Rita Ora Defends Her Role On The ‘The Voice UK’ By Shading Previous Judge Kylie Minogue
Rita Ora has come under fire in the UK tabloids for her new role on The Voice UK. They argue that she is only famous for being famous and doesn’t have the credentials to replace Kylie Minogue on the popular talent show. The “Black Widow” hitmaker tried to defend herself but threw a little shade in the process — suggesting that she has her finger on the pulse, while the Aussie pop icon is something of a relic.
“For me, Kylie has a different perspective on the music industry,” Rita told The Sun. “She has been in music for so long that she can tell you all the history, but what I can tell you is the now. I have the same aspirations as the acts, which the other coaches don’t have.” The Albanian beauty has enjoyed incredible success in the UK since her arrival 2012, but the “Into The Blue” diva is still racking up hits 25+ years into her career — so perhaps she could show a little more respect. As it stands, Rita Ora has scored six UK top 10 hits, Kylie Minogue has landed 34.
