“Rihanna who?”.
The above, albeit a cruel reality, is the sentiment many are hoping is shared once Brit sensation Rita Ora finally touches down in the US, for the launch of her debut album there.
Sure to intensify the rivalry that already exists within their fan bases, this week saw Rita unveil plans both the pair’s ‘Roc Nation‘ has in store to push her brand in the impossibly difficult market.
Plans, which may inadvertently see Rita beat her rival in being the first starlet at the label to score a #1 debut album.
Exciting details below, via In Demand…
As anyone in the UK can attest to, ROC are taking a ‘no expense spared’ approach to pushing both ‘ORA‘ and Rita’s rising brand.
While her success will in no way take away from what the group has achieved with Rihanna, we can’t but chuckle at how embarrassing it will be for the ‘singer’ if ‘ORA‘ hits the top of the Billboard 200.
This, an epic slap in the face to all six Rihanna albums that tried and tragically failed to do the same- even with the benefit of #1 singles.
So, with talent, a strong single- ‘Radioactive’– and the benefit of her UK success in her arsenal, it’s only a matter of time before Rita’s name becomes all too familiar on US territory.
Especially, if she continues to deliver performances as strong as this one:
And leaves her nay-sayers feeling a little…
Rita Rita Rita, I must admit I downloaded “Ora” simply because I know she can amuse me with her mediocre songs for the meanwhile, until KINGB returns, Sorry but she is flopping, her songs are generic with the exception of “Hello Hi Goodbye” “Love and War” And “Roc The Life”, She does NOT write her own songs, she is manufactured and boring, but I guarantee you we will have no choice but to accept her because you know she has the backing and label that will continue to push her generic ass until we eat her up, I guarantee by the time she has released all her singles that we will of come to love her, not by choice
With what money girl? They have alrready spent so much, there is a thing called debt any Jay doesent want to see it.
No but Jay has money and even though he is a business man, he wont have one of his golden girls fail, rita will be pushed until she is accepted, jays ego is to big for people to know he created a flop
he can push her untill he push off a cliff for all care. americans aren’t the ones to f*** with when it comes to how they spend their money and i for sure ain’t wasting my hard own stash that i make one minium wage on the likes of rita and fatten jay z inflated ego. #TRUST
But… look at WILLOW, Teairra Mari and Amerie, alll were flops and he let it go. Why is this girl special.
@Benron, and you know what was hi.lar.i.ous about the Willow situation, people were actually predicting that she was going to dethrone Rihanna. I mean, how ridiculous was that???!!!
The “vanishing of Rihanna” thing should be done at this point.
because Rita and Rihanna look as though they could be friends. All the other girls were either too young, not pretty enough or too old to make jay help them.
Rita is young and pretty and chic so shes easier to market. I just want rihanna to leave him as soon as she can because i know hes out to get her.
look at when he sent how we do to radio. He sent in the week the birthday cake remix. thats not a coincidence. he did it to say “disobey me and ill replace you.”
GET A LIFE
only if you promise to get a single in the Hot 100.
YES!
Shade that Ryvita Oral slore on my behalf sis!
@QueenOfTheNavy just said it all!!! ”disobey me and i’ll replace you” that’s what Jay’s motives are here. I mean I love and respect him as an artist and business man but this lil thing right here kinda turned me off from both him and Beyonce. Just a lil, cause I love Beyonce to pieces lol. It’s just that his motives shouldn’t be to replace Rih but to help develop an artist just as good (or even better) as her but in her own lane.
Instead they give Rita Rihanna clothes, Rihanna songs, Rihanna everythang!!!
Which is NOT even Rita’s fault. Compared to Rih, somebody who’s already been established, has grammys and what not these comparisons are unfair and in some way always make her look like a reject-rihanna (not even tryna be funny). That’s not a good look whatsoever….the only way this is helping Rita is that ppl are constantly talking about her. I guess that’s something… anywhoooore I’m so over Rocnation tryna make this girl happen. whether she succeeds or not, i’m over it.
let’s develop greats instead of creating fakes
If Rita is Manufatured then Rihanna is a Muppet!!!!
What happened to your article on Jay-z praising Rita, why did you delete it and write this one? Did the navi hurt your poor feelings, aww #POORDAT
I am just going to take this article as complete sarcasm because of all the invalid points. U.s doesent know Rihanna but we know Rita (lie) Rita Ora will assault the charts (lie) Rita’s album will hit number one (lie). ALL THESE BLATANT LIES! I wonder if the poor girl reads this site and thinks people are buzzing for her? Poor Rita!
Good luck to her though! Hope she continues heavily promoting the U.K. because we are checking for her (Rih wannabe) or Jessie J (Katy wannabe) over in the states!
jessie j is a katy wanna b?? clearly ur juding off of her one song that was big there ie – domino
have you seen her performances of white room? who you are? or even price tag acoustic?
obviously not. jessie j is way above katy talent wise
she’s more of a diva type vocalist check out her
we found love (cover of Rihanna) as well
Katy could NEVER!!!! katy live = Epic fail…
Katy perry clearly sings like a washing machine, but Jessie J is still desperate to be her.
There is no beef between fanbases, because Rita doesn’t really have a fanbase, but she will likely get a #1 album before Rihanna does….and everyone will laugh…
Oh Sam. There you go…again. ( *P!nk voice* ).
Pitting these two young women, whose work is COMPLETELY different from each other, against each other is very sad. Oh well, the Rihanna stans are always quite entertaining on posts about Rita. Get them hits.
*grabs popcorn*
People are feeding right it into that grape juice plan Lol got to love them tho
yet you’re the one whose the 5th to comment. gurl bye
1. they arent rivals
2. and even if Rita has a little more success than Rihanna, nobodys ever gona say “Rihanna who?” because Rihanna isnt a one hit wonder.
This blog needs to stop shoving Rita down are throats
I downloaded her s*** album and the only singles I kept were How we Do , Love & War and Hello Goodbye.
Of course shes everywhere right now. shes a new artist. but no ones here for a Rihanna replacement right now. Get over it
I’ll choose talent over none. Go Rita!!
Rihanna
Accumulated Total of over 1.9 Billion Music Video Views On Official Youtube Channel and counting, dare to catch her if
you can Rita!
What part of “talent” do you not understand? I’d rather pay money to hear someone who can actually sing. Did you catch my drift???
yes Rita can definitely sing
Sam knows rihanna fans have no lives and are wackos lol get them hits sam
Sam,
You said how we do will slay American ( rihanna ) . It flopped so hard.
You said RIP was the edgy urban hit needed, and will slay America ( rih ) it flopped hard and did not even make it onto billboard.
You said that Roc the life, was the juicy hit needed for America, the song flopped and no one liked it.
Now you are saying that Her LP will beat all other releases – which includes the country acts who ruloe American charts?
A wack generic singer trying to copy Rihanna with not a single top 40 hit -e evn with 3 attempts will now beat everyone ( including the other rock, country and hip hop acts also putting out an LP. Cher Lloyd is putting out her LP, she has hits in Amer5ica, Rita cannot beat Cher, let alone Rih.
They have two different sounds. Rita can’t be copying Rihanna. As far as image, I think it’s the other way around.
Rih is not copying Rita, Rita is wearing Old Rih clothes. I will admit Rihanna has worn some recycled Aaliyah/Beyonce/FeFe Dobson outfits but noone dares being this extreme.
Look at Ritas clothes, nothing repeats, there is no pattern, there is no style.
Sam made almost everyone in the US who visit TGJ hate Rita which definitely contributed to her not making a dent on the iTunes charts in the US. Sam wants Rita to fail really. The constant shading Rihanna does nothing but hurt Rita. Anyway, Rita you better come up with a US hit and fast, Jay about to find a new fair skinned generic chic very soon. She about to be the next Teairra Mari getting a phone call at home stating her services are no longer needed….I have a feeling she’ll be dropped by the end of February 2013..
” She about to be the next Teairra Mari getting a phone call at home stating her services are no longer needed…”
Lmaooo I am Cryinggggg.
I am sure she can cry on her buddy, Craid david. When he failed to take over in America 9 as they hyped him up ) he lost his UK AND USA record deal and was never seen again. Now, he cannot even get labels to meet with him and is doing his own thing underground, suing his own money. That is exactly what will happen to Rita Ora.l
Over a month ago, Sam, You said when RIP gets released in America, it will slay. You said it was number 1 in the UK; rita is more talented than Rih america likes.
In fact, you were certain once RIP gets to USA radio and itunes Rihanna’s career will end. RIP has been released on USA / Canada radio; RIP has been released on itunes USA and Canada.
IT NEVER CHARTED .
LOL LOL LOL LOL
IS “THAT GRAPE JUICE” SERIOUS???????
LMFAO.
I JUST MOTHERFUCKING CANNOT AND WILL NOT!!!!!!!
I AM NOT A FAN OF RIHANNA, NOR WILL I EVER BE BUT I RESPECT HER HUSTLE AND THE SUCCESS SHE HAS GAINED AS A YOUNG BLACK FEMALE IN THE MAINSTREAM MUSIC?INDYSTRY – CURRENTLY, BUT RITA?
BOTH HER AND RITA BOTS WILL NOT BE ASSAULTING ANYTHING OR ANYONE WITH THAT SINGLE AND SHE SURE AS HELL AINT ASSAULTING NOTHING INTERNATIONALLY IN 2012. SHE HAS TALENT BUT WHEN SHE CAN FINALLY DEVELOP HER OWN MUSICALITY AND STOP COMING ACROSS AS A RIHANNA/GWEN STEFANI/DEBBIE HARRY-ESQUE KNOCK OFF, THEN WE CAN TALK…
GET OUTTA HERE WITH THAT S***!!!!!!
B**** ～～～～～～～ BYE.
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
PREACH B****, PREACHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
LOL!
I HEARD THAT.
Co-Sign!!!
1000000000000000000000 DAMN PERCENT.
develop her own sound musically? B**** BAH! Rihanna’s songs are created for her when shes on tour, shes not even in the studio when theyre being made.
shes such a puppet, she even has to be told in which key to sing in when she records.
Beyonce on the other hand…………… you know zi rest.
B****, SHUT THE F*** UP! You’re so ignorant, every song is written in a specific key and you on tour comment is false. BYE.
@MADAME….If i could make Rihanna’s $$$$$$
they could spoon feed me the songs and wipe
my ass when it’s all over, deery!
PS
There’s a Rock Band No Hope i can’t remember the name
talking about How Rihanna has 15 writers, 15 producer writing her music for her and she’s the face of it,,,,i say so
Phucking what?
Agreed.
TGJ are absolutely hilarious. I CANT!!!
LMFAO!!!
Boy, you going in. You made hell of a lotta sense tho.
#CatchesThHolySpiritWithThisComment.
@JAKE,,Preach i will pass the collection plate!
If this girl gets a number one album before rihanna, Beyonce is gonna kii till she just cant kii no mo!
is Kii codeword for conceiving a pillow?
you tried it b****. You really tried it.
lol!
Oh you are bragging that Rita has a debut number 1 LP? Alexandra burke had one to, where is her career vs Rihanna?
Im not here for this Rita-rd. I like her “look”, but she doesn’t dance and doesn’t entertain. Has a nice voice, but so what? I just can’t get into her as much as I want to and try to….(listens one more time to “Ora”—-blah…rubbish!)….Will the real Rhianna please stand up?
“will the real rihanna real stand up”
She’s too busy blowing Meek Mills to do that boo boo.
No one is blowing meek “STOP KONY” Mill. Nobody on earth would ever do such a thing, not even he would wish such atrociosity on others.
Rihanna Robin F****** Fenty, that’s who.
Radioactive is not a great single. It a good dance track. American is not really into dance – unless it is already famous A list act singing over a dance beat ( chris brown neyo, usher, rihanna, david guetts, flo rida )
Sam / stans,
I would like an honest, non abusive answer. What will happen if Rita LP flops, her UK success does not equate to profit and she is dropped?
you finally breathe and get a life…lol
Beyonce is probably giving Jay extra helpings at dinner to make him support this girl and snatch Rihanna’s untouchable wig.
IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN FOSSILYONCE!
Oh yeah. Sony do not have money to pay for this. Beyonce is using her owm money. Anything to get rid of Rih, so she can be the only black girl.
Beyonce is not using her MONEY on rita , IF anything Jay is using that money he makes offf Rihanna on Rita…..
I swear you people be reaching for the stars
If by Beyonce cooking you mean her personal chef then I agree! And Extra helpings of what? His daily camel rations?
I have this new theory that TGJ actually hate Rita and are shoving her down our throats because they want us to end up hating her too.
they know something we don’t. I’m sure of it.
Rihanna was seen outside her hotel in London earlier today (August 29). She was later spotted arriving at the River Island headquarters.
@GRAPE rihanna is still Reading her ASSAULT
on yo London Town!
Yeah, I was thinking that this site doesn’t even LIKE Rita, but they keep pushing her to p*** off Rihanna fans. TGJ is just trolling for site hits.
And now you are trying to add more to you post to respond to what we said it.
There is nothing wrong with not having a number one album, Aretha did not have one, and Bob Marley took almost 28 years to reach the top 20, you fail to release to very easy things.
Rihanna is looking for maximum sales, not high chart positions. Chris went looking for an open week to cruise to number one, but he released his album during a stale season so know it, Usher’s, and Frank’s are struggling. If Rihanna wanted a number one album she would get one.
Seriously, almost all year the topping albums have sold 60k-140k, and still topped. Number one albums are not really an acheivment anymore, just a product of good timing.
STANDING OVATION PLZ.
EXACTLY!!!!
“Number one albums are not really an acheivment anymore, just a product of good timing.”
Finally someone with good sense….Couldnt have said it better.
cant the same be said about 99 cent singles?
99 cent singles are not as bad as katy perry’s 69 cent singles. Soon she will be selling them for free. Speaking of even if Rita did so she still would flop.
Right on BENRON and they never mention that
She had two albums that went number one world wide
two times. And to me it was a great thing for her to sale
504,000 copies her first week! they keep that under the rug.
neither did whitney my love is your love it debut at #13! and end up selling 13 million ww mariah careys #1’s album debut at #3 and sold 17 million ww i can go on and on
Sam, girl, BYE
I couldn’t help but laugh….at this article.
i couldn’t help but laugh…at Discipline.
Not hating on Rita but TGJ is smoking something if they think this girl is gonna have a number 1 album in America, Cher Lloyd stands a better chance than her, and even though I share ur dislike for the talentless Rihanna, this site has got to stop acting like Rita is a threat to her. Rihanna is one of, if not the biggest artist of today.
Speaking of ASSAULT that is exactly what RIHANNA
is doing in London Town, Right Now!!
http://theybf.com/2012/08/28/spotted-rihanna-serving-up-proper-leg-game-in-london
Rih could care less , shes as happy as a baby blue with beyonce’s nipple in her mouth!
This song will slay the bubbling under the Hot 100 chart HARD! Get ’em girl!
But Rita is talented, so I’d suggest sticking to the UK. She’s doing well there, so why not focus on being a successful local star and instead waste all your energy in building buzz in a country where a GMA performance couldn’t get you a top 50 hit?
S/N : That Christina gif! It made the article! 😀
DEAD > “This song will slay the bubbling under the Hot 100 chart HARD! Get ‘em girl!”
CO-SIGN!!!!!!!
Yes! Just be a star in the UK & do it! There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
My favorite new artist Jessie Ware just released her critically acclaimed album “Devotion” in the UK & best believe, the US music critics have taken notice but she is not even interested in the US like that.
I understand that the US is the biggest music market & Roc Nation wants that US money but I say forget the US.
I LOVE ‘Devotion’, especially ‘Night Light’ and ‘Wildest Moments’
As far as Rita is concerned, I think she’ll just be another Nicole Scherzinger. 3 or 4 attempts at a US lead single, shelved US debut and return to the only market that seems to be interested.
Yay! You have heard of Jessie Ware. Her LP is selling well, despite getting none of the rita ora desperation.
Jessie Ware could win a grammy, she shits all over Rita Ora when it comes to talent. In fact, Rita Ora is the least talented UK newcomer. Rebecca Ferguson, Liane La havas, Emelie Sande and Jessie Ware al murder Rita Ora. In terms of pop, Tulisa, Cher Lloyd, Lana Del ray and Carley Jae – as well as Karmin make better pop music.
Rita ora is the worst new act of 2012.
ASAP,
You are right. The only market that is interested is the UK, however, I still think she will be dropped in the UK TOO and vanish like Craid David. The UK is cold like that! If you cannot recreate the success they get rid of you and never sign you again. Once she is dropped from sony UK, she will not get any other UK label to meet with her. That ‘s what has happened to craig david. Rita Ora will be singing on underground grime songs on channel aka like Miss Dynamite. You will see. She will also go HAM on jay z and beyonce and blame them.
I know! Even GMA could get her a top 20 hit. Makes me wonder what Jay Z is really up, this girl has released 2 songs in America and they have both flopped hard. RiIP the most, it could not even make the itunes chart even though it was written by drake, number 1 in the UK and on the VMA commercial. Now if this was any other girl, they would be dropped, not pushed and hyped up even more. They really want to stop Rih’s shine.
@ASAP & @Kelly, big smile 🙂 for the Jessie Ware love. I ADORE this album, I cannot even tell you. This is the type of pop album that deserves much respect.
@Kelly, you are much more pessimistic about Rita than I am. I actually enjoy her voice & I think that she is very talented. I’m a fan ( I’m also a Rihanna fan) but THIS particular album doesn’t speak to me; yet, I think she has it in her. But you may be absolutely right her ultimate fate.
They can stop Rih shine if they wanted too and we all know that
Did that fool say RIHANNA who????

I know, how delusional!
(bows down to tgjslay)
they shaded Riwhorena Fuckme downe.
No, my fave does not have 16 grammies. But unlike the beyhive, most stans like the artist for reasons other than amount of grammies/number one albums.
Rita Ora’s debut album will NOT be number 1 in the US – What hit song has she had over in the US? None. Is she even popular there? No. Sam she is most popular in the UK an you know that – what use is it in comparing Rita with Rihanna? Two very different artists and you keep mentioning that the label are pushing her and her brand but I just dont see it happening. There are many singers that can sing and have good live performances but are not doing as well in the US. I think it’s safe to say that we will just have to see what happens. What I’m saying is just my opinion, I could be wrong, so I will wait until other songs are released/the album is released in the US for me to actually believe all that I have just said.
Rita Ora LP will be going up against country and rock acts and they always slay on the Album charts in America.
Rita Ora looks desperate, She has been promoting her music in America since jay took her to z100, now they are going back to America, to to promote the same music, at the same media outlets again!
SHE IS NOT HOT, dont they get it? Also, it is not just America, she is a flop in europe too. Even though she supported coldplay in Europe; performed on french TV, germany, Switzerland and attended the cannes film festival. Yet she is a flop in Europe.
……AND AT THAT PERFORMANCES ABOVE SAM POSTED.
NEVER MIND THE FACT THAT IT WAS BORING AS F*** BUT WTF….WHY IS SHE PUTTING ON A FALSE WEST INDIAN VIBE?!
GIRL…….
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m92sf6eQ6P1r6fap8o1_500.gif
I’m not a fan of Rita. She just does nothing for me. But anyone that stans for Rihanna has issues….gurl bye.
I don’t know who this Rita girl is but I do know that Rihanna fans have got the front to call anybody a flop when shes gone almost a decade without a number one album.
If shes the huge megastar you say she is shouldnt going to number one be a walk in the park. But no, she cant even sell anymore than 220,000 in her first week and you fools are out here calling her the queen.
Gaga sold 600k with BTW at 10 dollars and 400k with 99 cents but even if you dont include the 400k, gaga sold 3 times more than Talk That Talk did even though talk that talk was released during the holiday period. Just think about that. Rihanna is a singles artist and that is the end of that!
*shakes hand and convulses in your truth*
Let me repost this for you…
There is nothing wrong with not having a number one album, Aretha did not have one, and Bob Marley took almost 28 years to reach the top 20, you fail to release to very easy things.
Rihanna is looking for maximum sales, not high chart positions. Chris went looking for an open week to cruise to number one, but he released his album during a stale season so know it, Usher’s, and Frank’s are struggling. If Rihanna wanted a number one album she would get one.

SUMMARY: #1 album or not Rihanna is still able to sell albums in the long run….TTT has officially sold 3 Million WW.
the f****** nerve to compare rihanna to Bob Marley. Was Bob Marley a pretty pop princess talking about liking boys, having fun and getting drunk? No. rihanna makes music for the masses but the masses arent buying it.
@WildDebutante #NaviUnite
are you that delusional??? Back then, getting a number one album was actually HARD. Not so nowadays so PLEASE don’t compare Bob with Rih
Did you know “Born this Cheap” was given away with cell phones? Yup, Digital and pyshical copies. Did you know it was 2 for 1 at MULTIPLE major retailers?
In the end I doubt she sold more than 300k actual copies of “born this gay”
Never a truer word spoken.
Why the eff is every second post on here about Rita though wtf?? are there no other celebrities this site can talk about? SMFH!
Good for Rita I’m glad she’s getting her shine on she deserves it. I listened to her album and it was good but I think she needs more soulful based music because her live performances are SO good and her acoustic performances are brilliant so I was looking forward to the album having a more soulful vibe to it but this is just album #1 she has nothing but time and when it’s released here in the US I will DEF be grabbing one. I support TALENT all day~ that gif #dead and that performance of Shine was good I liked the little reggae part.
that grape juice are going so hard for this girl. anything to impress the Queen Bey eh?
Lana Del Ray, Karmin, Goyte, Emelie Sande Cher L, Rebecca Fergison, Carley Rae Jepson are the new acts of 2012.
Why is Rita Ora being pushed down our throats by force over these acts? Is she more talented than them?
Why is she being hyped as going to slay globally?
Why is she even being compared to a megastar? What makes Rita better than Rihanna than Lana Del ray ?
Poor rita TGJ has destroyed your career before it started….
Battleship is number 1 in the UK video chart.
Styled to rock is a ratings winner
River island fashion line with Rih will fly out the shops
New Album and Tour coming
New Two movies
Esquir sexiest alive – only the second black woman after the stunning Halle Berry ( yup she is on Halle’s level.
MTV awards – I am sure she will win something.
Who the f*** is this old wrinkled dried prune? Some singer in the UK? Rih owns the uk.
only in the UK
Here’s what going to happen.
Rita IS going to be a big star because Jay z’s ego won’t allow him to let her flop. roc nation knows how powerful TGJ is in setting trends so they’ll keep giving them interviews with rita so long as they posts inflammotary threads like these which i predict will get about 300 or so comments by tonight.
That helps rita look like a major star to anybody who visits this site and gives the false impression that people are interested her when in reality they only care about her when she is compared to her. None the less other websites will start posting on her more often hoping to get whatever coins tgj are making everytime one of us click on a thread dedicated to her.
they know exactly what they’re doing. This is all to make rita seem like a huge superstar.
Rita gets the promo.
Tgj gets the money
and roc gets another star on the roster.
All anyone has to do is CLICK on the post and read 98% of the comments are bashing this chic lol! Number of hits does not equal a successful career (especially being promoted on TGJ). Need an example? Lil Kim.
co sign ^^^
For the 50th time, Rita Ora, is NOT here to replace Rihanna. She’s being positioned as a Gwen Stefani. Rihanna’s team and by extension Rihanna, has her own, and at this point, un-duplicatable formula.
RIta will or won’t make in the US. She’s got a tough, tough road. But if she does, it’s no threat to Rihanna–for now. Rihanna needs to be worried about getting her own act together, and the Taylor Swift’s, Carly Rae jepsen’s , Ke$ha’s, Katy’s and Sia’s of the world.
Well when this song doesn’t hit #1 it’s officially a flop. The level of hype on this girl and her FOURTH single has been nothing short of unprecedentded. At least when Beyawnce was hyped she was serving Sickning performances and videos. And when Rihanna is hyped shes always giving you flavour and edgy pop brilliance. What does this ho offer? B-sides and leftovers. ALL of Rhit Whoreas single have flopped in the US with much buzz and millions in marketing. No one is interested and no one is pressed, its called clocking the b******* right here and now
She is gonna get dropped and end up like her buddy Crag David, without a deal or any label willing to meet with her. Watch her diss the hell out of Jay Z and Beyonce, though.
Hmm heard Rhianna is sleepless in london.Hmm I wonder why?
Because she has been in Japan ( 8 hours ahead timezone ) performing for just 24 hours, then she flew 12 hours to london – which has another time zone for meeting for her fashion line. She has to rehearse fro her headline performance at MTV awards next week, then it is of to Azerbaijan to perfrom at the women’s world cup, then Las vegas. Not to mention she was in LA, last week taking meeting with Hollywood bigwigs.
ALIST SUPERSTAR! That Rihanna reign just wont let up
no she didn’t when she left japan she went back to l.a then london
get your facts right
overworked donkey! A LISTERS CHOOSE WHERE THEY GO AND WHAT THEY DO. They don’t do everything that is shoved down their throat…Bey, Gaga, Taylor!
It is not cos of Rita ( as u suggest ) Rita is not even number 1 in the UK singles chart and her LP is in a fight for life with an Indie band from Iceland who’s LP has been out since april.
RIP has been released in America – itunes and Radio and on THAT VMA commercial and did not chart on itunes.
Even the talented Emeli Sande ( singer and writer with a platinum LP and Brit, plus acclaim in the USA is not causing Rih any sleepless nights. So why would this wannabe who is struggling in America,Europe, Asia etc.
All of Rita’s songs have been released in EUROPE: FLOP!
Heard Rhianna is having insomnia in london.
Could this be why the navy are having sleepless nights too?
:LOL!!!
Lol at navy believing that they can make or mar Rita’s career.Listen hons,the more Rita is compared to rhianna the more the navy hate her .
On the other hand Rita is also getting popular cos of the amount of unwarranted hate the navy have for her.
this is hilarious, oras album is awful awful, her voice is s***, she has nothing on rihanna
Point of correction kelly Rita is not fighting to be no 1 I read some whre that according to the official chart company she has an 84% lead over the person in second place.The fact that she is not no 1 on itunes doesn’t mean she is struggling she is doing well with physical sales in music stores and other online outlets.
I don’t know where Kelly is getting her information from but according to recent tweets from Rita (yes I follow her on twitter she is number 1 on itunes. And guess what Beyonce sent her congratulations. RITA ROCKS.
http://www.beyonce.com/news/rita-ora
LMAO, it all makes sense now. I now see why Jay-Z is throwing millions at this chick, it is because the biggest THIEF has an even bigger EGO and she just cant let Rihanna beat her. She wants some random white girl to kick Rihanna off the charts so bad so her thieving, now irrelevant silicon ass can come shake her c****** on stage and blow the whiff from that dirty nasty stinky c****** to the unsuspecting crowd.
I knew there was something fishy because with 3 flop singles in the USA, most labels would have called it quits in that market but no RocNation keeps on pushing but now it is clear. It is because the “King B” (King B****) is mad at Rihanna for stealing her thunder. BeYAWNce cant seem to get over 4closure and how Talk That Talk blew it out of the water without even much promo. I cant with that BeYAWNce b****, she needs to go.
On Amazon uk and Itunes UK It has the indie bands at number 1. If Rita Ora gets the number 1. She scraped it. Here is why: Rita Ora commercial has been airing on TV; her ad is on every subway; she has gone on every TV and Radio show and done signing in London and Manchester ( second biggest city ) She also has been doing shows.
She has jay Z on his twitter begging for the LP to be bought and Beyonce’s ‘ message ‘ on her website.
All this and she is still fighting hard for number 1. The reason why she has more money for promo, but well done to the indie bands, they had not even promoted their LP and yet they are giving Rita Ora a run for her money.
RITA IS NUMBER 1 ON ITUNES…GO RITA GO RITA. HATERS BEWARE.
Is that on itunes delusional charts b****?
Why don’t you check it out before calling me names. I can bet my months wages Rita ‘s album is No.1 on the UK ‘s iTunes. Rita won’t fail because too many haters want her to. Rita will be a success in the states you mark my word. God don’t like ugly and you are sure ugly.
@Britbutnotproud I check the top 10 iTunes albums and she was no where to be found. not on the American top 10, not on the Brit top 10 or any other country. Why don’t you check the charts before s*** flies out of your mouth? Hmmm? I see everyone from Adele to Lana Del Rey’s Deluxe edition album, but where the hell is “ORA”. Girl Bye
Here is a treat for RITA HATERS.

Kelly you know that comment about Rita flopping all over the world is not true how we do was in the top ten in AUSTRALIA and its close to double platinum ther also she was in top ten in NEWZEALAND.she recently got her first IRISH no 1. Please check your facts b4 u post..
Ps I love your passion for riri even though you annoy me sometimes.its all good Rita and Rhianna can both be great they don’t have to replace each other.
Going platinum in Aus and NZ is not mean feat. The sales are very low, you do not need much to have a hit down under. Rih is special down under because ALL HER SONGS GO NUMBER 1 AND STAY FOR 10 WEEKS ETC. RITA HAS NOT HAD A NUMBER 1 DOWN UNDER. Ireland is very linked to the UK. In terms of Europe and America – Cannot chart, that proves she is not global.
I like Riri because I am happy to see a BLACK GIRL from a poor background to well even with racism. When Basketballer Jeremy Lin blew up, all asian supported him. Shame blacks do not have that kind of loyalty and tar down their won kind. If Rih was Asian – not one asian would speak bad against her.
Who is Rta Ora for Rih to replace? And Rita Ora can never replace Rih, maybe Beyonce, but not Rih.
Umm…Rita is not hot over here in the U.S….. Ive heard her song once on the radio, she’s gettin no air play over here and wont until she finds her own id and sound. An artist without a sound is not an artist , thats a singer. A billion people can sing, what makes u special. When she figures that out then she will be successful here in America. Every artist here is known for their distinct style that can not be copied. A voice alone wont cut it….. Her voice sounds like she should be going more of a Lauryn Hill type route vs. pop songs……She needs to understand her gift
Rita has 1,131,384 followers on twitter and that number is growing everyday So while you people are on here dissing Rita she is gaining supporters in the masses. Watch out USA Rita is coming. Just think she has only been officially around for 6 months. If she can have such an impact in 6 months just think what she can do in a year. I can see all you haters shaking in your Wallmart boots.
Chris brown has tons of followers on Twitter. His LP are flops. Twitter does not equate record sales. That is just it, she has been out for 6 months and still cannot slay. Rih slayed the day her demo ( pon de replay was a demo and audition track went to radio. P
Just saw Rita’s RIP on BET. It begins.
I’m American, i live in New York, never heard about this girl, i only know her because of thatgrapejuice and this site is only famous in the UK, my friends don’t even know why i like this site and i say to them i like because it’s hilarious + i can make fun of Beyonce haha, this girl is not competition for anybody, she hasn’t a career yet, Rihanna is in another level and what is this s*** about a f*****’ #1 album, Cher didn’t have a US #1 album and she’s a legend in every possible way, once again you all complain about why the US market has to be the biggest in the world but then again, you all hate on Rihanna because she don’t have a US #1 album, basic b******.
i stay in atlanta and they definitely dont play her s*** here!
I live in Virginia and I have yet to hear her stuff either.
“Check back on Sunday to see if Rita manages to land her first No. 1 album in the United Kingdom.” ill be checking sunday for sure cause from what ive been researching i doubt she will be hitting number one…
I wish I knew you phyicially as I would put a bet of £10 that she is going to hit number 1 on Sunday. She is already number 1 on itunes surpassing the band who were ahead of her. I will get back to you on Sunday and if she is not number one I am happy to eat humble pie.
You see this hate against Rihanna could ultimately hurt Rita’s success than help it, for the simple fact, your now turning Rihanna fans against Rita who couldve ultimately become a die hard fan of both. Don’t kill this woman’s career before it even has a chance at take off!
Dumb ass!
Follow me on Twitter! @PapaPreached
Yesss! Radioactive will be a hit if it’s handled right. Lmao the Navy can hate all they want. I don’t matter. Just cause ppl on TGJ don’t like Rita doesn’t mean everyone does. Ppl on here hate Justin Bieber but he still slays everyone’s fav. Rita is here to stay so you pressed bum c**** will DEAL 😉
The fact that you mention Bieber is a NO.NO.NO.
I’m sorry.
And I love how yall claim Roc is spending millions on her promo with no receipts. Lmao pulling numbers out of your ass
The two indie bands ARE giving Rita Ora a fight. Forget what Roc or sony say about her being ahead. On itunes, Amazon Tesco she is losing. She is doing personal signings in London and Manchester – That is the last ditch attempt labels use to sell and LP. Why are they doing this? Cos they are having trouble defeating these two no name indie bands who’s LP have been out since april.
So, if she gets number 1, she would have had to spent money like water to defeat a indie band from iceland. But it is all about the numbers. Roc nation have spent hardcore, but how much will she sell?
If the indie band that has had Rita’s neck all week started to promote their LP hardcore; on tv and that. They would murder Rita’s sales. They have already gone top ten in many countries and in America, they write and have real talent, they aint sweating some desperate Rih wannabe.
Just watching Rita’s video Party and B******* on BET as I type. Two in a row wow.
I have been watching BET TOO, they are playing How we do. What happened to that song in America? OH YEAH IT COULD NOT BREAK OUT OF TOP 60.
Who are the two indie bands?
Elbow and Of monsters of men. She has to fight hard to defeat them. She is using money and Beyonce and Jay Z acting thirsty online ( you should see Beyonce’s ad campaign for Rita on her blog, so cheesey ) The indies are getting by on TALENT.
Of monster and men have had their LP out since April, they have not had a UK TOP TEN hit – I doubt a UK top 40, but looks how she has to fight to try and slay em!
Jay-z and Beyonce are pathetic.
More hate I see. Leave this poor girl alone.despite what the navy wants everyone to believe mm.Rihanna ‘s first two albums didn’t do well but she had hits…she built her brand up and worked on being the star she is today.
New artist take time. It doesn’t happen overnight.same goes for (Beyonce&Destiny’s Child). Give it time debut albums aren’t really expected by labels to do anything because it’s about building the brand. Rihanna is cool I just wish the navy wasn’t so immature and had to try to gang up on people on the internet.
get it Rita……She might have a #1 and she might not, only time will tell
I hope Rita Ora takes Jay Z off Beyonce. She looks corny, thirsty and desperate paying tribute to ” her girl ” Rita Ora. All those pictures of Rita on her blog? I laugh if Rit was f****** her man. LOL egg on ya face. Anyway, does any care what Beyonce has to say? When was the last time she had a smash hit?
BTW Bridget kelly’s song has been released. Rita Ora copies Rihanna exactly on the reggae rip off shina ya light. She sings exactly like Rih – with the accent and all.
Kellly the reason Bey and Jay are thirsty for Rita to do well is because she is their investment. Rihanna is now independent of Jay and in control of her careeer therefore it makes sense to push Rita to the world. I mean who else do they have? What happened to poor Alexis Jordan “the new Beyonce”. I hope Rita has a good lawyer and accountant because she will need it workingwith Roc Nation. She will have to work her b*** off for years before she sees makes any decent income because all the money she is making record and promotional sales will go straight into Jay’s pocket. Rita is a little naive (hence my support for her) and hopefully will learn (probably the hard way). It would have been more benecficial if she was signed to one of the other major labels like Epic, Warner or Interscope. Just look what LA Reid did for Cher Lloyd (X Factor UK) who is despised by the Brits but loved by the Americans.
Clearly Jay Z is a bitter black man. I think it is time for Rih to get rid of the last drop of roc nation: her management. She does not need them. Like JLO ( ho hires and fires managers all the time ) She is A list and world famous, she has also proven she can make her own business calls ( she made the call to cut her hair )
She needs a white manager. These n****’s are just to bitter and ghetto acting. As she is doing more movies ( something them n****’s know nothing about ) she needs to get with Benny Medina. The man who made JLO.
Leave these jealous bitter roc n****’s behind, superstar Rih. You are better than them and their washed up camp!
Haha your awesome.
lmao….no one will invest that much money into her other than roc nation just like they invest in rita
then you say they ghetto acting but you acting ghetto just as well
kelly aren’t you a half breed ? no need for using the word n****, hell the c*** you stan for is a n****.
I am also “half Breed” like you put if. Isn’t it a wonder why there is a diide between blacks and mixed-race. Is that what you want? I am of mixed parentage and very proud but what I despise is racism on all levels. Please can’t we stick to the subject and stop the race hate.
isnt benny median a n**** er i think so!! fail!!
Benny Medina (My bad ha!)
Benny Medina is the manager For Rih. He made JLo and she has not talent. He can make Rih even bigger, especially with the Hollywood. He is secure, he is not about trying to replace, when JLO fired him he was not pitiful and try to make another JLO.
Jay Z ,Ty Ty and Jay brown / Beyonce are acting like black people: Bitter, envious and jealous. Black people like to pull each other down like crabs in a barrel.
These American black men are bitter and jealous when black women do well in life. Always trying to destroy their own women – and they always use white / non black women. Even mixed race girls like me. But when white women and white men f*** black men up and leave em broke who has the last laugh?
I know there are good supportive brotha’s who want to see black women win.
racist c*** shut up enough with your rant
Now they want to play the race card(these kids are too funny)……sips ACE OF SPADE
big fat pussie and a icy watch.
The race card?
Black people know there is no such thing, this is what gets said to us when we point out racism. You’re clearly ignorant if you thing Jay-z is not milking Rita ora’s mixed looking (way more white) to try to get white and black people into her. If she was a normal blakc girl she would probably be where you are right now….
pretending your rich… and black…
This is how the white race think of black people. Read article below on page

It’s Really Sad To See The Navy Going Hard Toward This Girl! Like….. Euuuuuh She Newbe, Let Her Try Before Writing Hateful BS. I Don’t Even Care For Rih Before The Beatting Ass And RR’Album… I Think You Can Let This Girl, Rita Has Her Moment Before Hating And Calling Her Flop!
Why People KEEP saying. Rita is a Rihanna or Jessie J.
I don’t think so. Rihanna has better voice, more unique and more strong tone. Whereas Jessie has more control, and wilder range. Rita has nothing to do with them. She is talentless. Her voice has nothing special to my ears.
I’m SO SORRY TO SAY THAT. But I think you can feel to if you have 2 ears.

oh sam if you think “ora” will be #1 in the US you have seriously gone mad they barely play her s*** on mtv and vh1 and im tired of this whole rihannva vs ora or ora replacing rihanna its stupid!!! whether you like it or not rihanna has a bigger stronger fanbase and sold millions!! and one grammys!!! shes not accepted here because shes like rihanna we like DIFFERENT not a frickin copy! you thinkin that itll be #1 im hoping that s*** crack the billboard 200 list to be honest
hunny, rihanna could stop making music all together, and nobody would be saying rihanna who, so you think if rita manages to get some success then she will outdue rihanna? girl have several seats.
Yes, yes.
I predict Rita Ora will be very successful in the United States. Just like… Robbie Williams!
Sorry – no matter how many millions are invested in pushing something down people’s throats, if they don’t like it, they don’t like it.
Look at Madonna – not even being a Legend and having 100 million people watching her on Superbowl helped her s***** single fare any better in the charts… if people don’t like it, it doesn’t work.
Soooo the haters need to stop hating foreal tho.. She is a new artist.. J knows exactly what he is doing.. Rihanna is already set and her reign is pretty much done for the simple fact that she is just a s** symbol who gets great tracks and producers and writers. And big ups to her. Rita at least has some real talent and is also a beautiful chick. Music is transitioning these days. The whole pop dance faze is dying down and true artist are arising again.. Rita will do very well. Shes an actual artist.. She will be molded into a great brand..
That shade of her saying she has the best fanbase ever. Girl…
