Janelle Monae is such an amazing performer, musician, and artist. All that and on top of that she has a brilliant mind and compassionate heart that makes her a very socially conscious individual. She's an inspiration.
Janelle "the classy visual music artist" shows great respect to little Michael Jackson and his brothers by performing their smash debut hit. Rarely duplicated, she does sound a lot like the gifted 10 year old Michael who was blessed with a powerful, and soulful voice. Thanks Janelle. Annalope out...
Also I LOVE Janelle Monae and I never accussed her of copying anybody. She does alot of James Brown moves and is inspired by MJ but she is a very creative artist compared to her peers. You seem to think just because MJ was influenced by James Brown that that is the same as "copying" When Michael was little in the Jackson 5 he did some of James Brown dance moves but as he grew up and developed his own artist outside his family he did own dancing that was in no way similiar to what Brown did
Michael admitted that he was INFLUNCED and when he was younger he studied his dance moves but as he got older he developed his own style. Influencing and copying are two different things. Michael had his own style and James Brown has his own style
Let me be like those other ppl and point out that at 0:07 the keyboard player messed up and forgot to release the C before going up to Db. It just sounds a little too dissonant. Great performance nonetheless. Monae is spectacular...first saw her on Stargate Atlantis n fell in love with her voice, energy and performance ever since. 10 stars
Are you okay? LOL I just ask because you act like you have serious issues or problems because you continue to name call and insult me when I havent done anything to you. He did not copy people, he was influenced by people and he was his own original artist. No I am not claiming he invented all his dance moves but as an overall artist and entertainer he was original and very unique THATS MY OPINION AND IT IS NOT CHANGING and MILLIONS of people would Agree because its true. Agree to Disagree
False? You need to do your research. Michael Jackson has stated numerous times that James was his biggest influence and that he copied James a lot, and Dre said the same thing about Prince.
That is not true. You dont necessarily have to copy someone to get inspired. MJ was also influenced by Jackie Wilson,Sammy Davis Jr but he did not copy any of their dance moves or singing style. Those entertainers inspired him to work hard at his craft and to perfect it. Your logic of what is influenced is is not necessarily accurate. That is just your opinion. Michael never admitted to that he said that he was influenced and inspired, he did not specifically say "copy"
Can you have an intelligent mature conversation without insults and name calling? It just shows that your childish and not really intelligent because you think cussing and name calling valids your arguement... it doesnt it just makes you look foolish. Jus because Janelle is doing a cover doesnt mean all the comments should be about Michael Jackson and his career the video is not about Michael Jackson. It is about Janelle Monae, period.
Ive tried to have a mature debate with you but you have just cussed and insulted me the entire time lol I have a right to express my opinion. I saw a comment that I disagreed with and just responded to it. I am not losing sleep over this obviously like you are. Its not that serious and I have conducted myself way more mature in this debate than you have. I have not disrespected you or called you out your name. Just because its an MJ cover does not mean the video is about MJ because it is not.
Well I disagree. Michael is held as an originator and an innovator and when you are held as those things your not known for copying other people because you set trends and you pioneer things that have not been been which Michael Jackson did. I am not trying to change your opinion I am just responding to the posts you reply back to me with with. And you still insist on cussing and making insults at me like that validatess your arguement lol Cuss and name call away 5 year old lol
Being influenced and copying someone are two different things. MJ was his own artist in his own right. He was influenced by James but he is original and came up with hiw own ideas and style... so FALSE

I am dying here. Janelle, when is the next album coming out?
1:03-1:11 sounds so amazing
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Also I LOVE Janelle Monae and I never accussed her of copying anybody. She does alot of James Brown moves and is inspired by MJ but she is a very creative artist compared to her peers.

@edelien...listen to her album before you call her unoriginal you have no idea what you're talking about.
Michael estaría muy orgulloso
Lol she was on that commercial I love her
Michael admitted that he was INFLUNCED and when he was younger he studied his dance moves but as he got older he developed his own style. Influencing and copying are two different things. Michael had his own style and James Brown has his own style
Moves at 0:05 - 0:07 sooooo sick yo

I'll see what i can find, but this concert is almost 2 years old, so not sure if the whole concert is still up on NRK's website.
She finally heard you....;)
Janelle's voice is perfect for this. Sounds very similar to young Mike. How about that.
This is amazing. Hey, woud you mind uploading them to download in high quality, please? (@myskijn)
Are you okay? LOL I just ask because you act like you have serious issues or problems because you continue to name call and insult me when I havent done anything to you.

Was just thinking the same. Is that shit confirmed? Sorry for an answer to an old post.
This is about Janelle Monae why is MJ and Prince being brought up in HER video?
False? You need to do your research. Michael Jackson has stated numerous times that James was his biggest influence and that he copied James a lot, and Dre said the same thing about Prince.

I always said she sound like Michael when he was little
Ohhh, I said that too when I saw that Tightrope video. She is Micheal Jackson in another life.

Good job. But I think the singer the weekend sounds exactly like the adult Michael.
She's so incredible! Although I think the orchestra drowned her out a bit...
Afghani Throat singing at its finest.
Mike has ADMITTED that he copied a lot from James' style, so TRUE.
I'm alive hehehe
i swear if she wasn't around before MJ died, i would swear on everything i know about music than she is his reincarnation!
Sorry go back
Well I disagree. Michael is held as an originator and an innovator and when you are held as those things your not known for copying other people because you set trends and you pioneer things that have not been been which Michael Jackson did.

Cuss and name call away 5 year old lol
Is that Andre 3000 on the guitar? lol
Being influenced and copying someone are two different things. MJ was his own artist in his own right. He was influenced by James but he is original and came up with hiw own ideas and style... so FALSE
not like michael, but, a great tribute!
Singing the song to fast
Michael Jackson copied James Brown and Andre 3000 copies Prince. so what's your point?
She dances better, but she can't come close to Sheryl Crowe singing this song.
FALSE
