Who is Rita Ora though?
Born in Kosovo but moved to London with her parents and younger brother, Rita attended school and graduated at St Charles Sixth Form. She began acting and singing from a very young age and at the age of 14 she started taking it seriously. You're probably thinking 'Ive never heard or seen this chick'. And you're probably right. But, she did work with Craig David on 2 songs. Where's Your Love ft herself and Tinchy Stryder and Awkward with Craig and just her. (Very awkward as I myself have no recollection of these tracks whatsoever). After those 'Awkward' moments,she supposedly signed the deal with Roc Nation in 2008. I know your now thinking '08, 09, 2010 and now 2011, 'What was she doing all this time Capri?'. Well don't you stress your little brains. Rita Ora has been doing some bit of work I guess. OK, she features in Drake's Over. So she hasn't just been signed and doing nothing for years. Oh wait, she did an advert for Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviators Presents: Rita Ora.
Who is Alexis Jordan?
Alexis Jordan is an American singer-songwriter and actress from South Carolina, who rose to fame as a contestant on the first season of America's Got Talent in 06. When she didn't get far in the show, she started uploading video's of her singing covers on YouTube. Which got millions of views. The exposure let Jordan to the attention of production team Stargate and rapper Jay-Z, who both went on to sign her to their label, StarRoc/Roc Nation. Her debut single Happiness was released September 7th, 2010. It did very well in the US charts and reached top 5 in the UK. In fact, it did so well that it was certified platinum. Her new single 'Good Girl' will be available in all stores and download on February 20th, 2010. Not only can Alexis sing very well, she can also do a full out dance choreography, which is very clear in her new video.
Lets all remember that being signed doesn't mean your going to release something straight away. But then again, who knows what Jay-Z has planned for Rita Ora. All we can see is that Alexis Jordan is slowly but surely taking over the charts. Hopefully we will see Rita Ora's music very soon. Good luck to both women.
I really like Alexis Jordan, she's not the best dancer in the world, but she can move and groove...I hope she becomes big...as the girl can sing!!
