Welcome to her world:My Janelle Monae live show experience.

Published March 30, 2010 | By clandestinechic

Words to describe a Janelle Monae show?  An experience.

I’ve written about my admiration of Ms. Monae’s style here before and I’ve also written how inspiring her music is.  So you know I was beyond psyched when I found out she was coming to Chicago to perform at Chicago’s legendary Schubas Tavern.

It was about 9:45 when Ms. Monae appeared on stage in a hooded cape.  The sold out crowd was welcomed to her universe and reminded by an announcer that the time for tweeting and status updates on Facebook was over. After that, Janelle Monae sang , danced and worked the crowd the entire night. Most of the songs she performed were from her upcoming album, The Archandroid, including Tightrope and Cold War (my favorite).

And everyone? If Janelle Monae is coming to your town, I’d definitely suggest checking her out. I can almost guarantee that you will dance and have a good time.

Here are some more pics from the awesome night*.  Although I was beyond exhausted (I’m finally grasping the fact that I’m no longer the night owl I used to be), I still went to sleep with a huge smile on my face.

*Major thanks to my friend, Cicely, for taking the pictures since I’m such a small fry.

    She's beyond awesome live. Seen her twice and those are still the two best live performances I've seen.

    She jumped in a frigging pool, swam two laps and climbed a tree. AWESOME.
