RITA ORA- an example of all that is wrong with the world

I am being unreasonable, and not sure whether its jealousy or irritation that she has done so well with little discernible talent. However, she irritates me intensely for being presumably financially very successful for not wearing any clothes. MET Gala case in point. She is just such a narcissist. I know there are others out there, but she doesnt even have a crap reality show with her sisters

I get so tired of adult women being castigated for not being role models to young girls when that's not their job. Famous men act like shits and nobody cares what young boys might think. Female singer wears a revealing outfit at an event literally famous for crazy outfits and she's morally responsible For The Children.

The industry she's in is largely controlled by men - women may be singing and dancing but men are waving them through and making the business and marketing decisions. If you want to hold anyone responsible for the deleterious effect on young girls, blame them. All Rita did was sing a song and wear a dress.

Tired of it too..

My parents always told me when I was a child and teen that many celebrities are ADULTS so can do and wear things I can’t and I accepted that. The same parents moaning about role models are often the ones who want to ban things and want the world to completely cater for their children instead of taking personal responsibility as a parent to teach their children what is and isn’t acceptable for them to do of their age.

Most of those at the MET are in their late 20s and up. Why try to police what adults are wearing at an event that is pretty much an extravagant fancy dress party.

I call her Desperora 😀as she's always got some body part out, however, I don't find her entirely without talent, she has a nice tone to her voice.

You can Google it if you really want to know.

Ahem

Excuse you

Fashion crimes against humanity, is it?

My dress had ancient beads,
Older than anyone on this planet
including my husband and Anna Wintour

Cara DeLaVagine wore a chainmail hoodie

Eddie Redmayne nicked his wife's dress
You could see Emily Ratajkowski's tits
I was doing an Angie Jolie's legs thing
Plus the theme was Lady Garden Of Time
Did you not read the memo?

Love
Rita Kia Ora
aka Rita Waititi
(but Rita Waitita rhymes
and as does Rita Ryvita)

Mummyofbananas · 07/05/2024 15:08

She's very pretty and she's an ok presenter I'd say but her music is boring and bland- I think I can only name one song and I don't like it, I am surprised how famous she is for what she's done.

I don't have an issue with what she wears though- she has a lovely figure- I'd happily show mine off if I looked like that.

I wouldn’t call her out specifically but yes that outfit screams, “I need to stay relevant, google me.”
That sleazeball she married did make me think what the hell.
Majority in that industry are narcissists to me.

Yep, another Albanian who doesn't know her place...

Honestly, the hatred that successful refugees and immigrants get on Mumsnet is off the scale.

Show quote history

I didn't know she's Albanian (and it's probably the same for many other posters on here). I still think her outfit looks like a fly curtain.

Realdeal1 · 07/05/2024 15:05

I actually know people who know her and also Dua Lipa personally through work. Both apparently very pretty, both not able to sing!

GasPanic · 07/05/2024 15:04

Well she sings. She's not bad at it either. She has some talent.

I think it is pretty harsh to claim she is successful for not wearing any clothes, implying that is the only reason for her success.

There are people out there who genuinely are famous for not wearing any clothes and have little other discernible talent.

whynotwhatknot · 07/05/2024 15:02

im wit you op-i always thougt she was average anyway but then she had anillegal party in lockdown clearly didnt give a shit an showed who she was

TBF, I think You Can't Google would be more Lily Allen

You walk into a bar and say
"who do you think you are,
just some girl singing shit in a bar
and I say "you can't Google?

Cos my face is all over this place,
You're the loser not me in this race
Cos I'm already famous and rich
I'm already a superstar.
Then along comes some your missus
And she's pointing "who's this?"
And I'm like
What, you can't Google either?
And I laugh and walk out of your life.

I like that, but it doesn't rhyme Tesco with "al fresco".

Righto. Know none of her songs, would have taken you less time to just name it or don't you know one either?? Agree with pp - never met a real live Rita Ora fan IRL, and you just keep telling to me google. Weird response. Almost like you don't know any either.

Agree OP. Awful talentless people making loads of money. This is the norm rather than the exception in 2024.

Elderflower14 · 07/05/2024 14:59

Can't stand her. She broke lockdown rules.. Very very annoying on Masked Singer too!!!

Taurusenergy · 07/05/2024 14:57

I find her annoying. She's a pretty girl and I did like some of her music mainly with Calvin Harris but there's something about her doesn't seem right. We all have people that can do that tho I found Philip Schofield annoying as well and guess I was right on him lol.

Mitsky · 07/05/2024 14:57

She does not have a good reputation in the music industry that’s for sure.

therealcookiemonster · 07/05/2024 14:57
