    That album is outstanding. It blew my mind. It is the best album of 2010 so far…however, that munchkin needs to change up her outfit and hairstyle that she has worn since 2005.

  3. EXPOSED August 9, 2010

    SHE BETTER WIN BEST NEW ARTIST. NO GIMMICKS, STRAIGHT UP. FUN. LOVE THE JAMES BROWN INFLUENCE AND DANCING.

  4. EXPOSED August 9, 2010

    Ooops, janelle monae was already nominated for a grammy in 2007. Therefore, she cant be nom. for best new artist. LOL.

  5. Yvonne August 9, 2010

    @exposed, actually she is eligible for best new artist because she didn’t release a full length album till this year and she didn’t win in 2009.

    They changed the rules this year I think in order to make sure she was eligible 😉

    SHE BETTA WORK! I completely agree with what she said. & when you have talent, you don’t NEED theatrics, gimmicks & concepts to necessarily sell something, just raw talent 🙂

    I love this girl. go’on girl, do da damn thing.

    I still would’ve preferred for “Cold War” to have a more elaborate video, but as long as she did what she wanted to do, then more power to her. Although I did read on her Twitter that she initially had a different concept planned for the video.

    And I didn’t know she had ten to eleven more videos planned for this album? Wow, good for her, she’s really marching to the beat of her own drum. More reasons to love this girl.

    I recently heard samples from the ARCHANDROID and I was thinking WTF…. this is amazing! Now you know an album is great when you instantly love the album just after only hearing the samples of the songs! It blows my mind at how creative and unique it is. I have never heard nothing like that in my life. It’s so mixed with different genres and concepts. She’s IS CRAZY TALENTED AND SHE IS WORKING HER A** OFF! She really does inspire me as a young lady to accomplish whatever goals I wish to accomplish because look her how much she’s hustling? The album is no longer on the Billboard 200, and got little promotion in the beginning, but she’s still promoting the hell out of it unlike many lazy artists! You can tell she’s in it for the love of music and not the fame and glamour.
