to shhh,
i will say i agree with you about her style of music changing. I still have the first album that came into circulation of the AUC in 2003 or 2004 and its completely different (more neo-soul, earthy) from her music now and unfortunately, I’m not as much a fan of her now as I used to be. Although, I still hope all the success for her career!

Well it did say on Vibe.com that she was 19 and that was just a few years ago. Unless she lied about her age? I don’t know. That’s what they do in show business. I guess we’ll find out sooner or later.

If you went to school with her and all that you saying, then you should know her age. You said that the she’s 22, because you are 22. I’m giving you the opportunity to say that you were mistaken, because I know I’m not. You can get the information for free on the internet.

As far as her being sweet and kind, that’s a matter of opinion. I can’t tell you what your opinion is or should be. But I stand by EVERYTHING I’ve said.

I’m with Shhhh, and yes I know her personally as well. Oh and to Sabrina…it ain’t where you’re from it’s where you’re at. Janelle is a beautiful girl on the outside, but her personality is definitely a disappointment. Of course I can only speak from my own experiences. I am certain there are plenty of people who know her more personally and may not deal with Janelle in the same capacity. However, there is nothing more disheartening than believing in someone and praying for them only to reciprocate condescending hellos and half-ass, Hollywood hugs. I will continue to pray for her success, despite the ridiculous decision to side with Sean Combs. I will also pray for a gentle humbling as I’m sure that between her conceit and the curse of Bad Boy Recordings, she will encounter one soon enough.

@sabrina

I’m really not tryin to argue with you, because i don’t want to be a bad representation on Janelle and where she’s from because i don’t think she would appreciate it. She is a kind hearted individual and I am going to take a page out of her book and treat you with kindness. I think you are really saying these things because you are concerned about her career and you want good music like the rest of us do. That is something we share in common. Overall, once again, I did go to school with her. And I DO know my own age. and I DO know that we were in class together. But i’m not trying to argue with you, i’m just tryin to shed some light on the subject.

I think that her signing to Bad Boy could be a great thing and hopefully, she’ll get some albums out. We need more people like her voices to be heard.

And To H.B.I.C. Janelle’s style is beautiful and she’s natural too. Don’t hate on your own, if you wish the best for people, then you can share in their success when things go well for them. Otherwise, you will just be standing on the sidelines while a movement happens.

Wow, Shhhh. If you do know her, what did she ever do to make you so negative towards her? Look, The girl is about to blow up. I hope you have your hate under control because if you already have so many negative things to say about her, you’re going to have a stroke or heart attack when she’s at the Grammys and selling out arenas. She shut down a room full of stuck-up industry big wigs and celebrities (2 standing ovations!? C’mon!)

You’re the same type of person that hated when Andre 3000 took his art up a notch. I guess you’re not a fan of growth and development? The girl found her swag. And it was influenced more by James Brown, Judy Garland, Lauren Hill, Outkast, Michael Jackson and the Hives than by Fantasia or Keyshia Cole. You sound like someone who was an acquaintance of hers that got left behind. Oh yeah, and Janelle Monáe IS DEFINITELY NOT 27 years old. And you accused the other girl of lying? Wow.

And she was ALWAYS an independent artist.

Janelle’s style is BEAUTIFUL.Thats the problem nowadays, everyone wants to look the same and cant accept anything different. My question for #30, what is ridiculous about her hair? Does it have anything to do with the fact that she is natural?

I’m from Atlanta and I’ve heard of her, but her music is too weird for me to get into. Yeah, she can sing, but I’m not feeling all of this “out of space” ****. And she always looks like a damn fool, her outfits, hair, all of it looks ridiculous.

@#26

I guess this is when I’m suppose to start saying everything I know? Girl please go sit down. It’s really sad when some would haul off and call someone a liar only to be lying. You know D*MN F*CKING well she is not 22 years old. Why would you sit and say that? Then you think by saying all that other stuff makes you to be telling the truth.

Her age is public record, look it up for anyone that likes facts. All that other stuff about her being smart and such. I never said once that she was stupid. But while we’re on the subject, she couldn’t possibly be to smart from what they say signing with Bad Boy has ruined her career. And if she still signed with Purple Ribbon in anyway, she surely couldn’t be too smart.
