Hot Shot: Rita Ora Covers ‘Notion’

Peep Jay Z’s favorite blonde Rita Ora, working the cover of ‘Notion Magazine‘.

Gracing the publication’s ‘London Love’ issue, the singer/actress opened up on her stage school past, her relationship with one time collaborator Craig David and her ascent to Roc Nation.

More of Rihanna’s problem below…

While we’re not entirely sold on the shoot, it’s safe to say everything else Rita-related couldn’t look any better.

From her well received ‘Party‘ clip, to the positive press she stays receiving, it’d be a shame if ROC employed the lazy tactics they use on Rihanna with Ms.Ora.

For, with a work ethic clearly showcased in her recent promo rounds and a clean cut look and sound under her belt, she has the potential to move major units, only if ‘The Jays’showcase Rita the performer, rather than Rita the personality.

This, coupled with a series of stand out videos and an airtight campaign should see her excel where Not Beyonce failed- proving her worth as a credible act with a real passion for growth.

Not a wig changing tabloid junkie without a #1 album to her name.

    But Sam is not the writer of the post,stfup

    Rita performs unless goatssie .Goatssie is doing everything for headlines but still nobody is interested to make a buzz.Rita needs to show her uniqueness before her talent,that’s how the game works right now

    Is it necessary to have Rihanna in Rita’s posts??? Oh wait……

    I’ll wait for this chick to get on anywhere near Rihanna’s level…

    :-/ Which will never happen.

    How does Rihanna’s c*** juices taste?

  10. Hottie – Queen Of Dragging April 23, 2012

    She wants to be Rihanna so badly.

  11. B**** you look fine April 23, 2012

    She so much is swagger jerking rihanna in the first and second pic. I wish she lives up to the hyp Tgj is giving to her. Riri has graced a gazillion of mag covers. No one is sweating over a single mag cover except for a certain fan base. Anywho looking forward to WHYB and EOT. Am so ready for the race!!!

  12. POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY) April 23, 2012

    clearly she watched rihanna’s ” YOU DA ONE ” music video and said :

    hey , you guys , i’m gonna copy this to activate the “Rihanna Vs. Rita” Comparison and ignite the interest in me again. isn’t that what made me popular ?!

    😡 😡 😡 😡

    Rita , Gurl :

    but i still like her cuz she’s cool and funny and this is a rare thing in this industry.

  13. kingphoenix April 23, 2012

    Yaaaaassssss!

    Rita, you have them so pressed over your originality that they bring up a flopped black and white video of which the concept for said video was taking from all sorts of movies and photography. Yet they say that you are “copying”. LMFAO! I guess…

    @JJfan :

    Yes BRO , school them ………..

    i like Rita , but that photoshoot is a step back 😡

    she can do so much better. but at the moment , she can’t be compared to a global superstar like RIHANNA. she’s still a TINY crawler in the industry 🙄

  18. kingphoenix April 23, 2012

    61 mill is nothing for the megasupstar rihanna usually does. she is a well established star…her videos usually make 100 mil in the time span of U da one has. Come on son you really gone do that. Try to compare an up and coming Rigal auOra video views to some one whose career that has been built on digtal scams/sales? Okay sis, good luck with that one.

    She can’t be compared to Cassihanna Fenty yet the Titantic live for making baseless and generic comparsion between the two. Yes the Titanic is a sinking ship built on gimmicks, fantasy, illiteration, “thug lyfe”, and as you see from this rude gal CONTRADICTION.

  19. kingphoenix April 23, 2012

    oh yea i forgot the Titatic is also built on lazy vocals, two left-feet, and illiteracy in conjunction with alliteration.

    i love her but her body is not the business

  24. t April 23, 2012

    Go rita! Rihyodel cant even get a #1 album so dont even mention her with king bey.

  25. virtuoso intellect April 23, 2012

    @POP

    why not help yourself to a few more copies of TTT while u are searching for download links for Beyonce fans. it’s not a good look for a “global superstar” to be on her 6th album yet only a measly 2 off those have crossed the 3million mark

  26. Onyx April 23, 2012

    I honestly don’t see this girl becoming a Superstar, she is just famous in this site. no flow, no beauty, no style, her voice is 0 to me, i just can’t seem to understand the anxiety of this site for this girl.

  27. virtuoso intellect April 23, 2012

    dead at the use of u da one video, are u serious? there is not a single frame of originality in that video except the shots of rihanna’s cooch.

  28. virtuoso intellect April 23, 2012

    of course her voice is 0 to u, years of madonna and rhiyodel do major damage to the senses. Your sense of hearing in particular has been distorted. You wouldnt recognise a real vocalist if it was an angel muse serenading your ears. why dont u do yourself a favour and google her name, if she get hits from other URLs besides TGJ then u can drop the repititive mention of “this site”. it’s not a very convincing tactic

  29. Onyx April 23, 2012

    @virtuoso intellect
    A real vocalist: Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Frank Sinatra ect, ect…. Why i have to google someone like her, is there any news of her.

  30. kingphoenix April 23, 2012

    Death at you thinking that shoots of Rihanna’s cooch are original.

    those ppl satisfy me when it comes to vocals. and why you act as if you know better ?! music is all about personal tastes , calm your tits !! 😆

    and did you listen to all Madonna’s discography or you just the average listner who think madonna was just speaking S** ?! do you even know ” ray of light ” ?! 😡

    and being mad at me for Guiding you Beyonce stans to the right track is not significant !!

    and change that stupid name 😡

    @oNYX :

    let them be gassing her , we will see what’s gonna happen at the end ! but TBH , i like Rita !! i hate that they are charging her for something I THINK is bigger than her.

  32. virtuoso intellect April 23, 2012

    @Onyx

    Rita is a real vocalist in her own right, she can sing in key, she stays in tune and she does not strain on notes within her range. thats more than can be said for the half-baked nocalists you stan for.

    bye.

    meet me at the ” where have you been” music video post !! i know you will be there before me to criticize as if your goddess’s videography is #MAJAH.

    now go buy this generic album by your goddess ” THE LINK I POSTED ABOVE WILL TAKE YOU THERE” and see her stanning for cassie “the d*** sucker” in her website. so you are here saying rihanna is a nocalist while YOUR FAV stan for a W**** with no voice at all !!? WOW 😯

    SALAM !

  37. virtuoso intellect April 23, 2012

    @POP

    oh so its her vocals that got u spewing horseshit on her MAG COVER post huh? you stan for rihanna! nobody takes u serious when it comes to discussing vocal dexterity. your musical taste = billboard top 10

    i know they had to fire a large piece orchestra during the making of Evita because Madonna’s vocals fell ………short

    you have no business guiding Beyonce fans anywhere, many support Rita. What’s your excuse for polluting this post?

    yes i can and i will ! when your fav creates melodies, does vocal production on her albums, directs her own videos, wins 29 ASCAP awards, edits her dvds, re-arrange her hits acoustically, pays for her own studio time, records an entire album without the consent of her manager, then we can talk.

    there’s unoriginality and there’s just being a dumb-as-brick manufactured puppet

  42. KAT DELUNA FAN April 23, 2012

    Everything goatssie has done in the past stay in the past.We look to the future ..RITA IS THE NEW PRINCESS OF THE ROC.THE OLD ONE DAYS ARE OVER ..BABY SHE IS HOVA

    Beyonce supported Cassie because she released an amazing pop record not some crappy s*** like :”WE FOUND DRUGS” or “WERE MY COC’ HAVE BEEN” 😉

    bew u dont need to worry about the record sales of my fav. she gets paper just lounging on yachts in the south of France. your fav only makes enough to get high for the next critically-slammed show anyways.

    whatever my fav’s videography is, she has more VMAs to show for them than urs so she’s doing something right

    lol why u mad Queen Bey showed Cassie babe some sweet love? Rihanna can steal her look but she cant steal that honour. stanning for the Queen on instagram is not gonna work lmao …..

  45. POP ROYALTY ( THUG LIFE ) April 23, 2012

    @kat deluna fan :
