Alyssa Rosenberg has an interesting essay about how Monae is a kind of hip-hop Ziggy Stardust, with her James Brown pompadour and her Michael Jackson dance moves. But the thing I love about the video is her unusual screen presence and how she bugs her eyes out when she starts singing. Very unusual, but fun to watch.

Dance up on them Haters
I'm totally loving this Janelle Monae video.

Okay, I hadn't seen that before and that was awesome. I'm a total sucker for some fancy dancing.
Yup, me too. In the other video I linked to she moonwalks a bit - which seems like it should be a cliched move by now, except that no one is really good enough to do it well...
