Rihanna graced the ‘American Idol’ stage last night to perform her latest new single, ‘California King Bed’, from her platinum selling album ‘Loud’. The 23-year-old pop minx ditched her chains and whips to present viewers with a stunning, vocally appeasing and very classy, elegant performance.

The big hair was back in action and she was rocking a stunning velvet gown which restricted most of her movement. Although velvet is considered a fall/winter fabric, she pulled it off rather nicely. Rihanna wouldn’t be Rihanna without the breaking of some fashion barriers. Without doubt, this was definetely one of the singer’s stronger vocal moments.
