her style is very different, i like it.

and look at tyra!!! lookin like somebodys mama lol.

I love Janelle’s music! It looks like lots came out and showed her love!

Janelle is cool but Im not feeling the whole “signing with Bad Boy records” thing

She is the bizness but them played out Charlie Brown shoes are not….

I think that very Janelle interesting (in a good way), also I don’t like the way Tyra has that baby hair out in the front of her head, what’s going on

Janelle is cool but Im not feeling the whole “signing with Bad Boy records” thing

Janelle, in the long run…your career could suffer but enjoy it for the time being.

She is the bizness but them played out Charlie Brown shoes are not….

She signed with Bad Boy? Really? Diddy only cares for himself. This will not end well for her. Remeber Shine, Dream, 112, Total, Mase?

AND Tyra is killing me with that fake baby hair! She looks good though!

Lol @ fake baby hair…She still looks nice tho…

i love janelle!
she is so different and eccentric!
kudos to good music

Janelle deserves to SHINE! She is what the music industry needs!

I AM SOOO FUCKING OVER HER OUTFIT!! SHE WEARS IT EVERY
FUCKING
SINGLE
SOLITARY
DAY!

I know CL loves this chick but now that she’s with Bad Boy, I hope they get her a new outfit… sheeeeez!

LAMO@ Number 11

I was about to same thing. I mean goddamn, would it kill you to switch it up…even a little?

i like janelle monae. she brings a totally different energy than most people in the game right now. she’s always in the AUC and she has a beautiful spirit. i’ve seen her perform with no one paying her any attention and she still had great energy and was not diva…diddy’s trying to scoop up everyone huh.

LOL @ #12!!!!
New outfit… LOL
I was thinking how tired I was of her outfit too, but I didnt state it that way! LMBAO!!!

In all fairness, she is usually in a black skirt and a white top. This time, she is wearing WHITE PANTS and a BLACK jacket. Still the same stupid hairstyle, though. I think someone has to be weird to keep wearing the same shit like that over and over again. it makes me scared of them and not really interested in getting to know them or their music.

I’ve never heard any of her music. But I’m tired of seeing her in this uniform striking crazy poses. I guess she isn’t comfortable in the lime light as yet. If she doesn’t switch up her gear, and with her signing with BB, her career won’t be long.

See, y’all are so mad about her outfits that you didnt even notice that she is wearing two different outfits in these pics. BLACK PANTS and WHITE SHIRT in the top pics
BLACK jACKET and white pants in the pic on the couch.

I don’t get her style…

I’ve head of her musict, it’s good! But working with Puffy makes me uneasy.

I will admit I wasn’t feeling Janae’s music I heard posted on blogs at first, but out of boredom one day I went to her Myspace one day and I started liking what I heard on her page. I don’t know if it’s because I’m little bored with music (particularly R&B right now), but I’m really digging her eclectic style. Oh yeah and her uniform doesn’t bother. If she puts a out a album that I enjoy, that’s all that matters to me. At least she’s trying to do her own thing and not conform.

I’m a little nervous for her career though, since she’s signed to Bad Boy. I hope everything works out for her at that label. I wonder what happend to her being on Big Boi’s label. I thought she would do well over there, since he has a unique style himself.

the way i see it signing with bad boy has already hindered her because the second suite has not been released and i don’t believe any info has been forthcoming regarding its status.

New news about Chris Rock, come to http://www.soulfullvibes.com and check it out!!!

I tried to like her, but I think she putting up a front.Pretty girl, but when everybody started “displaying how weird they are and it work for some folks” it’s just becoming a big “yawn.”

her music is dope… theres another up and coming group called “The James Gang” thats makin some noise around nyc they were on tour with John Legend.. check em out myspace.com/thejamesgangmusic

LMAO @ ya’ll clowning her “style” and the Bad boy curse.

Not feeling the way Janelle poses for the camera — looking like her azz always just said abbracadabbra!

her gear is mad wack, the tips of her shoes are looking a little scuffed up, lol

I was there last night and she was AWESOME!!!! she is the bizness and shes gonna take the Music World by Storm….Her DISTRIBUTION DEAL is with BAD BOY…THATS IT…….she is her own Artist and Artistically he has no Control or MUSICALLY….Please support Good Music YA’ll ALbum officially Drops in JUNE!!!! AND she does not wear the same thing you FOOLS her style is the same but the outfits are different……HAM’s……..

Her style isnt different she wears the same shit everyday like a fuckin cartoon.

Love Tyra, but those baby hair lacefronts are NOT the bizness!

awww i wish i was in NYC, i coulda went…looks like she had a blast! I love Janelle!

OH NO Tyra…..Her hair looks atrocious!

LMAO @ these comments!

This should be an interesting pairing with her and Bad Boy. With the success of Danity Kane and Day 26 album releases it looks like Diddy is interested in music again. he admitted on his show that he wasn’t making money from music right now. Seems like he is trying to change that.

We concentrate on the Business side of Music

LMFAO @ #27!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Yes! Her style is very unique and that’s great, but why every time I see her she’s wearing the same white shirt with a black ribbon and black slacks? I know there’s something else in her closet. I’m just saying…

Tyra’s wig looks good from a far, then you click up on the close up picture of her and it looks like she has little spiders coming out of her head. She needs help bad with her wigs, she needs to holla at her idol beyonce, cause her wigs be looking nice.

Does anybody in here have a lace front wig? Aint it HOT underneath there?. Some of these celebs never take them off, I would go nuts!!

oh and by the way…Diddy go take a nap,,,,,,the long one!!

i was there!!

I HONESTLY CAN’T BELIEV THAT YOU DON’T HAVE ANYTHING POSTED ABOUT
DR.MARTIN LUTHER KINGS 40TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION, SEE YOU GOT THE SAME CELEBS AND PICS THOUGH???? GO FIGURE!!!!!
MAINSTREAM MEDIA ESPECIALLY THE TODAY SHOW WAS GREAT THIS MORNING MAYBE THIS IS ANOTHER SIGN THESE GOSSIP BLOGS ARE SHALLOW!!!! AND REDUNDANTE, IF YOU STAY AWAY LIKE THE SOAPS YOU WON’T MISS ANYTHING!!!!

i went…….got denied at the door….wasnt on the platinum list. once you go bad boy..you go exclsive. it takes nothing away from her music tho….she’s the future

@ 41, you answered your own question.It’s a gossip blog.Most of us know that its King’s Anniversary because it was on the news and radio everywhere.

I’m not feeling her style its boring and I dont want to see any artist in a uniform. It looks a HAM

She reminds me of Pee Wee Herman … next!

First of all, I LOVE Janelle! She stands for what we need in the music industry, REAL Music! Individuality! and Talent!

NOW to ALL of you haters commenting on her “repetitive” style. STOP THE HATING. She clearly wears the same outfit or “uniform” to make a statement that WE SHOULD FOCUS ON HER MUSIC and talent and not on what she’s wearing.

That is exactly what is wrong artists in the industry now a days. We have all of these talent-less people clamoring for the spotlight, trying to be the freshest thing walking. Sadly, it’s all about the image and not the talent.

Ugh. sick of her.

Some of ya’ll are so vain. Stop worrying about what she has on and focus on her music.

And I was at the concert last night, SHE WAS AMAZING!!!!!! and very Beautiful if I must say. A lot of people came out to support her and The Wondaland Arts Society.

I wish people stop blaming diddy for what happened in the past.

1. da band- they were dysfuctional and they only went gold.
2. Dream - one member quit and then they replaced her and that did not work out.
3. Total- new jack swing got old (we did not buy the music nomore)
4. Faith- she said she left because she wanted more money (where is she now on capitol records doing the samething, but less! she not making money over there.
5. 112- went to def jam( the last album flopped) left bad boy but worked with puffy on their album.
6. shyne- shot someone in the face
7. g-dep- in and out of jail
8. mase- went to the lord and them came back to bad boy, tried to go to G-unit.
9. Loon- fake mase
10. The Lox- still not making money
11. Craig mack- ugly
12. Carl thomas- could see but he album sales were low. whose fault is that ours. he had a album come out recently di you know any of his songs? NO!
Do you won’t me to go on! look at the facts…….. By the way why do these artist still talk positive about puff and still work with them to produce, make guess appearances etc.

why she look like anita baker

People are not right if they are going to let her clothes get in the way of giving her music a chance. Her music blew me away.

‘You can’t judge a book by its cover!’

I like her whole swagga and style but I just don’t see her as a Bad Boy artist. Maybe that’s just me?

@ 50. Lol. Craig Mack is ugly as hell.

LMAO at these comments dissing Janelle Monae. What’s funny is that the same people dissing Janelle Monae are the same ones that always bitch and whine about having a female aritst (particularly black) that is creative, doesn’t objectify to selling sex, beautiful, not particularly light skin, wears her hair natural, not a coke whore, and most of all talented lol. Janelle Monae wears the uniform outfit for a reason because she is not here to please you with her looks and fashion, because that is what models are for, she is here to please you with music. Her songs might come off cheesy to some people but if you listen to her music, she uses her character Cindy Mayweather as an underlining political message to the people. In the songs “Many Moons” and “Sincerely Jane” were the two songs that gave a sublminal message but at the same time telling a story of her alter ego Cindy Mayweather. I’m not saying that you guys should love her or like her but at least give the girl a chance. You guys are putting her to the side because she has no fashion sense which is dumb as hell because she intentionally wears that to have you pay attention to her music lol. I say she is smart for that.

This is a gossip site not church. These are people you are suppose to idol, not kill for. What makes an idol? Stop trying to be rightous, this is not the thread. Now if this woman was sick or something serious, her clothes shouldn’t come up. So take a chill pill. Yes, she wears a uniform. That’s how I see it. CELEBRATIES are judged by their appearance. Why should the rules bend. It’s been going on since media, and that it.

For those who think others hating because of her style u gotta it wrong. I don’t like her clothes and that’s it I don’t care if she is scantily clad or covered from neck to toe. I dont like her uniform and it looks a mess!!!!!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=H_nFopQrM7I

Janelle I am going to take up a collection for her to get some new clothes, I understand her need to be different but damn!

i DONT LiKE HER STYLE OR LOOK GER HAiR LOOK HORRiBLE!

Signing to Bad Boy’s never a good look.

She’s a very talented singer, can’t wait to hear her album.

@ #’s 46 & 48 You two make good points about this whole thing.
I look forward to seeing and hearing somthing new for a change. The uniform or just the fact that she likes to wear black & white would not turn me off if her musical talents outshines all of that.

Her and her clique have a very confused, demonic spirit on them.

I think that amanda diva and Q tip are a cute potenotial couple I guess I spell that right. but hey Am glad to finally see J. Monae get out there she truly is a breath of fresh air.

Oh yeah thanx for that Model that was on here yesterday Donyale Luna I acutally went to look her up rite after.

I was there last night and it was definitely one of the best nights of my life thus far!

I’ve been a fan of Janelle from hearing her on Idlewild a couple years back, and will continue to be a fan until she can no longer physically create music.

Thank you MEMYSELF&I and BLACKISBEAUTIFUL and all the others had positive things to say. You truly understand Janelle’s mission. She can’t be compared to the cookie-cutter mainstream poop that’s out now. Like Barack, she has a vision that . Janelle Monae is what true musical artistry is made from.

Wondaland Arts Society in ‘08 and BEYOND!

wow! another day, same haters and even new haters! get a grip people! this is what the industry needs right now! yes, her look is different but it fits her and her personality. she is not putting up a front. i was at her performance on last night and i must say, it was the best performance that i have seen in a very long time and yes, she can sing too! she is amazing and she is going to take the industry by storm! watch and see! SMH @ all da haters….you rather see people rocking skinny jeans and scarfs all day then someone who has originality….STFU!

luv Ms. Monae!!! style-voice-music. she’s dat deal fo real. but beinng on badboy…..? i dunno know bout dat now.

( i could’ve sworn dat she wuz wit kanye though…?)

lol, damn i after reading the comments i had to check out Tyra’s fack ass baby hair!! LOLZ that was funny, she know she wrong for that, she’s a grown ass woman.

I like her costume(s). It’s like she has this whole little character she’s created and her music goes along with it. I don’t see her as stylish at all & I don’t think she’s trying to be. She’s just very artsy and dramatic.

I don’t think her career is going to take off in this market regardless, but being around Puff will get her more exposure than what she was doing before. So good move on her part.

I’m sorry but Tyra is really ugly. Her weave and make-up jobs are always so clownish. I really want to like her, but she makes is so difficult lol.

I love Amanda Diva and Q-Tip. Nice to see them out.

Something about her hair urks me.

LMFuckingAO!!!!!

@ 27 …abraccadabra! LOLOLOLOL!

fake baby hair on tyra!

Janelle Monea’s style! Ya’ll got me in tears today! LOL! I luv ya’ll! Ya’ll make my day!

Let me take my last comment back. Most of you sisters should embrace your hair, Don’t perm it, wear it naturally- It fits you best. Stop denying who yal are.

I think Tyra was trying to cover up her big as Forehead.

fucking love janelle she’s amazing!

to everyone dissing janelle, SHE’s AMAZING, have you ever seen her perform??? I bet not, I love her and at first I was very very skeptical, i LOVE HER!!! LMAO I Havent felt this way since Aaliyah and trust me she’s totally different from Aaliyah, she can sing her ass off!!!!! and she’ll never change her outfit so stop tripping.

BEEFHOP.BLOGSPOT.COM THIS IS FIRE…………..

I actually spoke with Ms. Monae the night before the show and had a very brief discussion. She’s very intelligent, friendly, and business minded. I spoke to her about the same things that you guys were complaining about (except the outfit stuff, I’m a dude so I don’t care, haha) in relation to the Bad Boy situation. She actually has 2 release dates this year, the earliest being June. Wondaland is their own record label, and Bad Boy helps in marketing/pushing the product. For those that don’t know, Bad Boy’s distribution comes from Atlantic Records. So that’s 2 companies pushing Janelle Monae product. It’s all in the contract, and I’m pleased on that level. I personally see her as a great artist and I hope that she goes far in what she’s doing ’cause I’m getting a little uneasy seeing grown ass men crankin their soulja boys around me…shit ain’t cool, son. Word up.

Let me find out what ConcreteLoop gotta say about others in the future…hahaha

- Redhead

JANELLE MONAE PROBABLY THINKS SHE DOING IT BIG SINCE SHE FINALLY GOT OUT OF ATLANTA AND IS PERFORMING IN NYC NOW. WOOPTY DOO JANELLE, DIDDY JUST DID THAT TO THROW YOU OFF. HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT YOU…YOU’RE IN THE SAME BOAT AS THE REST OF OTHER BAD BOY ARTISTS. PRETTY SOON, YOU’LL PROBABLY BE WORKING AT THE TWINS’ NANNY!

P diddy needs to FALL BACK, like waay baack. I cnt stand his ass. Never heard Janella Monae but I might need to listen to her, I hear a lot abt her.

AMANDA DIVA!!! SHE IS SOOO PRETTY AND A DOPE ASS MC/POET/SINGER!!

I will always and forever love Q-tip! I lost my wallet in el segundo haha

If Tyra dont Stop it wit that damn baby hair!!

If Tyra dont Stop wit that damn baby hair!

SHE NEEDS TO CHANGE CLOTHESSSSSSSSSSSS….CAUSE SHE WEAR THAT ALL THE DAMN TIME. I MEAN COME ON NOW…GEEZ

She wasn’t even like that in the beginning that’s why I said what I said.Be yourself.

i like her. WAY more interesting and original than Diddy’s gimmick bands Day26 and Danity Kane. Cmon DK’s album is called Welcome to the Dollhouse how appropriate, since they’re as fake and manufactured as dolls lol!

@ 85

I knew someone was going to bring that up lol. Well to be honest the style she had before was not really her. Janelle was going to placed into doing Neo-soul and she would not have stood out but would blend in. The style she has now is more her than the original style. Janelle’s music is very animated however, before she officially became a recording artist, she was broadway singer/actress. So she tried to bridge together a style of broadway singing to an music artist. That’s why when you listen to her music it sounds like show tunes but with a funky flare. Broadway singers sing and bring out their character such as Janelle Monae with Cindy Mayweather. It make more sense for her to do this than to do the Neo-Soul style because that’s too safe and plus she wouldn’t stand out lol. However I can see why you would think that.

That uniform outfit is a way to prevent people from getting distracted by her looks and play attention to music. Also to have people not compare her dress attire to other women. Come on now folks lets be real. I read the comments on CL daily and there are alot of folks that are quick to put down other females and say that they look lile another artist. So she wears a uniform to prevent that chaos. Also she is dresseed head to toe to prevent females from saying that she is objectifying to selling sex. A uniform is just a uniform. It’s not for you to love or hate it’s just a uniform. People get distracted by other things and do pay attention to her essential purpose and that’s her music and tha’ts not just Janelle that’s every artist. I say that’s a very ingenious idea.

*Ignoring all the negative comments* I LUV Janelle Monae and I respect her choice to showcase her voice not here tits and ass! O and btw i like her “uniform” I think its cute,she looks like a babydoll : )

Thank you, BLACKISBEAUTIFUL for breaking it down.

Janelle’s hot, and can’t nobody bring the fire like she. Can’t wait for the re-release of Suite I and II on 6.6.08.

Long Live The Wondaland Arts Society!

janelle is that real chick! i hope puffy does right by her

she is such a sweet person..we did an interview with her before the show..man i was soo excited..people were really feelin her in the place..and as far as how she looks..i could give a rats ass as long as she keeps putting out amazing music with a message i could care less..SUPPORT THIS ARTIST..she is gonna be huge!

Baby grrrl is tiny but has a very unique look and sound. I appreciate that. This is Diddy’s first true artist. That other crap you can keep.

I go to Morehouse and have had the pleasure to see her many times in the AUC…she’s so damn beautiful

We live in a very shallow society. Especially, us young black folks. Janelle Monae is wonderful.

yo, i remember when janelle had straight hair and she wasn’t even tryin to be a singer.
when the hype was about scar and getting him out there
craaazzy!

go janelle monae

That chick is weird, i don’t care what anyone say, she’s a weird one

I wish she would buy a new outfit…pretty girl though

I agree with number 85
I’m SOOOOOOOO tired of seeing half naked “singers” and “dancers” get all this praise when they can’t even sing or dance! People pay attetion to they Beyonces and Rihannas because they are barely dressed and barely have talent(to me). Janelle Monae wants you to pay attetion to her for her music and voice, not for her “amazing legs” or “bootyliciousness” and I LOVE that about her. She will get far.

um can I just say first of all Janelle Monae has several other looks. Google her. There are pictures of her rockin color. If Mariah Carey can wear short skirts every day then why can’t Janelle wear whatever she wants to. And she actually has alot of different styles of singing. As far as diddy goes. So the fuck what she got a distrubution deal with bad boy. Any new artist would have taken it. Plus there logo is black and white too lol. Anyway. Janelle is absolutely a genius and I admire her for being herself. We dont bash Andre 3000 for his wacky wardrobe. Why should we persecute her. I really dont get it. And on top of that Id much rather hear janelle monae at a mic with a band then hear cassie with one. No female r&b artist in the game right now can even sing half as good as her vocally. Keisha cole with a mic and a band HELL NO. Ciara with a mic and a band HELL NO. Maybe beyonce but there aint many that can do it why because they put on easy clothes they see in a magazine to hide the fact that they are not really talented. All the haters who cant get with it please stop commenting because I bet you dont know the first thing about real music. and by the way janelles wardrobe is mad sick and stylish

YOU PEOPLE ARE NUTS! EVERYONE OF YOU WHO HAVE SOMETHING NEGATIVE TO SAY YOU GUYS ARE VERY SMALL MINDED AND MISERABLE. IF YOU CAN’T SEE JM IS TRYING TO SEND A MESSAGE THROUGH HER UNIFORM AND MUSIC! FYI SHE DOESNT WEAR THE SAME THING JUST THE SAME COLORS! JANELLE MONAE IS WHATS HOT AND SHE WILL BE AROUND FOR AWHILE SO YA’LL WATCH OUT!!!!!! I LOVE YOU JM!!!!!!!!

all i have to say is that Diddy dont put up with any bitch assness the only reason them other niggas didnt last was because artist think when they (make it) they dont have to work hard but if u continue to work hard while ur on top you should have a problem with being on bad boy people always make it and then forget what it took to get them there …… i should know i intern at bad boy holla at me on the myspace.com/bigpaper
