She could have been just another chick with a weave and too-tight outfit singing the same old songs. Kudos for doing something different.
That being said, I’m not really feeling her music.

Apples & oranges as far as I’m concerned…

I do have a small concern about the videos: The music is competing with the audio interview. It’s okay to open and close with her music but if you’re going to put music in between, the volume needs to be turned down OR find a lyric-free segment and loop it. Ideally I don’t think there should be ANY music during the audio interview.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with in 2009!

That was me above. I think she’s lovely. Her spirit, music and values are her own and I respect these things tremendously. Here’s to individuality and having the courage to be who you are.

Everyone’s entitled to their musical opinion, but this ain’t that kind of blog. I keep things positive and drama free around these parts.

Way to bring Afrobella of the Month back with a bang :) I LOVE JANELLE MONAE. She was a perfect choice. She exemplifies not only the limitless possibilities of our hair but also that we as women simply should not be limited at all. And she is so confident and demands respect. Plus the obvious tons of talent she drips! Thanks Bella
