    Like her tired of the tux.

  2. Ash-lee

    Im ready for her look to change.

  3. GirlBye

    Janelle honey please get a new outfit this shit is getting beyond old.

  4. Kyla

    She’s still rockin’ this look?!

  5. Tami

    She is so cute and I like the tux it looks good on her.

  6. WEDONTKNOW

    I could listen to her music all day! I don’t really get the look but as long as she keeps making good music I’m good!

  7. Musicwithin

    Get over her outfit people and listen to the music!! That is her whole point. You people don’t get it. That is why some artists today are all about glam with no substance. You glorify the mediocrity of their talented and Praise them for their style above all. How twisted is that. Some of you may argue-and I anticipate it. That an artist must be the whole package. Well she is. She had a vision and ran with it. Her uniform is for you to become immersed in what she’s saying not rocking. I wonder if some of your other famous artists would wear a paper bag would you still support them and listen to their music!

  8. GETOVERIT

    It’s about the music, NOT WHAT SHE’S WEARING PEOPLE. Ya’ll complaining about her clothes is getting TIRED.

    Get over it.

    ps. And the photos are stunning. Loving the blues and reds the camera picked up! Yes Janelle!

  9. Ash-lee

    I actually love her music, but why not have both? Glam and substance, it’s possible.

  10. OWTFIT

    Seriously???? We are still talking about clothes??? When do we start talking about MUSIC?

    Superman wore the same outfit all the time. Think about it.

  11. LINDSAY LOHANS CRACK PIPE

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS,I caught wind of MISS MONAE in feb of 2009 and bought her album a month later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    LOVE HER and i cant wait 2 hear the rest of the suites.
    her MANY MOONS VIDEO IS PHENOMENAL!!!!!
    wish it could have won an award :(

  12. Kyla

    Lol .. superman? don’t think that really needs to be discussed because it should be obvious why superman wore the same clothes.

    But I don’t like her music so the only thing to discuss is = her clothing.

  13. richy

    I love her music but she needs a new look for real!

  14. neon

    @Musicwithin i agree. people are focusing too much on what she’s wearing. she could wear a paper bag and it doesn’t change the fact that she has more talent than most of these mainstream females. it annoys me when i hear people talk about how “creative” and “original” these female streetwalkers are when they are industry puppets who make a name for themselves through their stylists’ work. here is a female that truly is creative in her work and i love that

  15. LULU

    Love Janelle…she’s so animated.

  16. Dude-N-Htown

    Loves her….but she really does need to change it up. But hey she’s original.

  17. Dude-N-Htown

    @ 9…I agree. Why not have both???

  18. Chelly

    Wow she’s been rockin this black/white tux and puffy hair look for like 2 years. And no, I have zero desire to listen to her music the one song I heard a while back, sounded as awful as her clothing.

  19. theComplex

    The same idiots would complain about “the changes” if she made them. Crabs…

    In any case, great pics of Janelle!

  20. OrangeStar616

    Her look is like a uniform , she had a thing for Colonel Sanders image as a child, and liked the uniform thing.. I LOVE it cause she ain’t afraid honey to do original recipe form the look to genious of the music , LOVE her LOVE LOVE LOVE the dopeness

  21. Been Prissy Since1908

    she needs a new look, im tired of the same hair and tux!

  22. Mike

    I love Janelle, she’s like a breath of fresh air. And then I don’t mind that she seems a bit weird either lol

  23. Luvbug

    BISH LOOK LIKE SHE IS GOING COO COO FOR COCOA PUFFS AND HER HAIR IS IN A PUFF.

  24. mrs. sk8board p (ak & bk stan)

    I love Janelle.

  25. mimi

    LOVE HER MUSIC, SICK OF THIS GETUP..

  26. Don't Be STUPID!

    I truly wish she did not sign with Puffy… why are ppl still signing deals with Puffy??? Don’t they get it?? She has sooo much talent and I just wish she had a better platform.

    But these days you have to look like a whore… talent is a thing of the past.

  27. Jay Z corporate puppet!

    WE CAN’T STOP TALKING ABOUT THE CLOTHES BECAUSE SHE KEEPS WEARING THIS SAME OLE TIRED LOOKING OUTFIT! MY GOODNESS..WHAT DOES HER CLEANERS BILL LOOK LIKE! LOL

    NAW BUT ON A SERIOUS NOTE…THIS CHICK MUSIC IS NICE!

  28. Furious Styles

    GET A NEW LOOK!!!!!!!!

    Until she has a REAL IMAGE I can’t deal with her.

    NEXT!

  29. LDN'S FINEST

    this chick is so annoying, get a new look already you look stupid and as for her music, don’t know why everyone is biggin her up so much…its shit…

  30. poetrysistah

    I like janelle monae, she’s super creative, and I do kinda agree with “why can’t we have both glam and substance”. But if she wants 2 continuie rockin’ the tux look, go 4 it, after all I care 4 the music, not really the clothes too much. look at teairra mari, she has singing talent and different multiple fashion styles, she’s kinda like the total package. As 4 janelle monae, she is a total package, I just wish that she wasn’t signed 2 puffy, she deserves better than that, I think.

  31. cali panamami [don't follow me, it leads to something else]

    ugh. i really get tired of everyone getting so caught up with imagery. it’s fucking NOTHING! NOTHING!
    who gives a fuck about her tuxedo?! she can fucking sing while rihanna whiny “i’m mad cuz i can’t have chris back” ass is getting constant air play.

    there.

    i said it.

  32. MB

    I used to love her, but now I’m getting so sick and tired of her wearing that SAME TIRED ASS TUXEDO everyday! Time to change!

  33. Wowza

    She wears that same damn outfit all the damn time!!! She’s like Robin thicke. I love Robin, but sweetie that sweater with adida shelltoes is getting old. She needs to switch her style up a little. Not a complete transformation, but a little change. This look is tiring.

  34. hood_shit

    rael talk- a tad too eccentric for ya boy

  35. Freeo

    Man for real. Janelle could come out in a muthafu*kin baby bib with a condom on her toe, she’d still be one of the most talented chicks out there!

  36. JKenayP

    lmao @freeo. i totally agree

  37. Angela M. Riggs

    Janelle Monae is has amazing talent! She is stunning too! I can’t wait for her to come out with some new material! Get ready for a JM Experience!

  38. Ashley C.

    Yayyyy Janelle you’re back… I love her personality, she’s different, and her intellect is amazing! We need you back on the scene making music that speaks instead of this sinister music being put out!
