Tf y’all talking about that he didn’t like Janelle’s cover? He mentored her. He barely grooves to anyone’s covers of his and he was BOPPING! And that smile at the end couldn’t have assured anyone more on how close they were.
He was a proud teacher looking at the success of his student. You can tell how proud he is of Janelle Monáe. Like these people need to stop acting like every artist has to be filled with emotions. Sometimes they don’t know how to act and just jams out.
Glad to know im not the only 1 who stored this in my Happy Memories. This was him co signing her and being comfortable that his Artistry and Legacy can rest comfortably in the hands of the next generation and wasnt all in vain or forgotten amongst the youth. Prince dont nod or sit up for NOBODY But Jehovah God. This was her Ascension.
This was iconic I remeber watching this over and over again as a kid I recorded it on my blackberry and made it my ring tone I just couldn't get enough of this performance
Janelle Monae was on 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Prince is very low key and shows no expression but that night he did. Is insides were like 🥳🤑🥰😂🤪🤯💥🎊🎉. Best performance by Janelle and Prince approved.
I wish she would've done "Computer Blue." The name would've fit it with androgynous android theme, plus I could totally imagine, "Janelle? Yes, Tessa. Is the water warm enough? Yes, Tessa. Shall we begin? Yes, Tessa." But Computer Blue wasn't a radio friendly hit, and I'm not sure if Janelle & Tessa were together yet.
She Was Is Ahead Of her time. I Remember like It Wss Yesterfay Watching this. She became A Star After. The 2010 BET Awards Were the 1st And last Good BET Awards Of the 2010’s
Had to come back to this video. Awesome performance. These comments though lol Some of y'all are definitely new to Janelle. lol Oh well. People like what they like. 😂🤷🏿♀️ ArchAndroid is a masterpiece, may want to start there in regards to her work.
I remember when this happened, I was laughing like a mf in front of my tv. I was like “ who tf is this ? Wtf is she doing ? Where tf is the rap artist at? “ Lmfaoo
I loved this but Bruno Mars did a even better job at the Grammys after prince died. He played the same song and had a pretty good guitar solo at the end.
She basically spazzed out with mediocre vocals then shrieked at the end because she can't hit a killer note. It's like a mixture of crazy aunt doing karaoke and kid's talent show. Prince was very restrained
He was her mentor, they worked together. I read in the comment section that he was a jehovah witness and so he was uncomfortable with anything tribute-wise. But you see in the end he smiled and clapped for her.
@@Lindae696969 You wouldn't know but also THEY'RE LITERALLY FRIENDS AND HE PASSED DOWN HIS SYNTHS TO HER ETC, Like y'all be fans on the side acting like you know what he likes and doesn't like. They had a good relationship and he vouched for her etc. I can't stand yall
@@izzy6003 I am sorry to hurt your feelings, but she is not that good. Whether he is friends with her or not. Her musicianship skills are average not like Bruno Mars or H.E.R. But right now there are much bigger problems happening today as the crisis in Afghanistan, inflation, violence. Have a nice day and cheer up.
