Janele Monae covers Michael's Favorite Song: Smile

I really like her style. Check out her song, "Tightrope."

That's a very nice cover of a classic.  This is a performer with some legitimate skills.  I for one am bored with all the gimmickry that is substituted for good singing and heart these days.  I hope Janelle is around for a long time to come.  She's a  breath of fresh air and a welcome relief--an anti-dote for Rhianna and Lady Gaga.

She sure is.  I like that she doesn't trade on her sexuality to sell records.  Now THAT is quite unusual these days.  She just lets her talent speak for itself.
