    “Yes, if you’re like us and can’t get enough of Roc Nation‘s latest starlet Rita Ora, ”

    None of us are like you guys so….

    • Live ur life August 26, 2012

      that Explains Her 3 number 1s etc yeah None of us like her uhm rihanna stans speak for yourself

      • Owen August 26, 2012

        Are you trying to make yourself sound foolish? I like rita a lot, I really do, BUT she has 3 number 1’s in the UK. That’s a big deal. *sarcasm* Rihanna’s fan base is at least 30 million times bigger than Rita’s so obviously people like her, no reason for us to speak for ourselves.

      • Live ur life August 26, 2012

        You dumb as b**** what I was tryna Prove was that people do actually care bout rita if not why she getting number 1s? People are checking for her read right next time

      • Owen August 26, 2012

        What was there to read right? Your really stupid. lmfao.

  2. RICHANDBLACK11(UNLIKE RIHANNA, BUT RICH LIKE BEYONCE 300+MM) August 26, 2012

    Yass Rita Give us Talent babe

    Keep it Classy and lady like

    • Benron (King Of The Navy) August 26, 2012

      Classy ladies not wear thigh high boots, they have respect for themselves and do not need sexual attention evtime they step out.

      • RICHANDBLACK11(UNLIKE RIHANNA, BUT RICH LIKE BEYONCE 300+MM) August 26, 2012

        so in others words you prove me right, Rihanna is classless and not ladylike Right.

        damn I know you people are dumb, but I didn’t know you were that damn DUMB.

      • Benron (King Of The Navy) August 26, 2012

        There is a difference between Classy, Classless and jsut plain inbetween. I never categorized Rih.

  3. NANA Yaw August 26, 2012

    Rita Ora is the best!!

  4. Owen August 26, 2012

    Rita has so much talent, but she does nothing for me as a live performer. And being the fair unbias person I am (lol that grape juice reference), it is completely wrong to talk about Rihanna’s performance skills when Rita just stands there, the vocals are there, but the stage presence is not.

    • Live ur life August 26, 2012

      Rihanna stans there sounding terrible Doing stiff as moves (once in a life time) plus Rita is a singer Her VOICE does the talking You can’t be a singer and Can’t sing? Where they do that at? You can either Dance or sing or even both But ri got none of that

      • Owen August 26, 2012

        Excuse you? You sound foolish like I told you before. Her moves are not stiff first of all, it’s better than anything rita can do. Rihanna can sing amazing live. I’ve seen her 3 times & she slays. And yes Ri got it. Rita don’t. Your such an idiot. Get hit by a car please stupid thing.

      • Benron (King Of The Navy) August 26, 2012

        STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN OWEN! BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP! FYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

  5. slimsexy August 26, 2012

    Such an amazing talent.I know that with this album,all the Rhianna comparism will be thrown out of the window.I dare say that this is a solid debut album.

    • kelly August 26, 2012

      Stop lying to yourself, you do not even sound convinced. An Amazing talent this girl is not Adele, Emelie Sande, Sade or Teena Marie. Those women are amazing talents. In terms on the LP, the reviews are in………..ORA IS A CHEAP KATY PERYY AND RIHANNA KNOCK OFF.

      • RICHANDBLACK11(UNLIKE RIHANNA, BUT RICH LIKE BEYONCE 300+MM) August 26, 2012

        where is the proof? ….stop going by what beron stated …post a link or something

        WHAT IS YOUR ISSUE WITH RITA ORA?

      • veronica August 26, 2012

        are you the failed bridget kelly? ritas the only artists on rocnation to work lol because of herself not because of rocnation,,, take it or leave it. ur either being paid or a burnt bitter black woman… she has 3 number ones deal with it h**!

      • kelly August 26, 2012

        Veronica,

        You said I am a burnt bitter black woman ( i am mixed ) last time I checked it was white women like Rita ora who burn fry and crack in the sun. LOL LOL

        You are a skin cancer sunburnt white women. Same as Rita ora

      • Benron (King Of The Navy) August 26, 2012

        @rich

        I do not remember the site but look up the reviews yourself. He noted that Young single and s*** was a Bey knockoff and the standout track was facemelt. He called it all Rih bsides.

      • RICHANDBLACK11(UNLIKE RIHANNA, BUT RICH LIKE BEYONCE 300+MM) August 26, 2012

        well post the link or copy and paste

  6. delani August 26, 2012

    Yet another RITA ORA post… this is so annoying.. i am no longer a fan of this site and will never come back to it… if you go back 30 pages back on this site the majority is about RITA ORA.. like seriously just outta control, she is not even talented and she will never be a international superstar… her album will never sale in the US mark my words.

    • Stephen August 26, 2012

      No! but what is annoying is all those Rihanna posts

      • kelly August 26, 2012

        umm Rih is a superstar.

      • veronica August 26, 2012

        um ur a sad /ho lol rihanna is a goat who gets her p**** out lol

  7. I am blue Ivory fierce August 26, 2012

    WOw this girl did her thing

  8. DOSSOME August 26, 2012

    Her singing is average at best,her personality is non-existent…who wants a rihanna,beyonce & gwen stefani wannabe that happens to be short and not pretty?perhaps the UK,…the day she hits it big in the U.S is probably the day DRAKE will wed AALIYAH!!!NEVER

    • kelly August 26, 2012

      She is so short. She has no neck, a short torso, thick dumpy legs and even heels she is 5ft. She wants to go up against a tall amazon supermodel like rih.

  9. slimsexy August 26, 2012

    Don’t ever say a young artist particularly one with potential will never make it,cos when thy do you’ll end up looking stupid.
    Ps the only track that sounds rhianna is RIP.Since you know so much please educate me, what singles on the album sounds like katy perry and Beyonce and Rhianna?
    I guess the navy are tired of comparing her to Rhianna so you bring up Beyonce to get the hive to hate Rita

    • kelly August 26, 2012

      Roc the life sounds like breaking dishes.

      Shine ya light is a reaggae rip off like all of Rih’ west indian joints.

      Radioactive is a dance knock off of we found love and only girl

      Uneasy / young and s*** is a Beyonce to the left to the left rip off

      RIP is rihanna ‘s track that she rejected.

      Love and war is drake / rih rip off

      One of the rita songs ( do not know the name ) is shut up and rive rip off.

      I am not a katy perry fan, so her fans need to point it out.

      There is nothing groundbreaking – all Rih knock offs ( beyonce and katy perry too. I also here Jessie J on this LP – she ripped her off too

  10. Live ur life August 26, 2012

    Why does every thing bout this girl have to be rihanna? Like rihanna DOES NOT have her OWN sound (trend jumper she does what’s IN) plus the “stole rihanna look” is s*** Rita had that style waaay before ri (got receipts) This album is Solid its like after the comparisons with Ri every Rihanna stan tryna bring Rita Ora down its Pathetic Like rita Has actual talent and Ri does not They are NOTHING alike I see nothing bout them that’s the same Its just rihanna fans being insecure and its looking pathetic cus Rihanna is the bigger artist (sales) Rita on the other hand (Talent) Let the girl live and do her thing stop bringing Rihanna name in her post It looks pathetic like you tryna prove something

    • BEYHIVE August 26, 2012

      lmao “rihanna does not have own sound”…you’re pretty much pressed. reggae influence with a bit of r&b infuse with rock. who else does that s***. you need to take several seats.

      • Benron (King Of The Navy) August 26, 2012

        Nobody, dont forget EUROPOP, Rihanna makes the trends.

    • kelly August 26, 2012

      Rihanna does have a sound. You know a rih song when u hear it. You her voice on the radio. She is the only girl to sing with a west indian accent and fuse reggeae, dance, pop, rock , hip hop and rnb.

      She was the first black singer to do dance. Please dont stop the music is a dance track. She did that in 2007 BEFORE DAVID GUETTA, Chris brownl, neyo, usher, flo rida and Beyonce started to sing in euro dance beats. SHE HAS A STYLE, why do you think roc are using her whole life as the blue print for Rita ora?>

  11. Live ur life August 26, 2012

    You dumb as b**** what I was tryna Prove was that people do actually care bout rita if not why she getting number 1s? Like seriously 30mil good for her nobody said she not bigger than rita cus she is Rita just starting her album hasn’t even dropped Plus 7 albums 30 mil? Wow britney 7 albums over 100 mil there seriously something wrong their

    • I am blue Ivory fierce August 26, 2012

      These stans will slaughter anyone who isn’t their fav smh ugh sad…

  12. TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER 1 FAN!!! August 26, 2012

    F*** this.. Taylor swift is number 5 in the Uk single chart!!!

    • Benron (King Of The Navy) August 26, 2012

      TayWhore is mediocre.

  13. I am blue Ivory fierce August 26, 2012

    I wish stans would just die, they stan for their artist and destroy them at the same time. GIve this woman a break why hate her, this is only her first album…

  14. Musiclova101 August 26, 2012

    I like Rita n Rihanna does genric pop songs all the time lately like we found love only girl in the world etc there’s more but I ain’t gonna look 4 them cause I don’t care Rihanna mostly does genric pop-period

    • Benron (King Of The Navy) August 26, 2012

      Rihanna’s music could only be sung by her. Only girl is pratically spitting with her personality, you have to look at the lyrics “Hot ride?” “Prisoner for the night” “Makes you feel like a man” “Take me for a ride” ‘make it last all night”

      ANyone could sing ANYBODIES SONG, but not with as much personality and confidence as who it was meant for.

  15. www.hitahit.wordpress.com August 26, 2012

    Love Rita!!!! One of my fav song of Ora is “Shine ya light” reagge!!!!!

    • IStanFor Rita August 26, 2012

      shine yah light is not reggae Bob marley would be disgruntled from just hearing that its a rock tune with rihanna inspired man down b side vocals

  16. Benron (King Of The Navy) August 26, 2012

    Until she decided to sing songs that fit her voice I will point out that she sounds confused and akward as she just stands there and the audience has no idea who she is. Did anyone here her begging for Robs attention on twitter as Ri and him went partying at a mutual friends. She deleted the tweets then said she was hacked and deleted that too #POORDAT

    Boring performer, no dancers, no props, no confidence, no audience interaction, no presence, no lights, no stage setting. Its a pity people are even trying to lie and insinuate seeing a Rihanna show is less intresting, she puts on a show with all the things I just mentioned, Rita is cute just sitting her but I would never pay to see her “show” Its the equivalent of watching someone sing at a subway, even talent shows are more elaborate.

    • kelly August 26, 2012

      I saw her begging Rob kardashian on twitter. She deleted it because she read the feedback: Rob K looks cuter with this stunner Rih over her chubby short ass. Can someone make her stop speaking patios on twitter. SHE WILL NEVER BE BLACK OR WEST INDIAN AND SHE WILL NEVER BE RIH.

      I CAN’T WAIT FOR HER TO GET DROPPED. I HAVE ENOUGH OF HER TRYING SWAGGER RIH LIFE! B**** TRYINA BE WEST INDIAN NOW!

      • Benron (King Of The Navy) August 26, 2012

        My mother is west indian (Jamacian) so I know a lot of Jamacians/Trinidadians/Bajans and Rita fakes it worse than the guy “Snow”

        Its also very ignorant to say Rita is not copying Rih because Rita is impersonating a Jamacian and Rih is bajan. Most carribean music originates from Jamacia and Rihs producer are making songs like “Watch n learn” and “Man down” that are straight out of the jamacian studios.

  17. Peter Griffin August 26, 2012

    From listening to this album I’ve noticed her voice is actually quite average. Plus what’s up with all the pointless profanities. We all know you ain’t a bad gal! Even Riri finds it hard to pull off! It also sounds a bit rushed. It took her 2 years to ripoff every and any successful artist to then force it down our throats with the millions spent on her PR. TGJ just stop taking the money from Roc Nation and be truthful about this h**! It so obvs they paying you to write about her. Just stop, STOP!

    • kelly August 26, 2012

      She is average, even for a white girl. Jessie J, Tulisa, Joss Stone, Duffy. Jess Ware, Fergie, Gwen Stefani, T*** Marie Christina, Pink, the legend ( who btw shits on beyonce and mary j blige ) Celine dion, Leah labelle, Jojo all murder this girl vocally. Amy and Adele too. And Pixie Lott!

      She is so overrated and hyped up. If her voice was that amazing and she was so talented why does she need all the Rihanna gimmicks and force fed PR?

      Last week, in order to get her 3rd number 1, they put the story about her sleeping with Bruno mars, if her voice was great, why not just put the music out?

      As one on the bloggers said in the daily mail: ” Rita Ora is an average singer like any of the UK xfactor contestants who got lucky that Jay z was looking for a new rihanna. ”

    • kelly August 26, 2012

      They are paying to big up this h** and trash rih. NO OTHER BLOG IS ON RITA’S NUTS ( WHILE HATING RIH ) AS BADLY AS THIS REJECTED DARK SKIN MAN. TGJ IS ROC NATION FRANCHISE.

    • That B*tch (would you like a rihfund with that)? August 26, 2012

      It took her 2 years and it sounds “rushed” to you as you claim?

  18. Nai August 26, 2012

    Vocally, I think Rita was very solid. I am not a fan of her styling (clothing wise). And I think that her boots restricted her from being as free and entertaining as she could have been (either that or she needs a choreographer to teach her how to work a stage). I think that she is ok for someone who isn’t a seasoned stage performer. I think that she may need to hit the gym, not because I take issue with her weight but because I think that she needs to build stamina/endurance. I am not too sure what part of the set “Radioactive” was but she seemed tired to me. I like some of her music and I may get the album but I don’t think I’ll be paying for it…

    • Benron (King Of The Navy) August 26, 2012

      RITA IS THE QUEEN

      Of the walmart flops, I saw her endorsing gum today LOL!

  19. That B*tch (would you like a rihfund with that)? August 26, 2012

    She is one of those girls that happens to be both pretty and ugly at the same time.

  20. S****** Blonde August 26, 2012

    Thatgrapejuice is desperately trying to give this girl free promo, get over it, she could only debut at number one in the UK no US as you all Rihanna haters want.

    • MC August 26, 2012

      Maybe if Sam and everyone at Roc Nation prays hard enough it could happen. You never know lol

      • S****** Blonde August 26, 2012

        Maybe…

      • Benron (King Of The Navy) August 26, 2012

        @MC PRAY? they do not have tiem to pray, they must DISCOUNT DISCOUNT DISCOUNT and if that doesent work they should start buying themselves.

  21. JAKE (I DEGRADE FLOPS & PRAISE TALENT = DEAL WITH IT B****!!!) August 26, 2012

    THE THING THAT REALLY PISSES ME OFF ABOUT RITA IS THAT SHE HAS THE TALENT TO MAKE IT FAR BUT SHE ISN’T LETTING HER TRUE ARTISTIC INVENTIONS AND MUSICALITY SHINE.

    HER VOICE IS WONDERFUL AND SHE IS AN EXTREMELY GOOD-LOOKING WOMAN BUT SHE ISN’T GOING TO APPEAL TO ANYTHING AND ANYONE BY DOING, EXCLUSIVELY, POP/DANCE/DUBSTEP/ELECTRO-POP.

    DAMN, I JUST CANNOT WITH THESE TALENTED SINGERS WHO, JUST TO GET A SLICE OF FAME, END UP GOING DOWN THE GENERIC ROUTE AND STRIPPING NAKED JUST TO GET A #1 SONG, ALBUM AND A NAME FOR THEMSELVES!!!

    FOR F*** SAKES!!!

    RITA, B****, GET IT TOGETHER PLEASE. DOING WHAT YOUR CURRENTLY DOING AND CONTINUOUSLY LIVING OFF OF THE RIHANNA/GWEN STEFANI/DEBBIE HARRY-ESQUE, RETRO-DRAGIMAGE WILL NOT GET YOU ANYWHERE. BE DIFFERENT. RELEASE A R&B/SOUL ALBUM – LET YOUR VOICE SHINE.

    • BEY-AND-ADELE-4-EVA August 26, 2012

      PREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEACH!!!!!!!

      The best comment I’ve read all day.

      Get it boy.

      😉

  22. blatantly hating August 26, 2012

    If you like it I love it….
    I find her(Rita)boring and vocally boring however she still sounds better than Rihanna.
    The navy wants to try to go hard at real talent .
    Did I see a r***** say pink is better than Beyonce? Looks,vocals,performance wise Beyonce shits all over pink. I love alicia but stop it. I remember before she got signed she used to sing at this club and they would boo her for doing mjb song. Get real @ Kelly!!
    WTf did it even have to do with Beyonce or pink. Stans are f****** crazy why try to tear a new artist down to make your lessor talent look better. Everyone isn’t a 90’s baby. We actually know and witnessed when talent still mattered. Rihanna stans are no different than any other group except for most Stan groups Stan for people who actually have talent.

  23. MC August 26, 2012

    BTW, she looks horrible in that pic >_ <

  24. reno August 27, 2012
