Just catching up with last nights highlights, and crikey she is excellent.
Not normally what I'd listen to at all.

Got the album last year, a great album and I think she is destined for very very big things in next few years

Best act of the festival IMHO, she blew every single person in that crowds minds! Deafening applause, Jackson 5 cover and an energetic and tight performance!

She was incredible - if not my favourite act of the weekend, it was certainly the best performance I saw.  Maybe even one of the best I've ever seen.  Elbow who.

Looking back at the BBC coverage, it doesn't do it justice though it still looks amazing, the second half of that set does have me believe that it may be one of the best gigs I have ever seen for sure! I remember everyone at the end saying 'well who the f**k is going to top that'

I am a massive fan but sadly missed her last tour. My friends raved about it and I was worried she wouldn't live up. But God she was amazing. Although her mic was a bit off at times, annoyingly. I was in the second row so it didn't matter.

Btw that thing where she made her band die and then get back going again for the last song was inspired. Did she steal that from anywhere? I've never seen it before.

In my opinion she put on the best show I've ever seen at Glastonbury. She absolutely nailed it. Feel sorry for a lot of my mates who at the last minute decided to go to Coldplay early rather than coming to see her. Loved it

[fatyeti24]

caught the start, would have loved to stay as it was ace, but had to go and meet my friends in time to see the Chems.

[hedgepeg]

Along with Gruff Rhys and Little Dragon she was the best of the Fest.

From the Metro  Janelle Monáe's The ArchAndroid sales up by a staggering 4928 per cent after her Glastonbury performance.

Wow, this could be her breakthrough moment in the UK

[formed a band]

she looked super cool but i didnt know anything about her till seeing her on telly and in an effort to avoid coldplay i would have just lurked round shangri la or even worse been persuaded to see the chemistry bros which was two gimps putting a cd on

[easigee]

Janelle Monáe is awesome and she was easily one of my favourite acts.

[Mardy]

Hmmm, when she was great, she was really great, primarlily when doing her own stuff (Cold War, Tughtrope etc) but the f**king cheesy awful wedding cover versions didn't help. Cherie Amour and all that shite. Not as good as I hoped for, but not too shabby.

6/10

[hedgepeg]

She's quite hot too and looked like an ice cream.

[Kierz]

Thought she was absolutely fantastic. Was due to see her at The Roundhouse a few months back, but couldn't make it. This more than made up for it. Hope she goes to much higher heights without losing her quirks and uniqueness.

I bloody hope so. Whoever is promoting her in the UK needs a slap.

[Moon Monkey]

Thankfully I was there. Amazing

[serendipitous]

I had completely forgotten she was playing and stumbled upon her, mid set, whilst trying to find the Avalon stage and just as I found the goan fish curry stall. Cue me dancing wildly whilst balancing a beautiful curry in one hand and a cider in the other. One of the best sets I saw all weekend.

[1mills]

She was awesome.

Was sad to sacrifice Elbow, but knew she was going to put on a hell of show.

My missus and her 2mates who know none of her stuff and just were there because I reckomended it loved it.

[Abster]

I was so gutted she started late as had plans to meet friends at ten to go see chemical brothers, so so wish I could of seen more of her set but glad I saw what I did see
