VIDEO: Janelle Monae Performs ‘BaBopByeYa’ With Live Orchestra

Janelle Monae is unlike any other artist around today. I’ve been saying that for nearly 3 years now. 2010 was the year the rest of the world realised it and while the majority of ears remain asleep on this incredible talent, good peoples such as yourselves are thankfully well clued up.

Anyways – until’ tonight I hadn’t heard or seen Monae perform ‘BaBopByeYa’, one of the many highlights off her debut The ArchAndroid. In the video up top she performs the epic ballad backed by the Emory Symphony Orchestra at Emory University’s Schwartz Center in Atlanta, Georgia – her performance is spellbinding. Everything about it from her dress, to her posture, her seamless and powerful vocals – everything. Goosebumps.
