Video Premiere: Janelle Monae 'Cold War'

Here is the new video from Janelle Monae for her song "Cold War." This song appears on her album Archandroid in stores now.

I love this song and I love Janelle Monae but I don't think I am deep enough to understand the video. Or maybe I'm just looking too hard for something that isn't there...

At any rate, Janelle looks great, sounds great and as simple as the video is, it does the job of not taking away from the message of the song.

Can You Spot Janelle Monae?

Before everyone knew who Janelle Monae was and before she signed with Diddy's Bad Boy Records, Janelle Monae appeared in Outkast's video for the group's song "Morris Brown." That track was featured on Outkast's 6th studio album/soundtrack to their movie Idlewild.

Janelle had ultra personality in the video and I honestly can't believe that I didn't take notice before.

Janelle Monae's Performance on Earned Letterman Will Bring Some Well Deserved Attention [Video]

Janelle Monae stopped by the David Letterman Show last night to perform her song "Tightrope" which is lifted from her newly released album The ArchAndroid.

The performance was more than just a show, it was an experience. Janelle is clearly cut from a different fabric and the same can be said about her performance style. You can tell that she was largely influenced by James Brown. The slip and slide leg movements paired with the cape was a dead giveaway.

I also never realized how small she was! I think she's smaller than me and I'm pretty petite (I always feel great when there is someone tinier than me!).

Anyway, for awhile Janelle Monae wasn't getting the attention she so rightfully deserves given her unique look and talent. This being her debut performance on network television and it being spectacular, shows that things are starting to look great for Janelle.

Video Premiere: Janelle Monae (feat. Big Boi) 'Tightrope'

I L.O.V.E. Janelle Monae...

Here is the new video from Janelle Monae for her song "Tightrope" which also features Big Boi. "Tightrope" will appear on Janelle's upcoming album ArchAndroid that is scheduled for a May 18 release.

Janelle Monae would make James Brown and Michael Jackson very proud with her footwork. And she also is doing high water pants (or as my mother would call them "money catchers") much justice.

Grammy Award red carpet pics!

As we know, the Grammy Awards went down last night and it was lack luster and not even close to great but I'll get to that in a min. Anyhow, here are a few pics from the red carpet!

Estelle hit the carpet. Not in love with the dress but I am glad to see her get her shine...

Neyo and guest. One thing I have to give Neyo is that he has an eye for beautiful women. You'll never catch him with a H.A.M. on the red carpet...

The planter peanut guy a.k.a. T-Pain was there shockingly not dressed flashy. He must not have been feeling like himself. Question, are they still wearing grills?!

Jeezy was on the carpet, no comment...

Loves me some Janelle Monae! I am keeping the hope for you girl, I am keeping the hope...

Letoya made an appearance as well looking fresh.

Janelle Monae "Many Moons"

Wow!! this is always what I say when I see this girl. She is so quirky and so damn talented. Her video speaks volumes and the song holds such great meaning and has a message that is almost impossible to ignore. The video is creative and original and it really is a breath of fresh air. I will admit, at the beginning I just couldn't get with the "Jimmy Neutron" inspired hairstyle but now I think it is absolutely adorable and it has J. Monae written all over it. What I like about Janelle is the fact that she does not adhere to the stereotypical prototype of an "R&B singer" yet she is still able to stay true to the art form and the genre. The video is nothing short of amazing and her style is funky and fun all at the same time. I am just dying for her and Kanye to collaborate on a song! Their styles are so similar and I think they would make magic in the studio.

I give this video a yummy A for originality and stylish flare.
