Watch: Rita Ora & Rihanna Live At ‘T In The Park’

Published: Wednesday 17th Jul 2013 by David

As far as Brit Pop Princesses go, very few can say their debuts shone as bright as Rita Ora‘s.

Now watching her combined UK sales edge towards the 1.4 million mark in the space of a year, last weekend took the 22 year old beauty to the ‘T in the Park’ Festival, one of two Roc Nation acts scheduled to rock the event…Rihanna being the other.

While there, the former ‘Abercrombie & Fitch‘ sales clerk proved that while Rihanna may boast better material, she’ll never hold a light to Ora as a live act…blazing the stage with a charisma and voice the ‘We Found Love‘ star simply lacks.

Watch them both in action below!


Great job Rita!

As super fans of the Albanian star, it goes without saying that we can’t wait to hear what her second album/US debut has in store, and sees her range worked to its full potential.

Hopefully, it’ll see her play up her feminine rasp on jams akin to ‘Radioactive’  and Katy Perry‘s ‘Thinking of You’ and- with this feminine rasp in mind- begin using Alannah Myles  as a point of reference when working on belts.

So, let us know…

Whose performance did you prefer?

    • Ballsy July 17, 2013

      We’ve been waiting and the bish is a poor understudy. Miley gets an A+ Selena gets a C but Rita gets a flippin F for Flop

      She needs to fawk Harris harder for a hit tbh!

      • Ballsy July 17, 2013

        Also let me add . This post will get more comments now because Rihanna has been mentioned. Rita by herself is just not enough to get the comments

      • Selenator July 17, 2013

        Girl bye. Just because CAGI was written for Rihanna doesn’t mean Selena copied.

    NOT at Riherpes doing a stadium tour with 235239434924 dates but still grossing less than a thieving fraudulent t***** doing an arena tour

    Combo kiiiiiiiiii

    • THE GREAT LACEFRONCE. July 17, 2013

      T***** CACA is a washed up flop

  3. Rosie July 17, 2013

    *insert boring “Who?” comment from Navi who are always the first to comment in a Rita post*

  4. The Boy Toy July 17, 2013

    But only 220k albums sold 🙁

    • Rita Slays July 17, 2013

      Of course the Navy brings up sales in a post about vocals. And its over 250k in the U.K alone boo 😉

      • The Boy Toy July 17, 2013

        But you can’t be a “pop princess” with sales like that sis. 😆 THAT was my point.

      • Navyordie July 17, 2013

        Your a duck Sam put her sales in the post u dumbass, I guess you can’t read.

    • Ann July 17, 2013

      how can you shade Rita when Rih sold 238,000 copies first week with unapologetic?

      • Music July 17, 2013

        But what has Rita sold long term? She could never be on Rihanna’s level. Lets be serious, sis.

  5. Lovebird (bow out b****!!!) July 17, 2013

    Why does Beyonce want to look like Rita Ora? LMAO Beyonce copying a copycat, ultimate kiiiii.

    Also I swear I’ve seen Rihanna wear that outfit before. I’m certain of it.

    • Rosie July 17, 2013

      Why aren’t you stanning for Cedric anymore? Kii

      • Molly July 17, 2013

        To bad i don’t stan for Cedric or anyone else for that matter

  6. JJFan1814 July 17, 2013

    The fact that you call Rita a pop princess which is why you all will never have any type of credibility. I guess if an artist can flop left and right and experience only mediocre success, as long as she has vocals, then she’s music royalty….

    Makes a lot of since. As the old saying goes “Vocals don’t get you no where in today’s music.” It’s about personality, brand, and the music itself. F*** the vocals. That’s the truth.

  7. JJFan1814 July 17, 2013

    & Rita lacks personality, brand, and good music.

    :-\ That’s the truth tea.

    • Navyordie July 17, 2013

      Rite! It’s about entertainment, the 15 year old ill girl next door can sing her ass offf but she boring as hell, nobodies going to watch her

  8. Molly July 17, 2013

    Rita> lana

    • Rosie July 17, 2013

      Lana>everyone else>>>dog s***>>>>>>Cedric

  9. Rosie July 17, 2013

    I mean Born To Die outsold Fantasy Flop, Basic B****, and Cedric in its first week.

  10. Brazilian Beyonce!!! July 17, 2013

    Rita is a better live performer than rih

  11. Brazilian Beyonce!!! July 17, 2013

    Rita can slay if she gives us slow Jazz ballads she’s capable of creating her own style of music. Look at Lana Del Rey slaying charts because she’s original and has better music

    • Molly July 17, 2013

      Lana is far from original

      • Rosie July 17, 2013

        And neither is Cedric with his basic ass ratchet Rihanna b-sides.

    • Nika July 18, 2013

      I like Lana but she did steal Nancy Sinatra SWAGG; BIG TIME!!!

  12. Rita Slays July 17, 2013

    Everyone knows who the better performer is out of the two.

    • Nana July 17, 2013

      B**** stfu, you’re obviously Rita herself or her f***** ass stylist. Rita is not original & she has NO stage presence. You only show up when there’s a Rita Story. You’re a flop b****, When is your album coming out? Or are you too busy sucking d*** for tracks?

      • Rita Slays July 17, 2013

        No duh Im here every Rita post you dense c*nt, I stan for her. And if your checking for every Rita post you do too. Rita has vocals, that’s all she really needs. Two sold out tours proves it. Seethe ugly

    • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) July 17, 2013

      Yeah, Rihanna. And you know I don’t stan for her BUT if I had to choose between the two; Rita’s not even a second thought! Lol! S***** vocals, stiff tree stump legs walking around AND BAD MUSIC?? No ma’am. At least Rihanna’s music is on point (not vocals) and she looks good. Rita has….nothing.. #Truth

      • Rita Slays July 17, 2013

        S***** vocals: let me redirect to any performance of R.I.P acoustic or any Shine Ya Light performance. Stump legs? If you want a model to look at go get some tickets to a Cassie show. What do physical features have to do with live music you shallow carpet eater? If you want to watch a model walk around stage with goat yodels that’s fine I guess. To each is their own.

  13. THE GREAT LACEFRONCE. July 17, 2013

    LOL @the struggle of Rita WHORAS ww sales with all the promo and money M***** Z has thrown into her brand 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

    The H** IS LOCAL!

    • Brazilian Beyonce!!! July 17, 2013

      That m***** made your fave. So shhh and bow down peasant

  14. Meena July 17, 2013

    Rita can sing but her songs are basic , She should get another team and stylist ASAP for the other album

  15. #Hive July 17, 2013

    Rita & Rihanna both s*** on Ciara & Lana vocally end of story.

    • Meena July 17, 2013

      Lana > Rita

  16. RihBoy July 17, 2013

    Are we all going to really ignore the fact that this performance from Rita was absolute s***….what notes did she hit…was that z flat or z m inor…because she sounded the f*** horrible. Omg. I couldnt even make it all the way through that. Now i see why the blogs neglected to mention her existence at T in the park. The crowd looked like..wait what song is this…yet she is a big star in the Uk…..she isnt even good enough to be called a Rihanna understudy..she is a Rihanna wannabe. She will never…..even with support from “King” Bey she still remains non existent. Rita has been talking about this new album forever. I hope she plans on bringing it real hard, because she has a lot of making up to do.

  17. JOSELINE HERNANDEZ *THE PUERTO RICAN PRINCESS* July 17, 2013

    WHO DIS FLOP B**** IS???

  18. ^AKA^ July 17, 2013

    Wow Sam, already third post about Rihanna’s performance At ‘T In The Park’? You better stan girl.

    Anyway, I liked Rihanna’s set more and looks like the crowd from the video agrees with me. Bigger ovation for RihRih.

    And just 1.4 million units after 5 singles and huge promo and big songwriters/producers that did her album? Music Of The Sun had 2 singles, did 1.5+ million worldwide and Pon De Replay has sold 2+ million in the USA alone. Right Now, a flop single from Rihanna, is about to outperform How We Do Party which reached #62 on Hot 100 with million performances. Wow O.o

    • Rita Slays July 17, 2013

      Your facts are off.
      *1.5 million isn’t bad considering only two singles were released in the U.S, the biggest music market.
      *Only 4 singles: R.I.P, How We Do (Party), Shine Ya Light, and Radioactive. Facmelt just got video treatment for Hunger Magazine. No iTunes special release or radio release or promo
      *What millions of performances are you talking about? How We Do got performed on GMA, that’s about it. Rita’s U.S promo campaign has been pathetic. Right Now is as generic as they come and its Rihore’s 12th million single, how is it fair to compare it to a debut single from a foreign artist?
      *Most importantly, why does any of this matter? The post is about performaning, something that after almost a decade in the business Rihore has yet to improve. Rita has only been touring for a year and she’s already growing as a performer, having more fluent sets and adding in dancing

  19. Kay July 17, 2013

    Rih Rih Was great. I only liked the first song from whora the rest the music was too loud and you could barely hear her.

  20. rih rox July 17, 2013

    Rih Rih Was great. I only liked the first song from whora the rest the music was too loud and you could barely hear her.

    Sorry whoever that account belongs to. I didn’t check and it showed up on my screen.

    • Meena July 17, 2013

      That happened to me too but with your account

  21. Dev July 17, 2013

    Neither have stage presence or great singing talents. One has better songs, is better looking and has a better stylist which she shares with the others

  22. TeamBreezy July 17, 2013

    Rihanna’s 3 little songs shitted over anything Rita Oras’ ever done. Lets cut this BS out please, this girl is going nowhere and lacks appeal. I cannot believe she is actually younger than Rihanna but looks like her older sister from her dad’s side. I cant

    WHAT NOW – rita on her struggling lack of career

  23. rih rox July 17, 2013

    I really dig that first song from whora, I watched it twice wish it was longer.

  24. Yeah I Said It July 17, 2013

    Dead at them only showing 3 Rihanna songs on B** 3 though.

  25. Yeah I Said It July 17, 2013

    Rita Ora is giving me Beyonce tease with that hair

    • Yikes July 17, 2013

      Well after kissing Beyonce ass all day, she better be thankful Bey gave her some hand me downs

  26. Kay July 17, 2013

    Its kwl

  27. Lovebird ( Bow out b****!!!!) July 17, 2013

    Rumor has it t***** Caca is performing, dead MTV has got jokes. So is t***** Caca going to roll her wheelchair on stage and roll her ugly ass all over the stage to a backtrack of Madonna hits, b**** have all the seats in Yankee stadium.

    T***** Caca is obviously the grotesque sloozy hired to keep all the acts in check. Behave yourselves or we’ll send the troll t***** Caca is keep you on check. I cannot at this fake ugly ass fraud.

    • RihBoy July 17, 2013

      Lol omg not all the seets in the Yankee Stadium!!!! I honestly don’t care for her….I dont know what happened. Its like when she started of everything was cute and ok. But when she started doing that crazy theatrical extra s***, she lost me. I always give artist props when due, however I really haven’t liked much of anything she came out with after paparrazi and paper gangster era. I prefer Madonna over her anyday. She is a fraud. She is ugly. Thats why she does all this extra s*** like wear meat, and come out of large eggs. She has to draw fans in somehow. Oh and lets not forget her faking gay and giving a f*** about them. Please she can careless…

  28. POP ROYALTY [RUDE BOY] July 17, 2013

    THIS pic is s*** as hell, you can not ignore that.

    got my d*** stand up for love, those perfect boobs maaan. 😆

  29. POP ROYALTY [RUDE BOY] July 17, 2013

    I’m Sorry, But Robyn’s Set was Epic EPIC EPIC, the “stay” and “Diamonds” Performances are just NAVY-ICONIC.

    The “diamonds” one gave me goosebumps. 😀

    Rihanna is at That point in Her career which people Love Everything she do and Iconize Everything she does, starting from her Random hash-tags to her IDGAF attitude with it’s elements, Everything she does now is Iconic.

    Loved it.

    Ms. fenty wanted to hug everyone in the audience tho, I know she wanted to do that. 😀

  30. POP ROYALTY [RUDE BOY] July 17, 2013

    Loved Rita’s Set and I appreciate her, She’s Cool and hard-worker.

    Love her too. 🙂

    I wanted MORE of her dancing though….. if This b**** can dance, then s*** will get Real and Ugly.

  31. ADMIT IT July 17, 2013

    Epic RiRi..Just BadGal Epic!!!!! You betta Stan SAM

  32. Vionnet July 17, 2013

    Rita : sales, moves, songs = pathetic and not original

  33. ArikOwen July 19, 2013

    Hate to say this, but Rihanna did really well. I certainly don’t want to see the girl fail, but she’s just been super annoying to read about lately. I’m a recent fan of Ora’s and I think I over played her album, because I need a break already..

    I’m all about Skyler Grey’s album right now. It’s f****** amazing.
