Local.

After deciding not to launch her debut LP ‘Ora’ in the US in 2012, Rita Ora soon found herself tied to the world “local”, with some critics questioning her ability to impact markets outside of the UK.

Now, as commercial success evades the likes of Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez, Rita gives her detractors very little to work with her latest single ‘I Will Never Let You Down’, which is slowly but surely being welcomed by US audiences.

Why Camp Ora now have cause to ‘Party.

4 million views and counting.

As Pop’s reigning royal, Beyonce inspires many daily. Case in point, three talented dancers from Paris.

Trio Yanis Marshall, Arnaud and Mehdi have taken the net by storm with their choreographed tribute to King B – which has gone all the way viral in a mere matter of days.

Their show-stopping rehearsal video, which features them werking it to a medley of the singer’s hits ahead of their performance as contestants on Britain’s Got Talent, ironically has more than triple the views of the televised showing.

And with good reason.

Rocking high heels and sass aplenty, the divo’s delivered a showing that not only Beyonce would be proud of, but one many a Pop girl should study.
