[shasanni]

her skin is flawles.....

[JoniG92]

ughh i LOVE HER!!!

archandroid. cindi mayweather. 57821. wondaland arts society. thrivals !!!

i luv it all<3

im glad she joined bad boy records to get her name out there- nd yet stayed loyal to her wondaland arts <3

[SoapSudz101]

shes come so far!

[womangirlman]

she's one of the the most intelligent artists today. she's all about improv. and i think that's really important in the industry right now.

[TwilightTsukasa]

@shasanni I know, right? I'm in love with her complexion! <3

[EyeWearMySunglasses]

@Broyale26 the thing is Janelle is smart shes not wet behind the ears when it comes to deal and money. Diddy said he heard her and liked what he heard, I honestly think she does appeal to his intellectual/true artistry side. Janelle said it herself that she felt being in partnership with him would giver her the exposure she needs. So i dont know. I still dont think she is as popular as she could be but then again shes not singing about "oooh baby .. "i love you baby..dont leave me baby".. lol

[phatrabbit07]

Janelle Monae is great with interviews. She's so sophisticated and well spoken. On another note, the host's name/stage name is "Rape Whistle".

[slye1991]

[birinbirinbirin]

umm shes not punk shes more pop she comes on the same radio stations as lady gaga

[dressjess]

She is so incredible, and she has a nice voice. Both when singing and talking.
