Rap-Up.com || Janelle Monáe, Bruno Mars, & B.o.B Rehearse for Grammys

Janelle Monáe stormed the stage at the Staples Center during rehearsals for the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards today in Los Angeles. The two-time nominee will perform at Sunday’s show alongside her labelmates B.o.B and Bruno Mars, who also ran through their sets.

Legendary music mogul Clive Davis said that the “Tightrope” singer is his pick for best new artist of the year, even though she did not get nominated in that category. She will perform in front of Davis, Whitney Houston, R. Kelly, and other famous faces at the pre-Grammy gala tomorrow night in Beverly Hills.

I’m so glad they let Janelle perform on the big stage. She’s gonna tear it up. This is the perfect exposure for her. There’s nobody like her at the moment. She represents a golden era of black music and her band is wicked.

Awesome… Janelle Monáe and Bobby Ray are two of my favs. They’re both so creative and unique in a field of conformity. All three of them will definitely rock the arena.. and look stunning in the process.

Is R. Kelly really gonna be there? R. Kelly don’t really do awards shows unless he’s winning or performing. If Kellz is gonna be there I might watch.

I hate janelle monaé, having an ugly ass haircut and some suit or any other extravagant clothes does not turn you into a good singer. Go get you a proper girl style darling.

I’m going to leave a message of great positivity to erase the hateful dddd’s message. Janelle, I wish you all the luck in what you’re trying to achieve, to change somebody’s world by inspiring them with your music, to empower and encourage the people. I admit I too wasn’t a fan of the hairstyle at first but your music is delightful (understatement). Now I love your music and what you stand for, I love the hairstyle (it’s pretty cool :P)

dddd clearly has no musical ear because you’re a phenomenal singer, being versatile, you can sing in so many different style and so elaborately yet refined. Couldn’t ask for more in a musician or singer or songwriter. Everyone has haters but there are so many people that love and appreciate you :)

Janelle Monae has a recognisable style at the moment, but back when she was in the Morris Brown vid for Outkast etc she had a cute afro and cute forties style girlie clothes and got little recognition. She now is gettign recognition so obviously the new style is working. Moreover from that it’s the music that counts and she is a fantastic singer having heard her live and working in the music industry myself, plus has had rave reviews by people whose business it is to review these things due to their years of experience in doing so. And she’s been nominated for two Grammys which means the industry not only the public, think she’s something pretty special. So basically these people where her music isn’t their cup of tea instead of just realising this are actaully writing hate about her. What a waste of their time and also their comments have no place in fact. It’s merely their opinion based on very little knowledge and they should spend their time doing something else that’s more positive. Otherwise they are basically a negative waste of space on this planet.
