Mary J. Blige has insisted that she is glad to have missed out on the chance to record 'Umbrella'.

 

The singer revealed last month that Rihanna's hit track was initially offered to her. She has now claimed that the song was too "mainstream" for her.

 

"I'm not going to chase what [mainstream] fans like," Blige told WENN. "It might work for a Mariah. It might work for a Beyonce. But Mary J. Blige is looked at as some sort of organic thing."

 

So, she didnt want a song that'd be #01 for 10 weeks?!? :lol:

lol my thoughts exactly. who wouldn't want the fabulous Umbrella? :wub:

Her label would probably think differently :lol:

I couldn't imagine her singing Umbrella, anyhow.

Me neither. And don't listen to the press, guys. I'm sure Mary isn't harping on about it half as much as they've made out.

I hope otherwise she is going to start getting on my nerves...if you're not bothered, don't go on about it. Who mentioned it first in the first place?

but I bet if Blige would sing that wouldnt be #1 at all in UK

She could do with a hit afterall. :o
