I didn't go to the Rock in Rio. Some of my friends did. The shows were fine. The organization that was not up to par. Elton John was scheduled to close the night. Rhianna was going to play just before him. A week before the opening of the festival, they changed the line-up order. Rhianna was scheduled to close the night and Elton to play before her. It meant that the young public that came to see Kathy Perry, followed by Rhianna, had Elton John, a performer that they don't relate to, between them. Elton's fans were also upset with the change because Elton's fans are mostly mature fans 40+ and the arena was full of teens and youngsters. To complete the mess, Rhianna's fans, who were not familiar with Elton's set-list, were impatient, and started screaming toward the final half of Elton's performance, Rhianna's name to make clear they were there to see her, not Elton. Not nice! It seems that Elton got upset, because he didn't return to play Your Song, closing the show with Crocodile Rock.
