I've seen some of her music/dancing videos and enjoyed them immensely, but that's the first interview I've ever seen of her and I have to say: What a class act! Smart, tasteful, well-spoken, humble, talented, gracious, kind, self-aware yet confident and hard-working. A true paragon for people of all ages.
Not quite the style I go for but I really like the person. Can't pretend that I know her through and through but she makes me want to discover more about her which is a good thing. She seems to have that IT factor that turns her into a people magnet. :)
ceyrai - Yes, she has a very calming, soothing and expressive manner. A lovely lady and a humane human, a rare quality these days, rarer than it should be.
What I love about Stephen and his interviews is that he genuinely finds something to connect with with most people and it’s so wonderful to see the world through his connections with people!
Jesus Christ, I feel you my brother, and I do love and appreciate her music. I guess I just want to listen to that voice in any application. If she ever does read for an audiobook it will be amazing.
I love Janelle Monae, she’s amazing and fierce! It’s really cool that she likes twilight zone and Octavia Butler, also afrofutureism, i love her sci-fi style. Also pan visibility for the win!!🏳️🌈
i could listen to her talk for hours........tell stories, maybe an audiobook........uff........ so soothing...... cheers to her for her beautiful message in this interview.
New Message - She's a super intelligent, science loving, Black woman living in a world that tells her she is at the lowest level of beauty and class, WhiteSupremacy makes this world a "type of Hell" for all people classified as Black by Whitepeople, so if you mean that it's not fair that her and other Black women like her (since 1619), have had it so hard then I agree with you, BUT if you are just looking at her talents/her looks and making an out of context judgment, I have to whole-heartedly push back on your statement.
New Message - ahhhhh the call "every comment trolling" and taking comments out of context, Straw man technique... WHEN did I say that you insulted anyone??????? I actually said that I agree with you IF, or that I push back on you statement IF, please tell me how my comment somehow is accusing you of anything and tell me how my comment is not civil????
Janelle is the definition of a true artist. Pure and in its rawest form. The woman is just dope all around! Her creativity and ability to think outside the box just fascinates me and inspires me to no end.
janelle just nailed why i watch sci fi,to escape,imagine the explainable it has helped me deal with downright nutty personalities without losing my cool,i only vent at home or at the gym
Janelle Monae, Queen of all Queens, love her, smart, introspective, brilliant, positive, humble, one of the best of our generation. I wish she would get the media coverage, accolades she deserve.
Stevie Wonder IS American Wakanda. He is not an island, but a continent of black awesomeness. I am and have always been a lover of FUNK, and Stevie was one of the first funquanauts and his hooks (especially of the 70s) have held me ever since I heard him for the first time. Janelle, you are so lucky to know and count him as a mentor!
HUGE Janelle fan, just saw her show this week. LOVE her and I could listen to her talk about quotidian life for hours. Absolute voice of this generation and all too relateable. Can't wait to keep up with her future projects!
oh my goodness, her voice is so smooth and calming, and she has a really insightful and inclusive perspective. I could listen to her talking about sci-fi for hours.
Happy Birthday Janelle Monae. UR beautiful, I love Rio 2, it's awesome. May the Peace be with u. From Harlingen Texas. December 1, 1985 December 1, 2020 through December 1, 3020

Her speaking voice is so soothing, and she's so well-spoken.
ceyrai well spoken? You expecting her to come out talking like Madea
Antuan Grantham - Is negative criticism all that you have to offer?
ceyrai - Yes, she has a very calming, soothing and expressive manner. A lovely lady and a humane human, a rare quality these days, rarer than it should be.
If she were a slave would she talk the same? Just an observation🧐
True. Sade’s kinfolk. I’m hypnotized. 😳
What I love about Stephen and his interviews is that he genuinely finds something to connect with with most people and it’s so wonderful to see the world through his connections with people!
You should check out Larry King
Has she recorded any audio books? I'd like to hear her read me a bedtime story.
OMG I was literally thinking the same thing, before I saw this comment! I need Janelle Monae to read me a story of a hopeful and peaceful future.
RawDog she has recorded albums....so, that's like her story, on track
Jesus Christ, I feel you my brother, and I do love and appreciate her music. I guess I just want to listen to that voice in any application. If she ever does read for an audiobook it will be amazing.
RawDog great idea
The ArchAndroid would make great for an audiobook narrated by her
she speaks so calmly, I like her voice. :)
shes got a voice like melted butter i lov her so much
She’s too good for this world 😍
I didn't know her but I just fell in love! :)
I thought the singing voice was good enough but her speaking voice is just angelic. Please do an audiobook Janelle!
She dresses like she's an ambassador from the Rhythm Nation
Her outfit is an Homage to Prince's Sign 'o' the times!
I mean I definitely wouldn't argue against it
@@ericseveneleven That hat, ponytail and earrings are full-on Rhythm Nation.
I know right! She’s a janet fan and i loved her speech when janet was being inducted in the hall of fame.
I like your comment.
I love Janelle Monae, she’s amazing and fierce! It’s really cool that she likes twilight zone and Octavia Butler, also afrofutureism, i love her sci-fi style. Also pan visibility for the win!!🏳️🌈
sid2tiger6 I agree. To me, listening to her is soothing. She's a testament to the evolution of the human race... She's such a (an honorary) TREKKY!!
Pan party! 💖💙💚💛🧡💜💗
Awesome. Fellow nerds unite! What an inspiring beautiful human being Janelle is. I wish I was at that party!
Jill Niemczynski I LOVE when NERD POWER Shines!!!
Her voice, her mind.. Damn!!
Janelle is Queen
Lord Beaconsfield Stay MAD
I see they've programmed the Russian bots to be racist now.
Sociopath alert. The pets are disappearing in your neighborhood for sure....
i cannot like this comment enough! i love her so damn much she is so damn talented
Q.U.E.E.N. lol
i could listen to her talk for hours........tell stories, maybe an audiobook........uff........
so soothing......
cheers to her for her beautiful message in this interview.
Lady can sing, act, has a razor sharp mind, and is beyond beautiful...
Not fair at all.

Ah yes.. the 'flip' trolling technique, where you mischaracterize the obvious compliment as an insult. Tired. Try harder.

New Message o
One of the best speaking voices on TV/film.
ikr, Janelle should do voice acting
LaurenJauregi IsMyQueen I think she might be doing it in her latest movie "Welcome to Marwen"
She's so gorgeous 😍
Janelle is the definition of a true artist. Pure and in its rawest form. The woman is just dope all around! Her creativity and ability to think outside the box just fascinates me and inspires me to no end.
Such an articulate and brilliant young woman. Awesome interview. Glad Stephen allowed her express herself.
I'm so attracted to their sultry voice.
Bonus Points for neutral term!~
Lord Beaconsfield You're looking for The Sean Hannity section. Let me show you out.
Bruh you don’t need to use nuetral terms when Janelle clearly says she is a woman. Lmao.
Lila E wrong
She's dressed like Prince from back in the day...cross between "sign of the times" (the hat) and "lovesexy" (the poka dot outfit) wow!!!
She was mentored by Prince up until he died.
Damn, she's lovely.
Isn't she lovely ;)
Isn't she wonderful?
sdfkjgh
Isn't she magic,after all?
janelle just nailed why i watch sci fi,to escape,imagine the explainable it has helped me deal with downright nutty personalities without losing my cool,i only vent at home or at the gym
she full of charm and grace
and so much calm
I love Janelle. She is an amazing, talented, well-spoken woman. And I just love her outfit.
She sings so well obvs but it’s her talking voice is something I wish narrated my life.
I love her calm demeanor and her natural beauty! I love the ending too
should be illegal to be this beautiful
Janelle Monae, Queen of all Queens, love her, smart, introspective, brilliant, positive, humble, one of the best of our generation. I wish she would get the media coverage, accolades she deserve.
She's the best 😍
WOW ... both Obamas, Stevie Wonder ... oh do I MISS these times when we were spoiled :o)
Hey, African Futurism??? I'd vote for that party :o)
Stevie Wonder is still here.
Dirty Computer is probably my favorite album this year. Q U E E N
moonwalkingthroughlife It's definitely mine. She's brilliant.
Me, too!!! She's "the American dream!" 🎵😌💜
Me too I went to her Concert last week. Amazing
Particularly good song of hers 🎶💜🎶 (The American Dream)
Stevie Wonder IS American Wakanda. He is not an island, but a continent of black awesomeness. I am and have always been a lover of FUNK, and Stevie was one of the first funquanauts and his hooks (especially of the 70s) have held me ever since I heard him for the first time.

Thank you, Janelle Monae, for introducing me to writer Octavia E. Butler. I'm going to start reading her books.
Start with Kindred, EXCELLENT novel
Exxperiment626 Thank you! I will look out for that novel first.
Then read Parable of the Sower. It really has some timely themes that resonate today.
HUGE Janelle fan, just saw her show this week. LOVE her and I could listen to her talk about quotidian life for hours. Absolute voice of this generation and all too relateable. Can't wait to keep up with her future projects!
the most beautiful woman inside and out 💜💜💜
Her laugh was adorbs
I love her voice.
She seems just wonderful. *sighs wistfully*
Just saw her in concert a few days ago. Amazing!! Love her! ❤️
Sis speaking voice is so beautiful 😍 I could come home to her every night bless
Good interview but the clip didn't give us even close to enough of Janelle and Stephen dancing on the desk. I feel cheated.
I love how much of a beautiful loving person Janelle Monae is.
Janelle Monae has a beautiful vibe...and speaking voice!
That party will probably never be topped in the "everything feels right in this moment, in this century" category.
Her voice is so calming.
Her voice could put me to sleep, it's so soothing. I love listening to her speak.
She’s got such a beautiful light. Pure class man.
Hot, Cool and she knows the Obamas know how to throw a party
Moses Jonson she has a weird sexuality tho
Harold Jones what do you mean by that?
Harold Jones she could still get it
Who the hell cares what her sexuality is FFS...
A great and talented goddess...Stevie is a great mentor too
I could listen to her speak all day long. Her voice is amazing.
She’s amazing so humble and amazing
She's so open, honest and has so much to say. I could listen to her for hours, I love her to death.
Janelle is amazing!!!!!!!!!

I love how Steve is just enthralled and genuinely listening - mad respect. That's a good host right there
She’s so beautiful and well-spoken. Eccentric, but beautiful and well-spoken! Such a modern day icon!

This is the best video 😘
revolutionary and inspirational. these words are thrown around a lot but this is as real as it gets. i love janelle so much
She looks like she stepped off the pages of Jojos Bizarre Adventure. Her stand would definitely be Prince.
Jamick98Geass lmao
MAN SOMEONE GOTTA DRAW THAT SHIT
Her calm and serene composure is extremely impressive. I love her so much.
An authentic voice from a remarkable young woman -- we are fortunate to have her.
Gotta love Stephen Colbert. He just goes for it. Dancing on the desk. Very cool!

One of the few western artists I'm still willing to follow. :)
Need more K-Pop on the Late Show, for sure. Some collabs with western artists like Janelle would be amazing. Janelle with Mamamoo would be incredible.
