Ever the artiste, Rita Ora has developed quite the knack of taking original songs and reworking them with impressive results. From Frank Ocean‘s ‘Swim Good‘ to Destiny’s Child ‘Say My Name’, very few songs can say they haven’t received the Ora treatment, and last night- Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Swimming Pools‘ joined that list.
Performing the song during her ‘Highline Ballroom’ set last night, it’s safe to say it marked one of her best performances thus far. So good, we hope it becomes a staple in her live show.

No, but she was all over wale, big sean and jay z at the show last night. All she does is fuck men and party with that coke head model friend of hers. She does not sell. Why is jay z fucking with crack head whore who flops and waste his money on drugs, condoms and drinks at the bar?

Ora was a shitty debut i only liked 5 songs off of that album.I think Pop should not be the genre foe her.To me her voice shines best when doing R&B and Soul music.

It was written by Sia, but, unlike Sia, who singing career is a worse flop than Rita Whora, Rih just helped Sia pay her mortgage. Elijah Blake, a songwriter, that works with Rih and Has slept with Rita Whora, said Rih is a singer who takes songwriters songs and makes it her own. You tried though.
If Sia is so great….why did her solo Career fail? She has not star quality. Just like Rita Whora. Rita will never ever make it a be a megastar and I am happy. HA HA HA HA That rihanna reign just wont let up.

It was not concert, concerts are at arena’s and stadiums – the type Rih sells out. It was another rita ora gig, that no one cares for. She has done them all year and where is her hits in the USA? Where is that so called amazing album ? Rih sold 100k to debut at number 1 in the UK. WHORA sold 40k and dropped out the chart. POOR DAT.
I would like to Rita Whora get a top 40 hit in the USA. Rih had two off her debut album.

The delusions of some navy members.Last I checked rhianna is,has always been and will always be a cover star.A case in point was Dimonds which she sang exactly the way it was written and sung originaly by Sia.Even Rita never sings her own songs the same way while performing it.The fact is that When it comes to singing her own songs and doing covers ,Rita is more talented than Rhianna. Just face the truth and quit hating.

Rih is not a cover star. Who else in the game, can sing Pn de replay like her? Who? What singer did she copy that from? May? Rita Whora? WHOM? Diamonds is sang the way the soingwriter and producers instructed her to do it: IT IS THEIR JOB! Sia solo singing career failed. So sia is not that great, is she? Rih is more talented and beautiful that is why se is a megastar, getting leading roles given to her on site, by Steven spieblberg ( happy smekday coming 2014 ) and rita whora is slut, whore and a flop who will never ever make it and will be dropped. Her album is not even coming out in the USA anymore: dropped. Just face the truth and stop hating on the fact Rita Whora, will be selling Rih’s fahion line in River Island in west london next year.

Her voice is limited and has no range. Her and rih both performed on UK xfactor, and Rih came out the winner and Rita ora got dissed. She cannot sing and has no range.

And at some show in detroit. She sang hey ya and Say my name. So, this means, she is a cover star and back up singer at the most. She is not an artist and she has not sound or identity to sell the masses. Not to mention she has zero star quality.
She is no different to the people who go on talent shows. Meanwhile Rihanna will be singing her OWN STAR MAKING CHART TOPPING SONG on teh voice finale.
