Video of Janelle Monáe performing “Tightrope” On Letterman
The ArchAndroid out now
May 19, 2010 Janelle Monáe
Janelle Monáe‘s rousing rendition of “Tightrope” for last night’s Late Show with David Letterman was one of the best late-night performances in several years. Ms. Monae busted out some “classy brass,” the tightrope dance, superhero capes, and synchronized band moves.
Also, Diddy stops by the studio. (Or as Dave calls him, “Seaaaaan.”) Basically, you need to see this. It would probably make Oscar the Grouch smile. (Via Prefix Mag.)
Monae’s debut LP, The ArchAndroid, came out yesterday. She has an upcoming tour supporting Erykah Badu that will be full of must-see appearances.
