Rap-Up.com || Rita Ora Performs Acoustic Set for VEVO

Rita Ora stripped down for VEVO. As part of its LIFT campaign in the U.K., the Roc Nation singer performed an acoustic set including her Drake-penned single “R.I.P.” and new track “Roc the Life.”

“I’m always nervous to do an acoustic version of my song, and it does sound different,” said the 21-year-old Albanian. “It all works out, but it takes us a few rehearsals.”

She called “Roc the Life” one of her favorite tracks off her upcoming debut. “It’s about just taking control of your own life and rocking the hell out of it,” explained Rita, who performs the song during her live shows.

i’m not convinced…cute girl, decent voice but no real star quality/ it-factor. Think she’d be better suited to a girl group not as a solo-artist

@Ray, “Everybody else” is talking bullshit and making Rihanna comparisons. It’s getting old, really quickly.

Her team is really promoting this girl, arent they?

She can be big, it just will depend of her next singles.

And she is just 21, she has all the time in the world to be big, she doesnt need to do it all with her first album.

LOL at you insecure Rihanna clowns talking about star quality, that’s that same nonsense you Rihanna and Nicki Minaj use to conceal the fact they have no talent. The music business need more people like Rita Ora who can actually sing, not models and barbies.

@flawda, what rihanna clowns are u talking about because there are none on this post u pointless hater. I can’t speak on Nicki cuz i dont listen to her music But rihanna has talent; highly doubt she would win grammys,accolades, and sell out stadiums if she didn’t so keep your shade in that corner you reside.

when it comes to Rita, all she needs is to find her lane and stick to it because she can easily be molded into a Rihanna or Beyonce clone if she doesnt break free from her label pressures, Rihanna did it and now she’s one of the worlds biggest superstars

@MATT DOFAT, What the bloody hell are you talking about? This was Rita’s style before Rihanna went through her whole damn transformation. How about you watch some of her interviews before making blind, stupid assumptions.

Silly me I thought a singer was supposed to sound good while singing. Im hoping she stays boring like Adele, and keeps sounding good. Funny no complaints about voice then on some nonsense.

@Shots fired, Thank you. To many people think their frickin A&R these days. As long as the singer sounds good and has music that moves me I am not concerned about how fun personality is or how pretty they look in photos.

@China, couldnt have vocalized that better!These imbasils have no idea what a real vocalist is and this is why real vocalist and music with lyrical content has died away because people are purchasing the gimmicks. smh!
