(Photo by Gotham/Getty Images) This looked great on camera, and indeed, it's super cute and I'm thrilled to see she resisted her usual urge to wear a visible thong. That would have been SO VERY COLD. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1898785768-1704225164.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - DECEMBER 31: Rita Ora is seen in Times Square on December 31, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Gotham/Getty Images) She changed into this for the late show, which my DVR declined to record. It's fine but the first one is way better. ## Rita Ora ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1884866367-1704225467.jpg) Rita Ora at the New Year's Rockin' Eve Big Ball Brunch held at EDITION: Times Square on December 29th, 2023 in New York City, New York. (Photo by John Nacion/Penske Media via Getty Images) Backing out for a second, she wore this to the pre-broadcast brunch, and it tickles me that she is essentially dressed as a chain-link security fence. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1885333045-1704225454.jpg) Rita Ora at the New Year's Rockin' Eve Big Ball Brunch held at EDITION: Times Square on December 29, 2023 in New York City, New York. (Photo by John Nacion/Penske Media via Getty Images) And... also this, somewhere. It's fine! It respects the weather. ## Rita Ora ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1895744148-1704225150.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - DECEMBER 30: Rita Ora is seen in Tribeca on December 30, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Gotham/GC Images) And that is deliciously dramatic as she struts down the street. Honestly, give her the whole telecast and let her change clothes ten times. ## Janelle Monae ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890720111-1704225270.jpg) In this image released on December 31, 2023 Janelle Monáe performs during Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Christopher Polk/Penske Media via Getty Images) So, again, my DVR only got the first TWO segments, leading up to the local news break at 11:30 p.m. BOO. They were not very strong segments, including a weirdly low-energy song choice from Janelle here that did not match the drama of this incredible cape. I assume she performed again later and blew the pre-taped roof off the place. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890716605-1704225330.jpg) In this image released on December 31, 2023, Janelle Monáe arrives at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Gilbert Flores/Penske Media via Getty Images) She looks so SURPRISED by herself. ## Doechii ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890715847-1704225414.jpg) In this image released on December 31, 2023, Doechii arrives at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Gilbert Flores/Penske Media via Getty Images) Don't come dressed as a ball on New Year's unless you are prepared for someone to drop you! ## Doechii ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890723189-1704225179.jpg) In this image released on December 31, 2023, Doechii performs during Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Christopher Polk/Penske Media via Getty Images) Instead, she dropped the ball. HAR HAR. GET IT. ## Ellie Goulding ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890716510-1704225359.jpg) In this image released on December 31, 2023, Ellie Goulding arrives at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Gilbert Flores/Penske Media via Getty Images) Ellie looks... sort of like herself here, but when I watched the segment, I missed the intro and actually rewound it to see who this vaguely similar Ellie Goulding impersonator was. Somehow in the dim light of her set on-stage, she looked even more different. She honestly looks A TINY bit like Tori Spelling here? Just a wee. ## Ellie Goulding ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890720508-1704225282.jpg) In this image released on December 31, 2023, Ellie Goulding performs during Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Christopher Polk/Penske Media via Getty Images) She put about this much energy into her first performance. It was weird. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890720688-1704225257.jpg) In this image released on December 31, 2023, Ellie Goulding performs during Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Gilbert Flores/Penske Media via Getty Images) But apparently she woke up for the second one. BOO TO MY DVR. (I suspect it's user error but don't tell anyone.) Also, HERE she looks like D'Arcy Carden as Bad Janet in *The Good Place*. ## LL Cool J ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890722109-1704225201.jpg) LL Cool J performs at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Times Square on December 31, 2023 in New York, New York. (Photo by Steve Eichner/Penske Media via Getty Images) This all seems cozy and on-brand, and yet still fancy. Hat tip to his background dancer, for serving MAJOR face. ## Bebe Rexha ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890721474-1704225230.jpg) In this image released on December 31, 2023, Loud Luxury x Two Friends feat. Bebe Rexha perform during Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Gilbert Flores/Penske Media via Getty Images) Those boots are SO aggressive. ## Jelly Roll ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890721018-1704225244.jpg) Jelly Roll performs at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Times Square on December 31, 2023 in New York, New York. (Photo by Steve Eichner/Penske Media via Getty Images) I fast-forwarded past this performance. I'm sorry. It wasn't personal. It was the last one on my recording and I was all rocked out. ## Sabrina Carpenter ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890719766-1704225292.jpg) Sabrina Carpenter performs at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Times Square on December 31, 2023 in New York, New York. (Photo by Steve Eichner/Penske Media via Getty Images) I do NOT like this Sexy Baby Doll look, and I also thought her songs were mediocre? It's all a bit cookie-cutter for me, like she has *The Big Book of Ariana Grande* on her shelf. Although I did appreciate that afterward she thanked everyone for being cold out there along with her. ## Tyla ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890719014-1704225320.jpg) Tyla performs at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Times Square on December 31, 2023 in New York, New York. (Photo by Steve Eichner/Penske Media via Getty Images) Talk about COLD, THOUGH. This also might be made of toilet paper. ## Ludacris ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890719445-1704225305.jpg) In this image released on December 31, 2023, Ludacris performs during Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Christopher Polk/Penske Media via Getty Images) They couldn't get Usher to perform "Yeah," but they did get Luda, and that was enough. This is delightful to me. ## Renee Rapp ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890716321-1704225344.jpg) In this image released on December 31, 2023, Renee Rapp arrives at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Gilbert Flores/Penske Media via Getty Images) I have to admit that I am also uninspired by her music, but she's the guest on SNL soon and I am going to wait and see if it's better there. SNL doesn't sound GREAT but it's also simpler than a pre-taped lip-synched situation where everyone is pretending it's New Year's Eve (the LA portions are not live). Here, Renee is like the older evolution of Taylor Momsen, except for how Taylor Momsen is still performing and does not need a stunt double. ## Shannon and Jared Leto ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890716250-1704225374.jpg) In this image released on December 31, 2023 Shannon Leto and Jared Leto arrive at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Rich Polk/Penske Media via Getty Images) And apparently 30 Seconds to Mars is being asked to do stuff. I thought Shannon Leto was Adam Lambert at first, which Adam Lambert probably would not like. ## Søren Rasted, Lene Nystrøm and,René Dif of Aqua ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890716027-1704225388.jpg) In this image released on December 31, 2023, Søren Rasted, Lene Nystrøm and,René Dif of Aqua arrive at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Rich Polk/Penske Media via Getty Images) They opened the night with, yes, "Barbie Girl." It was not the most dynamic experience? I'm glad THEY are still getting paid, though. If Aqua is problematic, I may choose ignorance. ## Nile Rodgers ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890715797-1704225401.jpg) In this image released on December 31, 2023, Nile Rodgers arrives at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Gilbert Flores/Penske Media via Getty Images) Love it. ## Green Day ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890715610-1704225428.jpg) In this image released on December 31, 2023, Mike Dirnt, Billy Joe Armstrong and Tré Cool of Green Day arrive at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Gilbert Flores/Penske Media via Getty Images) You know what, Billie Jo? I DO have time to listen to you whine. ## Coco Jones ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890715758-1704225441.jpg) In this image released on December 31, 2023, Coco Jones arrives at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Hollywood, California (Photo by Gilbert Flores/Penske Media via Getty Images) Now THAT skirt would be great in Times Square. ## Gabriel Iglesias ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890721413-1704225215.jpg) In this image released on December 31, 2023, Gabriel Iglesias arrives at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Gilbert Flores/Penske Media via Getty Images) I don't think I got any of Gabriel's stand-up in the stuff I recorded, but I appreciate that his shirt brought some verve. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/01/GettyImages-1890721830-1704225190.jpg) Happy New Year is seen on a screen at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024 in Times Square on January 1, 2024 in New York, New York. (Photo by Steve Eichner/Penske Media via Getty Images) ... Thanks, Kia. Next time, I hope someone at least changes the font from the Avid default to something else.
