Umbrella is actually a really good song, aside from the fact that Rihanna's performed the original version (whom I actually like a lot), it's an awesome song from a musical standpoint, it has a great melody. I mean, there are so many covers of that song, it's just a testament that Umbrella itself is a great piece of writing. Mandy Moore, Plain White T's, Scott Simon and others have covered the song, there's tons of covers up on YouTube.
Don't knock a song because you don't like the way it was produced and performed, there a lot great songs from a writing stand point that don't always have the best production.
And besides, Umbrella will be remembered more often than most of Vanessa's work, I gaurantee that, and it's only because Rihanna's more popular. *Shrugs*
I only used "Umbrella" as an example because it seemed to fit the hot-for-the-moment song idea, whereas V's music won't be dated largely because she tends to fly under the radar a bit and aside from ATM, her music doesn't get played until your ears bleed, you know?
And yeah, I have to admit, I did pick on Rihanna for the most part because I can't stand her "music".
I really should have thought it out more before I said "Who will remember it" because many people probably will, I just don't think Rihanna's music itself will stand the test of time the way V's does, despite popularity.
I just really need to go to bed and stop bothering people with my miscommunications. lol
One of those things that sounds way better in your head haha.
I'll use a different example, and people will probably agree with this one more:
Who will remember "Beautiful Girls" by Sean Kingston in 10 years from now?
Anyway, was anyone else kind of unimpressed by this "behind the scenes" excluding the parts where V and Irv talked? It just seemed like the creators said what everyone had already known about the video (ie, "there will be special effects")
But even somewhat boring press is good press, right?
And last, thank you Hazy Eyes for posting this!
