1.3 million UK units sold.
3 #1 singles.
1 #1 album.
The above, all achieved within the space of a year. Only right then, that ROC belle Rita Ora is hailed as the UK’s fastest rising and most celebrated Pop debutante.
Of course, while herimage would be better served if it centred around her stunning voice and not her friendship with Cara Delivingne, the last few months have seen score wins some of her closest rivals didn’t score until years after their debut.
Now watch as she discusses her ascent with Rio Ferdinand’s #5 below. An interview, which sees her admit that her success came as a surprise to her.
Check it out after the jump…
As work continues on her second album, here’s hoping more effort is placed in endorsing Rita the musician and not Rita the celebrity. For, despite the critical acclaim she nabbed with ‘ORA‘, recent months have seen her develop a brand of celebrity that she- in keeping it really real- is far too talented to indulge in.
Fact of the matter is…. Rita has the talent and aesthetic to nab Rihanna’s notoriety while enjoying Gwen’s credibility -if armed with the right material and promo that puts emphasis on the talent showcased below…
Good for her!
Ugh! TGJ stan for this girl she’s Queen Cleopatra or something.
That’s because TGJ stan for talent.
They stan for anyone willing to do an interview..
What Success?? the b**** is no one outside the UK!
Btw them eyebrows look horrible
You don’t have to look like a movie star
Ooh I think you’re good just the way you are
Tell me if you could would you up and run away with me?
You don’t have to roll like a millionaire
Baby I would go with you anywhere
We don’t need no gold, we’ll be shining anyway, we’ll see
You know can nobody get down like us
We don’t … ’till we get enough
C’mon, turn it up ’till the speakers pop
Break it down, show me what you’ve got
Ooh my my baby don’t be shy
I see that spark flashing in your eye
My heart beats fast ’cause I want it all
So baby come with me and be my ooh la la
Take my hand, we can go all night
And spin me round just the way I like
It feels so good, I don’t wanna stop
So baby come with me and be my ooh la la
You don’t have to wear no designer clothes
Just as long as we’re dancing on the floor
Fingers in my hair and I’m letting go tonight, so free
These are the lyrics of Britney’s upcoming song Oh La La for The Smurfs 2.

Feel free to take your seat _/
You haven’t seen real success because your to busy trying to be the next b****.
I’ve never heard any of her music….
I couldn’t have said it better myself. Cara is using Reets for fame and I’m not here for it.
Like attracts like. If Cara is a fame w**** so is Rita.
F*** you. This is exactly what I’m saying, them hanging out together makes it seem like its for the cameras and the only one getting anything out of it is Cara.
Tbh I do have to agree with RL today because I see it too. This Cara girl spends more time in the clubs than on the cat walk and it looks so trashy. Rita’s music is s*** but her voice isn’t and she needs to drop the dead weight because so many people want to her flop already.
At the end of the day if Rita is too blind to see half of the people in her camp are using her she is a fool. There’s one new leech she’s been hanging around with, I don’t know his name but he’s black and begs it with any celebrity he can get his hands on. When I saw pictures of him and her in Las vegas I literally wanted to scream. She needs to wise up and focus on her music really.
@BrixtonMassive I know exactly who you mean, but only because all my friends laugh at him buying his Twitter followers. I can’t believe she hangs around with him.
The irony of an Alex stan talking about fame whores when most of her friends are the same.
I mean the only real success was f****** rob. Because its the only thing she’s known for. f****** a Kardashion like ray j. Nobody but the people on this website still even hear anything related to rayj ora. Why? cuz she’s a flop ass b****.
Her success was given to her she didn’t work to get there… What has she done to deserve to be on the cover of vouge
The same thing Mariah did to get her first deal.
the only difference is she could sing and sell s*** in America
Although i dont think so, even if you were right at least Mariah married the man. Also, when she cut him loose she got even more successful. The moment Rita leaves Jay its all over forever
Until she makes it in America she ain’t s***!
Then Rihanna was a flop till 2007 because nobody cared before then.
But Rihanna had platinum albums and #1 hits before 2007…. O_O
Don’t lie b****. MOTS didn’t even go Gold and we know AGLM didn’t either so Imma need you to SET DOWNE!
music of the sun sold 593,000 A girl like me sold 1,330,000 ritas debut album sold only 242,500. Not to mention all of the hit single she had back in 05 and 06.
B**** please Rihanna had her first hit with pon de replay her first album went GOLD… then in 2006 released her 2nd album she got her first number 1 single s.o.s & first platinum album… Rita has no certifications in the US
Rih had countless number ones and platinum albums before she blew up in 07.
S***, neither did I. Anyway …
Yes She’s Successful , As a LOCAL UK act.
Seriously , with this amount of promo she constantly get , I expected her “Ora” to be certified At least “2x Platinum” by now in the UK. 🙄
I CAN’T WITH HER OVERRATED ASS
ENJOY THIS TINY BIT OF SUCCESS GURL CAUSE FOR YOUR WACK ASS THIS IS AS HIGH AS IT GETS FOR YOU
pardon me, have i missed something?? which success? girl, your music sucks big time! i’ve heard more about her appearances on red carpets than about her music! you are a fame w**** not an artist! that’s different
Everyones so JEALOUS of the QUEEN & her SUCCESS especially R****** Navy
What exactly is she queen of and what success are u referring to? …I’m confused…
YAASSS at TGJ spilling the true tea. Tyty said the same thing about her last year, he said she makes friends too easily and is too trusting.
Stunning voice! Imma about itred of this blog and its overhyping
If you’re signed to Roc, they stan for you by default.
Who’s Rita Ora? Next. Cu’mon can’t even reach kesha’s success
Excuse me….who?
her album isn’t even UK platinum (300k) which is horrible considering she is one of the most overexposed popstars of the past year.
Good for her and good luck to her. All the best honey.
**Plays Rita Ora – Hello, Hi, Goodbye**
Blotchybey, I mean bitcjybey. Your an idiot get your facts straight on Rihanna. Quit your hater lying. Quit being jelli Rihanna is super successful. Your pathetic 🙂
Success???? The only time i hear about this Slore is on TGJ i’m confused…how so?
It’s a good thing she didn’t expect success.
Why would she? She’s a flop..
Since when did obvious payola become something to boost about and call success? Rita please go somewhere with that bullish*t.
just another ho who spread her legs or bent over to get famous. I pity the real talented people who can’t get discovered for their “real” talent today.
