Out singer Frank Ocean wows at VMAs
R&B singer Frank Ocean, who came out as a gay man earlier this summer, wowed the audience at Thursday night’s MTV Video Music Awards with a serenely acoustic version of the song Thinkin Bout You from his debut solo album Channel Orange.
Ocean followed a rather rowdy set from Rihanna, A$AP Rocky and Calvin Harris and quickly calmed things down.
He performed in front of a faux campfire which helped to set the quiet tone as he started the song a cappella.
The performance and his soaring vocals drew quick praise from fellow performers including Lady Gaga who tweeted: ‘Watch frank ocean steal this whole show. I’m dead.’
