Rita Ora talked X Factor, Chris Brown and personal sacrifices during a recent visit to KISS.
Fresh from her first official week as X Factor judge, the busiest woman in pop discussed the sacrifices she’s made during her career and her working relationship with Chris Brown, who she collaborated with on her latest single ‘Body On Me’.
Chatting about why she worked with Brown, Kiss Haunted House Party act, Rita said:
> “Musically, I really respect him. And vocally, his voice was the only voice that made sense for Body on Me, like his tone of voice worked and the way he sings. And I had my little thought, like who could work on it well. And for some reason it was just Chris's name that kept coming into my head, and I'd been wanting to work with him for a while.”
Moving the conversation onto the super steamy video, she told Rickie, Melvin & Charlie what it was like filming the sexy scenes:
> “Well, I can officially tell you, they weren't hard! I think any female, depending on your taste, would vouch for me when I say it was an extremely eventful day. I'm only saying that because he's so, so easy to work with…I’ve always looked at Chris as someone that takes charge and control of his own destiny".
Between new music, acting and judging on the X Factor, Rita told us she does’t really get much time to rest.
“The thing is though, with what we do, I think it comes with a lot of sacrifice and it comes with a lot of knowing that, you know what, I'm not gonna sleep” she said.
“I take on a lot of things, and sometimes my team look at me and say, you know what? That's actually physically impossible to fly from there to there in under eight hours. I'm like, no it's not, get me there now…if you want this world, you've got to work at it.”
