Roc Nation‘s no stone unturned approach for the launch of Rita Ora may have yielded a #1 in the UK and a budding smash in the US, yet that hasn’t stopped their train from charging on. Full-speed.
The 22 year old’s latest stop? Our good friends over at SBTV. There, Rihanna‘s recurring nightmare showed why she’s that and so much more.
Peep the performance after the jump…
Yes, yes, and yes!
As a keen appreciator of the song in recorded form, it’s clear that her vocal capacity and texture was played down (perhaps in a bid to appeal to the masses). For, she sounds phenomenal here.
It’s so refreshing to see a mammoth push launched for an act that can actually sing. It, quite literally, has been ages.
Great performance.
Your thoughts?

listen f***** f** stop putting rihanna f****** name with everything this one hit wonder does, its fun how you try so hard yet fail everytime
but why u mad though? oh cause she has talent…oh ok
No ones mad about lack of talent both singers have. I’m not a fan of either, they both suck. But these comparisons been played out and TGJ is getting paid by Rita’s people obviously to make these jabs like she actually better than anybody vocally. 3 notes the whole song and yelling to get the notes not to come out so raspy isn’t “talented” singing.

@Yea i said it, the truth hurts that bad? She sings the same song but in so many different ways and that’s what you call talent. Plus with clothes that’s something you cant say about you know who, I want say the name, but, you know!!! It’s sad you will put her down for having talent and the other one you know is just an image only and you want go crazy over. Rihanna is not a one hit wonder she already has proven that with the two number ones already. Again, another plus she’s not the one on drugs and drinking her self to death because she knows.

Whowwwww SHE SING BETTER THAN RIHANNA!!!!!!!!!!
Whowwwwww SHE SING BETTER THAN RIHANNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will you shut the f*** up about Rita Ora already? Damb do yoy get paid to promote her??? No one gives a f*** about this b**** damn
obviously u care enough to comment on her post instead of ignoring it dumbass
Im gonna urge all riri and rita fans to not to comment on any post about rita or rihanna that uses the other girl to get hits. This is the only way to stop this stupid comparisons for both girl’s sakes
Prove rihanna does drugs and u got a case. Nt rumours hardcore proves.
i <3 her
Let’s compare… Rihanna as a 22 yr old > Rita 22 yr old…
Oh ok
but why u mad though..rihanna been here longer than rita and still cannot sing, dance, write music or dress herself…..oh ok…next
Get that promo!!!! Rita is the future. That other chick is on her way out.
I just LOVE this girl she is SO charismatic, fresh and has a BEAUTIFUL voice cant wait till her performances are televised cause talent like this needs to be seen by EVERYONE. Wish she performed on BB Awards tomorrow that would be straight BREAKTHROUGH but she’s nominated and that’s HUGE no matter what the award is for.
Love her acoustic versions she sounded great here. This one is my fav though; I can listen to it over and over again repeat

Yes that’s what they used to say about Rihanna. she’s sweet and innocent. I’m not dumb and the rest of the media isn’t dumb to fall for the innocent look anymore. Rita may look sweet but just about a month ago she was caught outside yelling at her Kardashian boyfriend. She has an ugly side you don’t know. Believe me all this hype will lead to sharks in the water. People don’t care for pretty faces anymore. they want to see talent.
That is why she is going t make it. She actually has
real talent.Like someone said she has Rip and How we
do three different ways and they still good.
Rita is gonna slay!! Jay-Z just needs to start pushing her to the U.S audience
I can really see why Jay-Z loves this woman. Rita has a voice on her that won’t wait. People I see another Nicki & Kim thing going to happen. Nicki looked up to Kim in begining after she learned her style it was over. Funny how Rita always sings R.I.P. as if she was singing it to Rihanna lol. Jay’s probably putting something in her ear.
iknow right
So because.she argued with her man she’s not sweet >_> boy some of you are stupid. Rita is a nice girl who treats everyone with respect because for two years she had to wait for her moment. Her personality and talent are whats gonna make her a HUGE star!!! People are getting tired of the rude IDGAF chicks with no talent. Rita is the future, and the future is now.
PS Rita had her first shoot with VERSACE today. She’s gonna start getting them fashion covers now… watch out navy
That H** Juice, ya’ll need to quit trying to pit artist against artist. That shyt is so dumb. It’s enough fans and money out here for both Rihanna and Rita and they are both talented in their own right. You dumb fukks get on my nerves with that mess.
Lisa go F*** yourself no one is scared of her you people and fagot Sam need to get a life rihanna is already already a star and there is no competition fuckers get a dam life
the haters are mad..the haters are maaaaaad
yasss rita kill the girls with RIP….we all know who y’all talking about
Rihanna navy cult not gonna be allowed to hate on Rita because they scared of competition. Thumbing down anybody who likes Rita or says something nice about her. So Rita fans are gonna keep kicking the cult in there teeth until they stop hating. Keep slaying em princess riri.
Please Rita dpnt hurt em
She didn’t…
When will yall learn that Rita’s success is not determined by Rihanna’s demise?
…Regardless Rihanna already addressed the Rita comparisons back in ’09 when she said: “All up on it/know you wanna clone it/ Aint like me that chick too phony/ Ride this beat( like a poney)/ Meet me at the top/ Gettin lonely”
At this point, it’s VERY obvious that Def Jam UK has some sort of small venture where ThatGrapeJuice HAS TO mention Rita Ora at least once a day, and Sam’s fat f***** ass gets paid.
Rita is not signed to DEF JAM
stop hating on this girl already damn
Is it her fault Goatssie jacked her entire identity? 🙄
Huh, people who think this is “great” in terms of vocal ability obviously aren’t educated in music at all, just pop culture sh*t. Rita’s range is small!!! She stayed on 3 notes the whole song! Breathing control in ONE part of singing, singing 3 notes the whole song isn’t WOW! like TGJ tries to make this performance. She’s yelling the whole preference to make her voice sound more powerful than it really is because she’s raspy as hell. Huh, TGJ, how much is Jay paying ya’ll and be honest.
I agree. Also, whey are these posts always about Rita & Rihanna as if they’re the only two singers in the world.
I honestly dont care for either and getting peed off that this blog is starting to lack the capability of featuring/promoting anyone else.
It doesn’t even feature r&b anymore and has given way to pop and basic singers
Why does this girl look like a Z version of Rihanna! And she is boring doesn’t have that it factor! Who is the next it girl I’m ready, cause it ain’t her!
Oooooooooops rihanna and rita just followed each other on twitter. Hahaha, now you haters must feel stupid!!!!!!
Interesting picture
