It is a very 70s funk influenced song, so even though I won't pretend to preach with a "old school is better than your kid music", we can say this song is done in a style that has stood the test of time. Funk is a great influence on many kinds of popular music.

How can a single individual be so astronomically talented in so many specific areas? The singing, the dancing, the lyric writing, the composition, the breadth of artistry to rock whatever style tickles her fancy at a given moment? She blows my mind. Not to mention how incredibly gorgeous she is

You can't blame someone for trying to reach a different audience cause those people that she's able to reach with her new song will listen to her other stuff and many will like what she's about. Her songs don't need to have a deeper meaning to it and you can't say someone is a sellout just by going off of one single.

I remember my daughter showing me this video for the first time when it came out, and I became an instant fan! This song is phenomenal - the vocal, the arrangement, everything, and it so stood out from so many other "hit" songs at that time. Janelle Monae rocks!

Janelle is a versatile artist. ArchAndroid is her perfect album. She also does her best in performing. Totally a complete package.

If you don't believe Janelle is talented, you need to reevaluate exactly what you think talent is. Her voice and her moves are slick and absolutely arresting. Janelle is such a great artist and I pray she gets more recognition.

This brings a whole new meaning to someone like me who has Bipolar. You can get rather high or extremely low. The key is to stay on the tightrope. Try to keep balanced, emotionaly. Which is not an easy feat. This is now my anthem! Such an upbeat song. Love everything about this. Thanks Janelle Monei

King Jay ** Yea. the entertainment world..... ""Hollywood" has removed the gospel of Jesus Christ...... from their entire circle of people... False-hood, Idol worship and lots of folks/Ceo's who have signed over in blood. the Bible lets you know this country will fall with out, morals and sound leadership. Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellers there is safety. proverbs - riches profit not in the day of wrath but righteousness will delivereth from death. Believers have to stay w the word of the Lord. amen the word gives a clear example of what the end x's would come to. ( Bible ) that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, -- Philippians 2:15 ,, $ cannot be worshiped as the Lord Jesus Christ. when that happens lawless-ness and corruption. "" run wild .. Christ will return . ( 1 Timothy 4: Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, """ the word says it will come a x, when folks will dis regard whats written in scripture. and attempt to gain wisdom apart from the word of God, through other"" false religious books. wanting to be their own..... God. just like Satan when he grew proud and vain. ,, psalms - Do not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men, 10 In whose hands is a sinister scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes. pvb. 12 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

it has been almost 7 years, still love this song... and video and Janelle still in my top 2 favorite female artists

im revisiting this in 2024. this album came out the same year I graduated high school. I was 17 and grew up in a private school bubble. This song was the single so of course everyone knew it. but I didn't listen to the rest of her album. in 2011 I heard J Coles mixtape Friday night lights where he sampled the very beautiful Neon Valley Street. I obsessed over that song, but I still didn't listen to the rest of the album. I actually kinda of lost track of Janelle and it was only this year when the YT algorithm recommended an interview of hers on her newest album The Age of Pleasure. Now I am going back in time and listening to all of her albums. I love to see her growth and progression through her life. She is unapologetic, beautiful, talented and drop AF, sexy, and I love seeing this from 2010 and seeing how far she has come. such an inspiration. I will definitely be raising my daughter up on Janelle's music.

John Lee Not gonna say I hate or even dislike the song, but the part from big boi was pretty frigging bad and really dates the song with references to stuff like macbooks, the dow, and the nasdaq as well as the line "like a thong in an asscrack." Just general bad lyrics can really take you out of the song especially in the context of the album because his lines completely break the fourth wall. I bet the song would be practically perfect if she wrote all his lines lol.

I love her style...so truly original!

i hate so much she look like a little boy like this..

Amazing every time I watch .There is a story being told here. Such awesome dancing and choreography. Janell is a once in a lifetime gift. Keep it coming young lady!!

Great Choreography!!!

I'm a fifty-year-old bougie who saw this wonderful mass of star stuff on stage the other night and it was among the best shows I've ever seen. Everyone needs to see her in concert before they die. Her energy is infectious and her music is sublime. That smile will melt the hardest, iciest heart and her moves will make you cut up and get down.

James Brown is smiling down with the biggest of grins on his face right now.

She's not a mainstream artist...even though she receives alot of mainstream support. I've been following her career since her 1st album. Most people are shocked when they learn she's linked to Bad Boy Records.

Just saw her live tonight in montreal and what a beautiful expérience! She’s so amazingly talented and her energy, presence, words is unreal it was so beautiful ❤she has evolved even more into the eclectic artist that she is, so smart genuine and always herself. im still high from that had to come back watch this beautiful clip

This song and video are masterpieces. SO much talent in these voices, instruments, feet, etc. And what a message.

She doesn't mean demonic messages. Prolly has something to do with a minority group of people who have been demonized and repressed because people refuse to understand and respect their cultural norms. The majority want them to conform to their societies standards, but they are trying to hold on to all of their cultural norms without falling into the norms of the majority; hence the word "tight rope'(tight rope representing how hard it is to keep their culture without being influenced or falling into the majorities standards. I tried.

James Brown and Michael Jackson live on in this wonderfully talented woman!!

I miss the old Janelle. I don’t want to be that person not embracing change. 😢

Forgot how amazing this was! I'm gonna do this song in class tonight! I'll try to post it on my channel. LOVE this woman SO MUCH!!!!

Somehow she manages to keep it so classy yet sexy. I love her, she is beautifully gifted.

I don't think I ever saw so much talent in just one room.

James Brown And Michael Jackson must be proud Thank you

I first became aware of Janelle through a Pink video featuring Nate, singing "Just Give Me a Reason", where Pink sings a bit from a song she first heard Nate singing... Searching for that song led me to a video of Nate and Janelle singing "We Are Young". I was immediately mezmerized by her beauty, her perfection, and then noticed her love of music. I searched for more and found the insightful "Turntables", now on my primary playlist. And now the entertaining "Tightrope", on that same list. I'll be looking for more. 67 year old white guy loves these videos and the artists. Thank you Pink (whom I first noticed when I heard the line "... and you sold us down the river too far..." and immediately bought her album "Beautiful Trauma". Loved every song. Love Pink. My kid sister laughed as she told me Pink has been around, and she has been a fan, for over 20 years... it took me that long to notice her music. Thank you Nate for collaborating with Janelle on "We Are Young". Thank you Janelle for an introduction to another music genre and an artist I'm sure to love and appreciate... until I pass and watch as my planet, and everyone I love and everything I know, whirls away from me...

Me and my mother still listen to this song to this day. Every morning I say "Mom can you play tightrope?" The first time I said it once again ever in my life, she was surprised that I remembered it from when I was 3 years old. She played it and said "You use to dance to this when you were little!" Tightrope is the best. 👌

I used to listen to this when I was going on a road trip. All the memories are coming back to me.

Omgggg HOW AM I JUST FINDING THIS?! Its 2024!!! I love HER SO MUCH

I can't believe this came out 6 years ago❤️

I just discovered this song and its astonishing that it's over a decade old. Christ how did I miss this.

She killed it in glass onion and I just had to come back and have some fun listening to this again!

had no idea she was a singer. I saw hidden figures and thought she was cute and wanted to see if she was in anything else... I like her style. it has kind of every generation mixed in.
