She should tour with Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. Would be a helluva show.

Amazing performance...again.

Does anyone except some black folk even watch BET? or this show for that matter?

Thank goodness for youtube. Saved me hours of my life.

Thank goodness for youtube. Saved me hours of my life.

I watch BET (mainly The Mo'Nique Show) and its sister station Centric (really likedModel City). I saw an hour of the BET Awards. I'm taping the repeat so I can see the Prince tribute and El Debarge doing his group's hits.

I saw her in concert in June. She opened for Erykah Badu. She's pretty and she can sing. I like that she maintained high energy on stage, even though she was alloted only a small portion of the stage for her performance.

[jizzeater]

Aww! I wonder why she cried?

 

[miaedu]

Someone elsewhere posted she was on "So You Think You Can Dance". Not my thing. Anyone catch her performance?

 

[SaZaeFunkAdelIc]

i don't watch that show much, either, so i missed the performance. but someone's uploaded it to youtube.

Janelle Monáe, the saddle-shoed, pompadoured singer-songer behind ‘Tightrope’ and ‘Cold War’, has announced her new album, entitled The Electric Lady, via animated GIF http://www.jmonae.com/sites/jmonae....lic/201304/jm_annoucement_0.gif?itok=D828WzOD.

On April 22 (at exactly 7:54pm EST, apparently), she’ll release ‘Q.U.E.E.N.’, a single that features Erykah Badu. The queen of neo-soul has said that Monáe is keeping her on her “A-game:” “Secretly, I feel that I have to go out and crush her. We’re best friends, though: she’ll only find that out by reading this.”

 

[MoufOfKhaos]

^YES. YES. YES!!!

April is looking up already - new Arsis AND new Janelle Monae? I think I feel manly tears of joy welling up...

 

[EvilTwinTwo]

Monae and Badu! Now THAT's talent.
