Question mark’s favorite singer Rita Ora went on The Voice of Germany to push her second album, which will be released the day after never exclusively in Neverland, and the producers thought it would be a real cute gimmick for her to do a blind audition. The audition was so blind that even when the judges took off their blindfolds (read: turned their chairs around), they still didn’t know who the hell they were looking at. ONTD posted this clip and said, “Even after turning around, the judges didn’t seem to recognize her.” I thought they were exaggerating, but then I watched the clip and a couple of judges do give the same confused face my dad would give me if I ran up to him today and said, “Dad! It’s me, your son Michael!”
While wearing a red fringe curtain and hot ho stroll boots, Rita sang “Your Song,” and it didn’t take long for all of the judges (Samu Haber, Yvonne Catterfeld, Michi Beck & Smudo and Mark Forster) to turn around. The producers were probably expecting the judges to turn around and violently shake before passing out from inhaling the hot and powerful fumes shooting off of a scorching A-list STAH! But when they turned around, they looked like Trump whenever he’s told that his daughter Tiffany is on the line. They gave off, “I don’t know her,” vibes.
Those judges should be ashamed of themselves. They are supposed to be music industry experts and so they should know a worldwide singing sensation like Rita Ora! At least one judge seemed to know who she is. And the audience gave Rita the respect she deserves by standing, and not only because of a bright blinking sign in front of them that read: Stand Up And Pretend Like You Know Who That Is.
In case you can’t watch that video, here’s the face that Nancy Kerrigan’s twin sister made when she watched Rita. It looks like the word “Who?” is forming on her tongue.
And here’s the confused faces the dude duo made:
One of the judges tried to play it off like he thought a Rita Ora impersonator was auditioning. Nice try, bitch, but how can Rita Ora impersonators exist when nobody knows who she is in the first place. But seriously, Rita should’ve auditioned for real so she can get a better record deal.
And here’s the most recognizable star in Germany at the Bambi Awards in Berlin last night:
