"Rita Ora, you are absolutely smashing it!" "Thank you so much, did you see it?"
"Yeah!" "Oh, good, wicked" "You owned it!" "It felt so nice being on that stage
Wembley's awesome. Every time I've done Capital - now three times
and literally every single time the crowd is just literally so supportive
every act
and even international acts are like "oh my God, the crowd is so amazing so
you know it's our hometown, they just done us proud, innit?"
"I heard Poison out there!" "Oh yes I know, it's only the second time
I've performed it" "How's it feel when he got a new song, it is nervous
nerve wracking hearing the reaction?"
"Of course it's nerve wracking it's like your new baby, putting it out in the world but the
thing is you just gotta go for it
and that's what I did with 'Hot Right Now' and 'Party and BS' and 'RIP'
and everything I've done I just went with my gut, so
that song just felt right for me at this moment , so 'Poison',
it's nice to perform it live finally"
"Poison is a negative word" "It is? Not in my category!
It's like poisonous, you gotta be powerful to
have the
venom, you know what I mean? It's about being poisonous but still making your mark you have to
some form of
power field to poison somebody, don't think?" "So you're feeling quite empowered?"
"Yeah, I feel like it's time and I mean I've never felt more supported
by not only my female friends and my family but also I think that's important for,
especially us in this industry as females to stick together, so it's more
and like shout out for anything that's happening in your love life
for it not to affect you, it's okay to be like you know sometimes it's poisonous
and move on" "Yeah. And you have?" "I mean, yeah, exactly!"
"Amen sista!" "Amen!" "Talking about women sticking together, yes we'll talk about Taylor's
'Bad Blood' because you were doing
the same thing with the Queen" "I know, she's the Queen"
I mean, there's only one queen! Well, actually
for me there's two, there's Beyonce and there's Madonna"
"And Elizabeth!There's three queens, isn't there?" "Yes, Queen Elizabeth of course!"
"You're mates with Bey
but how does it feel to be having a nod with Madonna?"
I did her Material Girl campaign a few years ago
so when I first met her, honestly, it was I literally like couldn't feel my feet
I was so scared she's one of the nicest most coolest most
work driven people I've ever met than in my entire life. And on top of that, really cool
mother
you know, to be a part of this kind of video
it's awesome." "Can you tell us anything about it?" "NO!"
"Really?!" "I don't want the Queen Madge coming up to me
and like telling me off! No thank you!"
"But can you take on Swifty's 'Bad Blood'?"
"It's not my video, I'm just supporting the cause!"
"Who else is in it?" "She made a list, didn't she?" "Yeah, but is that
everyone?" "I think so!" "Cool, like it." "You gotta wait and find out"
"And with you and the new album, what we can expect?
Can we expect a more fierce style,Beyonce, Sasha Fierce, Rita Ora
"Well, I recorded my first album when I was 18, so I'm 24 now so
I'm
likes since touring and meeting people and seeing things and
being in and out personal situations and blah-de-blah, I think you realise that your
skin is thicker than you think and
this album's about that. It's about females stick together, about your skin
being thicker
but it's still pop! I mean I love pop music, it's like my
thing, so for me, it's my inspiration along with soul, with
pop with
even just the songwriters I worked with really
help me make this album just what it needs to be" "And if you've got any advice for anyone
because we've all been broken hearted, we've all been through some bad stuff"
"Publicly?! (LAUGHS) "This is it
I don't get how you do that." "Well, you know, I'm not gonna get into it, this is all about the
music
I'm not really about kinda personally speaking about things
you know I think that if you just concentrate and give people what they want
musically than everything else is self-explanatory"
"and we can hear that and see that in your new video?" "Yeah!"
"I mean Poison, I think, is really cool story telling
video to kind of start the album campaign" "And I'll be shot if I don't ask you about the latest rumours,
X Factor, The Voice, what's going on?" "Oh well, you know, that rumour has been going about
three years now, right?
This X Factor one I've been hearing for ages, but all I can tell you that it's about music
but it's a compliment" "Rita, it's all about the music and the hair!
cos it's always absolutely killing it!" "Thank you! Well,
my hairdresser Chris is gonna love you for that! I just have a good team. My hairdresser is the best!"
"Babe, you're the best thank you so much, put it there!"
