Janelle Monae: Meta Critic's The Best Music of 2010 So Far...#1 ArchAndroid

We’re only halfway through with 2010, but already we have an album with better reviews than any disc released in all of 2009. A protégé of OutKast’s Big Boi and Sean Combs, the Atlanta-based singer-songwriter-dancer Janelle Monáe released her first full-length album in May after first making a name for herself with her 2007 EP Metropolis. The ArchAndroid 90 — a science fiction-influenced mash-up of pop, funk, rap, and virtually any other genre you can think of — is the year’s best-reviewed album so far, and cements Monáe’s place as one of R&B’s most creatively ambitious young stars.

Janelle Monae is the TRUTH!!!

GET HER CD TODAY...ARCHANDROID IS UNLIKE ANYTHING YOU'VE HEARD, SIMPLY REMARKABLE!!!

Janet Is Back!!!...Essence Music Festival 2010

Well, just when some people thought Janet was pretty much through with the business of music and performing, all the internet is abuzz with rave reviews about Janet's performance at the 15th Annual Essence Music Festival in New Orleans over the Fourth of July weekend. Janet Jackson opened up the festival with Alicia Keys in the middle and Mary J. Blige closing it down, along with a long list of other notable artists. Ms. Jackson had over 30 garment changes and her set lasted over two hours. I read some of the blogs and Jackson fans are ectastic and can't wait to see the show on DVD or on TV ONE for those of us who missed it! Some might feel Jackson is competing with younger artists, but some are too young or have forgotten that Janet Jackson and Madonna really set the stage and paved the way for today's female pop stars like Britney Spears, Ciara, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna and Christina Aguilera. They're the originals!
