When you’re arguably the hottest pop singer in the world, songwriters fall all over themselves to be able to work with you. And Britney Spears may have let all of that flattery give her an ego that has caused some pretty serious professional blunders.
For instance, remember that song “Umbrella?” Of course you do, it just played on your radio about five minutes ago. Well, according to Tricky Stewart, the song’s creator, Brit was offered the song (which eventually spent all kinds of time at #1 in a myriad of countries) and never got back to him.
According to Taio Cruz, a British singer/songwriter, “I was working with Tricky in his studio the day he finished ‘Umbrella’. As soon as I heard it I said: ‘That is a smash, I have to have it,’ but he told me it was on hold for Britney. He waited but Britney’s people never called him back.” BIG MISTAKE
And speaking of big mistakes, Ne-Yo also has some songs on hold for the pop tart, but she’s kept him hanging for awhile as well.
Ne-Yo told press, “There were two songs that Britney really, really liked and I told them that I would set those two songs aside and nobody would hear them until Britney Spears’ voice was on them. This was a few months ago and I haven’t heard anything from them since.”
Three cheers for bad business decisions!
