Music: Soul/R&B Janelle Monáe

Janelle Monáe may save us all. The lady sings like Judy Garland, dances like Jackie Wilson, and twists pop, rock, jazz, opera, and soul into her own intergalactic funk with an adventurousness that recalls George Clinton's Parliament and her mentors, André 3000 and Big Boi of Outkast. She's the newest and most out-there act on Diddy's Bad Boy Records, and she has also made a major fan of Barack Obama. She even claims to be an alien from outer space. In short, Monáe is one of the most exciting artists to appear on the pop-music horizon in quite some time, so don't miss this chance to experience her live before she goes back to her home planet.
