I don’t know what is up with the song Umbrella, but.. there has been either a remix, or a cover of it everywhere! I personally love Marie Digby’s acoustic version, because she has the soothing voice to get away with it, but Mandy Moore? Doing a somewhat ballad-y version of Umbrella after having a listen to Marie Digby’s version? Not so impressive.
Okay, here are the remixes and the remakes that I know of:
- Umbrella (remix) by Rihanna featuring Lil’ Mama
- Umbrella (Cinderella remix) by Rihanna and Chris Brown
- Umbrella by Marie Digby
- Umbrella (Yahoo! Music Cover Art) by Mandy Moore
- Umbrella by Scott Simons (thanks for the reminder, Muaz! :D)
We’re just short on a Weird Al Yankovic cover, then maybe he can cheer me up.
For now, this will have to do.
Vespa, espa, espa.. eh, eh, eh. (Via here.)
(In the making of this post, every time I had to type out Umbrella, I have to pause and make sure I’m not spelling out the way Rihanna sang it: “Umberrella.”)
ooh ooh.. you forgot to list Scott Simons’s version.. i like his.. and i read somewhere that he actually wrote the song..
on another note, the cinderella remix is just stupidly annoying.. kinda reminds me of the remix to Big Girls Don’t Cry.. can’t they just stop ruining nice songs already?
Oh, yes! I can’t believe I’ve forgotten him! His version was the first I heard after Rihanna’s, then the Cinderella remix.
Never knew that he wrote the song, though.
And there’s a remix to Big Girls Don’t Cry? :shock:
yep there’s a remix to Big Girls Don’t Cry.. by that dude, Sean Kingston – and god he’s annoying.. must there be another Akon?? and Big Girls Don’t Cry is supposed to be a sad mellow song.. and he changed it, made it sound so cheerful.. it’s just stupid..
Aghhhhhh!!!! *dizzy* ITS LIKE WATCHING BLAIR WITCH PROJECT! Membari mabuk.
Muaz, yes, I had a listen to it, and goodness me. Let’s just say that it’s a big possibility that it’s the first and only time I’m going to listen to that. LOL.
Maurina, hahaha, I didn’t finish watching the video, I just finished listening to the whole thing while I do something else on another tab. ;)
