Watch: Iggy Azalea & Rita Ora Perform ‘Black Widow’ On ‘Ellen’

The unstoppable Pop princesses that are Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora stopped by ‘Ellen‘s house today, treating the talk show host and her guests to a performance of their smash hit single ‘Black Widow.’

Packing the same live arrangement as their ‘MTV Video Music Awards’, their performance came equipped with a live orchestra and, rather unfortunately, another awful wig sported by the super talented Rita Ora, guilty of ageing her by about five or six years.

Watch the ladies at work (with said wig) below!

OK.

As awesome as its live arrangement was, we know we’re not the only ones who felt a little bored watching the above.

No, not because the ladies weren’t on point (because they were), but because thing took a turn for the ‘Choreography for Beginners’-worst before the second verse, seeing both ladies serve t.A.t.u-lite for an audience clearly unmoved by anything they were doing.

What might have worked better?

Iggy cat walking to the side of the stage like so, stalked by a slow shot that captures her entire body as she spits, “Till I’m everywhere that you be atI can’t fall back or quit“, and then rises to zoom into her face when she delivers “…Cause this here a fatal attraction so I take it all or I don’t want sh*t“, accompanied by a sinister wink and a ponytail whip.

Your thoughts?

    That performance was cute.

  3. NT September 9, 2014

    That was really cute. Good to see multiple female rapper getting shine.

    • Dem Lessors September 9, 2014

      I wouldn’t call Iggy a rapper. Her lyric aren’t smart or witty she’s just speaking a pop song. Sending Brit Army love xoxo

    Lord an audience full of people with no rhythm.

    I think it’s funny how much of their promotion centered around a ninja/Kill Bill thing and they aren’t able to translate that at all to performing – everything they do now looks like an ice skating theme from the costumes, blue lighting, fog machine, and ballerinas.

    2:14 tho…

    Also, Iggy needs to work on her breath control. For someone who’s style that is she seems to have trouble keepin up with her own flow and gets so breathless.

    This was actually cringeworthy. No shade the vmas performance was better.

  8. Dem Lessors September 9, 2014

    Loool, they served every shade of basic! Tragic.

    Wow! The way how Iggy’s team is branding and styling her 10/10. Unfortunately styling does add up the interest from fans for the artist. I see her doing well in the future.
    She is on her way to becoming the new female Ja Rule lol. Ja Rule always had new chicks singing in his songs. 🙂

      *One more female collab a way to becoming the next Ja Rule. 😉

  12. FAF September 9, 2014

    jesus. be a stylist. this doesn’t even look creative why do they keep dressing them the same way????

  13. UGH September 9, 2014

    OMG! I remember t.a.T.u… It was the biggest thing around when I was a tiny girl. Girls kissing girls in a Catholic outfit… #ClassicAttentionWhores

    Some people have it and some don’t…
    Iggy seems like a nice girl but she is not a performer. She has no stage presence… not a star.

    I just wish Tinashe & Jazmine SUllivan had her team and label. Imagine if they got this type of promo.

    • Rihboy September 9, 2014

      I agree!!! But only for jazmine. Tinashe seems like a jhene aiko to me. Good enough to make a hit, but without solid efforts.

  17. Navy Nick September 9, 2014

    I think it was cute

  18. Abdi September 9, 2014

    OMG!!! They blurred Rita Ora’s nip slip during the interview and no one told her, not even the dancers. What a shame!!!!

  19. There once was a pimp and his h**…. September 9, 2014

    This is not acceptable. I know art can be unconventional at times but this made zero sense. The whole performance was just an incoherent mess. Both Iggy and Rita looked awkward and lacked charisma. Both of them need to work on their stage presence because their little dance movements at certain points in the song looked forced and out of place. Their outfits made them look like drag queens instead of assassins/ninjas . The dancers added no value whatsoever to this performance. Lastly, the song ironically ruins itself. It builds up too much hype and than goes flat like road kill.
    #That is all
