discussion Hit songs for female singers that were given to other artists (Britney, Janet, Rihanna)

[Jordan Miller]

Can you imagine Britney Spears singing "Umbrella" instead of Rihanna (that would have been so iconic tbh)? 

Or Janet Jackson singing "I'm A Slave 4 U" or "Boys?"

Or Rihanna singing "Come & Get It" and "Same Old Love" instead of Selena Gomez? 

What if Beyonce never recorded "Irreplaceable?" 

What if Britney released "Telephone" instead of Gaga?

A new video detailing iconic songs that mega artists passed on and given to others is worth your undivided attention. 

What are some songs that you know of that were traded around. What if they weren't passed on? Do you think it'd change the trajectory of their career?

This K-Pop song was initially meant for Little Mix: 

Pretty crazy to think about because this song was HUGE for Red Velvet. I don't really think it would suit Little Mix, tbh, so I'm glad the producer decided to sell it. 

There's no proof this song was intended for Kesha, but she did record the demo for some reason:

Tbh, I prefer Kesha's version. @Roxxy, here's some more SNSD trivia for you.

Also:

We all know how huge "Telephone" was for Gaga, but I wonder how it would've done as a Britney song. Critics loved "Telephone", and I wonder if critics would've loved it as much had it been a Britney song.  Still... IMO, both "Womanizer" and "Circus" are better, so I'm glad "Telephone" never became a thing. Maybe could've been a cute 3rd single, though.

I've thought this about Kylie Minogue and Toxic. I think it'd still sound great, and would still be a bop, but i'm unsure if it'd have the same success. It 100% would've been a huge success in the UK. I'm not sure about everywhere else though.

That’s wicked weird that you posted this.  I was just thinking this morning that this would be a great topic to discuss on here.

Imagine if Britney released umbrella after 2007 that would’ve been iconic

I think Britney doing Umbrella would’ve been iconic as well.  That I would’ve liked to have seen.

Probably a good thing this never happened. Could you imagine the controversy with a BLACK woman singing that she's a slave... chile

Waa I know about RDR Kesha. ❤ But the Red Velvet trivia OMG i didn't know that. For Little Mix? I can't imagine them singing Red Flavor.  Thank you Singyyy.

Can't get you out of my head was originally offered to S Club 7. They passed it went to another act then it went to Kylie minogue

 

 

Hell ...baby one more time was originally intended for TLC. Glad they passed as they got to do No Scrubs which was more age appropriate for them anyway..
