  3. Robier July 25, 2010

    Luv Hurrr!!!!

    I wouldn’t say she is this Generation’s James Brown, but simply Janelle. All these comparisons only tarnish her uniqueness. Her album is a gem in today’s industry. I can’t wait to hear what she’s going to next.

  5. thekiddz July 25, 2010

    *do next*

    i love her Janelle,she did fantastic with the prince tribute

  7. True Blue July 25, 2010

    I agree with The Kiddz. It’s not that she can’t be as good as James or the other legendary artists she’s been compared to, it’s that she’s truly her own person. She’s not a copy or a version of anyone else, she’s just herself. Which is so refreshing in an era where everyone swagger-jacks each other and tries on a different image every five minutes because they don’t have an identity.

    There’s nothing about her similar to James Brown but her dancing. Her album is a freakin’ masterpiece. Lovez her!

    Janelle Monae >>>>>>

    i dont get why Diddy isn’t pushing her more…….. instead of his Last Train To Flop album
    ………..and all his other artist…. why isn’t anybody doing anything while he is prepping his album

    They shouldn’t set these artists up for a fall like this, calling them the next this, or that. Noting the influence is fine, and we all know she expresses that influence very well, but her career is still fresh.

  12. thekiddz July 25, 2010

    Ok, for the last time; Janelle has her own label.

  13. EXPOSED July 25, 2010

    MEHHH, SHE’S JUST A KID. NOTHING SHE’S DONE I HAVENT SEEN BEFORE. THO SHE ACTS LIKE SHE’S ON UPPERS ON STAGE.

  14. Tron July 25, 2010

    I love her but when I tell you I am soooooo tired of that suit honey! omg! Where is my match?

  15. S*** July 25, 2010

    meh, shes OK for me, I still think her album is over rated being that only a select few sngs are worth mentioning. But she is a fresh talent, a decent singer & performer & shes also creative & original for the most part. Glad shes getting more exposure. I wish both her & Solange Knowles the best of luck. Yay for the UNDER DOGS.

    from the hair to the make-up to the outfit…can’t she afford a new look? she’s looked this pretentiously made up since 2005.

  17. S*** July 25, 2010

    I guess her signature performance style consist of some “James Brown tapping” & moving across the stage as if one has turrets judging by her BET Awards performance. The BET Awards was good this year for a change compared to the last two, a mess.

  18. iLaugh! July 25, 2010

    She’s definitely underrated! Great artists, I hope she goes FAR in her career!

    I noticed Jermaine Dupri’s name on the cover too! Anybody been over to Sandra Roses’ website cuz she goin on in him. Apparently he threatened to have his goons kill her off some a negative post she did a couple days ago. #interesting

  22. howw July 26, 2010

  23. git it July 28, 2010
