I LOL at a master in the studio comment. She needs a writer fast, so she can cap on this media hype | |

Trust me, she's so genuine in person, and I was lucky to have met her last week. Katie Kinisky: "So What Are The Latest Dances, Nell?"

I hate revisionist history. Smile was not a defining moment for MJ's career. Well, till after his death. Space for sale... | |

Same. I don't think we've had one of those in while. | |

I think she is overrated. A good dancer but her voice annoys me. I don't like how she never names mj as an influence even if she names james brown. She's a fucking liar. | |

I like MJ and all but some people need to stop acting like everyone needs to love him. | |

Man, I know!! I don't even think MJ is all that. He's had the same damn boring ass songs in rotation for 20+ years, come on now. But back To Janelle...I LOVE her. Fuck MJ. | |

Even tho Janelle Monae doesn't have to list MJ as an infulence , Mj deserves ALL the credits he getting and he deserves even more....... MICHAEL JACKSON

I don't like how every thread on here becomes an MJ discussion.
I respect your point of view, but damn what happened to respect for the dead?
Whatever. Lets keep the focus on Janelle.

That would be nice, but unless she's going to be controversial and half naked most of the time, she might not reach Gaga level. Hopefully she'll have a long career. "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

Bottom line is she is paying homage to one of the originators, who was James Brown. That's all that matters. "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

She never names Prince either, which is even more puzzling. All she ever says is James Brown, Judy Garland, and Shirley Bassey. She's just like some others: Will name artists from the 30s-60s who "inspire" them instead of the artists they impersonate from the 70s-90s.

I'm gonna say this once, because I don't think it's been said on here before, MICHAEL JACKSON IS NOT, NOR WILL HE EVER BE GOD, JESUS, OR BUDDHA. GET OFF HIS DICK.
