Must See: Rita Ora Soars With ‘RIP’

Published: Saturday 7th Apr 2012 by David

Check Rita Ora, serving a live rendition of her 1st UK single ‘R.I.P‘.

Performed at ‘The Crush’ days ago, this is one performance you don’t want to miss out on.

Find out why below…

Undeniably confident, here’s hoping this will silence any in doubt of her live skills.

Yes, though her team may not want to admit it, there are some who feel her deal was scored on her aesthetic alone. Clearly, as this performance proves, this is not the case.

Vocally, her delivery was faultless, and we can’t but commend her band’s fresh take on her arrangement, making this session far more enjoyable than the official release.

If Ora learns to up her game on a dance front, we can’t wait to see what future shows have in store.

Any thoughts Rihanna?

    Oh the shade. Smh. Rihanna has nothing to do with Rita. Rita has nothing to do with Rihanna. Stop bringing them up on each other post. Maybe y’all should change y’all name to “That Shade Juice”

    Rihanna could never…

  8. Hush April 7, 2012

    LOL! Rita can sing her ass off. They said this song was originally for Rihanna…can you image how terrible it would have sounded if her frog-singing ass had put her croak on it? I think all the songwriters and producers who’ve been giving Rihanna songs should start clamoring for Rita to record them instead, because she has a voice that will not only compliment them much more but also make them come alive.

    Rita is the champ.

    #Team Beyonce and now Team Rita YASSSS MA’MA

  10. Shots fired April 7, 2012

    This chick is amazing!! Real talent, beautiful, and s***. Huge star in the making.

  11. GetChoLife April 7, 2012

    “RIP to that h** you call Riri, her days are over, her career is overrrrr” lmao let me stop! I love Rihanna even though she doesn’t posses genuine talent. But we all know she is ready to snatch wigs, braids, weaves, & lace fronts! Go Rita!

  12. whyohwhy2 April 7, 2012

    They coming with talent every da!!!! Go Rita!!

  13. KAT DELUNA FAN April 7, 2012

    TGJ asked rita to choose to work with Bey or rihanna.

    Despite the fact that Beyonce supported her,mentored her behind the music,invited her at her birthday party and her london concerts.She choosed Rihanna.

    I dont know why beyonce keep supporting those mtfs,Jay’s d*ck must be really good or she is dumb.And you bey stans supporting her are even dumber.

    Good luck to rita,she knows how to play people just like goat.

    _ Lllol yours shades are funny!!

  15. Rob April 7, 2012

    This song is wack. It takes more than being able to sing to make it in this business. Ask Ameriie, Teaira Marie, Tamia, etc. You have to have that “it” factor and Ms. Rita don’t got it. Stay pressed while Ri Ri stay stacking checks.

  16. mrDIEGO April 7, 2012

    At what point does she show her talent? Anybody can do a little vibrato..

    Stop clutching as straws TGJ

  17. Josh April 8, 2012

    Great Job Rita Ora!

    I enjoyed it, i love that she actually can sing live, a lot of artist dont much anymore these days.

    Hope theres a lot more coming from her.

  18. commanderofthedancefloor April 8, 2012

    rita get it girl, i still dont like the song but the live version is so much better than the studio version imo! im still waiting for that rita song! something that will set me off when i hear it!
    like when bey had crazy in love, for riri it was pon de replay, gaga had just dance, and katy had i kissed a girl. i think that song she did with the dream might be it! idk but that is one of the songs i am more interested in hearing!

  19. Saetana April 8, 2012

    A decent enough performance, even if it did sound autotuned to me, shame the song is pretty meh. Not bad and not good, just underwhelming and she doesn’t have Rihanna’s swagger. There is nothing wrong with Rihanna’s recording voice, I think the problem is when she tries to sing live notes that are out of her comfort range (too high or too low), she is a reasonable live singer for mid-range notes. Why TGJ keep comparing the two I have no idea, I wish Rita luck but she is just starting out whereas Rihanna has several very successful years under her belt and isn’t going anywhere yet. She also is better looking, a far better dancer and has more attitude, which in my book balances out Rita being a better live singer. TGJ seem to think Rihanna fans are unaware of her variable live singing, we aren’t stupid and appreciate her for what she is – a good recording artist who gets some really banging tunes to sing, all of her singles are better than RIP (I won’t comment on her album tracks, filler much?) so, assuming Rita is competing with Rihanna (which I very much doubt, there are plenty of pop tarts around in the charts), she has a LONG way to go yet to equal Rihanna’s success. I’m only a casual Rihanna fan but I’m sick of TGJ shading her, its getting REALLY old now.

  20. Oh Yeah April 8, 2012

    This Girl is going to be RIhanna’s Replacement!!!! Sorry Rihanna…..

  21. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) April 8, 2012

    The Rihanna gif says it all. I think you were going for “sad” but in the gif she looks like she’s about to fall asleep. My feelings exactly!

    Rita is talented, her material is subpar but she’s great. The thing is that people need to stop using Rihanna’s name to launch her career. And I’m not even a Rihanna stan but this “Rihanna replacement” b******* got me yawning.

  22. miguel April 8, 2012

    Boring

  23. antertain April 8, 2012

    Rihanna looks bored in that gif..

    Rita is cool and i like the lyrics

  24. Kevv April 8, 2012

    and what has rihanna has to do with this girl? uhhhhhhhhhhhh
    how can we compare people with each other if everyone got his/her own thing..

    *sigh*

  25. Linda April 8, 2012

    How come nobody has mentioned that this song is a blatant rip off of a song by the artist called Nneka.

  26. El Santo April 8, 2012

    Pf… i love her, but Rihana still with her imperfections have something that makes her voice special…

  27. kimberly April 8, 2012

    …a nd I MUST ADD, I don’t hate any artist I just don’t support them when they fool the public with gimmicks and not talent. Now Rita has shown me that she can sit and sing with her amzing voice with a live band flawlessly. I think she have my vote until she starts getting swell headed. I hope not. Anybody hating on Rita who has not even released an album yet with such amazing personality, umm this comes from the heart of hatred. just saying. Don’t love Rita cause she takes her close off. don’t like her because she is oversexual and baddass. Love her because of her freedom when she holds the mic and her genuine smile in the eyes. GO Rita

  28. kimberly April 8, 2012

    @ Kat Deluna , you need to listen to the interview again and come make your corrections. I would not do them for you. Also go listen to her other interviews and place your head in a bucket of cow s***. That’s where your brains need to soak.

  29. Lax April 8, 2012

    @KAT,,,,Preach

    Hmmmmm If RIHANNA’S MUSIC IS gimmick as compared to Rita’s
    Then what would a person with a working brain all the KAAAAAAAANG’S
    Music as compared to the top selling artist “ADELE” Enough said i can
    answere that one for my dam self.
    Glkad you bytches have got you some one to add to your hope they put
    Rihanna’s ass out to pasture List. And this this is going to very interesting
    because if Rita can make Rihanna flop and call it quite then Lord have
    Mercy on the Music Industry. Thease air brains see a pertty young thing white looking and they or as happy as a baby in a s***** diaper because their Ultimate
    Goal in life is to see RIHANNA THE UNDISPUTED “HBIC” HUNG OUT TO DRY, DREAM ON BYTCHES, DREAM ON.

    PS IF RIHANNA’S ASS COMES OUT OF THAT FUKKKKIN SADDLE THEN MANY MORE ASSES OR GOING TO “BITE THE DUST” FROM THE SADDLES THEIR BLOCK ASSES OR RIDING IN, TOO AND YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK, BYTCHES.

  30. Lax April 8, 2012

    Spell check some one pleassssse*

  31. Lax April 8, 2012

    Kimberly with their s*** talking self know that they hate Rihanna with a passion
    and will do what ever it take to try to take that shine away from Rihanna and give it
    to a STRAY CAT OR DOG Just to keep it away from the “Caribbean” you’d think that Rihanna killed their whole family and their favorite pets. Rihanna has been in the industry and have made some very interesting strides and at least that is a known since the rita chick is already bigger and better than Rihanna is and don’t even have a album out Therefore i suppose it’s safe to say that Rita will move a Million copies and go #1 her first Offering, Right “Air Heads”?

  32. Richnblack11(JUST LIKE BEY) April 8, 2012

    @LAX WHY DO SOME OF THE TITANIC FEEL AS IF WE HATE RIHANNA WHEN THATS NOT THE CASE, I CAN SAY I JUST DON’T SUPPORT HER.

  33. Man-TAK-eee April 8, 2012

    BORING ASS SONG. VERY AVERAGE VOCALS.. WHAT’S THE BIG F****** DEAL??? NOTHING… NEXT.

  34. KAT DELUNA FAN April 8, 2012

    @KIMBERLY
    B**** I heard what she said,in the end they asked her between many artists bey & goat include,she said “Goat”.
    Where is the lie?

    If you want to support her then fine but believe me,Rih came in the same way as this b**** and Jay pushed her in our faces like she loved/adored bey.Now she is acting ungrateful,arrogant and cocky plus she thinks we “Pressed” about her non talented ass.

    I am saying dont let the media fool you because if Rita and rih (cause this h** will work with anybody even her abuser) work together.Bey stans will be dumb as f*** again

  35. grammy dammy sammy April 8, 2012

    @KAT DELUNA FAN

    no u have it wrong, he asked her who she’d collab with among Rihanna, iggy azalea and another female. Beyonce wasnt one of the options at all. Sam asked her abotu Beyonce b4 that question, after she named Bey as one of her inspirations

  36. KAT DELUNA FAN April 8, 2012

    @GRAMMY
    -Lemme go re-watch this mess*

    It doesnt change the fact that Rihanna jacked her style to close doors infront of her,ruin her image and yet she is ready to work with her cause she is “cool”.COOL??

    She just as opportunist as rihanna to me;Which is not a bad thing seeing how Nicki & Drake worked with rih despite her attitude when they came out.
    “MIND ON YOUR MONEY,EYES ON THE PRICE”

    Rih stans are funny cause when they support rihanna,they also support Jay whom support Rita.But you Bey stans should focus on Bey cause she needs all the help she can get.

  37. flawda April 8, 2012

    Women can be so petty, i find it funny how ya’ll blame men for pitting females against each other but ya’ll do a better job of it than we do.

    What does Rita have to do with Rihanna, ya’ll do realize that Roc Nation has multiple female artist too right. Who are ya’ll gonna pit Alexis Jordan and Bridget Kelly against next?

  38. FYI April 8, 2012

    Sam why are you sniffing Rita Ora soooo much? You come across as fake man.

    Deep down inside you know RIta ain’t all that, but your hatred and jealousy for Rihanna is sooooo strong that you’ll use this chick to make a point which is sooooo INVALID btw.

    Rita Ora just hasn’t got it….. Damn I don’t even stan for Rihanna but even I can see that this won’t be the chick to take Rihanna’s place.
