I think Leila and I were at the same show. (Opening for Gnarls Barkley, right?) Yes, agreed!

Seconding (thirding?) comments about her live show. Incredible.

Also - love the pinball song.

She was really, really good at the Big Boi Ballet in Atlanta back in the spring.

@Cos: I thought about the Hives as well - not just because of the song, but also because of the assortment of black-and-white outfits that look strikingly like their clothes from the last tour. And they also did a pretty good of "Hey Ya!", so there you go.

anyone who sees Janelle perform live will be instantly won over – I
think she’s going to take over the world that way. She has legions of
fans here in Atlanta – stunning performer, brilliant music, and a
really sweet, very cool lady

I’m totally going to start wearing the saddle shoes that have been collecting dust in my closet for the last 10 years.

Damn cool video. I love her style, I just wish I liked her music more. Maybe with time?

I don't know about anyone else, but the beat and synth lines reminded me of this so much I thought it might be a sample at first:

The production is so cluttered. I feel like I have to stop everything just to really “hear” the song. The high concept video is more distracting than interesting.

Hmm -

Lengthy and non-sensical intro? Multiple versions of the performer? Swinging band on a shiny stage?

Do I like? Hey Ya!
