[zakarijus1]

@colgatiN12 this is only means shes not famous enough to get a lot of haters :)

[noedief481]

I just think the guitar solo is not appropriate for the song. Her voice is too awesome!

[sodaglam]

I love Janelle Monae, but the poor thing keeps crying every time she sings this song

[sexyboyxoy]

@sodaglam that's cause only her knows what is behind this sonG! she created it! there's not many like her...

[webkahmik]

Hilariously intense, tha fact that the CHASE "FREEDOM" advert is hovering over these proceedings...I would say ironic, but its beyond that even...INCROYABLE PERFORMANCE!!!!!!

[EmmaxxMaguire]

I just love her. She's fabulous.

[idoitforthehonor]

[UltraKampfkruemel]

The man on the guitar .. andre3000 maybe?

[2MinutesToMidnightt]

@UltraKampfkruemel No, that's Kalindo. That's why she screams Kalindo in the song before his guitar solo.

[Inspirmentalist]

one of my favorite songs from her. i love her.

[thinka1]

I'm fighting for Janelle to become big! Her voice is freaking amazing.

[shrevestylist314]

what is her deal with singing with her eyes closed?

[DANTEKING24]

@shrevestylist314 THIS IS A VERY EMOTIONAL DEEP SONG TO HER AND JUST A DEEP SONG ALL THE WAY AROUND

[ufewl]

@shrevestylist314 she actually sings with her mouth.

[Tavasion]

Kallindo is the baddest mutherfucker in the land.

[meezymillionz]

so she had me in tear on this song

[DANTEKING24]

@meezymillionz  mAN ME 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Xalicat]

She cries like that in her music video, so I dont know if its real

[sisterplanet]

@Xalicat I'm usually a skeptic too, but she doesn't always cry when she does this song. Also, I don't think she's THAT good an actress--it's easy to squeeze out some tears, but she really had to reel herself in.

[sisterplanet]

@Xalicat I'm usually a skeptic too, but she doesn't always cry when she does this song. Also, I don't think she's THAT good an actress--it's easy to squeeze out some tears, but she really had to reel herself in, that was raw emotion.

[AndyBlinkBlink]

@sisterplanet Well, before she went to a theatrical school

[perenellette]

does she cry every time and at the same part? not that i mind, it makes it better..

[rameriz92]

@perenellette i could understand why she always cry at point because you could really feel the song around that part. the emotions are so far into it that it results in her crying.

[DaBigPear]

@perenellette She did not cry at the grammy's... this was just a personal an emotional performance... so personal it made me cry too.

[bryoceans]

Incredible!

Janelle is oozing with ungodly talent.

Powerful performance, and Kellindo is pretty damn good too!

[iluvladiayates]

how does she just shake it off like that

[motplove]

damn, this made me tear up when she started to break down. Such a wonderful performance!

[datdboy89]

My God!! Can't get no realest than this!! She's the TRUTH with the voice & message!!!

[bblaynee]

[jonaahthan]

this is crazy insanely beautiful.. jaw-dropping!

[pixiegrrl69]

her singing is breath taking beautiful and haunting at the same time. her lyrics hold alot of meaning to her and when she sings " i'm trying to find my peace .i was made to believe there was something wrong with me and it hurts my heart " those are some powerful words that still resonate alot of emotions with janelle. makes me wanna give her a BIG ((((HUG))))

[fishgul69]

@pixiegrrl69 I feel you on every word you said. to add, when she sings the words you quoted, I am reminded of feeling that way in my past. that part of the song always makes me cry. it's refreshing to know that another artist in this arena could feel as much and it reflects wholeheartedly in their music.

[kenyagirl2009]

@pixiegrrl69 i like when she says being alone is the only way to be when you step outside which is basically when you are different or do things that are different in society you will be outcasted.
