Archandroid Janelle Monáe in Studio Q

[@chrislacy1990]

Janelle Monáe is a legend in the making. I've never seen someone so young effortlessly blend R&B, funk, hip hop, psychedelic rock, and disco in their music while creating her own identity. Outside of music, she is a strong, beautiful woman who carries herself with class and dignity. I pray that she continues to stay out of trouble and make great music.

[@MamaMielke]

Yep, still holds up

[@BorgesJoel]

The most underrated artist of this century, she's like the new MJ.

I hope that my daughters are this strong one day. This woman is truly an inspiration.

[@Story-Warrior]

Far deeper than I ever imagined. Articulate, calm and uber focused. Beyond education!

[@Abstract1406]

Never heard of this woman until two weeks ago. The interviewer is baffle by her composure but he must understand that foremost Janelle is an actress. She has total control of emotions when interviewed. As for being a writer, she is able to think fast and give logical answers without offending anyone. I admire her vigilance to stay true to herself and not allowing her integrity to be bought. Her crusade to bring positive music, unity, and more enlightening images of black woman is most admirable

[@LolaBunnay]

I just love how she's so focused... it's something we should all BE.

[@eosdelb]

She is very articulate. She really gets her point across. She speaks so softly. She is gorgeous.

[@northstar5747]

I love everything about this woman! What a fantastic talent she is! Best artist in decades....

[@smcpatrick]

Janelle Monae gives my imagination hope and I love her music. I wish more artists were this open and genuine.

[@metacrisis47]

Oh my lord, I can listen to her talk ALL DAY!

[@CANDYSOULonline]

she is a RESPONSIBLE ARTIST!!! i luv her. she IS a role model!

[@alice-ij7fu]

I could listen to her talk all day

[@chazapollojohnson3325]

Her new album Electric Lady is excellent!

[@Nick-lh7wi]

I still listen to this album ALL THE TIME! Never gets old 😍

[@michealjohn7192]

I bet her parents are real wizards

[@김민석-d1v]

i love her calm comment and janelle has an amazing dignity

[@brunosantinho372]

I just saw the Interview with M.I.A. and am now reaching the end of this one and I just figured out why I have both Records of this artist on my collection and I haven't any of M.I.A.'s work. Two artist that are worlds apart. Inspiring words and mindset.

[@mannsolo6294]

If I had three wishes one of my wishes would be for archandroid to be made into a movie... Cindi Mayweather on the big screen❤

[@MrScogmo]

I love her.

[@wiggz216]

Love this interview

[@fugitivephilo]

I do wish Jian had asked more questions concerning the science fictional mythology behind The ArchAndroid. The keyword he is missing here is "Afrofuturism," and in this respect he missed an opportunity to have her wax indepth on futurism - the early reference to science fiction and the last reference to Kurzweil were points that could've been expanded in serious depth, as well as her reinterpretation of Lang's Metropolis.

[@Freemindz418]

Thank you lady for your perspective 💗

[@ortegacinema]

The interviewer did an excellent job of asking very perceptive questions. I am a big fan of Janelle Monae's work especially as a former student in the AUC.

[@alala682]

I cant breath... wow

[@lissysanchez8023]

Angels exist

[@falacoruja2399]

Spectacularly Awesome is what Janelle Monáe truly is!

[@wilkinschristel]

With a family like that, I see how she got so far!!!

[@sORrYiMLaTe_wHAtdiDiMisS]

So true...Makes all the difference.

[@wilkinschristel]

[@MrJacksonvill]

in other words a Breath of Fresh Air!

[@lissysanchez8023]

God bless you all 😍😘💥💖💓❤💓💖💜💚💙✨💎🌍🏋️‍♂️

[@TheStelow]

Congratulations Janelle

[@misspbrown2566]

Sept/17/22. Very nice interview with Janelle Monáe. Different route to the same destination puts me in mind of the new tune 'Universal Love'. Just watched two interviews in a short space of time. Recorded by different channels 2008 and 2011. 💜✌🏾

[@CaptainLouMusic]

This woman is inspiring.

[@Freemindz418]

An important Artist 🎨🎭

[@youngsweetgeesus]

The best, most inspiring, genuinely original, eclitic, musical genious artists always have the least views with interviews and some of there music. More people need to be aware of artists like her

[@ChaosGregor]

that's actually a real sunshine smile!!! :D

[@ddorman365]

God bless you Believer Family for understanding Everything, peace and love, Doug:)

[@daneiladams]

I saw her perform with the s.f. Orchestra, truly inspiring

[@7sunshine111]

SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Tramarci]

I love You

[@hoc1992]

SHE IS AHEAD OF HER TIME

[@KishorTwist]

He really interviews only top-shelf AAA artists, it's really impressive.

[@splendidtime1]

She wants the right thing. The human problem is a spiritual problem. It's not political, or academic. The heart of mankind is sick. But we fight against what we really need.

[@fugitivephilo]

I don't think Jian is "baffled." Far from it, he's one of the better interviewers yet to claim the mic in CBC's long history, and here is trying to tease out something from behind Monáe's guarded personality. He pays close attention to what she's saying, and unlike many if not most interviewers, improvises his questions to pick up on her statements. A few passages from this interview have since become canonical quotes for journalists writing about Monáe.

[@fatimahmedows9846]

This baby girl is going places. I love everything about her. She is sooo genuine. -- Much love to you, Janelle Momi Fatimah

[@Zamanian]

I thought this was baby MJ from the thumbnail

♡♥♡♥♡

[@UrbanRevivalMediaPro]

Her "The Audition" album should have put her up there with Janet right from the beginning.

[@UrbanRevivalMediaPro]

Jamelle's morals have cost her big bucks, but she made it big despite that.

[@kgenesis1]

Other artists (male and female) can learn a thing or two from her.

[@hamet1234]

god damn 3 years...

[@kennethvanwroten4186]

god damn 3 years

[@soundscapenyc]

is this a new interview-or a re-upload?

[@mikeyfnway]

Wow I'm second.

[@c2stage2sky]

fandroid!

[@thelegendrubyrodd]

she is so small! o.o so itty bitty! lol

[@ThePreciousfab]

At 11:03 or so she expressed her brand and not wanting to support women in lingerie etc; and discusses core values. Funny look at her in 2018. What are her core values now?

[@inflatable2]

Her values and views are still the same, but she has made her point with the whole Cindy Mayweather story and has moved on to now do more personal raw stuff with Dirty Computer.. I also think Trump being elected as president has made her " snap" politically and she very much picked a side now, which has also made her come out as pansexual etc..

[@1NV4S10N]

Are you core values the same 8 years on?

[@chromosom9509]

Similarities to MJ's ideas... She's just making her own organic rendition... The difference is that she was not forced or raised to become an artist, she chose too, un like MJ.

[@ChipChipBreak]

"I don't consider myself a feminist". hmmm...

[@maricelasanchez5866]

Glad she evolved beyond that. She is a proud feminist leader now.

[@briajx]

Yea. . Lol

[@ToddCWiggins]

Hopefully, she wont succumb to Michael Jackson syndrom

[@marcusrouse]

im not sure i care for his questions today... too deep! how about the covergirl contract. or relationship with diddy. or inspirations ... who she is personally isnt all that interesting .

[@MAXIMILLIANgoodchild]

boring....

[@MAXIMILLIANgoodchild]

Probably not.... but I have greater expectations for entertainers.... they have to be engaging..... not zzzzzzz.... it's ok if I am boring since it's not my livelihood. ...
