How you would place/rate Rita Ora?

[jonjon2000]

Hi,

I was wondering where would place Rita Ora, is she a musician, if so, could she be labelled as successful? She does not strike me as the sales machine, nor streaming machine, nor critics baby, and fan favourite? not sure if she has a sizeable fanbase.

Then she tried the acting department with 50 Shades of Grey franchise/Pokemon Detective Pikachu, but that didn't go far.

Then she did some hosting and TV gigs, and this is also not something that you would call her massive achievement. She has done her share as a judge in Masked Singer UK and The X factor and the Voice UK/Australia.

For fellow artists in her range (2 albums released) she seems to be stuck, and not really taking off much. Is it all related to some recording company drama? I remember she had some big issue between her first (2012) and second album (2018). 

What you think?

Low

Flash in the pan is how I would categorize her, she had one blip of popularity, but didn’t have what it takes to sustain it. 

[2K16NEY]

I would categorize her as that girl who sang on a popular Iggy Azalea song once  

[Jordan Miller]

She makes bops but I feel like her personal life started to outshine the music :/ 

[Adriannn]

I love songs like 'Radioactive' and 'Anywhere', but I guess she thinks too high of herself and she just follows trends instead of offering something more.

 

[Slayer]

I really like Rita's music and i feel like her music is very underrated!

Poison is my favourite song of hers 

[jordeezy river red]

Undeserving of all the promo she has received 

[aleomg]

I used to like some of her stuff, but she’s become a stuck up b!ttch. 

[Sea flower]

I think she had a big break but has had difficulties to mantain the same level. I know she had made a lot of collaborations, I cannot think of the last song she released alone.

She was “international popstar to be”. After some success in Europe with her debut album she made some bad decisions in her personal life + wrong manager + she wanted to do everything before being successful. The result of the equation is what she got now, but I personally like some songs from her and I think she still having some success in UK.

Anywhere is seriously one of the best pop songs of recent years and I’m not even a fan of hers. I noticed people hate on her a lot, I don’t know why and I don’t really care either. 

[ObsessedBritFan1]

I love her, I think we’re soulmates. 

[Look But Don't Touch]

Solid 10.

On a scale of billion 

[Haha-Hehe-Haha-Ho]

Did we ever figure out if she was Becky? I need to know the answer to provide a proper ranking

[Invitation]

I like some of her songs but I don't like her as a person.

[Prince Ali]

I mean Phoenix was kinda ok album,  but Anywhere is one of the best BOPs in several years..prove me wrong..

plus For You is also awesome!

[DignifiedLove]

Her song ‘Anywhere’ is such a masterpiece  And this is coming from someone who doesn’t really like or care for pop music post-2004.

[JSDSandiego]

Love her.
I listen to her new 'Bang' EP alllll the time.
Also "RIP"(With Tinie Tempa), "Anywhere" and "Ritual"... all jams.

I never met someone who didnt like her music after they really gave it a chance.

This is a jam too..

Flop and Irrelevant.
