Here's another insider report from a guitarist.

Judy has since then performed at classical music festivals all over the world. She most recently played the 1689 'Baumgartner' Stradivarius. On the Monster Ball Tour, Judy plays a 5-string electric violin called "The Viper".

Vocal experience includes various musical styles, including gospel, R&B, rock, classical, and jazz. BellaVi has opened up for many artists such as Lil Wayne, Dem Franchise Boys, and Bobby Brown.

Chevonne Ianuzzi is a self-described funk-nasty Jersey girl with the mile-high pink ‘fro. She is gifted with real hairspray and glitz, sticky sweet and sweaty, all cork popping, street stomping, a pocket-sized Betty Davis, loud, trashcan groove freak to the grave supreme Girl Funk ambassador from straight up outer space.


Prior vocalists included Charity Davis, Ameera Perkins, and Lenesha Randolph. Charity Davis was on the tour until July 2010. She has experience singing in choirs, specializing in gospel and r&b. Her mother is University of Illinois music professor Ollie Watts Davis.

Ameera Perkins was born in Cincinnati, OH, and began singing at the age of seven, originally focusing on gospel music. She has also acted, and was accepted to the School of Creative and Performing Arts. She was on tour with Lady Gaga until July 2010, and starred in Diddy's TV show Making His Band.

Lenesha Randolph is a vocalist and song writer from East Organge, New Jersey, who has worked for Artist Incorporated. She has been singing background vocals for recording artist Lauryn Hill. She was on the Monster Ball for two months until she returned to perform vocal duties for Robert Randolph & The Family Band.

Posh! The Prince is a singer from New York City, who has mostly worked in Berlin, Germany. He has been described as a wild devilish fox who shouts from the stage, screeching, rapping. "I'm doing the Madonna thing here in Berlin," he said. Now, he'll be doing it all on the Monster Ball tour. Off the tour since Spring 2011.

The choreographer for the Monster Ball continues to be Laurie Ann Gibson. Her assistant is Richie Jackson. The dancers are: Ian Mckenzie (aka Louis Lagerfield, aka Lewis Loggerfeld), Asiel Hardison (aka Duke Jones), Michael Silas (aka Mickey Mugler, aka Micky McGlaire), Mark Kanemura, Graham Breitenstein, Jeremy Hudson, Montana Efaw, Sloan Taylor-Rabinor, Amanda Balen, and Molly D'amour. After Mark and Jeremy left, Victor Rojas and Cassidy Noblett joined. And after Cassidy left, Mark came back.
