'Umbrella' Meant for Britney???

[001steven]

My Mate told me that Rihannas NO.1 single 'Umbrella' was originally meant for Britney is this true??

If it is i wonder why she turned it down? maybe beacause at the time she was going thorough the bitter fight with Kevin :sad: i can imagine Britney singing Umbrella and when you think about maybe she would of had the 10weeks at the top :puzzled::spin:

Mary J Blige reveals new album details

Mary J. Blige has announced details of her new album.

The R&B heavyweight will release 'Growing Pains', her eighth studio collection, on November 26 through Geffen. It will be followed soon after by a single, 'Just Fine', on December 3.

The track was produced by Jazze Pha and 'Tricky' Stewart - the man behind Rihanna's summer smash 'Umbrella'. And the outspoken singer recently claimed that the song had been written for her.

"They did the song for me," she told MTV. "And it was during the Grammy time and I was really, really busy, and I heard it, and I was like, 'Oh my goodness, that's a smash. I love this song.' And it was like 'It's yours'. So in the midst of it being mine, they were probably telling (Rihanna) it was hers."

But Blige is apparently "just fine" with the way things worked out.

She added: "I was so glad that she caught it and knocked it out of the park, and it's still one of my favourite songs to date."

Id have preferred Mary J to have got it, at least she could probably do a decent job of it when singing it live. Rihanna is woeful when she performs Umbrella live, or nearly anything live for that matter.

I read somewhere that it was given to Britney, but she didn't end up going to the recording.

If it's true, then she's extremely stupid.
I think she's pretty stupid at the moment anyway. Sure, her new album ain't awful but it can't be great for her mental health.

Rhianna is better than britney.

[001steven]

Rihanna is OK but she CAN NOT sing live i saw her on Live Erath she was Awfull the just mimes and sings over it but VERY Low evenn though Britney cant sing live Which imo she CAN Britney would of made Umbrella work just like Rihanna

[CassetteFinger]

Nah even though rhianna cant sing live she has a unique voice its very odd and its good britneys voice is alright but theres nothing special about it.

[001steven]

same with rihannas imo her voice aswell is TECHNOLGY made good
