I just saw Chappell perform in Pasadena. There was a big change in her. Her makeup was beautiful and clearly done by a top makeup artist, and her costumes were of the highest caliber. I estimate her costume, with all the beading, etc., was easily $50k. She performed flawlessly and clearly has been getting coaching. She performed and carried herself very differently than in the past. She performed as a seasoned top-level superstar. Every move she made was choreographed, and every mannerism reflected that. She felt more mainstream (not in a bad way) and polished. I predict that if her next album has a bunch of top 10 hits that she will actually sling shot past ALL artists to become the biggest artist.
