Hot Topic: Will Rita Ora ‘Break’ The US?

Published: Wednesday 11th Jul 2012 by David

She’s Pop favorite rookie, rising to fame earlier this year with the radio launch of her first single ‘How We Do (Party)‘.

Now, three years after signing to Roc Nation, Rita Ora readies the release of her debut album next month following the success of her Drake penned cut ‘RIP‘ and a Jay Z headed machine responsible for her gig on Coldplay‘s latest tour.

However, for all her popularity and commercial pull in the UK, there are those who question just how Ora will fare in the US market upon her LP’s States side launch.

A launch, many are hoping will see the starlet enjoy just as much notoriety as label mate J.Cole but more importantly Rihanna, her direct competition.

So now we ask?

Considering her promotional campaign up until this point, do you think Rita has what it takes to ‘break’ the US?

Weigh in below…

    The jury is still out cause to me the songs she has come out with just are not strong enough. I am hoping her album has better songs on it cause I do like her but I think she needs another sound to make her stand out more cause she is a little fish in a big pond and for real I haven’t heard neither one of her songs played so with the right songs time will tell but I have to see what more she has to offer.

    • WILD DEBUTANTE July 11, 2012

      Exactly, couldn’t have said it better.

      I really like her song How We Do, its very cute and ive heard it on the radio in my area maybe once or twice but its just not THEE record, its not IT. Im looking forward to hearing what else she has to offer on her album though, hopefully she has better material…if not? meh whatever.

      p.s – she should really work on her stage presence and delivery because that has a LOT to do with building a connection and persona as well. I can barely watch a minute of her live showings because shes so f***** boring.

  2. JJFan1814 July 11, 2012

    NO!!!!! NO!!!!! & NO!!!!!

    Just cause home girl got ‘vocals’ doesn’t mean she got what it takes to break the U.S.

    The U.S. wants someone fresh, a different image, a different sound, and great music. RIHANNA HAS ALL OF THIS. Rita has Rihanna’s image, Rihanna’s music (since How We Do was initially tended for Rihanna).

    Hang it up, flat screen.

    The haters will deal. Where Have You Been #11 on iTunes, How We Do is #69….KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!

    • Ugh July 11, 2012

      so in other words all rita has to do is sound like a goat while patting her p****?

      • WILD DEBUTANTE July 11, 2012

        No….all Rita has to do is stand out, which is easier said than done.

        Rihanna just stands out, and captivates a s*** load of people. Whether you love her or hate her…

        Rita is just there, nothing too boring or too exciting…shes just there, her and Jessie J could be easily confused as one another IMO.

        ….but hey, not everyone is meant to be a RIHANNA.

    • avante GREY July 12, 2012

      Rita had that look before Rihanna though.

      • kelly July 12, 2012

        The short black hair? That was rihanna look too

  3. That B*tch July 11, 2012

    Enough with this Rita girl already. There’s not one day where I don’t see a “Rita” thread posted on TGJ. And another thing, why do you always have to mention Rihanna when you’re writing something about Rita. They are 2 different types of performers. Enough already! Will she be successful? Only time will tell. Now all of the Rih stans are gonna come out of the woodworks like a bunch of rats right before a natural disaster.

  4. commanderofthedancefloor July 11, 2012

    yall keep trying to push her, but lets face it she isn’t going to break the US this go around, she doesn’t have a single that is burning up the US which is basically necesary. look at all the albums that sold over 1 million they all had singles atleast in the top 20 if not the top 10, rita has neither. but that is not to say she won’t break into the US, i just don’t think this album will do it. she still has time though, if the next single she releases grabs the US medias attention and people love it she can still do well.

    i feel like this album is more for the UK anyways, there is more promotion over there, they got more performances, she did more interviews, her first priority is the UK in my opinion.

      The Last Girl on Earth Tour was the third concert tour by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna. … to Trollpoll as Rihanna earned over $30 million worldwide and around $10 … list were made, with Rihanna adding “Only Girl (In the World)” , ” S&M”, “Love the Way … The round b-stage at the end of the walkway was smaller also.

    Will pigs fly out my ass ????

    There`s another UK act named One Direction who`s breaking the U.S. though !

    I mean getting their debut album which debuted No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S. !

    That`s amazing no other UK did that not even the Beatles !

    The reason why i`m so pressed with 1d is that Sam can post people like Rita Oreos but not One Direction ?????

    I mean they`re getting alot more promo in the U.S. than Rita Oreos

    I mean everywhere there`s a magazine with One Direction on it not Rita !

    The only time I hear about Rita is on the blog sites especially this one !

    • rozel July 11, 2012

      I so agree shes talented, s*** and got jay in her corner but
      she and “tgj” will learn that jay money can’t buy somethings
      he want in this life.

      • Stans Make Me LOL July 12, 2012

        I agree with you both. She has all of the factors, but Roc are marketing her all wrong. I don’t think that she should be pushed as a pop star, I think that she should be promoted like Melanie Fiona and progress into Pop if the public like/ except her. Everything about her promo seems rushed and forced, and the Rihanna comparisons are really damaging her career before it’s even begun.

  15. Benron July 11, 2012

    One direction, Carly Rae Jap-whatever-the-f*** and That annoying screeching girl Sia are on the come-up. Nobody here knows Rita.

    Her music sounds like bootleg Rihanna songs. “Shine your light” is one of the worst songs I have ever heard. It sounds like a disney channel movie reject. How we do and R.I.P. make her seem very trashy talking about, drinking, drugs, s** and naked pictures. She has no depth

    Lay-Z must be dissapointed he spent so much money on this chick, then gave her THREE YEARS to make her an album and her songs are s***. Also no shade, but does look strikingly like a boy so she has nothing in the looks department either.

    Maybe since she loves Rihanna so much she can be her background singer, Im sure she can take Beyonces advice and “be herself” with low mic volume and dim lighting in the background.

    Rita doesen’t even have REAL fans. 90% of them are like Sam and only like her cuz she is “replacing rihanna” and now that it is obvious she isnt they’re done with her. She really has no support, sorry Rita. Have fun in the bars….

    • jamir21 July 11, 2012

      Yes you betta PREACH !!!!!!!

    • That B*tch July 11, 2012

      The same can all be applied to Rihanna. The vast majority of her songs all revolve around s** and partying so what’s the difference? If you’re using that argument then by your logic Rihanna’s songs don’t have much depth either, no?

      • kelly July 11, 2012

  17. kelly July 11, 2012

    She will not make it in America ( you know this, Sam ) and she will be dropped by the year end. Here is why:

    She cannot sing. Her voice is basic – it is not like she is Amy Winehouse or Teena Marie.

    She is by far most expensive new act in history. Rita has cost Jay Z millions: Three years to make an LP, renting apartments in brooklyn, business class tickets for rita and her sister; trips to paris fashion week, personal stylist, up to 4 stylist for BOTH MUSIC VIDEOS, chanel bags, rolex watches; A lsit songwriters; Alist producers who charge $250k per track,edgy expensive photoshoots; TWO HIGN END MUSIC VIDEOS – one filmed in London, the other in LA.

    She is ugly and looks like a man in drag. The white people say this all the time – read it at the New york post. She looks old, wrinkle and haggered. There is nothing fresh faced about Rita. Her body is fat and shapeless. She does not the booty and she is not model thin.

    Her music is wack. It is Rihanna rejected tracks and wannabe rih tracks. Shina ya light is a cheap reggae track. Facemelt is a cheap , contrived techno song.

    Her image is a rip off from Rihanna. Rita was not dressing like that when she worked with Craig David, she spends all Jay money on haute couture, but does not have the body to pull it off. She is too short

    • kelly July 11, 2012

      She has been going back and off to America ever week – with her sister – busines class – maybe even First class, to promote ‘ How We DO’ Just last week she did a radio tour of Texas and yet the song DROPPED TO 65. Even her TV appearance on GOOD MORNING AMERICA – the biggest morning show in the USA only managed to get song up by 4 lots.

      So this costly radio tour is still not making people buy the wack song.

      That is why Jay Z drop her this year. She is too time consuming, expensive, but not special.

    • Benron July 11, 2012

      She doesen’t look like a man in drag, more liek a boy just starting to hit puberty.

    • Lax July 11, 2012

      They can work at the roc or be married to the roc
      and Rita still can’t move rihanna, or slow rih’s progress.

  20. Benron July 11, 2012

    Also, what exactly do they mean “household name”. She wont become a Rihanna, Beyonce or Gaga overnight. Even Katy perry is barely a household name, it takes YEARS and time. Also you need hits, All 4 girls I mentioned have hits, Rita doesen’t.

    Usher is big but not a household name (for the white people, who are the biggest precentage of the market) These white folks even think Gaga is bettter than Beyonce at performing/singing/music which is LAUGHABLE.

    Well, maybe she should try coming off as a “real person”. Britney spears seems manufactured, Beyonce is always lying about something, Katy is completely fake and trying to market herself to people who think its cool to be “akward” and try to act like that on purpose, Gaga’s whole attiude/wadrobe is manufactured andf fake (by her, but still), Adele is always contradicting herself (etc.)

    So yah, maybe she should try ot be real and have a personality. OTHER than “Cheap-boy-looking-Rihanna-clone”

    Rita Ora has proven Jay is not a great business man. It is now more evident, that LA Reid was the brains. LA reid would never have touched Rita Ora, let alone give her 3 years to make and LP spend millions.

    Rita Ora met will EVERY record label in England and they all said NO! The could see she has nothing to offer. Only reason why she has had number ones in the UK is because she is being touted as the ‘ British Rihanna ‘

    Rita Ora has nothing to offer the music world. What can Rita Bring that Pink, Rihanna, Beyonce, Jessie, J Britney, Cher Lloysd Misha B, Alexandra, Leona, Ellie Gouldong, Pixie Lott, Cheryl Cole, Emeli Snade, Amanda from Cover Drive, Ciara, Keri Hilson, Wynter Gordon, Bridget Kelly, Melanie Fiona, Alexis jordan, Xtina, Katy Perry, Kesha, Tulisa.adele, Joss Stone, Leah Labelle ( the other eastern european down with La reid ) CANNOT DO?

      I live in LA – Hollywood is fake, People turn up to anything Hollywood and smile. iT IS ALL a farcade, if your not a hit, those same people, who smiled in your face, will not even take your call the next day/ Now song has come out and she is proving to be a flop, let us see where those same smiley faces will be – GONE. In hollywood….you are aonly as big as your last date.

      She has no personality, her pitch is singing Goyte, Somebody that I use to know or talking Rihanna. There is nothing there! No identity. Drake? Who is he? No on the same level as Emimen who Rih had a mega hit that won a grammy.

      She may be building a fan base, but it is also costing a a fortune. They have to be over budget with this project. Even the styling budget is out of this world. Roc Nation is not even a huge label.

      Also, it not up to what drake thinks – it is the public who will decide if she is worth spending money on. She is not. Jessie J is similar with better music.

    Really, she’s not a competition for Rihanna and Riri is not a competition for her because, Rita is not in the same level of Rihanna, Rihanna competition is Beyonce and not even her can’t take Rihanna’s crown, Rita’s competition is an unknown singer like her, maybe mmm… well kreayshawn or something…….back on topic.

    I am an American and we have a lots of s*** in our charts but she just is not what we like, first she’s always giving us this Rihanna’s looks, way too similar, she said, she’s inspired by Gwen Stefani but all that you see in her is Rihanna or Beyonce…..she has no future here, maybe a momentary success, you know one hit wonder…we never know but i don’t see her becoming a big star like Rihanna, you know if people like my Aphrodite Kylie Minogue can’t have a successful career in the US, why this girl would be an exception, America doesn’t need another Beyonce or Rihanna, both have different images and Music, that’s why they’re both successful, maybe that’s why Kylie is not a successful artist in the US because she’s like Madonna….well i guess i’m wrong, take a look to Gaga, she’s like Madonna and is still successful haha, anyway Rita is just another girl trying to be a star but her British personality won’t take her very far.

    I don’t really listen to her. Hell I don’t even listen to her at ALL just like I don’t listen to lame direction. I wouldn’t know a single word off one of their songs. I just see a lot of fan pages on twitter..And there’s only two cute guys from the group. Harry and Zayn(sp?) But, I think she’ll make it if she gets the right people to write her songs like rihanna then she would have a hit in no time. Jay should really hook her up with drake and that would be a hit right there.

      Lame Direction oh hell no b**** !

      Don`t you ever ever ever ever ever call one direction lame !

    -_- Hell no. The U.S. doesn’t want another Rihanna. I’m sorry but I’ve heard too many people calling her a Rihanna wannabe or saying that they are way too similar. I mean even though she obviously has a better voice than Rihanna, she still makes the same generic pop songs that everyone is getting sick of. Although, maybe if she changes her image, promotes more, and comes out with a fresh and unique album than maybe she might do well.

    I HATE RIHANNA WITH EVERY F****** FIBER OF MY BEING! BUTTTTTTTTT! RITA ORA HAS COPIED AND PASTED EVERY F****** THING RIHANNA HAS EVER DONE IN HER F****** LIFE! I AM SO SICK OF THIS THIRSTY B**** ALFUCKINGREADY WILL SHE POP IN THE US? HELL NAW! RITA ORA IS NOTHING BUT A QUICK DOLLAR IN BEYONCE AND JAY-Z’S POCKET! RITA IS AS DONE AS THAT WACK AS F****** WEAVE AND THICK AS EYEBROWS IN THAT PICTURE! .NET TRY AGIAN

  41. Lax July 11, 2012

    @S******,,,,So true and why in the world would jay want another Rihanna? Unless he know that if Rihanna get a nose that Jay has been Big Pimping her and with
    Rihanna’s connections shes definitely going to turn over every rock to see why so much of her $$$$ has been running through her hands like sand. Rita is a beautiful young thang i do wish her well and i need to stop clowning her because she do deserve a chance. But that grape juice is trying to be cute but they or mudding the waters for this chick and they or doing it big time. I notice that the GENERALS from the bee hive has taken a nap because they seem to know that theres a dead cat on the line as far as Rihanna’s taxes is concerned and they know this. They have been bragging about Jay them Pimping Rihanna and once the White blogs get this and once they start adding two plus two plus two they will
    think and say to themselves and their friends Hmmmm You know she should not be having to get audited by the IRS because she has had jay in her corner all of this time. Come on back Bee Hive and keep trying to shyt talk Rihanna and her
    small group of navy who still give the Bee Hive and haters a run for their money.
    Good luck to Rita but we alreadu have a great, sweet, adorable “RIHANNA” and we do not need and nor do we want another Rihanna. If theres two Rihanna’s then it could be two beyonce’s, Right?

    • S****** Blonde July 11, 2012

      My point exactly.

    • Lax July 11, 2012

      Two Lady Gaga’s, two britneys, two alicia, two kelly’;s
      two lil wayne’s, two trez, two chris, two r.kelly, two jennifer,
      dam what would live be like and Rita love Gwen and why no comparisions to gwen’s work? In rita’s mind she acts like she might end up wishing she was born a caribbean! This
      chick can’t hang with Rih, period!
      @Jay you can’t buy people to like, love or support some one
      yo ass has told that she could eaisly be the New Rihanna
      keep right on wispering in her ear and patting her on the ass and keep telling Beyonce the answeres to all her problems is in Rita, keep fooling them Jay. Just hope that will and jada keep letting you mange their little girl Willow who the grape and bee hive has been waiting on to Replace Rih also.
      Sale on silver moon, because we know rih isn’t going to be over till the fat lady sings, dances and turn a dozen Flips with no big mamma drawers on.

      • Lax July 11, 2012

        @BEYONCE & JAY Are you going to keep the
        baby blue locked in that closet till she draws
        her social security, before we can see her again?

  43. jamir21 July 11, 2012

    Can Rita Oreos get a big fan base like One Direction huh ????

    Can she sell out Madison Square Garden like One Direction

    Can she get a brit award like One Direction ????

    These are the questions that needs to be answer

  44. Nunu July 11, 2012

    I dnt think so in my opinion, her sound is all the same to me. She has a great voice but time will tell. Look at cher Lloyd she doing very well in the states and plus she’s at the top 10 at us itunes

  45. monstarebel July 11, 2012

    hell no!!!!!! she will flop!

  46. perhaps July 11, 2012

    No she has no US appeal the one thing oversees artists have to have to make it in the US is something uniquely DIFFERENT for US artists at that moment. Like Drake and Rihanna there was no one in the industry like them they brought something to the table we’d never seen before. Rita aint doing nothing new. Though she may not be purposely copying Riri her who image screams Rihanna and we only need and want one RIRI and the fact that she is on Roc Nation doesn’t help nor does the fact that JayZ us going hard endorsing her. The girl has talent no doubt, but we aint buying RITA.

  47. Angela Wesley July 11, 2012

    Yes, I think she will make in the U.S. She has a better voice than Rihanna.
    All she needs to do is work on her dance moves. I agree that Jay-z
    need to change her image and promote Rita, instead Rihanna
    copy cat.

  48. kelly July 12, 2012

    Hello TGJ,

    The new billboard list has come out. Cher Lloyd has leapfrogged from 75 – to 51 – to 35 – to 27. Cher is now in the top TWENTY Well done Cher, she is at 27.

    Rita Ora has slipped from 65 to 68. LOL LOL LOL Her song has been out longer and been more promoted than Cher.

  49. Miguel July 12, 2012

    Highly doubt it

    Not with the kind of material she’s releasing

    Sorry, no matter how much you pay up to have an artist hyped.. if you don’t have the songs, not all the styling + promotion in the world will help you.

  50. Nika July 12, 2012

    She is a “over the Pond” sorta girl. …I tried.
