None of those are Sisqo. I am displeased.
hahahahahahaha yessssss
I hope you voted for Janelle Monae.
All three of these acts are straight fire, I’ll be happy no matter who wins. Well done, LSE committee.
soo sad this is going to be happening while I’m abroad!
Can someone write that “little script” for Gambino?
be there done that
JANELLE MONAE.
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH CAPSLOCK IN THIS WORLD FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY EXPRESS THIS OPINION.
JANELLE MONAE ARE YOU JOKING ME. THIS IS A THING THAT MUST HAPPEN, IT IS NOT REMOTELY OPTIONAL.

All of these are unreal terrible choices. J. Cole preforms EVERYWHERE. Childish Gambino is aight but he’s not a big name, and Monae is probably the best musical talent but I’m not trying to get drunk and see a concert I can’t get hype for….go call up Avicii or Steve Akoi and I might get a little excited.
truly does sound badass, however terribly unrealistic…i feel your pain…grin and bear it..or don’t grin, just bear it 🙁
You’re very hard to please. You’re saying that these 3 are not good because they play too many venues, not famous enough, and hard to get hype to? What does any of that have to do with the quality of show they put on? I think after last year, this is a billion times better.
Also…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwnefUaKCbc
get hype.
JANELLE MONAE MUST HAPPEN!!!! (IN SOLIDARITY WITH ANA’S INSUFFICIENT CAPITALIZATION)

gambino #winning
I’d like to second Dougal, on a more serious note … if you’re serious about getting the campus’ input, LSE Committee, why have such an easily corruptible format? We vote for Student Council on Blackboard, why can’t we vote for this on Blackboard? Or at least something we’d have to log in for.
can i hit it in tha morninn
sun rising while ya moanin
gimme
BRING BACK GOLEM!
If Janelle Monae ACTUALLY wins this, it would just be another example of how much of a joke the #swattienation actually is…
Too many uses of “actually” in that one sentence. Smh at SMH
Why, because for once we’d get a brilliantly talented, electric performer that the student body is excited about for the LSE? That’s my kind of joke.

BIGBOI
I really hope to whatever powers that be that we will not have to suffer Donald Glover’s played out style over lackluster production.
I even tried to give homie a chance because his wordplay is dece but he blew it… trumpet.
I don’t know about Gambino, but I REALLY WANNA SEE TROY AND ABED IN THE MORNING!
