Watch: Rita Ora Impresses Jools Holland With ‘RIP’

Published: Tuesday 1st May 2012 by David

And it keeps getting better.

Feast your eyes on Rita Ora, serving up a freshly arranged version of her debut single ‘RIP’ live for BBC’s Jools Holland.

Armed with a live band and Rihanna‘s missing talent, Ora gave all and them some on the show- marking her biggest appearance on UK TV thus far.

Though a little shaky on the verses, Ora’s overall delivery makes this best rendition of the song to date.

Interestingly, as she sounds better live than on her official releases, we doubt any of her singles will enjoy high chart positions without stellar performances like these. Performances, which breathe individuality into otherwise generic material.

Performances, which have us all too excited as to what she’s going to do next.

For, more so than any other act Jay Z has picked up before, Rita’s live skills can only serve to boost her worth as a premium touring act- if she ever decides to launch her own live show.

Sigh.

If only Rihanna would learn the error of her ways and accept Beyonce as her Lord and Savior. Then maybe- just maybe- she might stand a chance at putting on a good show too.
