what's the name of the song that starts playing at 02:13?|

[gouravictoria]

@aert88 "Up Around the Bend" by Creedence Clearwater Revival

[ipswich728]

Love her so much. I feel like she's more like a poet than most artists today - her lyrics have such a wonderful vibe and charm. And her voice is also fantastic. :D

Also, I'm still confused WHY The ArchAndroid wasn't nominated for Best Album at the Grammies, but that's just me.

[lickidesplit123]

she makes great music. For those people that think she sucks, I feel sorry for you. Hopefully, one day you will know what great music is.

[RealityBites771]

She is too cute!!!!

[ProduceKid17]

she was terrible. i had no idea who she was when i watched the ESPYs this year... she sucked dick, could they have picked an even worst music act?

[SpeekEZ23]

@ProduceKid17 suck my dick u fag! U wouldnt kno real music if it was rapin u like ur tranny-ass daddy, fuckin queer!! Go listen to Wayne n Gaga, bitch nigga

[TravelerofFortune]

@ProduceKid17 i guess if it aint booty shaking or auto-tone mainstream shit its not good, you are just musically illiterate 

[TheZoRetro]

@ProduceKid17 WOW really so you think she sucked because she had on clothes and actually put lyrics in her songs. Shut the fuck up!! and keep sucking that illuminati filled dick you call musick then go to hell!!

[markrcorrigan]

Hey facial expressions and histrionics all night reminded me of Jim Carrey doing the Singin Preacher/Televangalist on In living Color

[LyricallyJustified1]

i like her alot but her hair bothers me.

[eaglenation55]

I agree with superdaniel, and like him i couldnt fathom anyone liking her music, guess we were both sadly mistaken.

[800mEric]

@eaglenation55 if u don't like her music then stop watching her videos on youtube and stfu!!!!!!! many many people love her music. go listen to lady gaga or one of those horrible pop singers. and her songs don't have lyrics what are you stupid?

[Superdaniel95]

@800mEric lady gaga sucks balls, just as this woman does.

[JDMJMA1]

@Superdaniel95 FAIL. u don't like her, fine, your own fkin loss.

[MrJacksonvill]

@800mEric who said that her song has no lyrics...they must be oblivious,or sex craved.They want to see skin thats all..and Janelle decided to go the authentic way.."Talent"..she's about that old school sheer enregy James Brown--Prince...Michael Jackson...no compromising when it comes to being original..

[dismissed7]

@eaglenation55 Why don't you like her? She is a breath of fresh air...she actually has some clothes on!

[bartdogggy]

@eaglenation55 your history of good music ends and begins with lady gaga and soulja boy, yuu-way! dipsh-t

[bartdogggy]

@eaglenation55 i'm sorry i forgot, originality is frowned upon in this America

[Superdaniel95]

i watched this video because i remember watching the espys with my friends and laughing our ass's off when she came on. so i watched to make fun of her, yes. not to troll. only reason i made my first comment was because I thought surley no one could like her. I guess I was mistaken.

[800mEric]

@Superdaniel95 what's so funny about her? i wish i had your sense of humor but this woman is immensely talented. she could do it all and she stays true to herself. like i said before you judge and make fun of her listen to the songs i said then judge her. i first didn't like but once i listened to her song and her message i knew this singer was special

[800mEric]

@Superdaniel95 for example her writing ability " I heed echos of your laughter in the corners of my mind

While I memorise each detail of your intricate design

In your hair there is a symphony

Your lips, a string quartet

They tell stories of a Neon Valley Street

Where we first met"

[Makgame325]

@800mEric That is the jam! ;)

[800mEric]

@Superdaniel95 and that's not even the full verse but that's an example of her writing ability another one is

"This man wants to see another jubilation

And that man wants us in emancipation

And then there is the man who wants a stronger nation

You see we really got to and i think that we ought to

Protect the mind from degradation

Sow in the seeds of education

They run from us, are we that dangerous?"

she very talented listen and get to know before you judge

[800mEric]

@Superdaniel95 and if this her her reply when laugh at for wearing a tux " Black and white tux, aint no need

For no other colors

Ta ta talking about, why dont she

Change her clothes?

Well they aint seem to mind

The last 3 times I posed in Vogue" and people who love pure untouched music love this woman. what make so awful i don't get it with u but what ever. and if people did like her nobody would have watched this video lol and if she was awful she wouldn't have won the ASCAP Vanguard Award

[KTBEverlasting]

@Superdaniel95 The only thing that's funny is your taste in music. This girl has good messages, sick beats and doesn't need to act or look like a slut to get an audience.

[KTBEverlasting]

@Superdaniel95 If u werent a racist, you wouldn't have to say it. But it's okay, you're young and not ready or not sophisticated to see the talent this woman has.

[800mEric]

@Superdaniel95 listen don't bring race into this for 1 thing and next time try to articulate your thoughts better u can't even provide a reason for her sucking just stfu!!! and stop watching this dam video. she the most talented singer to have come in years. her voice is very versatile,creativity,songwriti­ng,and message is above superb and amazing. your so stupid stfu and stop watching this dam video if this women sucks balls.

[bartdogggy]

@Superdaniel95 of course you would. you don't know real music from your nutsack.

[Superdaniel95]

its a combo of the johnny bravo hair, and i really just dont like her music, and yes i do have musical taste. just not the same as you, eric.

[800mEric]

@Superdaniel95 ok you may not like her but she not awful she could sing very very very very good you even have to admit and if you don't like her then why are watching this video i never watch or listen to the artists i hate or think sucks

[1marty006]

@superdaniel95....youre an idiot

[Superdaniel95]

WTF IS THIS? i remember watching the espys and wondering how the fuck this woman was? she is awful. and what is up with her hair?

[800mEric]

@Superdaniel95 do you have any good musical taste? janelle monae is amazing and is the best singer right now and future legend she very far from awful u must be tone death. if you think she awful. then listen to her rendition of smile. or her songs like sincerely jane,bobobayya,cold world,locked inside,and faster to name a few.

[800mEric]

@Superdaniel95 oh forgot to mention say you'll go and oh maker

[yeshmayn]
