[@TanyerLamb]

I'm pretty sure she's got the lung capacity of a triathaloner; she's a non-stop performer. I watched her live, it was two hours of her dancing like a dancebot!

[@tyronemoore1981]

Her album is ArchANDROID

[@Slayton701]

Tanyer Lamb ** Yea. the entertainment world..... ""Hollywood" has removed the gospel of Jesus Christ...... from their entire circle of people... False-hood, Idol worship and lots of folks/Ceo's who have signed over in blood. the Bible lets you know this country will fall with out, morals and sound leadership. Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellers there is safety. proverbs - riches profit not in the day of wrath but righteousness will delivereth from death. Believers have to stay w the word of the Lord. amen the word gives a clear example of what the end x's would come to. ( Bible ) that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, -- Philippians 2:15 ,, $ cannot be worshiped as the Lord Jesus Christ. when that happens lawless-ness and corruption. "" run wild .. Christ will return . ( 1 Timothy 4: Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, """ the word says it will come a x, when folks will dis regard whats written in scripture. and attempt to gain wisdom apart from the word of God, through other"" false religious books. wanting to be their own..... God. just like Satan when he grew proud and vain. ,, psalms - Do not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men, 10 In whose hands is a sinister scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes. pvb. 12 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

Jesus, that diction was immaculate.

[@ellcally508]

Right?!

[@howardmellor5483]

This was the same year that Beyonce played the festival. Janelle blew her out of the water with this performance.

[@tomtheasparagus]

Honestly, I think they both did brilliantly in their own genres. Their styles and voices are completely different and there is no point in creating some competition between the two. Especially that they're both influenced by each other, or at least, they respect each other (see the pictures of them together at the 2011 Grammy Awards and at the 2014 MET Ball).

[@howardmellor5483]

Fair comment Thomas...I guess Janelle is just more my taste than Beyonce and I really thought Janelle was 100% on it for her performance . Both very talented ladies though I agree!

[@tomtheasparagus]

Howard Mellor Yeah, definitely! I love them both so much and they both are incredible performers on stage!

[@peterpworbarski]

To be fair, I think she blew everybody away with this set.

[@branching123]

@@tomtheasparagus them taking a picture together means nothing. People can take pictures as professionals. Comparisons are fine. That's how people win awards... By (presumably) being better than others. Get over it

[@dlight247]

she NEVER has a bad performance, ive watched almost every live show and every time she's perfect

[@kingbee5107]

Admit it...she's SO far ahead of the rest of the music industry. Janelle is working on 2030 while the rest of 'em are barely into 2013!

[@michelyalba4364]

She was already way ahead in the early 2010s

[@MsJessIZcrazy]

There is no words that can describe how much I love this woman. Her music takes me to space, then she performs them live and I feel like I am in heaven.

[@Zoerapss]

She's such an excellent performer

[@TerraRyzinglives]

From Dance or Die to Lock Inside is a tremendous flow of songs, especially to start an album

[@LeeMajikija]

LEGEND IN THE MAKING. PHENOMENAL WOMAN.

[@gregoryharvard8787]

This medley will forever be the best on The ArchAndroid album!

[@hassanfrancis1]

This girl is baaad! Most of her dancers and musicians are black and her beats are funky cool!

[@hassanfrancis1]

AWESOME BLACK GIRL!

[@tychobrahe6379]

So what if "most of her dancers and musicians are black"? Why is that important?

[@tychobrahe6379]

lawrence lan I'm sorry, who asked you?

[@1358Paco]

It’s mind-boggling how insanely talented Janelle Monáe is

[@MaxGravitas]

Amazing. She's like Grace Jones, young female version of James Brown, and Halle Berry all rolled into one.

[@tyronemoore1981]

I love how all of her live performances sound the same, like she does it the same way every time. Either she's lipsyncing a live performance (obviously not), or she is trained enough to sound the same every time she performs, which I think is amazing

[@jerkchicken_expertlyseasoned]

***** There are some differences that she deliberately puts in there. But yeah her consistency as a performer is amazing.

[@00Arkham00]

A lot of hate on here because Janelle isn't half naked. Lol, one guy even said that ladies shouldn't be ashamed of their bodies. Obviously Janelle isn't. She's confident enough with it to wear suits and tuxedos. Why does she half to be half naked to "not feel ashamed" of her body? I swear, it was probably some guy that wanted to see her naked that said that.

[@davideffiong1198]

One of the things I love about Janelle is that she exudes so much self-respect and confidence. she could wear a loose-fitting suit and great coat and still be highly attractive. She has physical beauty and transcends it.

[@warrengonline]

I thought music was about to die and become bug wings in the wind... This is beyond HOT!!! She's the firecracker I've been looking for for the longest!!! THANK YOU Janelle!!!!

[@csw4260]

If Janelle and Jamiroquoi did a collaboration, it would be freaking FIRE!!!!!

[@NotsoplainJane]

Watching in 2019 after seeing her amazing Grammy performance. She is “Black Girl Magic ✊🏾💫”! She’s such an inspiration, and every time I need LIFE, I come to this performance! Still gives me chills years later. Thank you for keeping it up! We love you Janelle❤️

[@rogeriosousa9474]

Im from Brazil. You are right

[@lildropper250]

Damn her performances look like so much fun! I wish I could see her live!

[@georginareed]

Finally, we have JANELLE... who KNOWS how to entertain! Thank you!!!

[@felicitykemp2798]

I remember watching this live when I was 11 and it’s left such a massive impact on me for some reason. She’s so brilliant!!!

[@kellylee71180]

I love this woman Danm!! Her shows are so dope--always

[@thatquietkid]

no matter what i'll always come back to this performance b/c it is one of the greatest that i've ever seen, Janelle Monáe is truly one of the best performers of this decade

[@bjfcmorphil]

This is such an amazing live performance.This Album is one of the best ever created !The creativity , lyrics, music and production .The fact that she and her band replecated these songs live is pure talent.

[@LoserHouse]

at last, talent!

[@yolovesgud]

[@ninjakay]

I was there! Best act I saw over the whole festival!

[@peterkin1010]

Janelle is STAGGERINGLY talented. Absolutly got it all and then some more.

[@johntemple8091]

This woman is amazing!!! "The Archandroid" is a brilliant album. Check out her first album, "The Audition". Less progressive, but very accessible and a pleasant listen. Hard to find, but you can download all but the intro track for free on mp3rocket.

[@laurat46]

She's is captivating...miraculous...android meltdown...apocalyptic shock...WOW...people are sleeping on Janelle Monae...

[@AnnaAwesome77]

Brilliant! Bold! True! And I love Janelle Monae, thank you, Janelle Monae! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 ❤❤

[@Healinglights17]

how many performers can actually do this anymore? sing and dance LIVE without lip-syncing? Amazing vocal control, delivery and fun. The band is fire too. I'm hooked...

[@pinky15ification]

awesome introduction......pianist/keyboardist is amazing!!!!!

[@niabcm19]

I randomly remember this performance every few months and have to watch it over and over

[@jamesgrayasrider]

Just when you aren't paying much attention to the words. The music changes and grabs your attention and makes you listen to more. I'm an independent hip-hop artist and I very much enjoyed listening to her music. I as if I've just been on a trip!

[@Will008]

I miss this Janelle Monáe.

[@terebi916]

An athlete at the height of her powers. She gets stronger every day...

[@veradistheeggcat229]

I'm usually not a fan of live performances since they usually do a subpar version of whatever song they sing, but Janelle literally said "let me not only sing perfectly, let me do it for ELEVEN MINUTES" Props to the band and dancers as well, the conductor (Nate Wonder I think??? I can't remember 😭) is having a great time too

[@felixfelixine4220]

LOVE Janelle..so crazy clever and funky!

[@sarashunu]

I’m so in love. Tessa is one lucky girl. /swoon

[@mortenle]

Funky and classic and jazzy and it felt like the future.

[@TheDanster4]

I love how they transition into a new song, defiantly one of my favorite singers!! :)

[@yobboblogging]

I just love the song 'Locked Inside'! I love how they sway from side to side together

[@YaoEspirito]

I'm too old to understand this type of music, but, Janelle, I'm glad you're alive. All the way strong.

[@AnnaAwesome77]

Omg!!!!! Thank you for sharing this video!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@gsadoh007]

Janelle is the Brightest of the Best. She stands in a special class of her own and certainly the best female singer and dancer of the 21st century. And she's Smoking HOT!!!

[@sharkeyboe]

How is she not the biggest star in the world?!

[@RetroDimeDiva]

I love Janelle Monae she reminds me of James Brown of course, Prince & Grace Jones

[@frankns]

@numofan I'm sorry I don't,I recorded it onto a usb stick from the TV and the program must have over run.It was recorded for my son who has seen her live and wants to marry her!

[@jbecknc]

Brilliant! Monae is a national treasure.

[@Guy_de_Loimbard]

You can tell every last person up on that stage is having the time of their freakin' lives.

[@sassycydnie]

Saw her last Friday night in Nashville, TN, at Bridestone Arena. She was fabulous and fresh!!

[@eddieupshaw3735]

I love this lady!! Very talented.SHE IS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. I will start promoting her on my all my Social Media Outlets. I am very tired of the BS they promote on the mainstream outlets.

[@TheWMLive]

[@terrybanks7220]

u rock n motivate me good job keep puttin on the hits

[@gordonsmith7065]

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Janelle Monae is the most exciting and talented musical artist of the 21st century so far. She has invented a genre rooted in the vastness of music itself, and centered on her unique vision and talent. She is just astonishing.

[@es2238]

I gotta get to one of her concerts!!!!

[@lifebeginsat63]

This young woman is a real class act !! She's amazingly creative, positive in her philosophies wh/ are heard in her lyrics; she dances ( check out her "Tightrope" ), can rap, sing in several other genres ( check out her alter ego "Cindy" ), and, as witnessed here in this posting, can keep a huge crowd entertained ! I think we'll see and hear a LOT from her ( she's only 27 ); she's had a vision for what she wants to BE for years & has studied her craft in NYC, PA & Atlanta. What a talent ! =D

[@isabz]

I feel the same... why I can´t hear her in Spain? Janelle, please come to Madrid!!!!

[@kylameek23]

i love to watch her dance

[@numofan]

@frankns - thanks so much!

[@smallysmall935]

I love her style!

[@vincegedeon6583]

she is amazing and so beautiful!

[@funnybunnyjb]

i saw her live tonight and she is actually the most amazing and talented woman alive! she opened with this number !! she can sing like no other..she is like the female version of michael jackson. She should be more famous than half the pop stars out there.

[@JayCrissto]

I'd pay all the money to see her live! Come to Poland, pleeeease!
