Rihanna- Umbrella


R'n'B sensation RIHANNA nearly missed out on the opportunity to record her summer smash hit UMBRELLA as it was originally intended for MARY J BLIGE or BRITNEY SPEARS.

TRICKY STEWART, the producer behind the track, revealed to NME magazine that the song was composed with Britney in mind- but was declined as the singer had already filled her latest album.
The song was then sent to MARY J BLIGE and the head of RIHANNA's Island Def Jam label.
"In a two-day period, we were in the bidding war of our lives," Stewart told the music magazine. RIHANNA won the battle as Blige was busy with the Grammy Awards.
Now, go impress your mates with that bit of useless knowledge!
