Janelle Monáe's First Encounter With Prince Is Hilarious

[@janethuegerich8411]

Beautiful woman, incredible talent. Prince knew the best when he saw it and heard it. Thank you Janelle for honoring our Prince.

[@tammyking1500]

Janet Huegerich he was our Prince wasn't he I miss the purple one

[@Ludi1403]

I don't understand why she isn't played on the radio more. Why does for example Taylor Swift get so much attention - Janelle is so much better!!

[@HarryFlowerrs]

Genius💕

[@HarryFlowerrs]

Prince is,was and always will be Genius!💕 RIP Brother!🙏🏼🌹

[@heath8358]

Her voice could soothe the flames in hell 😭😭😭

[@nakiacorbin8350]

I love to hear people imitate Prince, it's always the same.so cool and calm.

[@TimeLapse54321]

She is the greatest of his proteges, hands down.

[@ROCKNROLLFAN]

Prince was the GREATEST Entertainer/ Musician there ever was....

[@modona100]

Musician yes but mike was the better entertainer

[@ROCKNROLLFAN]

Prince was BETTER than michael jackson as an Entertainer, too......

[@modona100]

ROCKNROLLFAN no he wasnt.

[@naspaarchiveocular]

This is so inaccurate

[@alexisdavis7384]

@@modona100 agreed Michael Jackson is the better entertainer I have nothing against prince but Michael in my book is greater

[@ArmyStay0T70T8]

I love her interpretation of his voice. Prince is with her every day I'm sure. Love her 💜🎸👄

[@penny4penny594]

Prince wore a hat similar to hers in 4 Ever n my life. What is it when a woman has swag.? She's got it. PURPLE MAJESTY

[@rmrglobalproductionsinc9554]

This was a very nice interview. You guys did excellent all of you and the fact that you took it deeper was really nice to see on a show. No boundaries here love it and We love and Adore 😍Janelle.

[@ROCKNROLLFAN]

Rest in Heaven, Mr. Prince Rogers Nelson, I love and miss you everyday....

[@kateichacker3145]

She's so amazing. No wonder P loved her.

[@evini7338]

Thanx, Love/crush Janelle. Prince was a heavy musical influence

[@mexton]

Love Her She’s Beautiful and Awesome!❤

[@penny4penny594]

JANELLE I love you for this beautiful tribute to my personal King. Prince.Be Wild. PURPLE MAJESTY

[@voicenoteswithbrookewilliams]

she even speaks like prince did in interviews :’£”)

[@Luxurytrash_]

No one compares 2 Prince... except Janelle Monáe.

[@rodentcafeteria]

Good thing someone from Prince's camp was there to assure her that it was actually him on the phone. I've heard other celebrities talk about Prince calling them out of the blue and they hung up, thinking someone was playing a joke on them. Really sad that he passed away before she got a chance to work with him in a major way. I can't think of a better tutor any young performer could hope for.

[@beoverwait]

Dang it! Why couldn't I have gotten a call from PRINCE?????

[@Nubias]

Perhaps you still will.

[@SJtheMFZB]

Hi, Janelle. This is the first time I've heard you speak in a conversational tone. I think your image and artistry are really cool. You inspire me to embrace my identity and all of the eccentricities they entail daily. You are to me as Prince is to you. I am expecting that phone call from you someday. Remember this comment.

[@DJJezzebella]

I am not crying. I just got something in my eye. Shut up.

[@araynahamilton1085]

Who DIDN'T Prince know? #Prince4Ever💜

[@ItsAllLove4Real]

Loved this interview...No slick undertones, it felt like an actual conversation🥰

[@richalex6785]

Wow that’s amazing that he chose her to continue on with his voice speaking through her. I remember hearing an interview with Tika and she said the Prince said he was done with this life. So he is on to the next life and conquering that.

[@susanperron2703]

He was. Is. The best

[@axemtitanium]

Janelle Monae needs to play Prince in the biopic. Change my mind.

[@tamarichaniece]

Benjamin Lu THAT WOULD BE SO LIT🔥

[@LadybugLuv]

I am just now seeing this, but you are my soul friend because I've been thissaying all the time in my Facebook group, but most of them can't see it! Of course it would be an alternative version, but she would be fantastic! Just think, if Prince fell through a rabbit hole, I can see him coming out as Janelle Monae! An alternate version of Purple Rain starring her would be awesome and I'd pay to see it!

[@tenieshaparker6437]

I need this to become a script

I dig it but how would this work?

[@skygazer6898]

This lady is pure gold

[@dorothydrake8838]

I was listening to Shelby J give an interview, and she said similar about not feeling alone - she said before she goes out on stage for a show, she says a little prayer and asks Prince to walk with her onto the stage. And she said she actually feels his presence with her. Prince was strong in life. All 5ft 2 in of him. And he has a strong spirit too. God made Prince short on purpose so that he wouldn’t go into the NBA.

You cannot speak with the deceased.
