PRIME example to never judge a book by it’s cover. I like it!

I’m not digging her style..but I like her voice,and the song

The lyrics were good but the sound was wack.. also it just seemed she wanted to make stuff rhyme… so it was aight for me.

I love the old school feel to it the song is nice

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL, I LOVE TO SEE BLACK PEOPLE STAND UP FOR SOMETHING THAT MATTERS…CHANGE!

I love JANELLE MONAE’….

She’s the best and one of the nicest people you could ever meet!!!

This song is very hot!

SO excited for this album!!!!

y didnt you guys post her pics in Vogue? thats huge too.

This album is gonna flop so hard its sad. It comes out NEXT WEEK? I bet only 1 in 15 Americans even know who she is. I like this song and the last one yall posted last time.

This song makes you reflect. I luv it.. It brought tears to my eyes, just thinking about what she said. I like when she said “NOTE TO AFRICA” WHEN ARE WE GONNA BRING A CURE.
i will definatley buy her album. We need music like this. This is soul music.

I’m so diggin Janelle Monae’!! I will defiently be coppin’ her album!! This women goes hard!!!

I liked this song, though I’m definitely not feelin’ any of her other music I’ve heard, as bad as I want to.

I like it!

Sup DAME? I’m loving the Solange quote that’s extended to your name! That’s tha TRUTH!

Love it!
Definitely the RIGHT way to musically encourage people to vote and be aware of what’s going on in our society…

A resounding thumbs up!!!! Her and Jazmine Sullivan’s albums gonna be HOT.

Here is a singer who’s different, and is GOOD at that. Shame mainstream and black media only think black girls can only do generic R&B to sell. If she promotes in Europe and Japan, they would love her since they’re a lot more open to different sounds than America.

The track and delivery are lackluster but I love the content of the lyrics.

I love the lyrics and love her voice. She reminds me of an R&B version of Gwen Stefani. What is going on with her marketing team. Why I didn’t know her album was coming out this month? It’s sad how some of the bests artist like her and Chrisette Michele don’t get enough marketing. Why sign them if you don’t want to market them the right way.

I appreciate the lyrics but I’m not feeling the music. That’s why I didn’t vote because I can’t vote for something that doesn’t meet (or defeat) my standards. Also #15, how the hell does she sound like Gwen? They sound NOTHING alike…. Janelle’s voice is stronger (on that R&B tip).

Damn this song kicks ass . Love the message in this song, glad she stood up to write it, and feelin the Jimi Hendrix/Soul type instrumental.

I’m glad Janelle has provided a fresh sound for the masses!

I actually like it, she’s still a wierdo though.

Ok I’m feeling this song really nice I wasn’t so sure about her with the other song she had I just couldn’t get with that other song but this one really shows how talented she is and I’m looking forward to some of her other work.

#13 I totally agree. Who said unique had to be weird? Hell, look at Outkast they were totally different then what people thought was typical for hip hop sound or look and they earned respect like no other. Prince he’s outside the box but made some classics. Can we say Earth Wind and Fire their outfits were insane!! And we all know thats some real music. Even Patti Labelle and the Bluebells wore the craziest outfits and made hits. So never judge a book by it’s cover and plesase don’t keep black artist inside a sterotypical box of what r &b suppose to look like. Smooches and can’t wait for her album to drop!

I’m actually feeling this song, I’m diggin’ the concept. I hope it reaches as many as it can.

and here i thought that ms janelle monae was one of diddy’s gimmicks but she can really sing,i had never heard her voice until now

the song is pretty tight now i gotta go find some more music by her lol

I can dig it. Artsy mofos who ain’t scared are OK wit me.
Wish she wasn’t on bad boy but other than that I like what I have heard so far.

Love Janelle! Saw her perform in Central Park this past Sunday and she is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Her voice, delivery, energy, and creativity inspires me. Not just entertains me, and that’s what I wish more artists were like. Everyone won’t understand or appreciate her talent, and that’s ok. Those that don’t get it, well it should be obvious she’s not making her music for you.

her voice, the music, the lyricas all beautiful, but the songs just okay…good road trip music.

I’m an old school head, so I have a very descriminating ear. I can’t help but to think of Al Green’s “Still In Love” when I heard the very beginning of this song. In other words, nothing about this or her is original in my opinion, other than that gimmicky, get-up of hers which still irks the living hell outta me.

I can hear it now..

janelle’s the best thing since sliced bread..

smh

LMFAO @ #7!!!!!

This is my song of the day…slow churning and undersrtated. “Mr. President” are you listening? And this time its not Marilyn Monroe in between cocktails (literally).

The lyrics resonate with everything that is going on right now and the chorus/hook is instantly infectious. Furthermore, the delivery is fluid and stirring at moments. Janelle’s voice is extremely rich and has a soulful edginess I hadn’t noticed before. This is a song that will definitely help more people to discover and appreciate Janelle. I must say I am just becoming receptive to her, because honestly, I was enticed by some of the earlier leaks from this project.

Anytime and artist comes correct, I get excited and look to see and hear more.

I can not listen while at work. I saw her this past Sunday at Central Park, she was great! I wasn’t checking for her because I am jaded with today’s new artist. And she came off as being far out there. But your right @1, you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. I am looking forward to buying her album, and I haven’t felt this way in a LONG time. I lover her voice and her style.

@24 change, I feel the same too. Thanks to CL for putting me on to Janelle. Her Central Park performance really touched something in me. Something that I thought I lost. I’m a 80’s fan, not 80’s baby. So I was down with Fishbone, The Chives and Mantronix, all that. I love 80’s funk, and Janelle is bringing it back. Real talent!

I wish people would wise up!!! Clothing means nothing! The fact that a person wears, Gucci and Jimmy Choo, Dolce and Gabbana or Louis V.doesn’t make an individual more talented.
Janelle is a true artist. She is going to start a new movement. Hell, we should all be sick of the weaves, layer upon layer of make-up, too tight and short clothes and black “bad girl” clothes by now. Some people just have it…and Janelle is one who does. She doesn’t need to hide her beautiful voice behind a loud azz outfit. I’m so glad she is breaking the mold and being unique. She is wonderful and I appreciate her gift. If you would just listen to the music and stop worrying about her outfits you might actually enjoy it. Open you minds and ears the same way you open those eyes. I pre-ordered Metropolis and if you are smart you will too.

This is the first time I have actually heard her music…her style did not grab me (I guess u need sumthing to stand out from the pack), but she has a beautiful voice! She could be the next L Boogie!!

uhmmm its aiight but damn the middle/ending was just killing me.. i could barely stand it.

CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE!!!!! Perfect Urgency!!!!

NICE! My friend recommended me a very interesting place “”"”"”W e a l t h y L o v e s.co m”"”"”"” If you’ve ever been there you will know what I mean….

I like it, but it really reminds me of Pink’s “Dear Mr. President”… It’s faster and funkier, but still the same message and almost the same sound….
