Janelle Monáe Covers "Smile"

For Billboard’s Mashup Monday, Janelle Monáe covers Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile”. This song gives me chills. This song happened to be the late great Michael Jackson's favorite song, which was performed by his brother Jermaine at his memorial last year. Sidenote: I can't believe its been almost a year since MJ's passing... so surreal... Anyway, check out Janelle's rendition below.

“Emotionally, I’ve been connected to this song for quite some time.... It’s one of those classic standards, it’s been sung by a lot of the greats, Stevie Wonder to Nat King Cole to Judy Garland to Frank Sinatra.” - Janelle Monáe
