Well, why shouldn't she be treated like a superstar in the US?

Lorde had a big hit in the US and Oceania and was treated like a superstar in the UK, she was even allowed to play at her first TV show by Jools, it secured her her first number one in the UK.

Rita, with features, had 3 number one singles in the UK, I think.

That said, I doubt her first single will be that big in the US but who knows.

I think her US label knows the best if they can try to make her big in the US, it's their investment.

Just heard her upcoming single, nothing special why people are praising it is beyond me, is she signed to Syco or something?

So average zzzzzZ

That has nothing to do with what you quoted me on.

No, I Will Never Let You Down HAS been released in the US. It peaked in the #70's last week and has dropped out of the top 300, despite all the US promo.

Also, if you're comparing Rihanna's debut, I don't recall Rihanna walking around the US like a superstar after her first album. She took it album at a time, hit at a time. It's called building up. The point I made was the exposure she gets is like Rihanna's exposure now after a load of Billboard #1's and #1 albums all over the world. Rita is NOWHERE near that yet, but seems as though she is being treated that way in terms of promo and media exposure.

And lastly, like others have said, her debut sold nowhere near 3,000,000 in the UK, more like 300,000 so god knows where you've got that from Seems you're full of delusion

She kind of is very famous. Will she ever get a hit as big as Umbrella? Obviously not. But she's still very famous, even in the US.

She's not just a pop singer, she's also and actress and a fashion model. If you look at just one of her careers, then she doesn't seem that successful, but when you look at all three then really she's done quite a lot in quite a little time.

If she really was a nobody, she would be struggling to get all these high profile fashion shoots, or roles in movies or collaborations with big artists.

It's not all about the charts. Look at Drake, he's only had a few top 10 hits, yet he's very famous. Justin Bieber has never had a #1, and he's very famous. Kanye West hasn't had a massive chart hit in ages and he's still constantly in the spotlight. On the other hand, Pitbull and Flo Rida dominate the charts yet the media just doesn't care about them.

You have a weak argument there. You can't really compare Drake, Justin Bieber and Kanye's chart positions or recent success to Rita. Drake, Kanye and Justin are more album sellers then they are single artists so that's irelevant whether how many hit singles they have. Plus Kanye has around for a long time now, so he doesn't need to prove himself with hit singles. Plus his numerous amounts of grammy nominations and subsequent wins. He also writes and produces for other artists. Kanye is also highly regarded in the hip-hop/rap genre.

So yeah it isn't all about charts, but you can't compare Rita to those three you have mentioned. Especially as someone like Kanye West. As well as Drake whose populairty increases with each album.

She isn't really a fashion model is she?. She wears trendy clothes and the media and fashion experts pick up on this and if they like her style, they will sign her for endorsements or whatever, but that's purely because the name RITA ORA is attached to it, not because she is a "model". If your a good looking popstar, you will always be offered modelling jobs or whatever but it doesn't make you a proper Fashion model. A fashion model is someone like Naomi Campbell or Kate Moss anyway.

Can't STAND this woman, she comes across so so tryhard and desperate. She reminds me of that dirty girl in school would be into freaky s***! I honestly don't know what CH see's in her I'm hoping she is secretly his beard ..... perhaps a pipe dream.

I don't forsee her being around long tho. If the likes of Lady Gaga's fame can diminish greatly, Rita stands no chance.

Why do people call her rita whora? Have i missed something?

It's a petty name but I think it's because her ex boyfriend made claims that she'd slept her way to the top...I don't know how much truth there is in that.

I was just about to make a tread about this..she seems to be at every award show that there is like she is a big worldwide superstar..whenever I look at digital spy or open the papers she is on the red carpet or presenting..She acts like a world famous star espically in the US..

Rita Ora IMO is one of the most overrated and annoying 'stars' around, but other people like so bleh..

To be fair, this is a pretty good performance of her newest song. I reckon this will be a hit too. It just seems that some of the hype around her is a bit forced, like she's going to be made into a star whether people like it or not.

Calvin apparently has a room dedicated to her.

It took time for Rihanna to catch on. I suppose they think if they keep ramming her down our throats she'll start to resonate with people. It worked for Rihanna so they might as well try it again.

Well she does seem to go through men. There was the Kardaishian, Calvin Harris and she's onto another one now.

agree with you, they tried to make her the new rihanna and it hasnt worked, her voice, songs, videos are average imo nothing superstar about her

Puzzled by the comments here regarding Rita in USA . No hits there , ???, first single coming out in USA ??.,she has had TWO hits already , both ( How we do and RIP ) making the Billboard top 30 , even higher on other charts.

Last time I checked no they were not. And US charts are based on Radio, Streaming and Sales. Her album release was also cancelled.

Unless you know something the rest of the world doesn't, she isn't "on to another one".

So "going through men" equates to two

Seriously, where are you getting your info from? How We Do charted at #62 and RIP charted at #103 in the US. Both flops, so no album was released.

When celebs are starting out, they need to ingratiate themselves into the public's good graces, but Rita seems to have leapfrogged this stage, and is promoted and acts like she's some sort of 'icon of her generation'. It's bizarre watching her be interviewed as she talks about herself as if she's a major role model to girls and young women, and yet it's difficult to believe that anyone could be influenced by someone as bland and mediocre as she is. She really could be one of thousands of girls you see in London all the time. No intriguing personality. No star quality. Just the very definition of average.

This is one artist that has passed me by. I don't read gossip mags, etc, so I don't know who she has or is dating. I've seen her name mentioned here and there but I couldn't name you a single song by her! I have not a clue about her music and it wasn't until a short while back that I didn't even know who she was, she was just a name I'd heard mentioned. I see some people here compare her to Pixie Lott's level of fame but, unlike with Rita Ora, I HAVE heard a lot of her songs and can name several of them (Mama Do, Cry Me Out, Girls And Boys, All About Tonight, etc) so to me Pixie is a bigger level of star as surely with a 'big name popstar' they should be household name that everyone instantly knows of and can name at least a couple of their songs, whether you like them or not.

I saw her in a gossip magazine with someone else and they said it was her new boyfriend lol

Is Rita managed by the same people who managed The Wanted? they had the same air of arrogance about them. Thinking they were A List stars and making out they were much bigger than One Direction - lol that blew up in their face.

The Rita situation reminds me of the same thing what happened with The Wanted.
