Rita Ora - You & I

Robsolete · Feb 19, 2012

They root for anyone who isn't Rihanna.

yes she is attractive in just the right way and you could say the same about her voice

I really don't like Hot Right Now as much as I like the idea of Rita as a popstar. Does that make sense? I mean, I haven't even heard her solo stuff, but she's just really cool and she seems to be my cup of tea.

She completely overshadows "Hot Right Now", so I understand where you're coming from.

I feel the exact same, it is just so typically.....British or something.

Jay-Z just introduced Rita Ora to the USA on Z100 New York. He went on with Rita and they premiered her debut single. They premiered 'Party and Bullshit' which serves as her US single!

You can hear their interview here, annoyingly they've cut out the song though!!

Coming for Riri's weave! If anyone can fill the void that Rihanna has left after Birthday Cake-gate, it's Rita.

Read this on Sandra Rose earlier, apparently from an industry insider:

Oh and guess what I heard the other day….. Rihanna is nervous that Roc Nation was putting a lot of PRESS behind their new superstar in the making: Rita Ora. And Rihanna needed a gimmick to trample that, so that is why she did the Chris Brown song to shadow out Rita Ora’s debut.

Everyone at ROC Nation and inside the industry is gearing for Rita Ora to take off and be a bigger worldwide sensation then Rihanna. Rita is just as pretty, a better singer, and her style is edgy and daring like Rihanna. And Roc Nation has her under the radar and in [recording] studios from LA to Miami with some of the Entertainment music’s biggest producers out right now. And she’s working with Chris Brown as well. Rihanna was not at all happy when she heard this, I’m told. And plus Rita is dating Rob Kardashian. Their nickname when referring to each other is “Wally” or “Wolly”. And you know how media hungry the Kardashians are. So definitely look for Rita Ora to be taking over this year. Mark my words.

Not sure how believable that is though as Sandra's a bit of a RiRi hater from what I've heard? I don't really follow the site.

I would love for Rita to swoop in and take Rihanna's place in the pop star pantheon.

Noir · Feb 24, 2012

Rita is dating Rob Kardashian? Oh dear.

Sandra Rose isn't credible. However, I've heard that Rita and Rihanna don't get on.

It does. Isn't she managed by Crown? That could explain it.

I do like it a lot.

Absolutely horrible.

I really wish Ester's 'Gimme Money' was Rita's lead single. THAT is what she should be doing.

You basically want her to be a 2nd class Rihanna? NO, I think she has much more to offer. Esters single is horrible btw.

So Party and Bullshit is her debut single? Disappointing. It's basically a retread of Karmin's Crash Your Party, which is unsurprising considering The Runners produced both. I would think that if Hov wanted Rita to become Rihanna level he'd pick out something more distinguishing then this - although I do understand the need for a radio hit, 'Pon De Replay' was much more of a establishing song then I think this will be.
