He’s one of the biggest established acts, she’s one of the biggest newcomers, hence it’s only fitting that Usher and Rita Ora join forces for a major trek of one the industry’s biggest markets – Europe.
Details after the jump…
Today saw the the superstar announce a 21-date tour of Europe, titled the ‘Euphoria Tour’ in honor of the fan-favourite song on his latest opus ‘Looking 4 Myself’.
Beginning in Amsterdam on January 18th 2013, the jaunt – which sees Ora serve as a special guest – will journey on to various other major cities in region including London, Glasgow, Birmingham, Sheffield, Nottingham and Manchester.
UK dates and ticket info below…
Tickets go on-sale 9am on Friday 21st September and are available from www.livenation.co.uk or www.ticketmaster.co.uk.
***********
Needless to say, a dual-win for both Usher and Ora. In both cases, most of their successes over the last year has been concentrated in Europe, so why not capitalize on it and make major coin on the way. We’ll be attending…will you?

I thought Rita Ora was the biggest thing in the UK? Why is her album being out sold by Jay Z and Kanye west WTT which came out last year? Rihanna MOT went gold in the UK after only 4 months. Rita is in her first month and she is at 51 on itunes.
week 1 – 40k
week 2 – 17, 460
week 3 – cannot find the figure, but she dropped to number 11
week 4 – 51 on itunes
The new rihanna? yeah right!

This ORA album has not even sold 60k. It will not go gold in the UK. So after all that hype, and all those singles that went to number 1, and all that promotion; TV commercials, tv appearances, album signings etc. The album tanked in the UK.
I thought she had the best voice since mariah?

See if you have got it you have got it and all the money in the World can’t buy People’s love and dedication to yo ass if people are not feeling yo ass. There’s Countless Artist who can sing their Asses off but where are they? I mean they talk tons of shit about Rihanna and always talking about what Levl Rihanna isn’t on and shyt talk about Rihanna can’t dance as good as Beyonce, and all of that dah, dah, dah when in REALITY rihann’s ass has out sol and out Paced many of the so called big Girls and “Ever Last One Of You Know That” and that is why RIHANNA gets all of the NEGATIVE BULL SHYT Written about her and Rihanna is still working her ass off.
If Rihanna drops 6 albums and beyonce has dropped 4
Rihanna has a total of 8 albums with her 6 albums and Beyonce has a total of 9 albums with her 4 albums Sooo
Who has dropped more Albums Bumb Bytches….ANYWHOO Jay dropped 10 albums in 10 Years and i don’;t see yo assses yapping about his ass and his sales and who can out sing and out dance His ass Because EMINEM has dropped less Albums than Jay has and has still Out sold Jay almost two to one.

3000 copies in week 3? That is really bad. Like, something is not right, cos she has had number 1′s and is down with beyonce / jayz etc. She is famous in the UK and over promoted. Then! She meant to have the voice of all voices…… AND! she wis white and blonde, not dark skin. So how do u sell 3000 copies in week three?
With an Album that took three years; recorded in LA, NYC, VEGAS, MIAMI, LDN with Huge A listers like The dream, Drake, Stargate, Chase and Status, Fraser T smith ( adele producer ) Sia, Will I AM, Esther dean, Makeba Riddick ( rihanna’s main songwriters ) etc

VMA commercial with her and her song playing

I am an America, and I have the right to air my opinion. She has been given the best of the best: The best clothes; the best songwriters / producers; the best videos filmed in LA etc; the best promotion of any act ( even lady gaga ) the best hype; all the time in the world. As Look magazine said, it is unheard of to get 3 years – there is no money.
She has bee given the best support. Jayz, Beyonce coming to the studio; coldplay guy picking LP tracks; bruno mars giving support; whole of sony roc nation giving 100% attention. She does not have anymore to give. THIS IS HER BEST. Her voice is not gonna go from what it now to Etta James; her songwriting is not gonna be Freddie mercury. With all the money, time etc in the world, this is all she has.
Rihanna got better, when they gave her more money. They have given Rita all the money in the world and she is getting worse. There are no bigger producers than the ones she worked with.
She will get dropped from both her UK and USA deal.

At least with Rih, she was only 16 / 17. She did not have all money for the fashion and big names. Her first big name producer that she worked with was JR Rotem, and he done SOS which was a global smash. Even then, they still did not give Rih the big budget videos or expensive designer clothes. They have given Rita Ora all the big shit, even before she dropped a record….and this all she can do?

Roc nation read this website. Wikepedia has her first week sales, of 40k of the site and her USA release date of 25TH of september 2012.
I have gone all her Wiki page and they ( roc ) got rid of the 40k and the USA album release date for 25 / 09. LOL LOL OL They are scared,that when folks google Rita and go to Wikipedia, they will see her UK album sales and think what a basic bitch.
It terms of the USA release date – it was meant to be next week – that is why she is Back IN AMERICA. But now………..???????????? Who knows when this LP comes out in America. Sadly, Gaga, Rih and Kesha are dropping in the next month or so. Maybe she will release her LP is the USA next year with her buddy Beyonce.
