Im sorry Im still trippin on this song and video. Its so refreshing to see someone put out something that sounds like this. Even my mother loves it!
3:07 and 3:19 crazzzy.

Don't be its a GREAT video/song(and I'm more excited to hear the Broadway influnced tune she did in the album though).

As for the video, I can't read the words in the paper @ the end knowing Janelle, I'm sure this video has its share of subliminal messages that are discussed as we speak.

So when does her new album drop?

She looks strange. NO one wants to see a woman dressed like a man and dancing like one. ITs UNAPPEALING! and she looks crazy. No one is going to buy her garbage and she wont last.

She sounds like Frankie Limone and looks like a a little boy with make up.

This person looks strange.

This is dope. this sound like little stevie's fingertips.

I was liking this song until "dong in a ass crack", too bad that rap interlude brings the whole song down to that level

That is bad ass. Love it.

I said the same thing in the last thread about her here. Sometimes she sounds JUST LIKE him.

I'm starting to like her style though. I wasn't a fan at first, but I think I'm becoming one. She's way cooler than Lady Gaga and Rihanna, lol.

TotalAlisa said:

This so funny. She looks strange? Hellloo Lady Ga Ga. Looks Strange? Hello
Micahel Jackson. Look at all the comments you silly girl, your the only negative
one. I know your not valid when you dont say one word about the song itself.

all these videos out now are just so blatantly demonic. And this creature isn't any better then lady gaga or rihanna. What are those TWO black hood beings supposed to represent???? It was following her throughout the video. And in the begining the video reads:

"The palace of the dogs. Asylum. Dancing has long been forbidden for its subversive effects on the residents and its tendency to lead to illegal magical practices. "

What is this supposed to mean, and also those two men in the beginning of the video were practicing witch craft.

It has an old woman's body. Im just imagining her on her menstrual cycle dancing like a man. :lol

She looks very strange, like a boy. I can't remember but i saw her on tv. My sister and I had to stop and stare because she looks very strange. Its like she is trying to be a boy. A YOUNG boy around the age of 14 years old. If she were a boy I could see that creature maybe going far.

The song is OKAY! YES michael jackson did look strange after all his surgery. YES i do love him.

But that does not take away from this boyish looking girl.

TotalAlisa said:

You dont like her? Since you think she looks like a little boy
I bet Michael would love her

Yeah, he might have. He told that Rabbi dude he liked girls who are slightly "tomboys." And if he saw Monae doing the Moonwalk forward in that "Many Moons" video, I bet he was cracking up, LOL.

Looking at her though, I think that suit and hair is just a gimmick for attention. She's so small, I guess that's her only way to stand out (similar to Prince). If she tried to dress "normally," or insane like Gaga/Rihanna, she wouldn't be noticed, so she wears the odd suit like a uniform. It's not working too well though, since I think most people agree with TotalAlisa. Straight men can look like women all day and be loved, but it's hard for people to accept straight women who dress like men.

Great video! I prefer "Cold War", but this makes me like "Tightrope" a lot, too! Can't wait for the album.

I don't care what she's wearing or what she looks like. She's a contemporary artist that's actually making funky music I can dance to, and that's what matters to me. I love the simultaneously retro and futuristic vibe of "Tightrope".

I love it all except for Big Boi's rap, I'm sorry to say.

TotalAlisa said:

Garbage?!

Have you even heard her music?!

Her clothes, her hairstyle, it's a CHARACTER because the album has a storyline

also, Michael was an influence on her, listen to this song

MICHAEL JACKSON IS F**KING DEAD!!!! LEAVE HIM ALONE. My goosh the jokes are NOT FUNNY OR CUTE. you are just ASSHOLE.

TotalAlisa said:

If I was an asshole MJ would probably like me more then you.
Im sorry that was uncalled for...
But really, Im concerned that your musical taste has been corrupted.
I mean you are seeing demons and devils. Did you even listen to the lyrics?
They are uplifting in all of her songs. In fact this song is about keeping your balance in this crazy world, Something that MJ "God rest his soul" wasnt able to do. Maybe good music confuses you after you have been fed so much crap.
Your not used to lyrics that mean something, actual chord changes with real musicians, a beautiful girl that wont take her clothes off for you in any of her videos and shake her ass. So I dont blame you, you'll get it one day.

P.S. Comparing her voice to Frankie Lymon is not an insult at all, more of a compliment.

Michael Jackson had songs that were uplifting.

I heard a verse in the song were she said, "put some vodoo on me" THAT IS NOT UPLIFTING. Those two beings dressed in black following her around. What were they supposed to be then. Cause i saw two men in the beginning practicing witch craft. That song is NOT uplifting. Its a big disguise because it had some kind of deeper meaning then we even know.

and NO MICHAEL JACKSON WOULD NOT LIKE YOU MORE.

Am I missing the irony? You're on a Prince fan page.

I'm feeling this.

and a zombie with CLEAN white socks

Her stuff has been hit or miss to me, but I absolutely love this song and video. And she's a real cutie.
