She’s Pop’s brightest star, and now-in support of her #1 album ‘ORA‘, Rita Ora performed her new single ‘Shine Ya Light’ for ITV’s Lorraine today.
Taking to the show hours after performing on the ‘X Factor UK’, the singer delivered a smaller showing of the release, which will mark the fourth single to be released from the LP.
Get into her killer set below…
Rihanna Unapologetic, Nicki Minaj Roman Reloaded The Re Up, & Keyshia Cole Woman To Woman all drop on November 19th this has to be the most exciting release date ever!! 3black queens bout to slay the charts with there newest efforts b****** will be slayed #MyFavs >>>
Its going to be an interesting race to number 1 but I will put my money on Rih

But I definitely here for Rihanna and Nicki!!! these Caribbean sistah’s make me so proud.
Nicki Minaj will be number1 keysha will b on second position and R**** will debut at number 3
T-Boz & Chillie without Lefteye may she R.I.P

S*** Rita so irrelevant I got off subject lol
At least Rita sings live
I loVE BRANDY’S new video
Thank goodness Rita is back In the uk.Her Album leaped from 200 and someting to 20 on itunes,she has 3 singles in the top 100 on itunes.Am so happy right now.Get that promo girl!
How many of her single are multiplatinum? Rita makes Kat Deluna look like a super star
Itunes makes up a smalll percent on the Actual chart.
Album sales in the UK are very low. Being top 10 in the UK can be done with only 6000 copies – this includes all charts, not just itunes. Same goes for singles. Unless she is doing a Lana del ray gold in one day, or a WFL number 2 for three whole months. I would not have a party.
As much as @RihannaBlackMadonna sounds racist at times towards black females, lets not down play her valid points. We all know that 1) If Rita was black she would not have gotten a Billion worth of promotion 2) We all know that if she was black the label would have put her aside by now 3) We all know that if she was black she wouldn’t have been signed by Roc Nation to begin with. Willow Smith had a bigger hit than Rita where is she now? Alexis Jordan is more talented than Rita, where is she now? @RihannaBlackMadonna is not the only person who is brainwashed to think that only whites can make it now in the music scene, Jay Z is brain washed too. Black girls are vanishing from the industry by numbers.
Jay Z/ Jay Brown thought that just because Rita is white the mainstream was going to eat her up. They used to be an article everyday about Rita on Billboard website. They thought she was going to duplicate the success of Katy, Rihanna, Kesha and especially Lady Gaga thats why they gave her this push. Unfortunately the urban market that is made mostly of black are sick and tired of watching talented black girls getting burried alive in this industry in favor of average talents like Rita Ora. I am impressed by how the public has responded towards this girl, it shows that we as the public are not as gullible and color struck as Roc thought we were.
The people on this site that I know majority are black, need to ask themselves what makes Rita better than Ciara, Kelly Rowland, Brandy, Teairra Marie, Amerie, Solange, Alexis Jordan, Bridget Kelly and so on. When you figure that out please come back to me
What a good week for Rita!first she stole the show at Mobo,walked away with best newcomer award,met her Idol Gwen and is enjoying a sales boost for her album!What more can I say Rita is killing it in the Uk right now!
Sales boost from 1100 to probably 3000 is nothing to boost about. Remember her album has been out for 2 months and already it was out of itunes. Is she not suppose to be a big star in the UK? She won a MOBO afterall
THere is nothing wrong with just being a local act. Cheryl cole is a local act and she is happy. not everyone can be a global powerhouse like Rih. Rita tried all this performances in the USA – she just done David letterman and RIP failed to enter the USA itunes chart. Not every singer can a mega global super star. Every country needs a local act, and Rita should accept she will only be LOCAL.
Now on to Rita, love the shades and hope that she learns to speak up to her handlers maybe she will have a hit because whoever is choosing these songs for her does not have her best interest at heart.
It is now more evident that Roc is not going to drop this girl but will keep her on a tight contract in the UK. Roc has to recoup the money they spent on this girl and seeing that Roc has no successful artist, it is better to keep her churning out music, in the UK at least and have her make the money they spent on her back. I kind of feel sorry for this girl, Beyonce deceived her by making her talk s*** about Rihanna, Beyonce deceived her by letting her think she is bigger than she actually is. Beyonce sunk her into a hole by throwing all of Roc’s money at her, now that money has to be recouped. This girl is in a big hole, she owes the label so much money that they practically own her now. She won’t see a royalty check probably until album #5 if she’ll reach that far. This will make Toni Braxton look like she was the richest artist on ARISTA.
She will lose her USA deal though. I lelieve Samantha mumba ( who was rihanna 2005 ) before Rih got signed and much bigger in the USA than Rita Ora, ended up loosing her USA deal, then her UK deal, and now, sadly she cannot get signed anymore. Shame. Samantha mumba was really cute.
Welcome to the evil, sinister world of the music industry. No one is your friend, nor do they give a f*** about you. Rita will learn the hard way.
@BeyonceWeave I agree with you, now they know that there is nothing they can do to make Rita happen. So they are trying to recoup their money from her and unfortunately is going to take a while before they can get all their money back. They chose the wrong girl and I believe Alexis or even Bridget would have faired better with this promo.
Rita debut in the German album chart at number……………. 63 even though she went to germany twice to promote her s***.
No, Alexis would have been a star with this promo. Maybe not Rihanna, but Ashanti circa 2002. Alexis is younger 20 and cuter – her voice is solid – the best on that label, as she can bounce from pop to gospel. Alexis already had a few cute hits in Europe with happiness and some other dance song. If they had chose to f*** with her and give her the Rita promo / fashion etc Alexis would have a platinum album and a slew of hits right now. Alexis could of had it all by now. Pop and RNB etc. What a waste.
I personaly don’t give a phuck about race!as long as I enjoy a particular artist music I don’t care if she is black or white.Am sick of black people using race as an excuse when its suits them!every time on tgj hive and navy are at each others throats!why can’t there be mutiple black women slaying in the industry.Why must Rhianna replace beyonce?can’t they coexist together!
That beign said I love Rita ora I don’t give a phuck if she is black or white.
Don’t be naive. Race plays a factor in the music industry. Ask all the black talent in 50’s who were left broke, while Elvis and co took over. You may not think about race, but if white man sees you, he can use race on you, whether you like it or not. Hence why even RICH black men get stopped by the PO PO.
Still in denial about race now. Good! I tell the LAPD.
I do not think it is racist that Taylor Swift slays, but Rita Ora being hyped over all black talent that has ever crossed roc nation is racism. ROC do not sign dark skin girls. Is that not racist?
Her not being dropped after flopping worse than Tieraa Marie, is racism. That is why many are angry at her and team. Tieraa Marie deserves what Rita is getting. Tieraa was punished for being a black girl, and Rita is rewarded for being a white blonde. I do not give a damm who does not wanna deal with the fact. i STAND BY my statement.
F*** yo feelings
Are you from the UK? You cannot be America – American blacks do not hide from race. In fact, America tackles / talks about race head on.
In the UK, they brush race under the carpet, and have black Brits bamboozeled thinking race does not exist , on some kumbaya BS.
There is a reason why we have the NAACP.
LOL LOL Misha B is outselling Rita Ora on itunes. Misha has been snubbed for the second time by the media – banned from TV chat shows, fashion magazines and even her own show Xfactor, for the likes of Rita Ora……yet, she is outselling her, today.
Well, well, well…….
The person pulling the strings is Beyonce, we all know Jay Z doesn’t play around when it comes to money, this is the only explanation that makes sense. Beyonce’s camp even started printing false stories about Rihanna calling Beyonce to complain about Chris Brown when we all know that can never happen. The same Beyonce who hides from Rihanna at her hubby’s events would pick up the phone for Rihanna? I don’t buy it.
Can you imagine how big Kelly, Ciara, Teaira Marie, Amerie etc would be if they were given this promo. Imagine if Misha B was given this promo, she would fly. The more promo Rita gets the more people get angry for her undeserved attention. The funny thing she thought she was going to be a big star, telling journalists not to compare her to Alexis Jordan.
Jay z had the nerve to say, that he dropped Tierra Marie because she was given the tools but flopped. What f****** tools was Tierra marie given? I never saw her on letterman or Jimmy kimmell/ This flop h** has been given all the tools in the PR playbook and flopped even harder.
I guess, but Misha has been doing a lot more one eye showing and upside down legging cross wearing.
Rita isn’t a bad artist but the problem is that all the hype and promo is trying to make it seem that she is better than she really is, and thats whats off putting. if the mediam and people stopped cooing and gasping over her every move than people could maybe appriciate the talent she has on the level she has it.
i guess basing her styling on someone else didn’t help.
Does she really need to turn up on all these TV shows 4 singles deep with an album out, to promote her s*** / story again? Who wants to see the same singer, telling same JAY Z story ever 2 months she has yet another single. I guess when drops Radioactive, she will BACK on all the show, talking about Jay Z etc etc . Yawn
The titanic is sinking, and there is no going back.
“She’s pops brightest star” LMFAOOOO! Let’s be real! This chick …ok first off I don’t buy this whole “white” thing.I think Jay Z is pulling a Tommy Mottola where they tried to keep Mariah racially ambiguous so she could sell in all markets.To bad this wont work.The girl lacks “it” she’s like a reality show contestant.she’d probably win star search but after the show who’s checking for her? Beyoncé lights up a stage, Rihanna keeps people talking and while the vocals are iffy she records interesting songs, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry they all have a draw.Rita is BASIC.like someone posted on here before she’s basically a non dancing Beyoncé singing Rihanna with Gwen Stefani tease.stop it with this girl.I’m always looking for “who’s next?” And she’s NOT IT.Jay-z and the people at ROC if they were SMART they’d gather real talent and innovation. Someone like a Janelle Monae or Lana Del Rey..I hear she’s hailed over in the u.k. and you guys can HAVE HER.
Jay Z will never f*** with Janelle Monae. She is black, duh!
There are so many pretty girls with better voices in the states that got snubbed for Rita. When she was introduced to the public she was introduced as the next Whitney Houston in lavish parties thrown by Columbia.
Some, at that party were calling her the new beyonce.
Oh so now you all know album sales in U k is shity cos Rita is 20?weren’t the haters always shading her when she was down to 200?secondly for those calling misha B,How many no 1 singles does she have in the uk?
No, UK album sales have been poor for years But special talent like Lana and Emeli can do over 100 in a week. No one else has this year. Misha B could be huge. She does not have the right skin tone or race, hence why she is blocked, mocked and ignored. That shows how much of a flop rita is, if she was out the 200, while sales were low.
But look at Emeli Sande – top 5 for like 3 months even though she has sold nearly a million LP – Sande has not left the top 10 EVER.
HA HA HA
I love Emeli Sande, I wonder why Samantha hates her.
How comes Emelie Sande owns Rita Ora’s ass, even though she has had more number 1 singles than Emeli? How comes Our version of events is 2 x platinum and the fastest FEMALEselling album since susan boyle . This is Emeli’s debut. She how her debut murder Rita, even though Rita has more number 1 singles? HA HA HA
OVER 600 k and over 100k in her 1st week. Who the f*** is Riat Ora in the UK?
Oh, and Emeli barley needs any promo. She can sell on the basis of her name. Bit like Rihanna.
SHE NEEDS BETTER SONGS
IN OTHER NEWS PRESSED NICKI STANS GOT DRAGGED AT: thewigsnatcher.b*******.com/
She has worked with the biggest producers and writers. A producer is only as good as the talent. How we do was produced by the fly ass, the runners, but it tanked. How we do was written by the the girls who write for katy and kesha.
Like I said, it is the talent who causes the flops, not the singer or songwriter.
YES BUT HER SONGS SOUND LIKE REJECTS WHICH DO NOT SOUND LIKE HER AT ALL
JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE BIG PRODUCERS DO NOT MEAN THEY WILL GIVE THEIR BEST PRODUCTIONS. SHE IS NEW SO OBVIOUSLY THEY WOULD GIVE BETTER SONGS TO ESTABLISHED SINGERS.
Kesha was new, and Dr luke and the girls who wrote How we do, for Rita, gave her Tik Tok. Like I have said……it is the artist you work with. Every artist start of as new, how comes some blow up? Rih blew up on her demo – pon de replay was a demo.
You can put Rita in the studio with all these big names , but she has nothing to give. That is why her s*** sounds like rejected s***. She was rejected by EVERY MAJOR LABEL in the UK, only this insecure woman’s husband signed her, with the sole purpose of taking out the girl, she blames for ending her career dominance.
Funny how the daily updates on the chart position of Ora has ceased people have remembered that itunes don’t matter when it comes to album sales.Bottom line is haters gonna hate!even if Rita sells 1 million records haters would still have someting negative to say
Funny how you can’r answer anyone question. Rita Ora is a flop and Rihanna is a mega star who can go number 1 all over the glop and top 5 in the USA on her name alone.
What about Rih TTT and loud still on uk itunes after more than a year? Rih having all her singles ( the ones who have already solp platinum on the charts, a year on. With no promo etc>?
Riddle me that?
There is no power in her name. She can only sell in the UK, when she is on the campaign trail being shoved down our necks. She cannot just put single out. For her 4 th single she has done xfactor, daybreak, vevo lift showcase, UK vogue, Glamour magazine, hot dest with dave berry ( tv show ) and there is more coming this week. The only way she can sell. There is no power in her name. Out of sight, out of mind. Sooner, rather than later, she will run out of TV shows, radio shows, and magazines to appear on and she will just sell on name and music. She can’t do. She is a flop who needs crutches to stand. Kick the crutches …..and you have kicked her.
There is so much power in my name – Rihanna.
She is back doing promo on radio 1. For the 5 time.
Peep how she dressed to Radio 1 A leather dress, with leather thigh high boots. Someone is trying to be rihanna badly. In fact, she is changing outfits several times in one day.
But even with that promo she is still not selling
If Rita Ora is the hot shot in the UK, 3 number 1 singles and number 1 LP. How comes she needs to promote her 4 single? I though she was A list in the UK? Like Rih?
Can you believe she is having a headlining tour in the states and asked artists (Iggy and Havanna) who are more relevent than her to open for her tour. Havana has a hit but Universal ( The biggest label in the world) is not promoting her like this flop and she does not have a tour. Can you imagine the losses they going to make on this tour because they have to pay Iggy and Havana. Nobody is going to buy $10 ticket if they did not buy $1.29 single. LMAO @ROCNATION
You know what is funny. Havana Brown was the only act on that tour with a top 20 in the usa. How so amusing! Actually, the tour was selling for $45 and the eve had Kanye’s producer, Hitboy, begging on twitter for folks to check out this flop flop tour. Roc nation for sponsoring this tour that let to not hits on billboard. After all, they still canned the LP for 2102 . And when in 2013 does it come out?
* Breaking news * Vocal producer Kuk Harrell has just said on twitter, that he is so happy working on Rih’s new album. He said it is her best yet. He has worked on all of Rih’s LP’s GGGB, Loud etc.
Kuk Harrell is a vocal producer famous for working with Rih. Rita Ora copied, this year and flew from London to LA for only 48 hours to try and duplicate the magic, Kuk and Rih have. Ora ended being shleved in the USA and no single from ORA made the USA top 40.
Poor dat.
We are waiting for Robyn. Drop your s*** and we will ride for you!
Sony shelved the album because they know more about business than all the people at Roc combined. Sony will not distribute that album until she gets a hit, and she won’t get a hit before Ciara LMAO now you know she does not stand a chance. LA Reid would have dropped her by now.
You mean all the drug men at roc nation, cos that is what those n**** are. A bunch of drug men who lucked out on what LA reid did with Rih. She is the only reason why they got a label with sony. They used her name.
There so much power in my name – Rihanna.
LA reid would not have signed her. She had zero interest from other labels in the USA and was rejected by EVERY major label in the UK for sounding to much like jessie j and having an attitude.
Man, I miss Willow smith. She was the best act on this Flop nation.
I miss her too, she was more of a star than Rita
tired of talking to your self pathetic
Lol!!!!!! My exact thought.
Not long to go now…. Rih is about come back hard killer core and this old try hard h**, will be nothing but old news.
When rih drops her video, goes on Promo and gets back into GGGB AND LOUD mode – who the f*** will give a damm for this wrinkled dried up prune h**. Rih took a year off, and gave her 2012 to shine. She flopped. Rih even tried to help her, by letting her have 2012. what does she have to show? And dont claim the UK, cos Emelie and Lana del ray OWN THE UK.
Shine your light went top twenty on itunes based on the video alone with no promo.Rita has great potential she is slaying the uk with medicore songs imagine what she would do with better songs.I can’t recall Rhianna doing so great on her debut,apart from pon de replay which was a moderate hit can’t recall any other of her singles from her debut that smashed
well, we will see if it debuts at number 1 like what Rih did with NO VIDEO. And video is PROMO, you dumb f***. Let her sell with no video, like Rih.
Rih at 17 with no hype or promo / money using her demo sold 2.4 million singles and 1.5 million LP.
But, her album never got pushed back in the USA. Never. Rih at 17 is bigger than most acts of 2012. You tried and failed h**. Pon de replay was a smash hit going top 2 in over 20 countries including the UK. None of Rita 10 singles have bounced like outside the UK. Rih did it in an era where there was no facebook, twitter, youtube or itiunes, If all that was out in 2005 – she would have had every single slay, as she is a proven icon in the making, while your Rita Ora is a flop with a huge bill owed to Sony.
Pon de replay was number 2 in the USA and has sold a million in USA. That more that EVERY rita single combined. Where did RIP peak in the USA? It did not even chart.
Rihanna is black. Of couse magazines do not give new black talent shine. Compare Rita to a blonde girl like Britney spears who became legend of her 1st single.
HA HA HA HA now what, h**?
Rihanna at 17 ( even though she is black ) was bigger and better than Rita Ora. MOTS went gold in UK and USA – four months in the USA. ORA GOT CANNED. Not even coming out – they have to make a 3 rd LP.
MOTS was a demo. That Rih is a megastar and Rita will be dropped by the end of the year. Give or take. End of.
Like I said. Rih is black, so she faced racism in her career. The blonde white girls has no excuse to flop this bad.
This girl is trash.
HA HA HA will look at that! Sam is so envious of Rih, that he stuck his head up Rita ass, ignoring black talent in the process. He ignores emeli Sande because he is jealous that she destroyed Rita’s career in the UK.
Now he ignored half jamaican Liane La havas who has been endorsed by Prince and plays the guitar and writers HER WHOLE album. Well, Liane debut LP went in to the UK chart at 4 with not top 20 singled or any promo – just on word of mouth.
But check this out…..She is in New York to a promo of her debut LP, it is now number 15 on itunes – higher than any rita Ora song combined. Rita cannot even break out of top 80 in itunes, that is how wack she is.
Liane La Havas can have atop 20 USA album – with no promo, no singles, nothing but raw talent. Liane La Havas proves what a non mtherfucking factor, Rita Ora is.
Also, Jessie Ware, has debut LP went in at 5 in the UK, but she has not had a top 20 singles either. Jessie has not been to the USA – yet her usa tour in 3 months has sold out in 15 mims – and the venues are bigger than Rita’s tour. She will be release an LP in THE USA in JAN , on word of mouth.
Told ya Rita is non f****** factor.
Yo,
Everyone is the USA go cop that Liane La Havas debut critically acclaimed UK top 5 LP. She is Half Jamaican; a sista. She wrote her whole LP, plays the guitar and has a voice that they compare to Bille, Sade and Nina. Prince flew her to the USA for a personal meeting after hearing her amazing talent.
You want black talent on billboard? Cop that s*** now.
Is your love big is on Itunes USA NOW!
A black mixed jamaican girl like Liane LA Havas is outselling Rita Ora on RAW talent. The kind of raw talent that industry gimmick Rita lacks. Cher Lloyd, Ellie Goulding, Rebecca Ferguson ( who did ok in the USA ) Liane La havas and Emeli Sande : all these UK chicks have had the guts to release an LP in the USA in 2012 . One person from the UK is missing from the list/ Who could it be and why?
Told ya she is overrated non f****** factor.
Over exposure gone insane. This is a f****** joke. She has done xfactor, daybreak, capital fm, radio 1, ITV hot desk, Vevo lift…….So, she can’t sell on word of mouth ? Or name? Or her so called raw talent?
No wonder Emelie Sande has s*** all over her.
19th of November s on fire this I how it will go 1. Nicki Minaj 300k 2. Keisha cole 250k and 3. Rihanna unpol…. 170k
U WISH B****!!! RIHANNA WILL OUTSELL EVERYONE!!!!! SHE ALWAYS DOES INCLUDING UR FAV BEYFLOP!!!
She never outsold Bey STFU c***
great performance as usual
