Lord Have Mercy | Janelle Monáe

If you don’t know Janelle Monáe and her music, your life is missing something special. I have had the opportunity to see Ms. Monáe perform on several occasions and have been consistently blown away. I don’t know that I have ever seen a performer with as much enthusiasm and energy. I’m obsessed with her voice and her peculiar dancing. Take a few minutes and enjoy these two amazing performances below.

Plus the girl only wears saddle shoes — as if we needed another reason to love her.
