Rita Ora candidly confessed that she had to conquer her own personal doubts so that she could accept the position of judge on the BBC's "The Voice."
"There have been times when I thought, 'Should I be doing this?' I'm sitting alongside amazing talents many albums deep and I'm only on my second one," admitted the hit-maker. "But I guess they want that perspective for a reason, and if I can help someone, why should I be selfish enough not to?" she told British magazine Star.
"I had a moment where I was like, 'F**k!' But then I thought, 'I have nothing to hide. I have no skeletons left in my closet, so I'm just going to go for it.' And that's exactly what I did."
Ora, 24, will judge alongside will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones and Kaiser Chiefs' Ricky Wilson on the show.
The "I Will Never Let You Down" singer has certainly struck a chord with will.i.am, the Black Eyed Peas rapper, who praised her commercial successes away from the music industry. He told The Sun newspaper, "I am so happy Rita is on this season, as she represents a whole new level of how you quantify success.
"Does Rita have ten No1s right now? No, but Rita accomplished things that artists who have had 120 No1s haven't. People might have crazy amounts of No1s but they don't have the deals that Rita has."
He added: "When I walk through the supermarket and see Rita on a magazine and see her products in there, I say this girl has got some crazy stuff and I think these artists, they need to see the new dynamic to quantify success."
