On Crushes...




"when everything is wrong i dance inside my head, like a schizo running wild, that's when i come alive"


so i have this extremely weird crush on Janelle Monae,erm, weird because she's a girl but its a non-sexual crush sha...i think. lol. but really that chic ROCKS, she's my fav artiste atm, and believe me when i say she does pure art. gosh, i could listen to 'Cold War', 'Tight Rope', 'Come Alive (War of the Roses)'and 'Many Moons' all day. those are my absolute favorites! sometimes, i think she's intellectual Gaga, but then i think that's an insult to her. *sigh*


"take me 6ft under but while your roses died i came alive..."


i keep thinking the more i play her songs the faster i'll get tired of them, but no, a new fav just creeps in. i wish i could put up videos but they aren't loading properly :( nd gosh, she's so cute too...


"I'm trying to find my peace,
I was made to believe there's something wrong with me
And it hurts my heart"


"Some people talk about ya
Like they know all about ya
When you get down they doubt ya..."


her songs touch this deep place inside of me and sometimes i listen and i just want to cry coz i can relate to a lot of what she's saying. can't quite decide which i like more, her first album 'Metropolis, Suite I: The Chase', or 'The ArchAndroid'






my other major crush at the moment, not a weird one, not an entirely non-sexual one at that too, is Eminem. i dunno if it's the raw emotions in 'Love the Way you lie', or 'Not Afraid', or 'Won't back Down',but i can't stop listening to those songs. and everytime i watch 'Not Afraid', which iTunes seems to be telling me is very often, i just want to... well, i need help, that's all i know. Damn, 'Recovery' is an awesome album, its turning out to be my best Eminem album.



p.s, i'm supposeda be readin but all i've been doing for the past hour is watching videos from these two, so i decided to blog about em...

a crush on eminem?....weird! i was just thinking how possible it'd be to have a crush on him.
and i heard love the way you lie for the first time today. i'm sure its a great song, but i just wasnt into it.

now go on and read missy.
and Janelle Monae...heard and saw her first on the ellen show when she came with diddy. i think shes great, but havent taken time out to listen to her songs.

In the last couple of months, I haven't had time to really explore but one thing I can say is: seeing her video and listening to the only song of hers i have, I had concluded there was something theatrical and professional about her approach. You call it art and i agree.

Eminem! That is a genius! Nothing more to be said!

So with you on Janelle Monae... She is ridiculously talented, gorgeous and just fresh. I'm afraid you lost me at Eminem though... ALBUM? YES! CRUSH? NO!

Your crush on Eminem on the other hand tho *side eye* lol...I get his music, but him? Hmm, could be the mystery for you

Tightrope did it for me too, audio and video ... And she just had to mention 'Balance' in her song :) Would give her album a listen.

I'm not so hot on Janelle. I've only heard tightrope though.

I so love Eminem! Always have. His album is great :)

Janelle's my train buddy, I go everywhere with her, I can understand, I have a HUGGGGGEEE girl crush on her as well, I just love the fact that she's dedicated to her art, not the shock route her mates are doing

I love Dance or Die, Cold War, Neon Valley Street, Tightrope is such an inspirational song, Many Moons,Sincerely Jane.....I just looove her

I'll admit when his first single fell, It was weird hearing him rap again, but I looooove Love the way you Lie as well,

Ok go read girl

Em is definitely one of the all time greats. He's consistently dropping great quality music.

Funny, I don't know this Janelle Monae probably cos I've been spending a lot of time writing these days; will search for her stuff tho.
