It's gotta be exhausting performing for a room that low on energy-- her commitment and execution are insanely awesome.

[bondfall]

Can we admire the cool confidence of Janelle Monae for a moment? A button on her shirt popped and she fixes it with no big fan fare. She doesn't even react, she just buttons it back while she puts on her cardigan. It's the little things, you know?

[GetGlamFam]

I swear Janelle is so underrated! I love her! Also, props to EVERY dancer at that performance, they killed it!

[mararei]

Imagine this being performed at the Tonys... would be a whole other level of energy🔥

[jjwsvtk]

I WILL NEVER STOP SAYING THIS, JANELLE IS SO CREATIVE AND TALENTED, THEY DESERVE THE WORLD.

[charlottemarnee]

Why isn’t anyone talking about this 😭 this was INCREDIBLE.
The vocals, interaction with audience members and co-performers...AMAZING

[PeanutsAssorted]

God, Leo hasn't looked that uncomfortable since he had to meet his girlfriend's parents and realised those parents were 4 years younger than him

[curiousmisfitexplorer]

Margot Robbie and Lin Manuel Miranda actually enjoying the performance is refreshing

[melodramatic]

I'm sorry but more people need to be talking about this. This was incredible.

[PLR]

It takes talent like this to create energy in a dead room, it’s healthy unexpected and gives ppl something to talk about and most importantly something to be apart of and remember 🏆

My body, my heart, my soul smiled when she said "A Black Queer Artist". Oh, and that casual nod to "Happy Black History month". You girl, deserve your platform!!

[GabeLazarYT]

IDK who's idea was to let her on stage to sing a 10-year-old song that had nothing to do with movies or this year but THANK YOU! BEST PERFORMANCE EVER!

[klee]

I live for her forcing the uncomfortable elites to sing into her mic and nonchalantly brushing Leo w her flowers hahaha

[TheVideoChatter]

The Oscars did not deserve Ms. Monae. Her talent is much bigger than they are.

[sarahw]

In case you missed it:

Susan Kelechi Watson could’ve been nominated for A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, Zazie Beetz in Joker, the cast of Harriet, the cast of Queen & Slim, the cast of Us, William Jackson Harper for Midsommar, the cast of Dolemite, and more

The backup dancers were all highlighting the black actors and actresses and films that were sorely overlooked for nominations

[LadyDragoncat]

As far as I'm concerned, SHE WAS THE HOST!!!

Even if it was only for six minutes...

[karinshadi]

The Oscars don't deserve her, this should be The Tony's opening

[andrewrocha]

Her range and adding Billy Porter to this jam....damn

[Bruno-G]

Take in note: most people there are actors, they know how to fake a laugh/smile. But she managed to get a true smile from most of them. That's a pretty hard thing to get.

[velvet]

That croud was too Janelle deserved better
