  • I feel that creating this world in which android are stereotyped is drawing more of a parallel to that people, in general, are stereotyped, not just black people.

    I think she's using a character like Cindi Mayweather to draw on that people who are discriminated against, for whatever reason, feel like their humanity is devalued as a result. If so, then it's a very intelligent way of communicating something deep through popular culture and I applaud her for it.

  • buy the album. support real music.

  • Oh My God !!! she is so beautiful more than i can say.. long live .......nothing to say. Bless

  • look at her... she's hot...

    listen to her... she's beautiful...

  • Janelle Monae is such a wonderful artist. The ArchAndroid album was incredible.

  • i saw her live;D

  • @aky19832001 I think she will change after Suite IV who will close Cindi M saga...if you see in fact before the saga begin she had a totally different look...and who cares about sexuality? Sources say she's not lesbian but I see an old interview and she was saying she has a lot of gay friends and she supports them...

  • I wanna feel her hair.

  • @Rozyonnie I could care less. I've been in the industry for a while now. " This character she created will be too hard for her to maintain in the long run. Her sexual orientation remaining anonymous is a smart move, leaving her open to both sexes, as long as she is not linked up to any males or females publicly than she is going to be ok. I don't think this is her true personality she rehearsed her back ground story many times, so much so that she repeats same manersims while explaining.

  • @aky19832001 so what if she was a lesbian? her music is still awesome, who cares.

  • Shes put some time into creating her charactor. Lets see if she can keep it up. She needs to come out closet and say shes a lesbian.

  • @Y3LLOW11 well put. She's great, different and love her music.
