Something Tells Me It Wouldn’t Have Been The Same

British singer, Taio Cruz, said that he was in the studio the day Tricky Stewart finished Rihanna's hit song "Umbrella." He told Tricky that he had to have the song immediately, but Tricky said it was on hold for Britney Spears.
Taio said, "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.
“I told him I didn’t think Britney would be able to sing it – she hasn’t got the right accent – but he said he was keeping it for her anyway. He waited but Britney’s people never called him back.”
He said that after Britney never called Tricky back, he recorded the song, but his label didn't think it worked with him. Rihanna eventually got the song that has become one the biggest hits of the year. Ooooh Britney!
Something tells me that song really wouldn't be the same with Brit Brit singing. Imagine her ass bouncing around with an umbrella! Fantasia's Dance of the Hours anyone?
Why is it always drama with Britney? Always! She needs to get a clue and realize her life would be a lot simpler if she kept her ass at home, but methinks that's not what our little girl from the south wants!
