Well, it's okay. Nothing I would buy.

Thanks.

I love it -- "ain't no order in this courtroom," LOL. It's been a really long time since I've been as excited about a current artist as I am about her. I think it has mainstream potential, although I love Q.U.E.E.N. even more.

GREAT song..gonna be a hit..it fits right in with the retro vibe that's on the charts right now

right? this song has hit written all over it!!..and she was at 106 and park yesterday on BET shaking that ass like there wasn't tomorrow .. she is always such a ball of energy.. a true amazing live performer...

I hope you're right. I really want this girl to win. The cover girl commercial she has featuring this song is good promotion and of course any good live performances doesn' hurt.

Nice

I don´t really get Janelle Monae. Her look, her sound, her whole attitude....not that I´m hating ... ....but I really don´t understand what makes her so popular. To each his own I guess.

I hear what she's doing , I see what she's doing but I don't feel what she's doing. I feel and can get into Badu and the others, but Janelle I haven't got there. She just doesn't have a song that has hit me, maybe in time she will.

not really feelin it. its okay, but not great. queen was better.

I just read that this video is just a part inside of a mini movie and in the movie janelle plays different characters including the leading one ( not included in the video of the song) named lisa cage....

It's official I'm totally in love with her..

I like it Fun video, I was entertained. And the song is super catchy! Has great big-hit potential I like that she changed up her look for this video too.

for the new hairdo alone. FINALLY!!!

Fun song and cute video indeed. Btw when is she ever releasing Electric Lady as a single? She's been performing that song for more than a year now, I thought for sure that was gonna be her first single...Not that I'm complaining though. QUEEN & Dance Apocalyptic both get thumbs up from me

the third single will be a slow song with miguel but I agree that the title track is an amazing track too..

To each his own I guess. She's on popular here. Everyone else pays her dust.Personally, she's starting to annoy me. The whole “Oh, edgy! different! stay true to myself!” act is tired and gets boring after a while.

she is what she is...she is edgy because a lot of creative persons are like that...I know people aren't used to the huge creativity of real artists anymore..but her edginess/ creativity is an asset not a flaw in my book..

Straight rip off of, OutKast, "Hey Ya"... Maybe, this is the issue I have with her. It's one thing to have then as one of you look up to, it's a totally different issue to copy their style...

but she is one of the most original artists out there she is her own persona..I have this problem with Miguel and D'angelo for example I only see Prince when I look and listen to them..but speaking about the hey ya video outkast "stole" it from the beatles so as you can see nothing is original in music...

When I see her,I just see somebody trying so hard to be different and stand out, that she ends up looking the same as those who she is trying to separate herself from.... [Edited 7/2/13 18:30pm]

I know exactly what you mean.

So you prefer artists who basically replicate what is "supposed" to be "hot" at the time?

Uh... Outkast put her on. It's more than likely she was influenced by them both.

but I see her being different from the ones she wants to separate herself from...strange you don't see the difference with other female contemporary artists

I like that she FINALLY changed up her look in the video, but I still don't like the song.

Who exactly does she look like?

She doesnt look like Rihanna, Beyonce, Gaga, Perry, Adele and so forth. She doesnt make the type of music that they make as well. She doesnt perform or sound the same as them. She doesnt wear her hair or clothes the same as them. So how exactly does she look similiar to them?

Did you ever stop to think that maybe Janelle is different because she simply is and not necessarily because she is trying to be?

If you watch her interviews where she talks about her influences, her childhood, her creativity, inspirations, music, etc you can clearly see that this girl is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from the rest of the other female artists out today. She actually has her head on right and seems to sincerely enjoy making creative music. She has alot of wisdom despite her age. She is also very articulate unlike her other female peers. Dont see how anybody can get a contrived nature about what she does. She is a very fun loving, strong and intelligent woman from what I see
