Steve Haruch of Nashville Scene posted a cool clip of No Doubt performing "Stand and Deliver" with Janelle Monae and Hayley Williams of Paramore. Check it out.
As riveting as her music is, a big question looms: Is Janelle Monáe too weird for mass consumption?
“I don’t worry about those things,’’ she says the next day, still suited up and regal after a string of interviews. “As artists, we have to focus on creating art.

Atlantic Records has released a clip featuring Janelle Monae, alongside other Atlantic Records artists, talking about the labels black music history for Black Music Month.
