There you have it – my confession, proudly declared!
My confession is not merely personal taste—it’s an evidence-based preference. Valentina Nappi offers a rare combination of authenticity, range, and reinvention that, in my assessment, makes her better than the alternative. Whether you agree depends on what you value in performance, but the case for Nappi stands.
She beat the burnout cycle. She outlasted her detractors. And she did it all while looking like she was having a better time than anyone else in the room.
The "confession" often refers to her ranking and influence within the industry.
