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'm so glad I'm not the only one. She is the most deeply irritating woman. All ego and no talent or clothes. And no, it's not jealousy - I do not feel that about any other gorgeous successful woman that was at the Met Gala last night.

Never heard that one

It's all very Josephine baker

MoroccoMole · 07/05/2024 14:47

What about the absolute atrocity her husband was wearing?

Or do we not shame men for their clothing choices?

Allfur · 07/05/2024 14:51

I guess he's not displaying body parts normally hidden

Quite a few people looked as if they were channelling Kanye West’s girlfriend.

Well I can, but I mean't which was the song she was most known for. Thanks though.

Everything nowadays is done for likes and clicks - it’s not about being stylish 🤷‍♀️ it’s about getting on the front page or whatever today’s alternative is (I’ve no idea!)

Allfur · 07/05/2024 14:56

The 'can't you Google' crowd are a tad snippy

Google can tell you that as well.

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

I always have the same question in these situations

what happens when they need a wee?

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.

Yeah, but if it bothers us we can look up things to do about it. You would appear to be stuffed!

Elderflower14 · 07/05/2024 14:59

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

Bululu · 07/05/2024 15:00

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

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.

margymary · 07/05/2024 15:00

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.

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

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

shes irritiating on masked singer aswell doesnt know anyone and sounds thick

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.

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!
