Rita Ora may be working on her second studio album (which also dubs as her US debut), but that hasn’t stopped Roc Nation‘s newest diamond from receiving accolades for her first offering ‘ORA’.
The 22 year old will be beaming tonight after it was announced that she has been nominated twice at the BRIT Awards 2013. Kosovo-born/London-bred Ora is up for Best Newcomer and Best British Single for her chart-topper ‘R.I.P’.
With the show being to the UK what the Grammy’s are to America, it’s an honor most acts work their careers off to achieve.
Check out the full nominations list for the February 20th event below…

eeeww that pic of Rita looks like all she does is suck d*** chile
IM TO SCARED OF BEYONCÉ RIGHT NOW!!!
RITA’S ALBUM IS HORRIBLE. WHY IS IT EVEN NOMINATED?
The people who nominated her disagree. You mad h**?
Rih don’t give a shyt about who is doing what shes just
happy to be in the Game,,,,

Yas Rita!!!
Too bad Lana Del Rey will win the one award Riherpesanna is nominated for.
It doesn’t matter honey, Rihanna already has two Brit awards for best international female 😉 -2010/2011!
I hope Rita wins everything
Rihanna says she don’t give a shyt, because they
are trying to say that 2013 belongs to Beyonce so
Perhaps Beyonce will win Everything,,,

Either way Rih says shes not staying up and loosing sleep over it.
So many snubs
Leona should have been up for British Female and Album Of The Year she’s far more deserving than Paloma Faith and Rita Ora.
P!nk should have been up for International Female rather than Cat Power.
Little Mix should be up for breakthrough act.
Tbh I just hope Beyonce performs her a medley and her new single at the BRITs and shows everyone how it’s done.
She wont shes not nominated why would she go? Next years one maybe.
To Promote her single and album, if she performs at the BRITs and then airs her Documentary the Sunday After The BRITs it’s a surefire #1 for her and single, it’s one of the most watched events in british TV
@AYNON And while u r pulling for Beyonce see if you
can get a message over to beyonce asking her if she would do something new and exciting like this,,,

You know something that will make her stand out for her and not any body else, IDEAS , thanks in advance.
@LAX just stfu you are the single most annoying person on this website

little mix FLOPPED.
flop
she will flop in the US
I think Rita’s cute, and I thought ORA was overall pretty good, even though I felt the material didn’t really suit her voice. I hope the US album has songs that are crafted around her vocals and are not rejected tracks by other singers.
Good for Rita ATLEAST she’s popular somewhere…
Congratulations to Rihanna Rita Lana & Calvin
No noms for Nicki tho?? Smh
This award show is just as irrelevant as Rita herself….Congrats on the flop award h**!
Its the biggest award show in the U.K. Try again
Who cares racist show
@RitaSlays Who cares? Who’s gonna ask an artists how many “Brit” Awards they have? Lol. Rihanna shouldn’t even show up, just donate that sh*t to the homeless or something.
@Enough “Who Cares” well obviously the Brits do since its the biggest award show there.
Its the UK equivalent to the Grammy’s.
Grammy ain’t that racist they salut musician
Ooooo The “UK” grammy’s…….
Not so sure she’ll win anything. We Brits love stars with personality we can relate to and I’m not so sure Miss Ora has done that for herself. As for claiming they are our Grammy equivalent it’s a shame, as the Grammys are so broad, whereas the Brits are about public opinion and so narrow. They even got rid of the Best Video award!!! Why? Great acts like MJ and the Spice Girls won that award.
Anyway, congrats to the noms.
Dont generalise Ritas doing well over here.
Half of the list is crap. The Usual
I keep on saying it. Grammys are far from perfect, but it´s the only thing we can rely on when it comes to awards with a bit of common sense and quality music (and I said a bit)
Who cares!….Bowie and Timberlake are back.
Some major snubs. These award shows dont rate Nicki at all.
She a flop h**
She s ninsted when will u?
Wellll all i know is this is “FLY CHICK”
http://www.rnbmusicblog.com/pics/RIHANNA-PHOTOS.jpg
AH Rated R Rihanna, when she had so much potential and her fashion was on point……gone now.
WTF WHAT HAPPEN TO CHRIS BROWN? Nicki Minaj?
Rita get nominated over Rebecca Ferguson? Really SMH
Emeli Sande >>> Adele
Adele is great too, but Emeli is better! Go Girl!
I agree.
im only here for Emeli Sande and Plan B tbh.
The BRIT awards have been shite ever since X factor ruined it.

I don´t really know. This year there is big competition. Great year for movies I think. The successful ones were also great movies for the most part, something that rarely happens lately
Only thing I can smell is the best supporting actress for Anne Hathaway
LOL whats wrong with Rihanna on instagram? She been uploading 32452345532 pictures in the wake of Beyonces GQ rofl.
INTERNATIONAL FEMALE SOLO ARTIST… Wish Taylor swift would win, but we all know Rihanna is gonna win.
Rita got a lot of noms, great for her I guess. Congrats to all the nominees but this list is just………not.
So what that grape juice is saying
is that people “work their whole lives to achieve”-a best newcomer nomination?
ha ha, yeah cause that make sense
By the way the Brits are probably one of, if not the, most political award competitions
in the world. Next to the B.E.T. Awards and the MOBO’s
If Rita is nominated that says a lot about the award show itself
I wanted to thank you for this very good read!! I certainly loved every little bit of it. I’ve got you saved as a favorite to check out new stuff you post…
