Britney Turned Down Rihanna's Hit

August 29, 2007


Britney Spears should be banned from making any and all decisions regarding her career--simply because she's a big ol' mess.

Spears was originally offered the chance to record 'Umbrella', the hit that put Rihanna on the map--but Spears turned it down.

Music producer Tricky Stewart, who created the track, confessed Spears was given first option on the song. British singer/songwriter Taio Cruz said, "I was working with Tricky in his studio the day he finished Umbrella. As soon as I heard it I said, 'That is a smash, I have to have it,' but he told me it was on hold for Britney.

"He waited but Britney's people never called him back."

Rihanna has been holding onto the number one spot in the U.K. charts for a staggering 10 weeks. Work it girl! Please don’t turn into a train wreck.

Britney would've made it her own just like Rihanna did. What concerns us about Britney is the same concerns we see in ourself. Go ahead Miss Brit.

Britney Spears is a washed up slutty little bitch who doesn't have a single brain cell in her head. She's quite disgusting, really.

Britney singing umbrella wouldn't have the same meaning anymore considering her "umbrella" incident. lol It's suppose to be a love song. If Britney sings it now or put it out eventually. People would laugh their @ss off.

Yet another example of how Britney Spears should never be left to make any decisions herself - ever. Common sense and intelligence can't be bought, but if she hides behind those who DO have the ability to think, (drive, buy clothes, raise pets and kids) then they can pretend that she's ok and that she still has a career (when the public knows it's not true).
