She’s the globally recognised triple threat with a fan base that includes the likes of Beyonce, Madonna and President Obama.
We’re talking about Rita Ora of course, the Pop princess whose ideas have seen her become a formidable force in music, fashion and now television.
Unfortunately, the chart-topper may leave many of her fans dazed, distressed and confused this morning after she revealed that she hopes to remake the Crewe and Nolan classic ‘Lady Marmalade’….with Iggy Azalea and Miley Cyrus.
In an interview with The Sun Ora declared:
It’s always been my goal to create another ‘Lady Marmalade.’ I’m trying to round up the troops – I think it would be me, Miley Cyrus Charli XCX – she’d be fun – and Iggy Azalea
The world got its first taste of ‘Marmalade’ when it was recorded by the group Labelle in 1975. In 2001 it was revived by the artists Pink, Mya, Christina Aguilera and Lil Kim for Nicole Kidman‘s ‘Moulin Rouge’ and is said to have inspired the 2014 hit ‘Bang Bang’, recorded and released by Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj.
What do you think of Rita’s plans to revive the jam?
No thank you Rita!
……This hoë tried it. You can’t even get a hit. What makes you think this will be? Plus Iggy is done.
Iggy is done??? What does that make Melting Face Kim??? And where is that single you claimed it was getting released? Sometime this year? I forgot what date or should I say I didn’t care to keep it on my brain
Yes Iggy been done. The new single comes out the same day as Focus by Ariana. Iggy’s sophomore won’t sell half as much as Refloppified. Didn’t it sell like 9k?
BYE. FAIL. DATE LESS AND MAKE MORE MUSIC. DROP AN ALBUM THAT ACTUALLY CROSSES UK LINES. SHE IS SUCH A WASTE OF TALENT AND THAT REMAKE WOULD BE A WASTE OF TIME. AGAIN, GOODBYE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICES.
David is hilarious. The chart topping global force with a fan base that includes Beyonce and President Obama. Child cheese
LOOOOOOL biitch whet!? ???????? nah y’all b****** would ruin that song!! Go sit over there ????
B**** whet? KI
Hahahaha Patti and the Bluebelles made it nulber 1… i made it number 1 … will rita be capable of scoring a numbzr 1′?
No sorry it’s a disaster waiting to happen because first of all, it’s gonna be too white washed with all the singer’s she just named so of course she will receive a lot of backlash.
I’m down for a remake! Just one not involving any of those girls, especially ora. Her music is trash
Bytch leave shyt alone!!!!
No Rita…… Iggy already gave you your only top 10
.
I would listen/buy it tho…… All of you would do the same tho don’t act otherwise
Leave the song as it it wants no one wants her riddled vocals on the track give listeners the clap or summat. She needs to shoot this b**** down #BYEFELICIA
Let’s see Lady Marmalade equals too:
The Originators – Labelle = Greatness and Incredibity.
Lady Marmalade remake 2001-
Pink, Christina,Mya, Missy and Lil Kim = Great remake sassy and s***.
Another Lady Marmalade remake in the works for 2016 let’s see.(like we need another remake)-
Rita, Miley, and Iggy = Hell no, Hell no, Hell no, Instant flop.
A white girl version? Wow, how sad Rita.
UM? Pink and Xtina are white and they were the best singers on the original.
Christina is Hispanic honey.
HahahaHahaHaha… C’mon guys is she for real? If she is planning to create a new song with those girls okay but Lady Marmalade? Those girls cannot hit those notes, ang Iggy, thou I like her, imagine she Singing PA PA PUM GITCHI Ya Ya Ahaihqaauahse LOL
Sorry, but no one can top Christina Aguilera’s version of Lady Marmalade. Also the badass of P!nk
Rita.. pull up 3 seats for your good girlfriends and also 1 for yourself.
Oh hell no. Leave that classic the f*** alone. Smh what’s wrong with her and her choice of features ohhh hell no I can’t imagine won’t. Rita you really did tried it. Goes to play Patti original along with Christina, Pink, Kim, Missy, and Mya version.
This will be a disaster. Miley and iggy cant help her they can barely help themselves.
Chiiiile boom… No one is here for that. She must just want to stir up controversy because the people she named have no business on a Lady Marmalade remake…
The words Rita, Iggy, and Miley shouldn’t be uttered in the same sentence as “Lady Marmalade.”
This would be a travesty. People will read them from sea to shining sea.
???????????????? A Flop, a one hit wonder and a trailer park w****. Yeah…..no. I’ll stick to the Lil Kim, Christina, Pink and that other one version.
I want them 2 do it! I love 2 laugh.
OMG please let this mess happen! I’d laugh from dusk to dawn. Is she serious? First of all, you’re the only one out of that group who can sing. Secondly, how, out of all current female rappers are you gonna pick Eggy Eggz? And finally, as much as you can sing, you are NOT at a level where you can have the nerve to remake an iconic track. Sell an album or two, enlist Azealia Banks to rap and a couple chicks with actual vocal ability to sing with you and then we might, and I mean MIGHT, have a conversation about it. Until then, sit you’re one-local-hit-wonder ass down.
They better leave that classic alone! That song is not meant to be touched by women that can’t handle it. If they know what’s best for their careers, they better not even ATTEMPT to ruin it. That is all!
Lord Jesus just imagine if they did, Patti will give us the ultimate shade of the year upon hearing that s*** lol.
‘We’re talking about Rita Ora of course’ -TGJ
^Yh, in case that REACH through you off lol.:/ Seeing as she’s assembling a line up of the whitest girls in black music, she may as well get Raven Symone on the joint to finish it off. Maybe she just means a ladies night style collabo and not actually Lady Marmalade?
I say go for it… I swear this blog is filled with HATERS. Back in 2001 when the remake was released a lot of people turned their nose up at P!nk, Mya, and Lil Kim being featured. But after the success of the track, everyone’s career took off. So don’t give her too much …
Charli XCX is amazing, though.
She would rock it.
Charli XCX, Melanie Fiona, Nicki Minaj, and Angel Haze
The reason the 2001 version worked so well is because all 4 artist were so different and all 4 had some kind of success. These girls are flops, one hit wonders, attention wh*res and a feature artist.
This Rita Whora just keep trying. Girl jumping from one d**k to another & wants to remake a classic, when she’s a flop & a local UK whorish artist. I just can’t.
Absolutely not!! Just the idea of it is horrible enough.
