ThreadBare said: I bypass most of today's pop/r&b offerings, but "Umbrella" had me hooked from the first time I heard it. Within days, I was trying to download it as a ringtone. I'm an oldhead with even older tastes. But that's some mighty good songwriting, to make me alter my music consumption habits like that.
I even like Mandy Moore's version of it. It's a great song.  (with the exception of the ringtone part ) It's a great, fun song that deserves to be rewarded just like "Promiscuous" in 2006."Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

lastdecember said: In todays Daily News theres another report of someone who passed on "Umbrella", Mary J Blige said she was offered it but she said no because "she doesnt need to chase mainstream trends".
I don't know how trendy it sounded. It worked well for Rhianna but I can't imagine anyone else having a hit with it. | |

I don't know how trendy it sounded. It worked well for Rhianna but I can't imagine anyone else having a hit with it. Its just simple Routine stuff, catchy, good for a minute, forget it the next. I know some people think that POP is supposed to be "disposable" but thats not true at all, POP is supposed to be something can stand up on its own and also seperate that artist from the next, In that song i can almost hear anyone doing it, I used to think that Gwen Stefani had some kind of seperation from other artists and then i heard a Paris Hilton track and said isnt that Gwen which is when i realized that Gwen wasnt really doing anything special with her solo stuff that any other one timer couldnt do. So being "catchy" doesnt make it a good POP song, i suggest everyone really look into what makes a real good POP song, and its not it about having a catch phrase like "ella ella" in it over an over. Trust me theres real POP out there that no one is even paying attention to, because everyone is listening to things being passed off as pop.

Both songs have the "nagging" effect.
I'm willing to give "Just Fine" a pass for the sake of my love for Miss Blige, but even this song is beneath her too, really. | |

I like some of her stuff and better is subjective. More commerically viable than anything shes released anyway. She loves those crossover tunes (Family Affair etc) and Umbrella was number one for like ten weeks in the UK alone. | |

To be honest, I can't argue with you on this point. Eversince "Family Affair" her mind got twisted and she became more calculated when it came to choosing her 1st singles. But substance-wise, she surpasses anybody from this generation for the simple fact that she's sincere about her work whereas most of them ditch superficial, in the moment, flavor of the month bullshit that won't be remembered 5 years from now. | |

If nothing else, the vid for "Umbrella" is amazing.
I like the actual song a lot, too, though.. and that's coming from someone who normally opposes current Hot 100 music (although I'm learning these days to have a less elitist attitude about it since some Hot 100 songs of the past few years are great guilty pleasures of mine  ). | |

Really? Because she's painted?  I saw stills from the video & thought it was gonna be something to see but when I actually watched it I don't think I made it to the end  I was bored to tears. People really don't make good videos anymore (not from the little I see, & it's a small amount I admit)...

"Umbrella" is possibly the best mainstream track of the decade. A great melody, great beat, nice changes. The only section I don't like is the middle 8, but the chorus is a fucking monster. I send my condolences to the deaf, dumb, and blind motherfuckers who are embarassing themselves by calling it "crappy". And Mary needs her head examined for turning down that song. It's got a stronger hook than anything she's ever recorded.

[Edited 12/15/07 17:40pm] wow than this has been one shit decade. Catchy chorus's dont make good pop songs, rihanna's career is built on catchy little phrases so far, all of her hits have some kind of little thing. For Mary's sake she needs to get the hell away from this commerical crap anyway, whether its on her albums or tracks she's thinking of doing, lose it Mary, do something with chaka, not something you should have done 15 years ago. this is the exact problem with the "mainstream" is that when something a little more complex comes around like songs without little catch phrases people cant deal with it, they're like "whats with all these words, we cant remember that" and thats how this is, simple, anyone could do it in a heartbeat, lets not make it like this girl is the best thing pop has every seen because she needs about 5 more albums and something to seperate herself from the pack to get that. I mean come on already with this, simple little pop song, thats it, a little hook, next please. I think everyone needs to go back to POP 101 and learn some basics again and then start releasing and producing again.

The fact that you're lumping it in with all her other hits, and even non-melodic Fergie tracks, shows that you really are not listening. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

That shows you are not listening. This song is not just a loop. It has old fashioned things like chord changes, electric guitars, live sounding drums and a MELODY. These things seperate it from almost every other R&B track of the last five years yet it's obvious you haven't even noticed. That's because you are not paying attention. Judging from the off-topic Rihanna bashing in your posts, it's obvious your opinion of the song is being clouded by your views on her. I'm not crazy about her voice either, but it doesn't stop me recognising the strength of the song. If Mary had recorded this track your opinion of it would be completely different. Mine wouldn't. I'd like it whoever recorded it. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

I'd like it whoever recorded it. You want chord changes and REAL LIVE instruments (not souding like them) throw on "outside of You" by Hilary Duff and thats a pop song, and different from anything thats out there which is why it wont get played, mainly because its too fast for radio and the mainstream which is why alot of these songs catch on, mainly because they are so slowed down and lifeless its all the same. I could care less about Rihanna as a person, she is meaningless to me, i have no opnion of her which is worse than having one. If Mary recorded this song i would still not like it, sorry, it has nothing to do with the person, im not liking the song, its boring me, check my posts on Mariah Carey who i consider a good artist but one of the worst album artists of all time, and i like her, but when she does shit like shes been doing its time to call it for what it is. Ive listened to all her Rihannas stuff and saying this is better than that is not impressing me, yuo make it seem like she made this switch from the Beatles doing "She loves you" and crap like that to actual songs like "Strawberry Fields" that is progression, her hooking up with a better songwriter and producer than she typically does doesnt impress me to a point of giving her a "ok" youre great now.

Define "strong" though I certainly think "Be Without You" has a BETTER hook than "Umbrella", it may not be as readily remembered or instantly catchy but it certainly stays with you longer & will age well imo... "Real Love" also...

lastdecember said: Its just simple Routine stuff, catchy, good for a minute, forget it the next.
Which explains why its still huge and still being covered. And that also explains why "ella ella ella" has become a popular catch phrase too. Because, according to you, it's simple, routine stuff people have already forgotten! I know some people think that POP is supposed to be "disposable" but thats not true at all, POP is supposed to be something can stand up on its own and also seperate that artist from the next,
Exactly. And Umbrella DID that. That song is what people associate Rihanna with now and its sound is what people will be looking forward to on her next album. This song made her a superstar whether you like it or not. In that song i can almost hear anyone doing it, I used to think that Gwen Stefani had some kind of seperation from other artists and then i heard a Paris Hilton track and said isnt that Gwen which is when i realized that Gwen wasnt really doing anything special with her solo stuff that any other one timer couldnt do.
Then that's your fault for thinking Gwen has an ounce of talent. People seem to think she was extremely talented because she was in a rock band as opposed to first being a pop singer. Now she's shown just how boring she is with her cutesy, lame, somewhat embarassing attempts at pop songs, only slightly improved if Pharrell is on board. She can't sing for crap, she's WORSE than Rihanna live which takes a lot! You seem to have all your artists in the wrong order in terms of potential. When Gwen churns out the same pop crap on two albums over 3-4 years, you know somethings up. When Rihanna continually changes her sound with each song and album and is willing to put a new spin on old tracks, you know she's only going to get better with the right people around her. So being "catchy" doesnt make it a good POP song, i suggest everyone really look into what makes a real good POP song, and its not it about having a catch phrase like "ella ella" in it over an over. Trust me theres real POP out there that no one is even paying attention to, because everyone is listening to things being passed off as pop.
 And here YOU are recommending everyone listen to Motzart, oh I mean, FERGIE. Frickin' FERGIE! Who likes to sing about how delicious she tastes and how lovely her lady lumps are! Fucking hell! You were also rambling on a few months back about what a stupendously amazing singer Nicole Sherzinger is. Yeah...cause her albums doing SO well right now....
So so far, you've praised the "talents" of two of the worst mainstream artists ever, yet you feel you have the right to diss the one pop song everyone likes and has that X factor to it and THEN tell us to listen to "real" pop! Maybe you should take the earphones blasting "London Bridge" and "Don't Cha" out of your ears and really LISTEN to Umbrella. Ignore Rihanna's voice, I know it can get annoying. Have a listen to the hundreds of covers of it, including Rihanna's recent acoustic version. The Org doesn't embrace a pop song from today easily. So you KNOW something is special about this song when the majority of people here like it. wow than this has been one shit decade.
I agree here. I'd say Crazy in Love was the best song of the decade so far. Catchy chorus's dont make good pop songs, rihanna's career is built on catchy little phrases so far, all of her hits have some kind of little thing.
No, they didn't. Pon De Replay was catchy in its own right without the chorus. S.O.S had the Tainted Love beat and the awesome video. Umbrella would still be successful without the ella ella part. Anyway, shut the fuck up about "omg rihannas only successful because shes catchy wha wha wha" because your girls Fergie and Nicole do the exact same thing. You think London Bridge or Whatever U Like didn't have catchy choruses? this is the exact problem with the "mainstream" is that when something a little more complex comes around like songs without little catch phrases people cant deal with it, they're like "whats with all these words, we cant remember that"
Well that would explain why most people in my age group (17 and up) loved Gnarls Barkley's hit Crazy. Because...it...had so many little...phrases...oh wait...no it didn't....hmmm.... You really don't listen to much top 40 do you? Anyway, part of pop is about phrases and choruses. You're basically dissing everything about pop that MAKES it pop. Idiot. and thats how this is, simple, anyone could do it in a heartbeat, lets not make it like this girl is the best thing pop has every seen because she needs about 5 more albums and something to seperate herself from the pack to get that.
So hows about you let her prove it before you go writing her off? There's always negative old fuckers like you, seething with jealously, ready to sign off the latest pop star no matter how many times they get to number one. "NOW THIS ALBUM WILL BE HER LAST!!!!" There are many disposable pop acts, but Rihanna's proving to be a stayer. I mean come on already with this, simple little pop song, thats it, a little hook, next please. I think everyone needs to go back to POP 101 and learn some basics again and then start releasing and producing again.
Take your own advice, buddy. You need it. Desperately.
Dude it bores me to fucking tears, sorry, its cool maybe the first time, and big deal its better than her other songs. Thats like saying High School Musical 2 is better than 1, its irrelevant.
How in gods name is that irrelevant? It means she's getting better and improving and working on a trademark sound. Do you really work in the music industry? She bores me, her vocal style is the same in every song i have heard from all her albums, she is just there, i swear sometimes i think they need to take this girls pulse to see if shes living.
Great, fantastic, no one cares, move on. Why keep going on and on about it? We get you don't like her so just shut the hell up after the first time. You're gonna be like FarrahMoan soon, coming into any old thread to blast Timbaland. Imago : "Ok, so this thread is about meat pies and onions people!" FarrahMoan: "TIMBOFUCK FUCKING SUX ASS!! FAT PIECE OF STEALING SHIT! FAAAAKE" Seriously, STFU.
And also lets not make it like she crafted this song, she did nothing but show up and sing, so if you are gonna give credit for the song, dont start with her because she had nothing to do with it. And please dont even mention a Queen song in the same post with the likes of Rihanna and Fergie, i mean really, Freddie Mercury dead has more life to him than they do.
Ooh, I think you just hurt Fergie's feelings. She was all happy being compared to Mozart.... And where did anyone say "I love Umbrella because Rihanna wrote it". We're no idiots. We know half of today's pop songs aren't written by the singer. Duh. That's been happening forever. Even if she did write it, I'm sure you'd be ripping into her about how stupid her lyrics are. "OMGZ LYK RHIAAANAS LYRICS SUX CUZ SHE DIDNT COMPARE HER UMBRELLA TO HER LADY LUMPZ LIKE FERGIE DID!!!111" 
I could care less about Rihanna as a person, she is meaningless to me, i have no opnion of her which is worse than having one.
You have no opinion of her? Hmm, I suggest you look over some of your previous posts then. And fine, think what you want about whoever you want. But don't treat your opinion like fact. Actually GET some facts first. LISTEN properly to the song without bias. State your opinion on it then LEAVE IT BE. Don't ruin other people's listening experiences and don't cut them down just because you don't like it. Each to their own. REMEMBER THAT! | |

First of all i didnt praise Fergie ever, i put her in a class with Rihanna which im sorry they are both the same person, just like gwen and paris hilton can sound the same. Who cares if its being covered, who did it Mandy Moore, ooh yet another leap of talent in the world, yeah ella ella is a catch phrase just like the macarena and sexy back dont make them good, and just because it sells or still gets play doesnt mean its good, i mean if you think just because people buy it its good you need to look around, people bought Hitler too. Yeah also it will be forgotten as soon as the next idiot comes up with the next stupid phrase. I have listened to her without bias, and dont like it, OK u like it good alot of people like it cool, alot of people dont like it too, alot of people like Princes new album alot think its shit, so who the fuck cares, one is still around and one will be gone in a few years, next pop star please. Also Gwen had talent till she hooked up with no talents, could she sing, no, but at least she worked with people that create songs, that was until she went solo and sold out to great creative world of mainstream today. And btw Rihanna is not even close to being a superstar or icon, wow you guys give titles away so quick, from Amy whinehouse being the second coming to Arcade Fire being the greatest band ever, cut the nonsense already.

Even if she did write it, I'm sure you'd be ripping into her about how stupid her lyrics are. "OMGZ LYK RHIAAANAS LYRICS SUX CUZ SHE DIDNT COMPARE HER UMBRELLA TO HER LADY LUMPZ LIKE FERGIE DID!!!111"
I could care less about Rihanna as a person, she is meaningless to me, i have no opnion of her which is worse than having one.
You have no opinion of her? Hmm, I suggest you look over some of your previous posts then. And fine, think what you want about whoever you want. But don't treat your opinion like fact. Actually GET some facts first. LISTEN properly to the song without bias. State your opinion on it then LEAVE IT BE. Don't ruin other people's listening experiences and don't cut them down just because you don't like it. Each to their own. REMEMBER THAT! Damn, that's one long ass post "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

Imago : "Ok, so this thread is about meat pies and onions people!" FarrahMoan: "TIMBOFUCK FUCKING SUX ASS!! FAT PIECE OF STEALING SHIT! FAAAAKE" Seriously, STFU. Wow! You make my balls itch! Why do you insist on being such a sweet twat, to me? My, the ambivalence for you is strong..... | |
