I haven't poster here in months, but I was wondering what you all think of Mandy Moore's version of Rihanna's song "Umbrella?"

Here is the video of her singing it for Pepsi Covers

Wow....um....that was certainly weird.....

no matter how u slice it, it still comes up shit

She shouldn't have worn flats, but I almost really liked that.
It's nice as an acoustic. Now I want to hear someone else do it better.

Sarah Mclachlan, maybe.


D

She's a cornball. That song is hot.

anon said:

Yeah, that's the biggest mistake a singer can make.

It's funny because she makes it sound so tragic.

"oh ma god, you just broke ma heart, there's a genocide going on in somalia... but you can stand under ma umb...rella"

novabrkr said:

Funny.
I was speaking only aesthetic. Hey! it's a superficial world they're in...I should be allowed to make superficial comments. No?

Those shoes really weren't working. She should have gone barefoot if she wanted to be grounded. Barefoot is fine.

anon said:

To perform it more overwrought than Mandy? That's a challenge.

Cinnie said:

No. Just better.

why is it just playing some speed metal song?

ok...

i see it.

i can't view it here on our work computer

and i love MANDY MOORE!!!

I actually do like this slower version of this song, I had heard this before and had no idea it was Mandy Moore

I like it actually. Never thought I'd say that about a Mandy Moore track
I predict they'll release this as a single, and it'll go top 10 all over again.

I liked it. Of course, she loses points for pronouncing it correctly. It's "um-ber-ella," Mandy!

You're probably right...even despite the cheese parts.
And it's much better if you don't look at the video. I didn't know I was superficial but she's rocking the Mormon look so hard that it's distracting.

Now I'm wondering what other songs will be covered for the Bible belt.

loved it!

"its so top 40 and i dont listen to that kinda music" lol

the cover is okay. i heard a better one the other day.

i like her version better

Christopher said:

NEITHER DO I *MURKS BROWSER*

wow..this definitely needs to be released!! i love it!!!

bellanoche said:

Mandy Moore is a better vocalist. She gets my vote.

Mandy Mooore: Paraphrase: "This is top 40 fare and I NORMALLY do not listen to top 40."

Wow. It seems like yesterday when Mandy Moore was the third-tier version of Britney Spears during the teen pop craze. Now, she is attempting to establish herself as a "serious" artist. Give me a break.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Now, now. I thought that comment was kind of sad, because I figured she doesn't listen to top 40 because she never made the top 40.

However, I just looked it up and apparently "I Wanna Be With You" peaked at #24. I've never heard it.
