“When Tricky Stewart co-wrote “Umbrella” in 2007, he imagined Britney Spears singing it. They had worked together on her 2003 Madonna duet, “Me Against the Music.” But Spears was battling a lot of personal demons when the song was sent over to her team, and they decided it wasn’t worth recording. “Umbrella” ultimately made its way over to Def Jam and a young artist named Rihanna. It hit Number 1 all over the world and turned the singer into one of the biggest stars of her era. If Britney had recorded “Umbrella,” the last 15 years of pop-music history might have unfolded very differently.”

the thing with these things, is that we'll never know. Probably if Britney recorded it, it would've remained an album track in Blackout or something, and nothing would've happened with it.

I disagree. There would’ve been too much controversy (more than there already was) with her paparazzi umbrella incident, and honestly, the song didn’t age well. Neither did Telephone. I’m glad she did

I’ve always wondered what it would have sounded like with Britney signing it.
