Peep these pics snapped in Manchester, UK last night- taken at the first night of Rita Ora‘s long awaited ‘Radioactive Tour’.
Kicking off at the Manchester Academy, last night’s showing saw her wow fans with live renditions of songs pulled from her UK debut, ‘ORA‘- responsible for the 2x Platinum single, ‘How We Do‘.
More below…
Hmm, while all reviews from last night’s show pointing to excellent, we can’t say we understand what Rita was packaged as. For, though her gear would have worked on the runway of niche fashion show, it didn’t really for work for her.
Granted, while we’re sure they’ll make more sense when footage from the night emerges, we’d say Rita could score sweeter units if she became the Tumblr ready girl next door and wait until she is more established before rocking such daring fits.
In saying that, we’re sure that once we see the show, it’s her voice and not her fashion that will take center stage.

She will be making a loss from this tour. Her ticket prices average $18 and venues are 2000 – 3000 capacity. She has to pay iggy, band, dancers, designers, transport, hotels, staff, share some of the money with the label (360 deals), and 20% management fees. Infact her label will be sharing costs not profits. Roc Nation thinks they are building her fan base now and they will reap the rewards later but only if they knew that will never happen with this girl.

Not to mention, she got Peter Dundus from Pucci to custom design her tour. Huate Couture for a tour is normally reserved for mega A list Stars. This girl is D list flop and she is getting haute couture stage wear for a small tour. The tour barley sold out, just last week, her management were begging tickets last week.
She did not rehearse. She was in NYC, Paris – TWICE AND Thailand partying. She only started rehearsing a few days ago. Rih tour starts in march and she has started rehearsing with Hi Hat.

Yup I agree on this one. I am to believe TGJ is getting paid for their unreasonable and unsubstantiated support for such mediocre talent. I personally feel like they are force feeding us RIta Ora, and that really not cool, i think her career is testament , it is evident the people are not interested.
Now on to the talented black girls who are not getting recognition, can you include Tinashe (mixed race)!! now she should have been signed by Roc nation a long time ago and had the budget Rita got , and would have made profit for them as opposed to Rita.

Sam I have noticed that you are starting to see the missteps that led to Rita not blowing up regardless of that huge promo. Roc Nation believes so much in this “Shove to people’s throat” theory that they did not focus on the qaulity of music. They did not allow Rita to be a struggling/upcoming artist, they introduced her as a superstar. How are going to market her next project?????? Urban don’t like her and she’s not unique for mainstream.

Her figure and face is so manly looking, she looks like the living version of homo-habilis. Rita-Whora-Habilis should just give it up, she’ll never be a successful pop artist. Beyonce wasted her money

Last night was the second time I’ve seen this ‘thing’ in the last six months. Not through being one of the drones that queues up to see her but because of my job. Both times she has been awful. Now, I don’t like this sort of music, I absolutely detest her. So I thought it was just me. But when paying customers who did queue for hours started walking out halfway through both gigs, it really says something about her! She is an Awful artist who can’t sing live! Red arrows welcomed!!!

I’ve seen her twice in London and I thought that her voice was amazing, however her music is beyond wack, which ruined the shows for me. Miss Ora needs to start setting the trend instead of following it, she needs to check Jessie Ware and more underground artist for inspiration because these dance tunes, hideous outfits and bleached blonde hair do nothing to showcase her true talent.

They walked out? LOL LOL Well, I am not shocked paying customers walked out of her ‘ tour ‘ . She flew in high bidget stylist from New York and Hired Pucci to design her tour clothes. Yes, this no name flop, is hiring Haute Couture to do her clothes. The tour started in Jan 28th, but, instead of rehearsing, she was partying in NYC, Paris – twice, thailand and London. She only started rehearsing 2 days before the tour.
Rih tour starts in march and she and Hi Hat have already started rehearsing . That is the difference between the princess of pop and this flop whore WHO WILL NEVER MAKE IT AND WILL GET DROPPED.

Sam, give it up. Your blind hatred of rihanna is the only reason u stan for this flop. Even you do not sound convinced. She is a no name flop playing to 3000 people in clubs, who are walking out. Yet she hired a NYC stylist , and her uk stylist and got pucci to custom make her these lavish stage costumes. All this money and fan fare for a flop playing in nightclubs, where people are walking out?

Jay-Z and Def Jam fucked up on this one. Rita Ora sings a million times better than Riwhorna, but she looks too much like her and is trying too hard to be a superstar. The main problem is that HER MUSIC SUCKS! WTH is with the wack ass music production and melodies???? They are so boring and uninspiring! Had she had catchy tunes, especially club bangers, everyone would have been all up her coochie like stank Riwhorna. That’s it… it’s just the music that sucks. She can keep the blonde hair and colorful lipstick, but she needs a much better stylist and needs to hit the gym more.
