She is one of the most talented and authentic R&B/Soul artists to come around for a long time. Right up there with Alicia Keys for me. Except Alicia doesn't get you jazzed up the way Janelle does.
While I recognize that she is one of the few (semi) famous artists out today that don't lip sync live, I can't help but think live she doesn't sound good and she's kind of gimmicky.
We need to save this type of music. I consciously buy her albums and those of similar artists. It's about time we claim music's true heritage before it gets lost forever. She and the few others may be our last hope.
I hope she doesn't make it mainstream. The music industry is so corrupt that they'll oversex her image and songs to get more fame and money. She has too much intelligence and creativity to get turned into a sex object, although I do think she is sexy and beautiful in a natural, classy, and elegant way (unlike these mainstream artists).
"If you wanna be free Below the ground's the only place to be" One of the lyrics from her song "Cold War"
Oh, and to the comments saying she won't make it in the states because the 'kids' don't appreciate good music today over there. I say ridiculous. If she doesn't make it there, we'll take her over here in Ireland, the UK and Europe. ;)
The people on here saying this girl won't make it maintstream because she doesn't have strong vocal ability are either idiots or deaf. The girl is ON TOP of her game and has some ridiculous vocals here! I think better than a lot of other female singers around today. People are mistaking her personality for inability. Keep your eyes on her, she is gonna be huge!
You just gotta love her. Im so glad i saw her show in Finland. I mean this show surely is not bad, but man, she was a real firecracker in finland =) Larger than life itself. God bless.
lot of people arguingabout this. if its any consolation, i had never heard of her and saw her at glasto and thought she was fantastic. thats as much as ive looked into how she can and cant do this, because frankly i have better things to do. i just like the music.
Beyonce will over dominate her talent because she will want all of the attention and creditably, its obvious, also physically if they were on stage they will clash not to mention dancing styles as well. Anyone who does a duo with Beyounce needs to be very careful and must match her on ever level so that they are not purposely outshine by having the her be the center of attention.
BTW I support artistist like Janelle, but the truth is obvious and in the pudding as they say. Shes played her cards well by making her life private and her sexuality, shes played it smart by being affiliated with Diddy ON HER OWN TERMS. Her next move will be to get involved maintstream but not by creating a skimp
y video, but by being involved in a duo with a heavy hitter who has some creditably, Beyounce IS NOT ONE OF THEM, I would say Alicia keys, Mary J, maybe even Mariah.
@lovingklimt The answer is not based on full potential talent, shes can sing, big deal. I can go do any given black church on a sunday and find someone who is more vocally talented then she is. Mark my words and feel free to message me latter on and agree with me.
She hasn't caught on maint stream for a reason, She may prove to be effective behind scenes, but as it currently stands she has nothing to offer to make her maintastream.
@aky19832001 If you're saying she can't make it mainstream because her vocals aren't solo material, I would like to point to Fergie who made it mainstream with a crappy voice. Janelle doesn't have a ton of straight-up vocal ability but she is talented and has a great ear for production. Most importantly, she's a visionary which is something you could say about very few others in the business.
@aky19832001 you dumb idiot. not unique??? unlike all the 1000s of people popular who are popular in america she can actually a) sing b) does not rap c) uses a band that the ability to play their instruments rather than to use their laptops. she doesnt flash her cleavage or wear meat skirts to get attention. but she is already pretty popular that she can continue what she is doing without worrying about the money.
@Adriat1c I speak from experience. She has nothing in her arsenal to make her popular or last in the music industry as a popular artist. She will non the less make a sucessfull producer and behind the scenes.
@aky19832001 you're just dumb, no point in discussion with you when you are so clueless. as i said she is already popular enough, she doesnt need to be as popular as lady gaga, justin bieber and other fame whores.
@Adriat1c she is already popular...she's not a sell out artist...I agree with Adriatic...and she's a killer live performer she doesn't lack of nothing and please don't even put her in the same sentence with people like Bibier, Gaga Rihanna and other shit artists....
The best act at Glasto this year. Stumbled upon her by accident while buying a brothers cider and threw my pint away and danced my arse off. Top bird. Peace and love X
I love her so much. It's about the music, not how she looks and that's amazing. Not many female artists get to do something like this with so much control over their art!
This young lady has the lot. The voice, the moves, and the looks, not to mention a very accomplished band. I'm sorry to say Beyonce but this beautiful talent blew you out of the water.
Glad people are starting to notice what an incredible artist and performer Janelle is. I watched her live in Birmingham in February and was blown by her perfomance and since been converting friends onto her music.. This women is amazing. If u really want to get into her music, download her album the ArchAndroid. One of my favourite album of 2010.
Great to see Janelle is finally getting the reception she deserves in the UK at last!. I first found her in a Mashup with Nancy Sinatras "The Boots Are Made For Walking". I was surprised to see she has only been a download success here. Maybe soon this will translate in CD sales.
Best concert I've seen at Glasto this year. What a fantastic show! Loved every minute. And damn, I love that girl. Voice, dancing, charism, style... breathtaking.
It's truely a beautiful event I saw here - all beit on BBC, Well done for a superb coverage, Beeb. It was pure theatre from the silhouettes, the mesmeric string section, the soulful horns, the funky drummer, the psychedelic keyboard player, the rocky guitarist and, last but by no means least, the supreme ringmaster nay wizard of this happening: Janelle.
Mo' Monáe, please!
p.s. to those lazy journos: don't categorise this group using the traditional genres - just try no category at all!
Is there somewhere to see all the songs that were aired? Or was there only one song aired? I need to track down the full thing if the whole concert was aired.
was in this audience and i've got to say it was one of the most amazing things i've ever seen and heard. everybody was going mental!!! you can hear there reaction in this in this video but you really needed to be in the audience to understand how amazing this was!! thank you janelle monae for an amazing experience.
I was first introduced to Janelle Monae at the 2010 Pop conference in Seattle. Her speech and how she approaches music blew me away. So much given back to the community..
Thank you Janelle for an electrifying performance, and for showing the UK (and the rest of the world) what you're all about. n thank you Glastonbury for giving her the biggest festival platform for her to bring her music and performance too. Hopefully everyone can get up to speed now on this wonderful talent. Better late than never eh people!
I told all my friends with glasto tickets to go and see this, it'll be the best gig of the festival. I got a call after she'd finished from two of them delighted. Shes's an icon in the making. Everything that makes pop music great is right here. phenomenal.
does anyone has her performance of come alive dat gurl killed it couldn't even watch coldplay was busy dancing alone to come alive. Mad mad performance
She crosses numerous genres effortlessly and meticulously. Anita Baker, James Brown, Billie Holiday, Sandie Shaw, 50's rockabilly, intelligent Stevie Wonder style soul, Prince, 30's-style big band/ bepob jazz, lavish orchestration...She can do it all, but the end result is stunningly original. Monae's performance at Glastonbury is one of those epiphenal moments in rock music - stunning.
this is musically and visually stunning! she has an amazing voice, and what a great band! seeing this was, like many others the first time i've seen janelle, but it wont be the last......
@Tech3000i I'm so happy that people like you (and others) are discovering her. It just makes me sad that everyone looked past her when her album was out. It had good enough promotion and fantastic reviews!
never heard of her before watching the band on bbcthree last night, what a brilliant show ! if only i'd had the dvd recorder ready, i hope someone puts up the other songs they showed.
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn right, its about goddamn time!
I was lucky enough to catch her live earlier this year, but Ms Monae has definatly left her mark at Glasto this year.
Like you said, glad people have caught up!

Which stage did she perform at?

This is the most epic performance I have ever seen at Glastonbury. Most of the crowd have never seen her before and they lap her up.
Already a legend among musical artists.
