    Can we admire the cool confidence of Janelle Monae for a moment? A button on her shirt popped and she fixes it with no big fan fare. She doesn't even react, she just buttons it back while she puts on her cardigan. It's the little things, you know?

I was already excited because this was Oscar night. But this was the perfect welcome. By the time she rose from the floor at 4:54 and the music amplified, you could actually feel the energy. l was clapping with the rest of the audience. Thank you, Miss. Monae!!!!

    Janelle is just a great example of how you can have a soothing and sweet voice but powerful at the same time.

    I've seen so many different performances from her over her career I feel grateful. I'll never forget my 1st one tho. It was $12 show outside of Atlanta & I drove from NYC for back in 07 or 06. She was just as gracious and amazing then. I love her.

      Harmonie M I run into so many people who don’t know that Janelle sings. I’m like always sharing her music with people. Metropolis and ArchAndroid are my favs. People have been sleeping on her incredible talent!!
