Though she’s had her off days and seen her fair share of criticism for it, when Rihanna delivers, Rihanna delivers. Check out wowing fans in Paris, France, at the StadeFrance concert.

The video above is Rihanna’s performance with Coldplay on their “Princess of China,” their much talked about duet – which is the same one Coldplay fans didn’t quite enjoy, with some perceiving it as a form of “selling out.”

The second video is of Rihanna’s surprise performance of her hit “Umbrella,” with Chris Martin on the keyboard and backing vocals duties.

Useless to say, the latter is for all those fans who missed the “ella ella ella” chorus more than they like to admit.

All jokes aside, this was Rihanna at her best (vocally) in quite some time. Enjoy!
