When Your Fans Sing Better Than You: The Rihanna “Upstaged In Concert” Case [VIDEO]

Looks like the “Navy” fans of Rihanna are the most talented out there.

This past weekend, at one of the latest stops of the North American leg of her “ANTI World Tour”, our girl Rihanna was doing her thing performing her hit song “Four Five Seconds” when suddenly she decided to approach her fans in the first row at the U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio, and when attacking the chorus, she handed out the microphone to a male “Navy” fan, who was doing all kinds of gimmicks to get her attention, and let him sing a few notes…and let’s just say this guy didn’t sing, he SUNG!

I don’t think even Rihanna was expecting those powerful vocals that came out of her fan’s mouth. I’m sure she thought to herself before handing out the mic to him: “What does this dude want? OK, I’ll give him his 15 seconds of fame. He probably doesn’t sing crap but he fought really hard to get my attention so I’ll give him a prize”. But “crap” he didn’t sing, HE ACTUALLY UPSTAGED RIHANNA! And no doubt she felt upstaged - because I'm sure that’s the reason why she pulled back the mic so quickly.

Rihanna’s SHOCKED FACE was priceless - no doubt this will be MEME material for years - when she heard her fan’s glorious voice.

Truth is that Rihanna isn’t the best singer out there, she has a very limited vocal register, and my advise to her is that she stops letting fans in her concerts sing for her…because if they’re really good at it, the whole situation can become extremely awkward and the embarrassment for her could be real. For instance, at this past weekend’s Cincinnati, Ohio “ANTI Tour” concert; this male fan sang “Four Five Seconds” so good that I actually was hoping Rihanna would let him perform the entire song on stage and that she would step aside. Be careful next time, RiRi!

But oh well, I’m sure that after this, and after seeing her SHOCKED FACE make headlines on all blogs, she learned the lesson.
