Rihanna Upstaged By Beyonce

Teen sensation Rihanna almost blew her chance of stardom when R+B superstar Beyonce gave her intense stage fright.

The Pon De Replay singer was thrilled when she was invited to showcase her talents at a private industry performance, but then she experienced a sudden panic when she spotted her idol just a few feet away.

But the former Destiny's Child singer was supportive and the concert was a success.

She says, "I did an industry performance and Beyonce came. I froze. I whispered, 'You're my idol. Thank you for coming.' And she said, 'Ahh you're so cute.'"
