This past Tuesday, Janelle Monae was a guest performer during The Roots Jam Session at The Highline Ballroom. Courtesy of MeLo-X.tv we've got some really good footage of her performance of "Sincerely, Jane" with The Roots crew backing her up. I swear this woman puts me in some sort of trance every time I watch her on stage. Check after the jump for Mel D. Cole's photo gallery from the night – with pictures of Janelle, Bajah + The Dry Eye Crew, Wallace Roney, Richie Cannata, and Casey Benjamin among others.

That was seriously great. I am so pissed this whole highline ballroom thing is going on and I can’t personally experience any of it… daaamn!

I swear she gives me that Lauryn Hill feeling all over again.. I was there, and was paralyzed when she was on stage.. I love her..
Thanks for rubbing it in. Wow…I wonder if this means she might show up on that Hennessey tour…I’ve been wanting to see her in concert for over a year…
