I really can't stand it when people go all out their way to be different. Dont transform who you are, be yourself and if that doesn't set you apart from everyone else then you're just BLAH, sorry.[/quote] Annoys you as a person, maybe your just a plain jane yourself ever think of it that way? I don't think that you've actually sat down and had a conversation with Ms.Monae. If her music is so different the obviously she going to be different. Your probably one of those people that like Rhianna anyway. Who are you to judge who is being themselves. Go to a Janelle concert and i guarentee yiu just might change you mind. Kudos to Mrs. Obama/Kanye-I understand Real cut that bull off please it looks like New Yorks weave now. Uncle Luke-no comment[/quote] TOO PERSONAL THIS DAMYUM EARLY IN THE MORING!

I luv me some REAL and wish

I luv me some REAL and wish that brother could be my husband, even though his hair is healthier than mine. He's down to earth and loves God. A business man that is going to be up and coming. I want a husband just like him.

Steve Nash and Baron Davis

Steve Nash and Baron Davis video was more like Dumb and Dumber than the Step Brothers movie. It was also kinda boring. and I love Janelle Monae music! I am also glad that she spells our name right, JANELLE...... one A and N, two E's, two L 's and a J not G, lol

I like Janelle and everything

I like Janelle and everything but...I just don't know who her fan base is. Her music is odd. Good luck with the album anyway. ~ Congrats to Chelle and Kanye. Murse and all. ~ Who the hell is Luke Campbell? They give anybody a reality show nowadays. I bet I could get one...and it would be more interesting than the f*ckery above. And that last picture just made me upchuck my chicken. ~ Bye Zillz!

I am more than disappointed

I am more than disappointed in Vh1's exploitation of Blacks. I hate uncle luke who obviously is sexist and shows his extreme sexism not only in his music (of course) but in his parenting. His son is to have many girlfriends and be a player but his daughter is not to date at all. And how dare he act like he have respect for woman, whether its his daughter or his wife. And what about all the women he blatently has respected his whole career are they not mothers and sisters and daughters. And what do you mean how long does it take to make grits. His wife is an idiot for marrying him. God I am embarrassed of Black men. Ick.

Happy Sunday All! Kanye

Happy Sunday All! Kanye congrats to u baby! i love a man with confidence. i know he sometimes seems divaish, but he still is a killa in my book. 'Chelle, hold ya head. I know the media is trying to come at all angles against obama, but we are all riding with you in november. Janelle Monet is ok i guess. i like the difference in the music in all, but she still seems as if she is going against the grain so hard its kinda sketchy. idk, time will tell...

Steve and Baron...that

Steve and Baron...that cracked me up. That was too funny...Steve got mad dancing skills, though. Sorry to say, but neither Michelle or Kanye impress me in the style department...I actually love the way RiRi, Solange, and Badu dress...they have a style all their own no matter who or what they are wearing and to me that is impressive. Bye, Z...umm, can I play in your hair? lol
