The Resume

    Born in Pristina, Yugoslavia
    Debut CD is ‘Ora’

Why she might be annoying:

    Can you pronounce her middle name (Sahatçiu)?
    She lists Gwen Stefani (especially), Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, and Madonna as influences.
    Having auditioned for the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest as the British contestant, she withdrew after a few episodes.
    She is a close friend of Rihanna – another style inspiration – and One Direction's Harry Styles.
    She was a guest judge on the British X-Factor (May 2012).
    She signed to make an appearance on 90210.
    No combination of clothes is too strange for her.

Why she might not be annoying:

    The younger of two daughters born into a shell-pocked war environment, her entire family fled Kosovo for West London before she was a year old.
    On the recommendation of her choir director (she joined at age six), she enrolled in Sylvia Young Theatre School — the top arts school in London.
    She lists Beyonce Knowles, Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, and Aaliyah as influences.
    She is so proud of her platinum hair that she cannot imagine going brunette.
    No one will ever accuse her of boring fashion sense.
