The audience weren't the only ones blown away by Fantasia's singing as fans on Perry's timeline trooped to the comments to show their admiration and approval for the diva.

BET shares that Fantasia's brief performance was a rendition of her 2006 hit track, "When You See Me." Madea, while on stage, had called on the R & B crooner before Fantasia charmed the audience.

The performance ended with Madea and the audience giving a standing ovation to the star singer.

The "American Idol" alum revealed that she might be a celebrity, but she had to do a lot of things by herself to get back on track. At this point, she told the host about how she got helped by Perry:

"Tyler Perry's actually a good friend of mine... He was one of the ones when I lost everything; he came and blessed me. And I thank him for that."

According to Chicago Tribune, back in 2010, the soul songstress went through backlashes from paparazzi and a scandal about her breaking someone's marriage.
