Diddy w/ Janelle Monáe & the Wondaland Arts Society ( Photos by BEN ROSE/ Getty )
Saturday, Janelle Monáe celebrated the release of the first installment of her debut album, Metropolis at Sugarhill in downtown Atlanta, GA. Guests included Diddy, Big Boi, just to name a few. Not only was it a celebration, there was a killer live performance. Monáe performed songs from her first suite, The Chase as well as material that she will be releasing on future suites.
For more information on Janelle Monáe log on to her official site, janellemonae.com and to support Metropolis, make sure you log on to MySpace and cop the album from the official store.
She has a funky style which I like and I like her songs….Letting Go was my song, helped me get through some stuff…lol
ummmm ok i heard her stuff its coo.she got a different sound
FIRST!!! I LOVE Janelle Monae!!! I have been following her career for awhile now!!! Im so happy she is finally releasing an album!!!!!
HER MUSIC HER STYLE JUST EVERYTHING ABOUT HER IS GREAT. SHE IS THE BOMB
She ok!
she’s cool
I spy Brian.
Joi is absolutely gorgeous & statuesque. WOW!
Looks like a load of fun.
NEVER HEARD OF HER…..I MAD SHE BRUNG BACK THE OXFORDS FROM BACK IN THE DAYS THOUGH LOL.
That’s my boo… I mean shawty with that rooster hairstyle
but the rooster got shanked in the second pic
she looks so cool
DON’T LET PUFF GET NO WHERE NEAR HER MUSIC!!!! i can see it now…janelle giving a great performance and he all on the stage doing that stupid ass dance and chanting bad boy….CLOWN!
IM SORRY,SHE MAY BE TALENTED BUT SHE LOOKS A HOT MESS
I like her…she’s different in a good way!!!!
Janelle looks funky. I like that there are still some sisters out there willing to rock their hair naturally or short, instead of trying to be all Weavealicious. Less is more.
Do you girl. I like her.
She is refreshing. Her style is cool , she is giving an alternative to the everyday.
I love her hair, its so different. It’s good to see that all black women in entertainment don’t sport the extra-long lace wigs…i’m sooo over that look.
I like her swag…
She reminds me of Lauryn Hill…..
@# 18..you mean the Lauryn Hill from back in the day right????????????
She looks like the female version of Kanye West. I agree with Augusta. It is refreshing 2 C some1 bringing different flava 2 the game. Go girl!
Alright Brian….ICYA!!
She has some great music. Everybody look nice.
I am not into the retro look. I hope she’s more than a one hit wonder!
Looks like they all had fun.
Pretty Face, Nice Voice, No Comment on The Rest!
Everything about this chick is wack.
Her style, her music and even the so called “professional” artist she’s hanging out with (P-Dummy and Big Oy).
As a matter of fact, that last pic looks like a reunion of all the nerdy kids that use to get beat up in high school.
I guess if you don’t have talent a gimmick is the next best thing. Hey, it worked for Cassie.
Damn, #26, lol, tell us how you really feel.
Her style looks different but I like her.
Miss Monae is repping for the my hometown so I have to support!
best wishes!!!!
ummmm what do she sing…I’m totally lost on this chick.
Ms.Monae stay away from diddy he turns sugar into shit.
I WISH I HEARD A SONG FROM HER THAT I WAS FEELLIN…
THAT VIOLET STARS SONG THAT WAS POSTED WAS NOT CRACKIN.
She is a little too werid for me
Something else:
Snippets of both Kanye’s and 50’s albums leaked!!!
Graduation easily destroys Curtis!
interesting. I’ll have to give it a listen. lol @ people claiming first comment but are not.

That’s my boo… I mean shawty with that rooster hairstyle
but the rooster got shanked in the second pic
ROFL!!
I hope she’s not signed to BadBoy otherwise by this time next year no one’s gonna remember who she is.
Janelle looks cute and her music is something different .(ALWAYS welcome) She recalls Kelis for me, in that she’s individual and doesn’t give a shit about trends and what people think. Kelis is one of my favourite artists for that I might peep this girl’s album too.
Joi Gilliam be on some zombie shit, she looks awful, to think I used to have a crush on her!
I am not too sure about this, but um did she first come out with redman and meth. She had that one song. Round and around we go or something? 50 re-did the song”Everywhere I’m at everywhere I stay surrounded by hoes?”
Well, dont they look special
Her image seems contrived, and that damn pompadour needs to go…it looks terrible. Brian, you could’ve dressed better for that damn party ::::smh::::
i like this chick. that violet stars song has been on my playlist for months. i don’t think she’s weird but that’s probably b/c ppl think i’m weird. i can see why ppl compare her to kelis but imo kelis is not an original chick and janelle is.
Interesting. She’s like a Black Bjork. I like what she’s doing. It’s refreshing that another singer isn’t coming out on the whole Beyonce thing yet again.
I love her style. Its so funky and different. She’s like the female Andre 3000.
hmmm….i like her but style her music is aaight but Janelle better blow up soon or something coz all this constant CL promotion is starting to wear thin…..
never heard her music… like her style….
she needs more publicity or i need to start watching more TV… does she have a music video?
lmao! please ignore the first ‘but’
I love her look and her nappy rooster hairstyle. I need to learn how to do somethin like that cause all I can do is twists/twistouts, cornrows, and frowhawks.
Brian, why you got on shorts at an album release party? you could of dressed it up a bit..
Reppin KC! who be next from the City?????? Only time will tell!(cough, cough)
You stay in the mix..Lil Harold……..We love you!
@ #40…. no, that was Jonelle
i love her “violets” song. pretty serious, i heard it on
my friends page a whiiiile back. she’s bangin.
Brian u was there too ?
i mean thats like really cool, i wish i was there. lol
love this girl Janelle & her style !!
i love her music….her fasion and music style is like no other…got to love it.

Here’s some real music by an actual singer. Not Cassie or Christina Milian.
I’m glad she has her own style she’s pretty 2 me!
