If you don’t know Janelle Monae or Jamie Lidell, get ready to click on the YouTube bookmark in your toolbar because you need to see these two. Of course you needn’t travel all the way to YouTube when yours truly has supplied you with such great footage right here within the confines of this very blog. Below is some footage from the Jamie Lidell show that you may enjoy, but definitely check these 2 out elsewhere. I downloaded Jamie’s album and checked out Janelle’s website before the show, and I knew that the show was going to be fun right away. What I didn’t expect was to be blown away. I became a fan of Janelle’s on the internet, but when she stage dove into a crowd of maybe 25 kids she became my hero. Jamie is a genius; he mixes beats while on stage and then sings to it. His style was awesome. When I arrived Janelle had 2 songs left. The show was at the Wonder Ballroom, and even with the bar there were maybe 200 people in the whole place. By the time Jamie Lidell got on stage the place was pretty full. Much of the crowd knew every word, but he wasn’t simply playing his album for us, he was remixing it before our eyes. Great show, check out the video.
