I personally see someone with great songs, an amazing live performer and a driven artist with boundless energy.

She makes me smile.

Well that's a positive thing-if she works for you then that's cool. I just haven't gotten to that point with her yet lol

Did not know that. I've only seen her once, singing covers with Stevie Wonder. And this wasn't one of them.

Aye, she sang it at last years Rock In Rio, but i'm sure she was singing it before that, I think maybe around the time she was playing with Prince in NYC or something....someone will know the details better than me.

I'm sort of with nursev on this one. Although I do own her last Cd. And it's interesting. She still needs to grow and make things more her own. I still don't feel that she has completely found out who she is musically yet. And Tightrope is fun!

She only has one e.p, and one album available officially, give her a chance.

I'm curious now. What female artists do you like?

Janelle is very talented and I'm waiting for the next project to materialize. I can see why Prince and so many others want to work with her. She has great energy and a very good voice.

When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

I know that's why I said she needs to grow. I am hopeful.

Although sometimes her singing voice reminds me of Foster Sylvers, I think her style is cool.

It's kinda sad how ever since she appeared with Prince in 2010 her career has stalled.

In March 2012, "We Are Young", the song by the band Fun. on which Monáe makes a guest appearance, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, her first appearance in the US Top 10.

^I don't get the reference. That's not one of her songs. That's a "Fun" hit, on which she sang back-up for 5 seconds.

Alot more than u think and one's that have proven careers and talent. Just cuz a person is associated with Prince doesn't mean I automatically like them-doesn't work that way.

Showing her career hasn't exactly stalled. She's also working on a second album.

She is just totally effin' fabulous.
