EXCLUSIVE STYLE SPOTLIGHT: Janelle Monae

Janelle Monae isn't your typical artist to come out of the slick Bad Boy factory.

Janelle Monae isn't your typical artist to come out of the slick Bad Boy factory.

PHOTOS: Introducing Chase Lounge Artist Janelle Monae

The Kansas City native is an artist in every way: from her music, her album aesthetic, and her personal style, each aspect of her career is born from a need for pure expression. RadarOnline.com caught up with Janelle after her intimate performance at the Chase Freedom Lounge to dissect her signature black and white look.

Her performance look, which Janelle dubs her "uniform," comes from the influence of "the working man and woman." While she calls the main source and genesis of her look "private," she did say part of it is about: "Paying homage to them (those working men and women) and giving them a nod saying I know what they're going through. It's my responsibility-working- when I have my uniform on."

She says the mandated monotone, which her band and team also wears, is "consistent" and that the simplicity of the uniform is a strategic move.

"You're able to respect the music and look beyond the uniform, respect the individuality of the singing. It's kind of like a blank canvas almost."

Funny enough, in this time of Lady Gaga excessiveness, less is getting more attention.

While most rising stars in the business rely on a partnership with a stylist or designer, Monae falls back on her tried and true team, the Wondaland Arts Society which she founded as a collective of like-minded, creative individuals including musicians and graphic novelists.

"We all wrap our minds around certain concepts and think of goals we want to achieve."

So don't go rushing to Prada for her to-die-for stark white blouse with dramatic pouffed shoulders. Karl Lagerfeld and the couturers of the world, eat your heart out!

Michael Jackson's legacy was on the top of everyone's minds at the 23rd Annual ASACP Rhythm & Soul Awards Friday night, and RadarOnline.com's Jessica Campbell was there at the Beverly Hilton Hotel to talk to all the stars about the King of Pop.

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Never-Before-Seen Photos of Michael Jackson On Stage

We were on the red carpet to ask some of your favorite rhythm and soul celebrities, “Which Michael is your favorite Michael?”  Is it the “Jackson 5” Michael with the baby Afro and bell bottoms, the “Thriller” Michael with red Members Only jacket, or was it the “BAD” Michael that told you about Dirty Diana.

Everyone has a memory that connects him or her with MJ. Today’s artists are very influenced by Michael Jackson and were excited to tell us how he moon walked into their hearts and changed their lives.  Janelle Monae channeled the essence of the King on the red carpet and let her swagga hang out in her black velvet blinged-out military jacket.

Michael Bearden who was the musical director for the film, “This is It” loves every Michael era, as did many of the celebrities that walked the carpet. Neyo, an R&B singer that carries MJ’s energy in every dance move, shared, “My favorite Michael is ‘Thriller’ Michael;  ‘Off the Wall’ Michael…in that era right there.  That’s my personal favorite Michael."

Super producer Danja chose the “Bad” Michael explaining, “ ‘Bad’ Michael cause that was the ultimate, I’m here, I’m sexy, nobody's fooling with me!  His energy and his look was like I’m the best!”

The sassy and sexy girl group Elektrik Red couldn’t decide which Michael was best so they elaborated on the great qualities Michael had in every period of his life.  Smoking hot music producer Brian Kennedy took a moment to tell us how Michael influenced him, “ As a person he influenced me to want to be great at everything I do not even with my music but just generally.”

To our surprise LA Laker Ron Artest told us he followed MJ so closely it helped him choose his basketball number, “I had the red jacket, when he was in ‘Beat it’ I think; I had the jacket.  It was dope, you know and my number was number 37, actually for Michael Jackson for ‘Thriller’ 37 weeks (at) number 1.”
