"Being a queer black woman in American,"

She's not half as interesting as she thinks she is.

if you say so.

I tend to agree with this statement, but that doesn't mean I don't like her. She seems lovely and sweet. I'm glad she's come out. Good for her.

Matty, get with it.

Not into her music, but I dig her frankness. Good for her and her girlfriend.

Her Music is just like Prince?

...Prince sure did attract em...

I wonder how he would react if she came out when he was alive

I think he knew she was bisexual honestly. givin' them what they love (with him on it) has her singing about a woman in the end and also queen. In Janelle's music there were already lyrics about her liking both men and women before this album and he knew her personally so I suspect he knew.

He sure seems to have done, with all the speculation about Andy and others flying around on LSA currently

But yeah, he must have known about Janelle.

Andy is bisexual too? Maybe it was required to enter in his circle.

Good for her. Given the majority of her audience are african american though, her sexual orientation will unfortunately have more impact on her album sales than she wanted it to... Frank Ocean got to ride the mainstream wave for a brief amount of time but look what eventually happened to him.

A lot of her fans are gay though or very open minded. His not so much and people are not that hard on bisexual women as they are with bi/gay men, especially black men.

i completely agree...her music is bland, she's cute, but she has an awkward presence about her.. better off as an actress, than a musician, from what ive seen of her acting and heard from her "singing"

Awkward is her thing! Quirky! Herky jerky dancing! Barky jarring vocals!

... i can dig that thats her lane, but i prefer my fav female artists to be softer, smoother and curvier and more sensual.... with a little bit of ratchetness mixed in for added flavor...

I like her songs 50-50.

You and me both. I will listen to BRIA VALENTE before I listen to Janelle Monae.

So why I keep seeing you in all her threads?

Because she is simply everywhere right now, and I feel I have to participate in the discussion. I didn't start the thread though.
