janelle monae x bet awards 2010

kind of proud to say ive been hip on miss janelle monae, and her bringing back the oxford, prior to her break out performance at this year's black entertainment television awards in which she participated in a prince tribute. a performance that surely was to bring her name to the masses. she's been somewhat of an underground artist though with the quite following. she's a powerhouse talent with a style and a unique presence that she completely owns. so i present to you...janelle monae.

janelle was the first performer. but keep watching to see the ever so talented esperanza spalding and alicia keys.
