The Marvelous Janelle Monáe Joins Ellen

The Grammy-nominated singer sat down with Ellen for the first time to chat about her remarkable new film roles.

[@AllTimeNiamh]

Janelle is honestly one of the most well spoken, beautiful women ever. Her songs are phenomenal, and all the work she does is admirable.

[@AllTimeNiamh]

twistedblktrekie i don't actually. The fact is however that quite a lot of people are actually not very well spoken, whether famous or not. It's refreshing to see that this seems to be the way female celebrities tend to be heading towards, I think it says a lot. I've been a fan of hers for years, I'm simply stating what I believe to be true.

[@AllTimeNiamh]

twistedblktrekie so is that meant to mean that I don't surround myself with them just because I find it impressive how well spoken she is? That couldn't be further from the truth, considering I am in the final year of my degree at a Russel Group University, and have achieved a 1st class degree so far.

[@shreerav]

+Niamh O'Hara Well said Niamh. You can't even pay someone a simple complement these days without having it scrutinised!

[@AllTimeNiamh]

twistedblktrekie the thing is, it's still not incredibly common for celebrities to be so articulate. I fail to see how you could possibly take offence to me pointing out that the woman obviously knows what she is talking about and I'm impressed by it. Same way I am impressed by anyone who holds knowledge - for example, I am impressed that you know how to create an acronym and use the word articulate.

[@AllTimeNiamh]

shree thank you! I don't get why this person is getting so annoyed over it

[@michellesmith2742]

Her voice is so soothing.

[@MishaExAye]

I honestly said out loud that she has the most pleasing voice and pronunciation I've hard in a long time. ...My co-workers and boss gave me eyes ఠ ͟ಠ

[@capibentto5763]

Ik right

[@ellej.winsett3701]

she has such a quiet power to her voice and her mannerisms that she hushed the audience as if they were sitting in for a lecture. Janelle is my hero.

[@chunky0077]

Elle J. Winsett I felt the exact same way!

[@dsp7631]

So much elegance and class in a young woman, refreshing to see.

[@ori4807]

MADAME DON subscribe in my channel please nd i will give it back to u

[@axlewavey4144]

She is beautiful and classy!

[@stephe.8818]

MADAME DON ikr she dresses so classy and beautifully and did not bleach her beautiful brown skin.

[@dsp7631]

@ Steph E. Why did you mention skin bleaching?

[@jaioliver2580]

MADAME DON

[@jcanthony16]

Janelle is a breath of fresh air. So beautiful, intelligent, talented and elegant

[@Mad-wv6ol]

That my wife

[@elijahjobmason4638]

If the movie is one story based on a hidden part of AA history, imagine how much more stories are still hiding waiting to be revealed and heard.

[@Breerox108]

so many!!

[@Danieei]

Jeremiah Job Mason very true !!!! :))

[@Slayton701]

Elijah Job Mason ** 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.

[@tacoboutit_]

I adore her existence so much.

[@EssentialBalance777]

She can silence a whole crowd with that angelic voice of hers.

[@jadx2151]

One of the prettiest women on earth😍😍

[@bluegrey6772]

Anna Celac listen to tightrope remix it's so good 😊😉

[@SDav21]

Jennifer Diaz I like her music too. I also like that song she featured in with Miguel...prime time.

[@jenniferdiaz4128]

+SDav21 yes that one is very nice. It's a smooth R&B

[@SDav21]

Jennifer Diaz Yes it is smooth. Love it. The other popular song of hers was Yoga.

[@GianniStella]

Janelle Monae got styyyle for days

[@ori4807]

Gianni Stella subscribe in my channel please nd i will give it back to u

[@wanderlustiest]

If you have the chance, listen to her albums. They're conceptual, and the music tells the story of an android girl trying to live in a future where human-robot relationships are banned. I highly recommend them!

[@LOUDsigh]

Alvaro Asiares remember her free album "the audition"? she's def got the mustard

[@D3IM2NTEII1]

YES I SECOND THIS. The ArchAndroid is my favourite album ever!

[@DeejayCombs]

I love Janelle so much

[@ori4807]

Deejay Combs subscribe in my channel please nd i will give it back to u

[@MrBurkistan]

Ellen seems nervous around her, not in a bad way more like Janelle emitts such a confidence, steady personality that it becomes a respons to treat her with respect and thoughtfulness.

[@John_Enrique]

Her voice is so soothing and beautiful. So well spoken.

[@curtismartin2842]

I love seeing women doing extraordinary things. LOVE smart women. 💜💜💜

[@C.W.9.]

She is so sweet and humble, and I just love her aura.

[@SchalaKid]

That hairstyle, with the loose puffs and safety pins....YASSS queen! ❤

[@NuhanHidayat]

I know Janelle as a singer but i didn't know that she's a fantastic actress too i love her!!!

[@naungthaw]

She sounds so smoothing! Why is she so lovely?

[@trint3089]

I love this woman! She is so soft spoken and sweet!

[@faboze]

I've been a huge fan of hers since her first album so happy she's finally on talk shows

[@Rachiiie3]

faboze i love your profile pic 😂

[@dransom5821]

She has the most baby doll face I have ever seen?!

[@DanielaGomez-bp5sh]

What a gorgeous woman, very classy, smart and humble human...

[@walker12233]

I could listen to this woman talk all day. Such a soothing voice.

[@batangzo]

Janelle is so inspiring I want to be like her one day

[@user-wg3or1tu5y]

go and get your dreams

[@565chris1]

She is so SO pretty inside and out !!!

[@RichTake]

You can always tell the great singers by the way they speak. Specifically great women singers tend to have husky yet smooth speaking voices.

[@chisomamete6707]

You’ll find Janelle Monáe in two places in the dictionary: first, under the definition of class and second, under the elegance. She’s a true queen!

[@sadiasan]

She is such a classy lady. Her voice is so clear and clean, it is a delight to listen to her.

[@iBMS22]

so pretty in an elegant way i feel like i'm looking at a masterpiece dear lord so unique.. now i gotta see her movies

[@peaceupatowndown6461]

And check out her music. The albums, ArchAndroid and Electric Lady, are masterpieces in their own right. Janelle Monae is the consummate artist.

[@bigkahona8444]

She is beautiful.. first time I see her!

[@LOUDsigh]

Big Kahona u gotta get out more #andriodGirl #metroplious #babBoyRecords

[@Nunofyabizzzzz]

Ellen cancels interview with that lady Kim Burell after homophobic rants and invites Janelle Monae and Pharell instead who openly spoke out against Kim Burell. Ellen is so petty and I love it!

[@marmac44902]

[@zahriyannah6989]

Thank you Janelle Monae for showing little girls of color they don't need to be like Nicki Minaj to get attention ! Your grace and elegance over the past decade has been incredible !!!

[@may8043]

I wish I give you more likes.

[@stephe.8818]

I sure would like to give you more than million likes

[@stephe.8818]

Mayra Forrest girl I'm with you on that one

[@DLoVesJLO]

Zahriyannah Karakashian-Jones best comment ever

[@Tia11111]

Congratulates one women while putting down another wow 🤔

[@jevonk]

Saw Hidden Figures over the weekend and had no idea Janelle Monae was so talented. I knew she could sing but her acting was spot on. Not to mention she was the most beautiful woman in the entire movie. No offense to Taraji and Kirsten but Janelle skin was flawless. Definitely looking forward to her future film projects.

[@superblahok]

AUGH I love Janelle Monae. So excited she's branching out into acting. She is an incredible singer and amazing performer!!!!

[@mariabella19]

Her energy is unreal. Unlike any other human in Hollywood. A true Queen

[@corn4171]

She talks so professional and smooth💯

[@caramelunicorn8023]

Janelle Monae is a true inspiration and role model, especially for those who are different and misfits in society. And she is so cool, calm, collected as well as gracious and love her outfit.

[@EpicBunty]

shes amazing

[@EpicBunty]

ye you too ellen jeez

[@tee_savy100]

This was so pleasing to watch, but it also angers me that these historical BLACK women were not taught in school

[@hiyahiy]

Because they want to teach it

[@harlequinforest777]

I love you Janelle!!! Omg, I'm so proud of you! I saw you live at Afropunk in Brooklyn last summer, you were amazing! You're on a whole other level, for real. You're becoming a legend.

[@hervekaniki4637]

Not only is she an awesome artist, but she is a great human being as well! I Love her energy and everything she's about

[@juliex600]

She is the definition of goals.

[@nishaperez690]

Is it me or is Ellen crushing on Janelle?!!

[@nychic5844]

so eloquent & BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@sparklydisc9389]

Janelle Monae is so beautiful and graceful - a breath of fresh air in a stifling world.

[@Soluchi-InfiniteCoCreatorGod]

Sounds like a great movie.

[@Ornacia29]

I just LOVE the way she composed herself during this interview. You can tell Ellen was truly intrigued with the way she explained 'Moonlight'

[@daniescobarm]

she's so graceful

[@blowtheobstaclesawaykeepwa2355]

I love her humbleness and confidence. It's the perfect balance for someone who looks like she does and the all of the talent she has. I'd like to shake her parent's hands and or her mentors....that person who showed her WHO she is and she chose her path. She's exciting to watch.

[@AndreaLuzon]

Janelle, you are amazing and wonderful. Thank you for your music and everything you are! As a KC resident, I've loved watching your career. Go team Janelle!

[@lucyfoster4082]

She was SO luminous and wonderful in both Moonlight and Hidden Figures.

[@MiaCarter7]

Janelle Monae has been my inspiration for years now. Its cool seeing her career flourish and branch off into other sectors of entertainment. You go, girl!

[@esquibelle]

This lady is the complete package. Hope she sticks around the upper echelons of the creative industries for many years Janelle's only 30 right now ~ but extremely wise & evolved. Add to that her refined beauty & unique style choices ...just wow.

[@BybiGurl1]

felt like i was in another world listening to her speak

[@Daydreamroses]

[@tyk2be]

Janelle, what an amazing woman. Her voice is amazingly soothing. And also beautiful! Just incredible. YAS! Werk.

[@grandma651]

[@koolbreezeuk]

Stunning skin, Beautiful hair, Gorgeous smile...... GODDESS

I've been waiting for this movie to come out for so long!! It's not playing at a theater near me, but if everyone goes to see it, maybe it'll expand to more theaters!

[@chris21taylor]

I love the way Janelle speaks and constructs her sentences. God bless her!

[@theshy897]

I NEED to meet this woman.

[@teddymalvar2897]

Listening to her speak (eloquence, smooth voice, and all) is as amazing as listening to her sing! A true Q.U.E.E.N (HAHA! Song reference!)

[@vuhies2424]

Finally Janelle Monae is getting recognized more! She is one of my all time favorite artists ever; she is just so classy and talented and well-spoken. What a great role model!

[@AllYouNeedIsLove601]

For those who don't recognize, Janelle , she is multi talented. I first knew of her as a model, I am sure you have seen her in magazines and in TV ads for Cover Girl, Pepsi, Target. You might recall seeing her wearing a tuxedo in ads. She is also a singer, songwriter, and actress. She is well known for her song Tightrope and also also sang with Nate Ruess (from Fun.) on We Are Young and appears in the music video. Haven't seen any of her films.

[@cocochante6685]

Love Janelle !! I had the privilege of meeting her and she is an elegant and classy lady!
