FrogLenzen Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) 25. I Got the Juice (feat. Pharrell Williams) Album: Dirty Computer (2018) Writers: Janelle Monáe, Deep Cotton, Tayla Parx, Nana Kwabena, Pharrell Williams, Joshua Dean Producers: Janelle Monáe, Deep Cotton, Nana Kwabena https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_Computer Listen on YouTube @#jeah - 5/25 @1234567890 - 11/25 @FrogLenzen - 17/25 @*Wallace - 14/25 @*Lily - 18/25 @totes4totes - 24/25 @~Tom~ - 24/25 @NGM - 24/25 @*Diana - 25/25 Final Average = 18.00 / 25 Andy - 5/25 Quote As I said earlier I just love this song for whatever reason, it’s so goofy Wallace - 14/25 Quote "I Got the Juice" is a really fun and sexy song from Janelle. It does have a fun and silly sound to it so I can get it being a polarizing song. But I like Janelle's vocals on this. I love the beat and feel of it. I'm always here for any Pharrell music productions! Derek - 17/25 Quote I don't know if this deserved last place, but I can get why. It's got a definite vibe, but maybe not what you're looking for what you listen to this artist Megan - 24/25 Quote It's a fun song but I really don't think it's better than some songs that got cut (like "Sally Ride" still mad at myself for not using my special power to move that on!!!!!). I think it's one of the weaker songs off Dirty Computer but a weaker song from a Janelle Monae album is still stronger than a lot of songs from a lot of other artists. 24. BabopbyeYa Album: The ArchAndroid (2010) Writers: Janelle Monáe, Deep Cotton Producers: Roman GianArthur https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_ArchAndroid Listen on YouTube Tom - 5/25 Victoria - 14/25 Nico - 16/25 Wallace - 16/25 Andy - 20/25 Diana - 21/25 Derek - 23/25 Lily - 23/25 Megan - 23/25 Final Average = 17.88 / 25 Wallace - 16/25 Quote "BabopbyeYa" has such a classy old school theatrical feel to it. Janelle does sound really beautiful and delivers some really lovely vocals here. Maybe from watching DWTS' James Bond night show, I feel like I can hear this song in a James Bond film (or at least the first 2 and a half minutes). Andy - 20/25 Quote Conceptually this song is great, it’s just too long to hold my attention on repeated listens Derek - 23/25 Quote I can't really complain about the huge length of this song because we're about to start Justin Timberlake's round with all his preludes and interludes and codas etc. that I do love lololol. I think this has a super strong melody and I would enjoy seeing this live, but I get too tempted to hit skip when this one comes on in the car Megan - 23/25 Quote Thrilled that this song snuck into the Top 25. I really wasn't expecting that. It's a solid jam and one that I enjoy a lot. But I don't consider it a top 20 song (obviously, that's why it hits 23 here). 23. Take a Byte Album: Dirty Computer (2018) Writers: Janelle Monáe, Deep Cotton, Jon Jon Traxx, Nana Kwabena Producers: Janelle Monáe, Deep Cotton, Jon Jon Traxx, Nana Kwabena https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_Computer Listen on YouTube Derek - 11/25 Tom - 11/25 Lily - 15/25 Diana - 17/25 Wallace - 18/25 Nico - 21/25 Victoria - 21/25 Megan - 22/25 Andy - 24/25 Final Average = 17.77 / 25 Derek - 11/25 Quote VIBES ON VIBES Wallace - 18/25 Quote "Take a Byte" is a fun, slinky and really enjoyable track. I like her vocals on this and it has a really good vibe to it. Megan - 22/25 Quote Again, no weak songs on any of Janelle Monae's albums, but this is definitely a skippable song. I like it, but I'll admit that there are times when I skip it just to get to "Screwed." Andy - 24/25 Quote Boring for me 22. Sir Greendown Album: The ArchAndroid (2010) Writers: Janelle Monáe, Deep Cotton Producers: Janelle Monáe, Deep Cotton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_ArchAndroid Listen on YouTube Tom - 3/25 Andy - 4/25 Diana - 14/25 Nico - 14/25 Wallace - 23/25 Derek - 25/25 Lily - 25/25 Victoria - 25/25 Megan - 25/25 Final Average = 17.55 / 25 Andy - 4/25 Quote Seductive and sexy Wallace - 23/25 Quote This song has such a haunting breathy quality to it. It's intriguing but doesn't really grab me as some of Janelle's other songs from The ArchAndroid album. Derek - 25/25 Quote I get the appeal. But it's an instant skip for me Megan - 25/25 Quote Congrats to the Sir Greendown fans. I did want to cut this before even the final votes, so this making my #25 ranking shouldn't really be a surprise. 21. Django Jane Album: Dirty Computer (2018) Writers: Janelle Monáe, Deep Cotton, Nana Kwabena Producers: Deep Cotton, Nana Kwabena https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Django_Jane Listen on YouTube Megan - 6/25 Victoria - 10/25 Andy - 14/25 Tom - 16/25 Derek - 20/25 Diana - 20/25 Lily - 20/25 Nico - 23/25 Wallace - 24/25 Final Average = 17.00 / 25 Andy - 14/25 Quote Rapstress Janelle ended all your careers Derek - 20/25 Quote No real hook/chorus and plodding music/production in the background puts this lower on my list Wallace - 24/25 Quote "Django Jane" has a harder, harsher edge to it, which is really intriguing. It's cool hearing Janelle rapping on this song in a harder way. Not used to this sound from her, so it'll take some getting used to. I like it but like most others more.

*Wallace Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Aww I wish "I Got the Juice" could have been higher but not surprised with it coming it last. Oh and also wish "BabopbyeYa" was ranked a bit higher too. Fine with the other songs' rankings though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogLenzen Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 20. Venus Fly (with Grimes) Album: Art Angels (Grimes, 2015) Writers: Grimes, Janelle Monáe Producers: Grimes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Angels Listen on YouTube @FrogLenzen - 6/25 @#jeah - 8/25 @totes4totes - 14/25 @1234567890 - 16/25 @*Wallace - 19/25 @~Tom~ - 19/25 @*Lily - 22/25 @*Diana - 23/25 @NGM - 25/25 Final Average = 16.88 / 25 Derek - 6/25 Quote This song is pure noise and I STAN and I'm so glad Andy and I could keep it out of the first set. We only got one guest feature in the finals and thank goodness it was this one Andy - 8/25 Quote Art Angels is a work of art Wallace - 19/25 Quote This is another song with a fresh, fun and out of the box feel to it. I like the upbeat dancey music. I feel like there's a lot going on with this song that I don't know what to think of but it's fun. Grimes and Janelle work well together. 19. Sincerely, Jane. Extended Play: Metropolis: Suite I (The Chase) (2007) Writers: Janelle Monáe, Deep Cotton Producers: Big Boi, Control Z, Janelle Monáe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis:_The_Chase_Suite Listen on YouTube Megan - 11/25 Derek - 15/25 Wallace - 15/25 Victoria - 15/25 Lily - 17/25 Diana - 18/25 Nico - 18/25 Andy - 18/25 Tom - 21/25 Final Average = 16.44 / 25 Derek - 15/25 Quote This has that smoky lounge jazzy live feel to it like Babopbyeya but it's more lively and goes harder and so I love it more. I wouldn't have minded seeing one or two other EP/Demo tracks in the finals Wallace - 15/25 Quote Oh wow I remember first hearing this song from the Audrey Case/tWitch Hip-Hop on SYTYCD. This song has such an interesting, out of the box, creepy but fun feel to it. I like how dramatic the music is as well as her vocals too. Andy - 18/25 Quote This is great! 18. Wondaland Album: The ArchAndroid (2010) Writers: Janelle Monáe, Deep Cotton Producers: Janelle Monáe, Deep Cotton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_ArchAndroid Listen on YouTube Andy - 7/25 Diana - 10/25 Lily - 11/25 Derek - 12/25 Victoria - 13/25 Wallace - 21/25 Megan - 21/25 Tom - 22/25 Nico - 22/25 Final Average = 15.44 / 25 (tie) Andy - 7/25 Quote Randomly one of my favorite Janelle songs, I guess I really like when she gets silly Derek - 12/25 Quote Another track that is mostly vibes, but it makes me feel fuzzy inside Wallace - 21/25 Quote Janelle sounds really different here but she sounds really cute here. Cute, fun song. Megan - 21/25 Quote I find that there are a lot of songs on The ArchAndroid where it really feels like they are setting the scenery and vibes of the entire suite of albums. It's easy to listen to this song and perfectly imagine what Wondaland looks like, what the Afro-Futurism that paints all of Janelle Monae's works perfectly paints. 17. Dirty Computer (feat. Brian Wilson) Album: Dirty Computer (2018) Writers: Janelle Monáe, Deep Cotton Producers: Janelle Monáe, Deep Cotton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_Computer Listen on YouTube Victoria - 5/25 Tom - 9/25 Nico - 9/25 Lily - 10/25 Megan - 19/25 Diana - 19/25 Andy - 21/25 Derek - 22/25 Wallace - 25/25 Final Average = 15.44 / 25 (tie) Andy - 21/25 Quote Good opener Derek - 22/25 Quote Normally I'm a sucker for album openers but this one is pretty lowkey and most of it is not complex enough to hold my focus Wallace - 25/25 Quote This has a really cool chill vibe to it. Janelle sounds pretty on this. Sadly, this just doesn't stand out to me compared to most of the others. But I do like how she builds this up towards the end. 16. Locked Inside Album: The ArchAndroid (2010) Writers: Janelle Monáe, Deep Cotton Producers: Janelle Monáe, Deep Cotton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_ArchAndroid Listen on YouTube Diana - 3/25 Victoria - 6/25 Wallace - 11/25 Lily - 14/25 Megan - 16/25 Andy - 17/25 Nico - 19/25 Derek - 24/25 Tom - 25/25 Final Average = 15.00 / 25 Wallace - 11/25 Quote This is such a cute, feel good song. The chorus especially is really cute and fun. Andy - 17/25 Quote My least favorite of the Dance or Die - Faster - Locked Inside trifecta but it’s still a great song Derek - 24/25 Quote idk what happened with this low ranking, I just kept being able to rank the others above it while I went through the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do look forward to Justin Timberlake though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
