Janelle Monáe Empowers at Nobel Peace Prize Concert [Video]
“There was once a time when I didn’t feel empowered as a young African-American woman. So I wrote this song so that you, no matter what your color is, all women and young girls can find their power,” said Janelle Monáe before performing “Cold War” at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway, earlier this month.
Dressed in her signature black-and-white tux, the Grammy-nominated singer also delivered her single “Tightrope” and a cover of the Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back” before the prestigious female honorees. In addition, she joined Sugarland, David Gray, Jill Scott, Ellie Goulding, and more during the all-star finale of Curtis Mayfield’s “Move On Up.”

Janelle MOnae has improved so much. She was already good but now she’s great. She’s free on the stage now. Her personality is shining through. Awesome performances.

I am crossing my fingers that we get a new album from Janelle Monae in 2012. “The Archandroid” was my favorite album of 2010. Her energy is simply amazing…it shines through so much in her performances.

This chick is a game changer for sure. Truly an artist of her generation. It’s a shame she can’t get some of the gaga shine cause she deserves it.
