Chrisette Michele: 'I'm A LipGloss Kind of Gal'

 

Tonight soulstress Chrisette Michele brings down the house with a live performance for VH1's Soulstage, which was recorded two weeks ago in New York City.

During the taping, Def Jam's  powerhouse tantalized the crowd with her jazz-infused vocals and eclectic riffs and scats and made sure never to let the audience see her sweat—literally. Her style team made sure she remained camera-ready and picture-perfect after she completed every song.

Despite all the fuss, Michele kept the audience engaged by sharing a little self-depracating humor, commenting that she was a no-fuss kind of woman who preferred to keep her look simple with a hint of lipgloss. 

Michele's new album, "Epiphany," will be released May 5.—KNB

I love this lady. She (and Jasmine Sullivan and others)need to get more exposure for their great talents. I wish the media and the music industry would push more young women like this to the forefront. I am sick of the Beyonce obession. These young ladies are more talented and less provocative - how a lady should be.

Loved Chrisette when I first heard "Be Okay" and "If I Had My Way". Her honesty in the lyrics are refreshing to hear and I am certain she will be a legendary artist along side of Lena Horne, Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin and the alike. Do Ya Thang Girl!
