You would think that after waiting about 3 1/2 hours for a show to start, the crowd would be grumpy and bitter towards the artist right? Definitely not the case when the artist is some one like Janelle
Monae, the larger than life future of music. Chris and I had the pleasure of enjoying her performance last night at the Delano Hotel in the Florida Room on South Beach. The atmosphere was amazing with the DJ playing hits from Micheal Jackson to
Mya as we waited for the pint sized
Monae to arrive. Christopher wasn't to familiar with
Monae so I briefed him with what she'd be wearing...her signature look of a white tuxedo shirt, black tie, black pants, and black and white oxfords....and I "attempted" to sing some of
Sincerely Jane, "You'll know it when you here it"...to save myself the
embarrassment.
She started the show with
Violet Stars Happy Hunting and kept us rocking for the next 30
mins. Yes the performance was short and sweet but, with all the energy she gave us I couldn't blame her. She put her all into her performance and we could honestly feel her love for music. I swear Janelle's the kind of artist you want to keep to yourself because you don't want other people saying she's their favorite artist...but there's no way
that'll happen because her career is taking off like a rocket.
Diddy(the great investor) wasted no time signing Janelle so uh oh you know what that means..... Platinum records, Tons of fans, Super stardom, the whole nine.
