The US campaign for Rita Ora‘s new album kicked off in stellar style tonight.
For, the British-bred star brought her unique brand to ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’.
There, the Roc Nation priori performed new single ‘I Will Never Let You Down’ – which received its Stateside release today.
Vocals, paint, and a whole lot of energy await after the jump…
Great performance!
With the track already racing up the iTunes 100, Ms. Ora could very well be onto her first US hit.

She did a good job. Why does she remind me of Rihanna tho..
you one of those people who hears something then runs with it you just read all the comparisions and the fact that they with Jay Z Nothing about Rita gives rihanna what reminds you of rih the fact that rita has talent?
Because Rihanna did this at the Brit Awards We Found Love
I wanted more. This was like 2009 Rihanna or 2014 Katy Perry.
lol right
Did you forget who your fave was?

Looool, iconic! PlaybackCheryl strikes again!
Where’s the shade? Cheryl is known
For her performances. You can’t deny that
She sings better than them. No need to diss her.
If you sing a pop-dance song, you better learn how to dance for the live performance!!
Sis, not when you stan for Local Tweedy. The only place she can book stages are at ITV shows and if she’s lucky The Voice. Do you think she could ever book Glastonbury let alone a US talk show with that wafer thin voice of hers? Oh no the f*** she could not, so sit.
B**** what did your comment have to do
With anything I said?
Wafer thin voice? You don’t even know what you’re talking about. She sings better than 90% of the pop stars today.
It’s pretty known that Cheryl can’t sing, as the video in a previous comment attests. The poster was only implying that if you sing a pop-dance song, you better learn how to sing for a live performance.
The comment was shady for sure, but I’m glad was able to show you the light 🙂
Unfortunately you didn’t enlighten anyone.
Being that it’s the pop dance genre, the
Performance is more important than the vocals.
Rita clearly wasn’t going for the vocals or she
Would’ve released a ballad. She was jumping
Up and down doing absolutely nothing on
Stage, not making anyone want to buy her song.
Try again with the cheryl shade.
She looks cute but seriously looks like a Rihanna/Beyonce hybrid anyways the song is weak & the vocals mediocre.
How on Earth does a Ciara fan call anyone’s vocal performance mediocre???? Lmao Rita has a wider vocal range and soul to her voice. She has power. Ciara cant even whisper on key. Embarrassing!
Ciara doesn’t have the strongest vocals but she makes up for that with her amazing dancing Ritas vocals are just basic and her dance skills are non existent oh and she lacks stage presence.
Excuse me? I’m not a Ciara stan but please. Whora over here sounds like she’s about to damage her vocal chords in the song.
That salamander needs to sit, Ciara will do more iconic things
Lmao!! Ciara has no vocals at all. They don’t exists. And have a stadium of seats with that dancing excuse. The b*tch got signed to sing, not dance. I don’t care how well she can dance, she can’t sing worth a damn and that’s all that matters. Shed be better off as a back up dancer for Beyonce or someone.
If her vocals are mediocre, than Rihanna’s are downright embarrassing. She’s awful. She looks good though, I’m not gonna lie. But, that’s it.
Great performance! I was a little worried last year when her performances kinda fell off vocally but this just shows that when she’s back session her voice is on point. I Will Never Let You Down is at #82 on US iTunes and rising steadily. I have a good feeling about this song! I just wish Roc Nation would’ve waited till today to release the video. Streaming would’ve helped her chart well. I see radio picking up on it soon though.
sorry but no…
Yes. Yes b*tch, yes.
i like her but no to the song tho
‘I Will Never Let You Down’ …. but yet you did! she still trying?
what now roc nation…..
I don’t see how she looks like Rihanna here. I get Beyonce because of the hair and skin tone, but that’s a reach. Rita has had her hair like that since last year.
Your fav has no identity of her own. lol
The way Ciara’s career’s set up though.
The way lana fails to stay relevant in her own country
Your fav is a Janet Jackson clone. Right down to the lack of vocal ability. Lol.
She sounded good if those weren’t pre-recorded vocals….
But whats with the childish wedding dress, and messy paint everywhere… Im catching subliminal messages everywhere…..
A Ciara fan talking about vocals? Let’s all laugh together shall we?
Ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha to the f****** ha
Ha ha.
By the way, why did August Alsina outsell your fave with ONE local single? Shouldn’t you be ashamed that Ciara has ten years in the game and her new album sold less than someone who most of the gp don’t even know about?
I dont even know you!
The thirst for my attention is real!
Go buy more copies of Floptition and X.O
Those weren’t pre-recorded vocals, the two back up dancers had mics…….
I’m sorry, you guys can hate but miss thing did snatch and slay this performance. TGJ better ask for a check 2bh.
The good sis Rita did her absolute best imo.
Kiii, Sam and David must be so proud. She did good though.
Slay a bit.
1. Wannabehannna actually did work the f*** out of that song and I’m kinda sorta here for it.
2. I’m sure TGJ are giving their biased asses high fives for making this s*** happen cos nobody knew who she was until you decided to force feed her to us. So yay for you I f****** guess.
Why are you guys seeing anything wrong with what TGJ did for Rita? They did it for Miguel and nobody said anything then.
Because Miguel had it together from the jump so all they did was push him out there to more people which was good of them if i’m being totally fair.
Rita’s first single wasn’t even out and they were on here acting like she was the second coming of Tivo but now I see this was the plan all along.
What’s a miguel
Yeah Sam did help to break Miguel but Miguel deserved it, Rita does not because she has everything handed to her on a platter, magazine covers, movies, endorsements etc.
Miguel had potential so this is different and when he started they gave him the Splash where he proved that he could sing, the way they did it with Rita is different but it’s obvs worked so I’m not mad at em.
Rita earned her spots. The same people who complain about talent not being pushed complain when a talented artist does get pushed….I don’t get it.
If you’re a local star and want that international realness call TGJ lol, look what they did for Round The Way Rita.
International realness? Like Rihanna’s body count?
Fact is, she’s a struggling
Mess
Kelly Kelly? The girl who started off in WWE as a stripper? You couldn’t find any other screen name to troll under? Lmao I can’t!
Bish, kelly’s expose was just a dance routine! She took off her top but her nips were ALWAYS covered.
In the dark times of the divas division, she was the only diva to get massive cheers when her theme song started.
Kelly kelly is hot. Can’t say the same thing about the charmander you stan for 😉
And yet you stan for Miss One Note Rihanna? LMFAO!
Slay b****, slay. Yonce taught ha well.
Good for her and everything but there are so many better people who deserve the TGJ platform and they don’t get it. Mila J and Tinashe are miles better than Rita and BabymamaAra but do they get ANY love here?
Bloop somebody is MAUD! You maud b****? Cos I think you MAUD b****?
Don’t worry about Ciara or even Rita when your faves can’t even their own threads on any of the major blogs I use. I can’t even.
Sorry Sam & David “I will Never Let You Down” will never be a Hit. Forget it. That song will be like #MH370 that Malaysia are still serching for. Hope they find It. And let’s have little hope cus it won’t even make a top 20.
Im sorry but i hope for her sake these were not pre recorded vocals because it was terrible! It sounded like she talk sang all the way through! The bridge was tragic! I must have clicked on the wrong video! Im just not hearing anything good! If this is what she considers promoting, iwnlyd will remain her biggest flop in history
Yeah, she can sing, in the same way all the girls on AI can sing. Ripping of sac’s shirt; dating? cheating on Rob K: paint being thrown on her; name dropping……just how many stunts does it take for this girl to get a top 40?
The performance reminded me of a beyonce tribute act on xafctor or something. RIH RIH or any other singer won’t be loosing sleep; she is no threat to no one/ She is just not a star, I don’t why she keeps forcing to be one.
It took 24 hours for her song to break into 100. With his performance, it only managed to peak at 81. How long does it take Rih Rih to get into top 10? Like a hour or so. Also, Rita, unlike most there singers, has her video out. And yet? People don’t seem bothered and she has been signed since 2008 and hyped up since 2011 as the nEW better rihanna.
OK, now in 2014, why am I not seeing anything? Jay z needs to give it up: maybe sign a male singer and try wit that!
She also has a song with Iggy Azalea called blaqck widow and that ha failed to make a dent in iTunes too.
I stand by it: she will be dropped!
Funny thing is, Rihanna would never even make it past the first audition if she went on American Idol.
The paint was to much. She had great vocals but everything else was off(her stage presence, the dress, etc) but keep trying sis 🙂
NO one gives a f*** about her in the USA; SHE WILL NOT HAPPEN IN THE USA
You wish.
nice voice i hate when ppl can sing slow song but not there pop dance song
cant*
