Janelle Monae Wins Her First Award!!!!

She is so lovely...it's taken awhile for her music and style to grow on me but I finally dig her. Are those perfect teeth or what?

Grammy week is poppin right now and Janelle Monae already won her first award!

Last night (February 9, 2011), the 25 year old recording artist was honored at the second annual Essence “Black Women in Music” event at the Playhouse Hollywood in Los Angeles, California.

Janelle poses on the red carpet with the two men who helped launch her career, Sean “Diddy” Combs and Antwan “Big Boi” Patton.

Big Boi and Janelle have collaborated on quite a few songs, including “Tightrope” [official video] from Janelle’s The ArchAndroid album and “Be Still” (one of my personal favs) from Big’s Sir Lucious Leftfoot project, but most aren’t aware that it was Big who introduced Janelle to Diddy… and the rest is history.

Janelle spoke about it at length during a private listening session for The ArchAndroid last year.

After receiving the honor, Monae thanked both stars for giving “a girl from Kansas” a shot. Monae is nominated for best contemporary R&B album for her debut CD, “The ArchAndroid” and best urban/alternative performance for “Tightrope” with Big Boi.

Lots of celebs come out to support Janelle, including Leona Lewis, Melonie Fiona, Musiq Soulchild, Anthony Hamilton, Estelle & More.

clapping Congrats to Janelle. She definitely deserves it and I'm so glad her music is being recognized. She did win a BET award as well. Now I hope she wins a Grammy.

I forgot she won a BET Award.

Now see...we need more artists like her and less of the Ke$ha's and Katys. CiCi, though I like her, can sit her ass down for awhile too.

Congrats!

Her work really deserves LOTS of awards. Especially if compared to the rubbish that's being done nowadays.

she deserves far more of an audience than she has gotten. Between her videos and music she really is a visionary artist and risk taker which we seem to be in short supply of these days.
