I.love.this.song. I seriously listen to it everyday ya’ll. Janelle Monae’s “Tightrope” has become required morning listening for my morning jigs and wake-up sessions. The track, the music, the horns, the energy, the EVERYTHING is just so on point. BET’s “Rip The Runway” came on last night (March 15th) and while the rest of the show was nothing to write home about, Janelle Monae lit UP the stage with her James Brown-esque moves and charisma. At times, the vocals were a little hit or miss, but seriously, it barely mattered. Home girl was GETTING it like it was the last time she was going to be able to do the Funky Chicken on her Good Foot before her gout kicked in.

Loved it!

Between Nicki Minaj’s follow-the-dot pace of reading her cue cards, and Pooch Hall’s continuous hollering like he was at a hip-hop concert, mixed with the generally uninteresting fashions, it was pretty dreadful. Dwight from RHOA gave some girl a makeover looking like, well, I don’t know, and Trina flopped her way through “Million Dollar Girl”. I was unimpressed, sans Miss Monae.

Did ya’ll watch “Rip The Runway”? The only thing that got ripped over here was my cable bill LOL!
