I don’t understand this at all!
X Factor must really be desperate, because Rita Ora is not an established act. She is in no position to be judging others in this stage of her career – it’s ridiculous!
It’s funny how you can become as big as the person you are associated with (Jayz). I know for a fact that if she wasn’t signed to Rocnation, nobody would be checking for her, not even Thatgrapejuice lol
I can understand how people may be intrigued by her image, but her stage presence and vocals are average at best.
heh, b**** please! Did you really heard Rita Ora live? Her vocals are uncanny, she doesn’t need gimmicks or showing her v***** to sing. For me, that’s what I call a TRUE singer. Pretty rare these days…
Give it a brake Rita is only being a guest judge. Many people are upset that it was not given to Rihanna but who knows what Jay/Roc Nation did for this woman. She’s very talented. I’m happy for her.
You need to do your homework, dear. Rihanna has been offered both UK & US X factor permanent judging spots. She turned them down. Why? She is not a has-been or in need of career boost to need the gig. So no one actually needs to be pressed about this news. Shame.
Below post not meant for you. Soz.
Rihanna aint got the time….
That X Factor illuminati juice
Simon Cowell Freemason, Jay Z Freemason, Rihanna illuminati s** s****, Topshop Boss freemason
That Grape juice, illuminai sponsorship website Ha
It’s True
The ILLUMINATI is every where!
Does she have A CD out? How about a MIXTAPE? ANYTHING 0_o? Ppl whine and complain when I say it but THE CONTROLLED, FAKE MUSIC & MEDIA WILL BE THE DEATH OF GOOD MUSIC, PERFORMANCES etc. How can a newbie like this judge other newbies? This is just sad! 🙁
Rita does have some talent, but she need’s a label that will protect her, not Roc nation to exploit her like the did Rihanna. She need’s a manager that put’s people like Rita before his bank account.
Ooh rhitards are not gonna like this. Get ready for the kiis in this post lmao
i don’t think so ….. Rihanna “already” mentored some contestants in the past when she was with LA reid in the same show ” X factor” … so practically she’s ” been there , done that” !
nothing gonna make them pressed, and congrats to RITA , she’s getting mad support from Roc nation i see …. , but i want her to happen in US and the rest of the world not only UK. she has it all IMO.

I’m still tryna find out who is this Christina Milian clone b****?
She will never be anything in the states.
Can you say the “Kelly Rowland Effect” girl you don’t have to be helping some one establish their career when you are still building yours…Roc Nation, yall are a mess.
LMFAO @ that kelly rowland effect !! damn my stomach hurts !! ROTFL !!

Did you just ask me about Kelly Rowland’s “album” hubby?

Its just for 1 show for the auditions. The uk is loving Rita and she loves x factor so its a win win. Plus she has a concert with coldplay the next night in london, so what a week for Rita.
she LOVES “the voice” MORE ………………………………………..
well she is a better live singer than cheryl cole and tulisa and has more #1 singles than tulisa. i would much rather be told i cant sing from rita than cheryl cole.
So she has How We Do & RIP out and still isn’t making a splash here in the states??? Homegirl better release that album in the UK only! She’ll do worse than Ciara!
the peopz seem to like her. so… why not?!
Hahahahha RIhanna is so Over!!!
–
Rita is Taking Over!!!!!!!!!!! Girl now come out and guest judging while Rihanna stripping online to get Chris’s attention!!!!!!!!!!!
😆 😆 i cant
@oh yeah
Classic
Ok, I’ll bite. When Rita or crack head Chris can net 100 million dollars from a world wide tour, as Rihanna did last year then you can try and talk s***. At least Rita is humble enough to know she is starting out. In fact the Rihanna comparison angle that her PR took to get her name out there is the reason she is one of the most buzzed about new artists. You idiots don’t even know when you’ve been manipulated. Rih and Rita probs laugh about it together. You have these ridiculous stan wars. Pitching the two women against one another, yet the two women involved are cool with one another. LOL. Oh and Chris will NEVER match Rihanna’s fame, wealth or record sales. He’s a ghetto artist with ghetto fans. Dumb f*ck. You have officially been schooled. Peace.
Rita Rocks
I am not surprised,she is hungry and working alot lately
Haha choke on Chris brown d*** Rihanna navy *blows hot coffee* Rita is about to snatch some cheap wigs Rita don’t have to show her p**** on stage or have 8 different celebrities lick around the cilt.
According t othe Usual standards, she will flop hard in the U,s. She won’t replace Rihanna, remeber how Rihanna was “gunna replace Beyonce” It never works, She has no album, or single to hit the charts i nthe U.s, she has no release date, title or anything, what has she done, got her name out. Nobody here knows her, AT ALL!
LMAO people here in the US are getting tired of Rihanna. So when some chick like Rita comes along she will be known and become famous. Nobody is saying Rita is here to replace Rihanna but this woman will be more in the limelight than Rihanna very soon. Beyonce, the people has respect for her and she will never be out the limelight Even when Beyonce have on her stage clothes she still looks classy and I hope Rita would follow in her footstepts.
Again I’m not saying Rihanna is going to be replaced but I hope Rita follow in Beyonce footsteps and be respected for her talent not anything else.
@Benron re:10:42 am —
“..she won’t replace Rihanna (in the U.S.)”
Benron, “Rihanna”, at least in the U.S., has NOW been “replaced” by Nicki Minaj! And, as I’ve said, whenever Nicki Minaj starts to tour Europe, they’ll then quickly forget about your fave. You see, after some 7-years now on the scene, Rihanna has become worn, tired, stale, even rancid.
What had Rihanna’s ‘Battleship’ done overseas against any reasonable competition? Mediocre Box Office returns, that’s what!
If you want to see where Rihanna’s career is NOW heading, then look no further than where ‘Battleship’ has been, and most importantly, where it’s heading: to the hull-crushing, fathomless depths for a final resting place.
The parallels that can be drawn between Rihanna/Brand-Rihanna and ‘Battleship’ are frighteningly real:
1.) Both were given serious hype – ‘Battleship’ was marketed for, according to deadlinedotcom, $150-Million; Rihanna has enjoyed the luxury of Millions lavished upon her CDs/Brand, by Def Jam, to promote them to a now “Rihanna weary” marketplace.
2.) Both have now seriously disappointed by returning FAR-FAR below expectations.
Long-story short: What ‘Avengers’ and ‘MIB-3’ is to ‘Battleship’, is exactly what Nicki Minaj, and Rita Ora means to Rihanna/Brand Rihanna.
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT..!!
Rita Boraing
Wow! Just.. wow! Poor, poor Kelly Rowland!
I really don’t know too much ’bout this Rita Ora person; just saw her on this blog; also heard her sing/being interviewed on TGJ – I’ll tell you one thing, though, RITA ORA CAN SING FAR-BETTER THAN THE ALMOST-40-SOMETHING-YEAR-OLD KELLY ROWLAND, AND CERTAINLY BETTER THAN RIHANNA!
Most certainly, Rita Ora has talent! Those two #1 singles can only bolster her case. Let’s now see if she can use that X-Factor U.K. platform as leverage to THEN take her to higher ground. In the case of “Kelly Rowland”, even with ALL the hype, and that #1 single,”Motivation”, she couldn’t capitalize with X-Factor: then given weekly-access to 12-Million willing-and-able U.K./European discretionary-spending consumers, but only then moving that pathetic ‘less-than 150-K’ “Here I am” units to said 12-Million strong market! Maybe we should’ve seen the writing on the wall: ‘Motivation’ took a stubborn 4-LOOOOONG months to reach platinum.
But Kelly Rowland is THANKFULLY now, a distant and painful memory..
In any case, we now sit, as our eyes are now fixed with a “curious” observation..
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT..!!
Look at my comment below, Nobody is checking for Nikci but here, she cannot SING!
Why would RiRI wanna be a judge? She aint got the time cuz she makin moves…let Rita be a judge all she wants .. Ri gettin ready for a fashion show, recording another album and preparing another world tour next year… Chile plz
Since when is Battleship her movie, thats like saying the star of the titanic was the old woman, small roles are small roles. Just because Nicki Minaj can open a theatre does mean her fans can start to get wet in their panties, Nicki is a confused Pop singer and is not in Rihanna’s lane, nobody is checking for her because hse is to busy coming at lil kim, her rapping is pitful (see “Starships”) Nicki Hasn’t even replaced Kim yet, never Rihanna.
Nicki Minaj and Beyonce would be best freinds though, the awful lacefronts, skin retouching to make themselves lighter and nose jobs show why RIHANNA represents the black comunity!
Please, stop making excuses! I’m tired of it. Since Battleshit flopped, rihtards have making up the stupidest excuses to say Rihanna isn’t part of this failure. Let me tell you something, she is! She was relevant enough on the movie for them make posters of her, put her on its trailers, make her go on several premieres around the world and do interviews, etc.
“the star of the titanic was the old woman, small roles are small roles.”
I don’t recall seeing this elderly woman on any poster of Titanic. YOU F-A-I-L. But I do I remember pretty well when you, rihtards, heard that the budget of Battlecheap was $200+ million, you were all feeling your booginas thinking it would be the blockbuster of the year. I remember pretty well reading things like “She’s the star of a massive film”. Well, YOU WERE WRONG… AGAIN! That’s what happens when you’re a basic b****: you get easily impressed by any big number.
She’s the face of an epic disaster! DEAL.
“show why RIHANNA represents the black comunity!”
Did you mean the black cheap h*** community? I think so. Rihanna barely represents a singer let alone a community. Oh, speaking of it, no one respects her, only her stans do (all them 6).
P.S. What’s your excuse for Talk That Flop’s flop? Isn’t she the star of her album as well? I can’t.
Bye, basic b****.
LOL tak that “flop” outsold 4 worldwide LAST week the Beyonce stans can continue to come at her, and say she is unseucsessful, but she aint cheap, thats why she was higher on the forbes list. The only Reason Beyonce stans can’t syand Rihanna is because they think there can only be one sucsessful black female, thats why the dumbass told me Minaj replaced Rihanna just because she got one hit song of her album, WFL slayed everything Beyonce, Lady Gaga, kATY PERRY AND nICKI mINAJ put on the radio, the end! Remember when Beyonce lost out all the awards to her co-star, yah, I guess her fans should be talking about flop while her mexican child stays at home wondering where his real parents are!
Agree w/@gilberto… 100%.. Bullseye!!!
b1tch needs to have a career first! because i know, she ain’t gon have one with those pop trash songs of hers
Lmao at the goats,your fave movie flopped.Get over it ..she was everywhere promoting the s***,she had her name all over blogs,sites and billboards with the titanic in the back.Just admit that Nicole scherzinger movie did better,she is s***.
Dont make me laugh with the “has-been” comments because of rita judging the X-factor for one day.Lmao Gaga did it.Just admit that Rita has the same promo-push than somebody on Gaga’s level.She was in France,no f***** album out.
Just admit that Rita is winnin*nicki’s voice* 😆 😆
X,Y,Z is right,Nicki is already shat on her whole life.Sold 2 millions in the US with a top3 song lol
Some of yall act like Rihanna on some basic b**** level or something… shes one of the Biggest Pop Stars in the WORLD whether u like her or not .. ..
Even her “flop” albums sell more WW than a majority of these other girls or guys!
Stop it
I think it’s a good choice:) Dont want geri halliwell
