Watch: Rita Ora Covers Beyonce’s ‘Drunk in Love’

Published: Monday 26th May 2014 by David

Beyonce‘s ‘Drunk in Love‘ found a new friend in Rita Ora yesterday, when the singer/actress performed the number during her set at the BBC’s ‘Radio 1’s Big Weekend.’

Though nowhere near as impressive as Ed Sheeran‘s take on the song, Ora‘s cover did go a long way to flaunt her live prowess, belting the number with ease and seasoning it with a number of original runs that saw her honour and not mimic it.

Check it out below!

        Because I posted Mariah’s iTunes position twice and the held it and then I posted a third time and they accepted it and then deleted it. They are so salty when it comes to queen Mariah. Mad because Mariah is superior to that basic h** they live to worship. F*** them Boyonce is trash! #TeamMariah

    • Jill May 30, 2014

      Rihanna can’t really sing though. Rita can. Just saying.

    why are korean,arabic,indian and japanesse guys be so hottttt..it be too hard to not stare

  13. Born Sinner May 26, 2014

    Whora is what you call major FLOP…I’m sorry,I just don’t see it happening in the US for her..There is too much competition and album sales are down…She wont have a leg to stand on when Adele & other singers release their music..Miley struggled and even gaga so Rita Whora music career will end..Maybe she can sleep around to get on some reality show or play an extra for a flop movie.

  14. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) May 26, 2014

    Global iTunes artist ranking:

    • Molly May 26, 2014

      Slay mimi!

      • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) May 26, 2014

        Do you see that child trying to talk smack in the reply section with its cringe-worthy spelling and punctuation? Please handle it Molly. I don’t want these ratchet bottoms getting me angry this morning.

      • Molly May 26, 2014

        Sis please that thing has mental issues i just ignore it lol #PoorThing One more day until Mariahs album drops! Are you excited?

      • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) May 26, 2014

        I’m definitely excited. The Australian lambs went crazy since they got the album first (May 23rd). I heard the album is doing really well there though. I hope this becomes her 7th US album and ties with that h** Madonna for totals. #QueenM

      • Molly May 26, 2014

        That’s good i hope the album does well in general has some amazing songs on it.

    • Shade Free May 26, 2014

    • Little Monsters Brazil!!! May 26, 2014

      Let’s wait and see if Me I Am Done/Extinct Flopteuse will even sell 1 million, let alone 3.6 million like Beyonce on MusiCharts. Mooriah might even pull a You’re Irrelevant (Eternal) and drop off the whole top 1000 in days. CAN’T WAIT!!

  15. rihanna RUNS THE GAME May 26, 2014

    AW poor her, still struggling hard 6 years after being signed. Rih got signed in 2004 : a year later she was platinum. All these movies and endorsement deals anoint doing jack s***, seen the sunday times UK richest singers and SHE FAILED TO MAKE THE CUT. Emelie Sande came out after year and she made the cut with 8 millGBP.

    HER NEW SINGLE was only number 1 for one crappy week; was displayed by no name dance acts. HA. Even with all the promotions ( they had the song playing on rimmel tv commercial) THE USA? 5 weeks on and she still has not charted on BBHOT 100.

    SHE SAID new album is finished ( recorded since late 2012 ) coming this september, but that was before her song flopped in the USA, so now she going back to LA TO ” record more tracks” This means THEY GONNA, one again push the album BACK and record with every producer till she can get a hit.

    SHE IS GETTING DROPPED. IT IS OVER FOR HER. LOL LOL HA

    • Tyler May 30, 2014

      It doesn’t matter how much rihanna sells compared to Rita. Rihanna will never even have 1/2 of Rita’s talent & you know it. That’s why you rihtards are coming hard at Rita. It kills you that she’s just as beautiful AND can sing. Rihanna could never!

  16. rihanna RUNS THE GAME May 26, 2014

    I HAVE NEVER seen anyone struggle this much to make it in the USA, despite being touted the super talented and heavily promoted.Also being blonde. HAVE u ever seen a blonde fall this badly?

    It is not in her destiny. Some things, Like rih fenty are the will of god. WITH RITA, karma just won’t let it be.

  17. Shade Free May 26, 2014

    The albino looking b**** has all the right elements to be a star no tea no shade , they need to get her catalogue together because her songs as well as that struggle throat is cringe worthy. It’s to damn early to be this terrified *clutches pearls*

    • Born Sinner May 26, 2014

      I aways thought that Rita looked like an albino. Lmao, no wonder she gets those pîss yellow tans because she’s so pale

      • Shade Free May 26, 2014

        Bahahahahahahaha YAAAAAAAAAAAS B**** READ!!!!

  18. did you say bieber,one direction,gaga,j.cole,miley,rita ora YMCMB austin mahone,or bey(my faves are in my name…drag stan) proud muslim May 26, 2014

    Molly is a smack ass b**** who thinks it is funny..mental w****..can i get amandabynes2.0

  19. rihanna RUNS THE GAME May 26, 2014

    It must suck to work so intensely hard to a point that you have been rushed to hospital and have nothing to show for 10 years later.

    She has been trying to be a star since she was 14.

    She has not money – the sunday times rich list proves

    She has not topped the charts worllwide

    Her album did not sell millions

    she is nobody and wannabe

    JUST 10 YEAR WASTE

  20. Born Sinner May 26, 2014

    Bridget kelly was supposed to come out first and her album was pushed back more than once. Her budget money was spent on Rita Whora. Rita Whora ended up burning through the money and poor Bridget kelly was dropped.

    Rita whora will be dropped next. Roc Nation just signed 3-4 new white girls and 1 of them is a rita whora look alike. Roc Nation never promoted Bridget kelly or alexis jordan. Their budget money was spent on promoting rita whora. If J. Cole was given the promo Rita Whora got he would’ve been big.

    • Shade Free May 26, 2014

      Chile honestly even if she does get dropped she’s a gorgeous girl and if can’t stand the albino! she’s doing pretty well commercially. Chile you make more money off of endorsements than you do albums no tea no shade

    • rihanna RUNS THE GAME May 26, 2014

      YES, she was dropped, as was K joke. AND the sad thing for BK, is she is not really under 30, so for her, time was not on her side. I mean, she looks good and age should not be a factor, but JAY wasted her best years with THIS DIRTY THOT who could not deliver.

  26. metzo May 26, 2014

    With all that hype, I’ll GAG if Mariahs new album don’t do Beyonces first week numbers, or even half. You’re rejoicing over Mariah being #14 and Bey being #20, when Bey was #1 WorlWide when hee album dropped. Mariahs standards have become very low, since you thong #14 is done Hong to brag about. Lmao

    Plus you call TGJ pressed, but you sound more pressed yourself Lolll
