I was fortunate enough to attend this phenomenal performance by Ms. Janelle Monae at the SkyBar. This was the first stop of my jam packed Grammy weekend in HollyWeird, and hands down, the best show I’ve ever seen. Of course, this footage was taken before Ms. Monae ran back and forth through the crowd, jumped in the pool, did a few laps, came back, baptized herself in Figi water, and then climbed a tree…all in a tuxedo. I think I have a girl crush.
Thank you to Tunji for filming this and hosting it so quickly!

YES!!!!!
The absolute BEST concert ever! I’ve seen Madonna and U2 in the most amazing venues.
This moved me more than anything in my entire life!
I’m her newest and biggest fan.
@yummadoyou exactly my sentiments. I have been to a fair amount of shows in my day, and this one was up there in the ‘James Brown’ category. She performed her ass off.
You are so interesting! I do not suppose I’ve truly read anything like this before. So wonderful to discover someone with some genuine thoughts on this subject matter. Seriously.. thanks for starting this up. This website is something that’s needed on the internet, someone with a little originality!
