Rita Ora graced ‘The Jimmy Kimmel Show’ last night, taking to his stage to perform two numbers from her debut LP, ‘ORA‘.
Armed with a killer live band and her increasingly popular vocals, the singer/songwriter’s performance was impressive to say the least.
Think we’re exaggerating? Check her out in action below….
![Sade Shares the Official 'Young Lion' Music Video Starring Her Son Izaak Adu [Watch]](https://thatgrapejuice.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/sade-young-lion-transa-thatgrapejuice-2024-music-video-izaak-adu-464x260.jpg "Sade Shares the Official 'Young Lion' Music Video Starring Her Son Izaak Adu [Watch].")
Basic b****.
U MAD SHE’S GIVING VOCALS WHILE RIHANNA FLOPS IN SINGING??? THAT’S A REAL BASIC B****!!!
Shine Ya Light was very good, How we do on the other hand was all over the place. It was like a bad roller-coaster ride. I like that her styling has sort of changed though, she seems to want to make her own stamp at it this time.
Her singles are likely to do better than anything BeyFLOP has released from 4closure though. Can I also add on to say congratulations to BeyFLOP for going Gold with “love on top”, after a fake baby bump performance at the VMAs and a flashy video, “Love on top” is now competing with “Birthday Cake” which had, well NO promo at all.
Nah, her singles won’t outperform beyonce’s/ Beyonce can sang,perform, has better songs and is far more beautiful. Beyonce is not basic. She is so basic.
I am more harder on her than you, cos, she has been given way to much time, money and promotion – even when she flops she gets A list movie star promo. For all that, I expect to see, the beauty / body OF HALLE; the voice of Aretha Franklin; the songwriting of bob dylan; the dance of janet jackson ….that is how they hype her up.
B**** YOU BETTA SLAY !!!
i don’t find her interesting whatsoever, nice performance tho.
Bland, boring and basic, and not an ounce of star quality. Her voice / performance was no different to any girl trying out for american idol. In fact, most of the Idol / xfactor girls are better than this/
She looked old – I mean, that is not the face and body of a 21 yr old. She was pitchy; she did not blow sang sang , and though she was singing reggae trying to be rihanna, she could not even dance.
The crowd looked dead. Jessie J on SNL slayed her, and even she did not make it america.
Rihanna’s pon de replay at 17 on the today show slays this. Rih may not have the best voice, but she has great songs, beauty, hot body, she can whine and her voice has character.
Then she is on Kiss FM ryan seacrest trying to force her relationship with no name rob kardashian.
vanish b****.
WHY B/C SHE NOT POPPING HER P**** & STRUMMING HER C*** ITS NOT STAR POWER??? REMEMBER WHEN MUSICIANS HAD CLASS??? SUBSTANCE??? SINGING ABILITIES???
she reminds me of jessie j. she has a good voice but she’s doing the wrong genre of music. her voice is more suited for soul/r&b rather than pop.
Jessie J is a songwriter – she writes for others and she has A REAL voice, and even she is nowhere near rihanna – at 18.
Love Her stop hating losers
Jessie J’s debut american performance

These debut performances were better. Everyone on youtube loved Rihanna at 17 – they always say how much they miss the OLD rih No one expects her to have a voice, that is not why she got signed. If her voice was so bad, she never would of sold a single record/. If I want to hear someone with an amazing voice, i WOULD buy all of K michelle’s songs, cos she vocally beats the hell out Of Rita dosmectic violence style.
at least when Rihanna performs, she is s*** and beautiful – and can whine. There was nothing s*** or beautiful about Rita Ora on stage.

I’d take this chick over a basic bland old looking wanna be.
Look at the hot body she had at 17, and she is young and fresh faced. Cant u see why she became a megastar. The most famous black woman at the moment. The most famous black person.
BITCHH ARE YOU CRAZYYYYYYY *Monique voice*
Errr Well I’ll be damned…. Its a dance scene in this video that was waay before crazy in love….. And its the exact replica of what Bey stole!!
@Yea now what…really?? Your that desperate?? You need to find something else to talk about because your failing at “trying” to diss beyonce.
I don’t get it, are we supposed to be impressed by the video? “hot body”, “fresh face”, “s***”, “beautiful” it’s seems that the only thing that you like is the fact that she’s pretty, yes Rihanna is gorgeous but when it’s about talent, it’s another story. Also her voice isn’t THAT bad in studios, when she has to perform live it’s a problem and it’s worst now (for me at least).
FLOPPPPPPP!!! LOL
You know…I give this girl a hard time because I’d like to see her succeed…In the states…And around the world…….
I know she can’t help with Roc Nation probably pulling the strings….Oh well….Until then….
She is on the wrong label, doing the wrong music. The thing is, all other labels in UK / USA passed on her. Roc was the only one interested.
LOL at Roc nation saying, Rita Ora is performing her hits on Jimmy K. LOL at the people saying…who is rita ora? And what hits?
She is performing 2 flop songs on Jimmy over Ciara or Brandy, and promoting an album, which has not got an American releases date.
What is the point of doing this promo, if they don’t know when they are releasing an american top 40 and LP?
She is just an expensive waste of time and money.

Even this white girl, Leah labelle slays Rita Ora. Yet, she is not on Rihanna’s level at 17
ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAW8Lfdhr4E&feature=relmfu
Thanks wikepedia. They posted Rita Ora’s first week sales.
Week 1 – 40k – was not 41k
week 2 – 17, 460
Week 3 – at 42 on UK itunes.
FLOP FLOP FLOP FLOP LOL AT ROC NATION AND BEYONCE.
Officially confirmed by wikipedia. Rita Ora LP only sold a pitiful 40k in 1st week, which would made it it 2012 lowest selling debut.
Now, she over a 50% drop in sales. 17, 460
Week 3? She is at 42 on uk itunes .
Her album won’t even go gold in the UK. LOL, bet beyonce feels hella stupid for spending all that money promoting this flop and her flop LP.
What a global flop. She released her UK flop LP in australia last week and it has yet to break into the Australian itunes top 20.
LOL @ this blog trying to promote Rita Ora like she’s the biggest star on the planet, covering her every move. She has yet to have any chart success in any country outside of the UK!
In the meantime, Christina Aguilera, who has sold over 50 million albums worldwide, is having a Q&A on Twitter today where she will announce the title of her album and release date, yet no news on this blog about a TRUE global superstar
What a joke
Not only that, this blog is run by a black man, and yet has ignored Emeli Sande – half Zambia – and she is the biggest selling act in the UK. You’d think he’d be proud that a black mixed Zambia girl, who won a brits critics choice , writer and vocalist has done well.
He has done not a single post on talented singer song writer, Liane La Havas, who is half jamaican. She has a voice like Etta James, Sarah Vaugn and has been endorsed. Her LP went to 4 in the UK – WITH NO PROMO – JUST ON WORD OF MOUTH and she wrote EVER SINGLE SONG.
He is not even supporting black talent. His agenda is just to destroy Rihanna. He is the only blog – black and white that is pressed like this. Even perez hilton was not as bad as this back in the day.
Endorsed by prince, who flew her out to the USA.
That is not true…he does not cover rita Ora’s every move
He chose to ignore her made in America performance.
He chose to ignore her first week sales ; he chose to ignore her second weeks sales; he will ignore her their week sales;
He chose to ignore RIP being cancelled in America after being 535 on itunes. He chose to ignore RIP / HWD floppin canada. He chose to ignore her singles flopping hardcore in Germany. He chooses to ignore the sales figures from Europe.
Her chart success in the UK consist of three forgettable number 1 – who have been slayed by Goyte, Carly etc
HER LP is the lowest selling debut of the LP and crashing out fast.
She is not a big deal in the UK.
Anyway, Rihanna got all the press last night, as the papz went nutz when she was seen in LA, with her hit new haircut; alxander wang booties and……..HER GOLD GRILL – HER GOLD GRILL HAS GRABBED ALL THE HEADLINES.
POOR DAT! You can’t outshine rih!
Expect Rita Ora to be seen with a grill very soon.
New Acts who slay Rita Ora in talent and sales.
Cher lloyd
Rebecca Ferguson
Carly Rae Jepson
Amelia Lilly from the UK
Little mix
Karmin
Liane La havas
Emelie Sande – the name that scares Ritabots
Lana Del ray – my fave
Jessie Ware
Stooshe
Tulisa
Do not even dare compare this girl to Rihanna.
Misha B
Elle Varner
Sales? Ok. But talent? Have you ever watched a performance by Carly Rae Jepsen???? Little Mix?
Really this is it?!this girl is basic as hell..wtf happened to radioactive?I’m sorry but this is not going to do so well on the hot 100 chart..and don’t try to shut kelly down,you beyhive dont shut down people like blue when they make stupid comments
They try and shut me down, cos they are scared of me. I am hitting them with something hurts; FACTS! . I am not gonna come here and say ‘ you h** ‘ blah blah. I am gonna come with numbers. I am on my wall street – I stay, giving numbers.
People like
Number don’t
lie
Check it out! Her LP has no confirmed released date – yte you get Kimmy Kimmel holding your CD, as if to say it is out this week.
You perform a flop single after it has been released
You perform a single, but claim the USA is getting radioactive – which u did not perform
You are on Ryan secreast in LA – talking about You and Rob Kardashian are a seriosu couple, but claim to be a singer songwriter. Thirsty much?
Roc nation are still promoting her in the USA but she cannot break into the top 40.
???????????????????????????????
Roc nation – rockafella records 2.0
You are right. That is it. And she is not IT! NO IT FACTOR, AT ALL, SHE IS OLDEST 21 I HAVE SEEN.
I expect to see Ciara being interviewed by Jimmy Kimmel and performing 5 songs. If they can have no name flops without a single hit, then Ciara better get mainstream love.
she is so basic its sad ,i wonder how old mama beyonce feel supporting a flop like this hahahahahaha BEYONCE YOU ARE A SAD OLD B****
Speaking of rita Sam do you have ORA sales for us..this is the third week and its as if there was no album released..i heard that it also got released in australia and new zealand any news..anyone?
In Australia, she is 33 on itunes – she has not made the top 20
THE LP was released in Canada – it is not on the chart, either they scrapped it or pushed the LP back.
UK – she sold 17, 460 in week 2
WEEK 3 she is 42 on itunes.
How is Roc Nation going to recoup their money? I hope Rihanna refuses to go on tour with her. I think Jay Z will force Rihanna to go on tour with her so that they can take money from Ri to Rita, Bey and Jay Z. Where would they get the funds to promote her second LP? Are they going to spend as much as they do now on her 2nd round? Why is Roc Nation so convinced that she is going to eventually pop off and be big.
Katy Perry was never propmoted like this, Kesha was never promoted like this, Justin Bieber was never promoted like this. What is the logic behind this big campaign that makes it seem like we have no choice but to accept her generic music. Why can’t Roc Nation realise that Rita needs a new single for the US (Ballad) not any of the songs on the album.
They can save all this promo for when she has the rite material to promote.
They cannot force to do jackshit with this girl. Beyonce is using her funs to promote the flop.
NO STAGE PRESENCE AT ALL!!!…….I WAS QUITE BORED AND THAT SHINE UR LIGHT SONG IS NOT GONNA GO ANYWHERE…….ILL GIVE HER TO THE END OF THE YEAR IF SHE DOESNT START SELLING!!!
How anyone can hate Rihanna for yodeling and then praise this chick for… yodeling, is beyond me. Just look at ‘Shine Ya Light’.
I’m not saying it was bad, but if Samantha wets his panties over this, i don’t get the Rihanna bashing.
Why the hell she didn’t perform her current single? Her promotion is massive, but not smart. R.I.P. jumped 100 positions on iTunes after her appearance on the show, if she had performed the song it would certainly be Top 200.
Shine Ya Light is not even available on U.S. and How We Do already lost its chance to become a hit…
Promote the songs, Rita! Not yourself!
This is was said from a Rita Ora fan online.
” Roc Nation needs to clarify things up in the U.S. Rita says Radioactive, they releases RIP, she promotes shine ya light. ”
For the first time, I agree with something you said, Kelly. Roc Nation has to learn that expensive promotion is not the same of effective promotion
She looks like Bey in that picture!
I thought the exact same thing
she definitely has a voice! not a very good one but it s good! i will stop hating on her! i think she just needs better songs!
I’ve seen Rihanna hit better notes than some of this girls notes in. Shine Ya Light. She has a very monotonous tone and a limited vocal range.
Someone pls give Rita 3 seats, 1 for her ass, 1 for those terrible edges and 1 for her mic.
I have yet to hear Rita hit a high note.
But rihanna can’t sing………….. Should I pull up all those videos ? Smh delusional
damn…. this girl is good i mean just google kelsnetwork
This performance is one of her best but I wish she would have performed RIP instead.
I am DEAD DEAD DEAD at these comments.
Dead @ Rihanna fans hating on this performance as if their fav could or has done better.
Dead @ a R****** calling Rita monotone when Rih sings in the same key in every performance. Reply to me when she can belt like Rita did here.
Dead @ Kelly citing Wikipedia as a source of info. Didn’t you learn better in Junior High? ORA did 46k world wide its first week after being released in the U.K and Ireland. 1,700 came from Ireland, the rest is from the U.K. Check ChartNews, or mediateaffic for receipts.
Dead @ Kelly posting performances from everyone but the person she claims to stan for.
Dead @ a Nicki stan commenting on vocals
Take a seat, please!
Rita ain’t slaying NOTHING! lol
I posted videos of debut singers like Jessie J and Leah labelle who murder Rita
I put a video on Rihanna at 17 – slaying with her platinum hit – Pon de replay, which charted in every market. Something rita knows nothing about.
THIS SUCKS!!! I WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT RIHANNA!!! RIHANNA AND US NAVY MEMBERS WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP HER SLAYING ON THE WORLDWIDE CHARTS!!!! RITA GO BACK TO KOSOVO WE DONT WANT U OR LIKE U HERE IN THE NYC OR THE USA!!!!
Shine Ya Light is a great song! The crowd was really into it, too. All the negative comments and thumbs down come from hateful b******, who happen to be Rihanna fans. She’s great, and I hope she blows here in the U.S.
No, her songs aren’t sure hits like Rihanna, but Rita sells the S*** out of them, a la Beyonce. Not everyone wants fast-food song of the moments hits, or needs them to sustain a career. She actually writes her s***. She’s developing, and it would be nice if the navy would lay off her while she does it. I’m ready for the thumbs down, too, because the navy is so scared this b**** will get a billboard hit in the U.S. they spend hours commenting, thumbs downing positive comments hoping they’ll convince people not to like her.
B**** Bye!
You Ritbots are hateful and envious that Rihanna has made it, and she has not. Rita does not write a single song on HER LP. She is not a star, end of story. Even Rob kardashian cannot make her a star.
Scared she will get a billboard hit? Y’all been saying that all year. Your just scared when Rihanna released her newLP – everyone will forget about Rita – wait, no one even knows who she is.
Even Karmin snatched Rita’s wig. Rihanna is scared of a global flop who’s LO sold 40k IN its first week. Rihanna is not even scared Of Beyonce. Rihanna at 17 was not even sacred of beyonce.
But do people really like Rita Ora? If so, why has she not sold a million yet? Lana del ray has sold over 2 million.
I’m not a ritabot, I’m simply sane. If Rita flops, she’ll flop! Stop crying out flop before she’s even officially does. I can care less about Rihanna’s particular brand of success. I’m just saying, that’s not what type of success Rita is after–clearly.
Stop. Being. Hateful.
From what I can tell, Rita has a nice voice, but no “star quality”. To me, she just lacks that certain “something” that makes me want to keep paying attention to her after the song ends.
Sad to say, but in this day and age, with few exceptions, personality and packaging can get you farther than actual singing talent. Rita can sing, but unless she can attract a sizeable, loyal fanbase who will support her by BUYING albums and concert tickets, and not “I want Rihanna to fail, so I’m gonna get behind Rita” internet bandwagon stans, she won’t last long.
Truth!
I agree too.
When it comes to vocal talent, people mean Alicia Keys circa 2001; Amy Winehouse, Joss Stone, Mary J blige etc.
Rita does not have an amazing voice like that. She can sing, but it is not the same as when 20 yr old Alicia Keys came on the scene and she could SANG.
That was my issue, they keep saying how talented she is. But……The voice is not spectacular and she does not write her music. When alicia Keys was Rita age, she was hailed for her VOCALS, piano playing skills and songwriting ability. She was the real deal. With Rita, I am not seeing anything, that has not been done before.
I am not sure if It is Roc nation f****** up……or Rita Ora is just not good enough.
