The video for the new Janelle Monae. Excellent.

She's on the new Bonobo lp, now that's weakening your brand.





You all a bunch of killjoys. Not a great track, but still good, and a great video, funny! Good warmup for the lp.

My fav.....I don't think she has a signature song or club banger.





Her image sells more than her music.

Tightrope is her big cut.

 

[Hotsauce84]

Her stage show is superb, mostly due to her theatrical background. That girl has so much energy!

 

[empanadamn]

Ew. Not feeling this, except for the breakdown with Erykah - and I'm not really a big fan of hers. That rap at the end is gross.





HOWEVER, to echo the hermano Herm, JM puts on a stellar live show. Probably one of the best that I've seen in recent times.

 

[Jimster]

Yeah, I am not dismissive of either of them, but JM's earlier stuff was stronger. IMHO. She still foine.


Ditto Badu. FACT.

 

[ppadilha]

as far as pop acts go, I really like her. At the very least she puts some thought into her work instead of just making mindless club bangers.





then again, the other day I was thoroughly entertained watching some Nicki Minaj videos. From what I understand the correct thing to do is hate her like she's the antichrist incarnate, so I'll be the first to admit that I'm

JM is trying too hard, Badu is not trying at all and the art direction is an inspiration wall mess.
