Aww don't get mad, don't worry 'cause Britney never got and will never get a bite of Beautiful so you can relax Btw you forgot to specify that Linda was at first reluctant to give her the song 'cause it was so special to her, but Christina kept insisting so much and after she recorded it she decided that she should have the song.

During Christina's Bionic sessions, she mentioned that RCA forced her to record a surefire #1 hit but she had to turn it down because she needed to "connect" to the song and felt no connection with that song RCA was forcing her to record. The song ended up as a #1 hit, but Christina never mentioned what that song is.

Sorry! It's just that the Beautiful story was shoved down every Christina fan for so many years by Linda Perry herself and then I read something like Britney being first offered lol

Lady Gaga wrote the original Fashion for herself, then gave it to Heidi Montag, only to take it back and record it for the confessions of a shopaholic soundtrack. Fashion with Heidi was not successful, which is why I assume that Gaga took it back.

Other people have already acknowledge my other faves rejections

Haha don't worry, your post was funny I love the story of that song anyway, I'm sure Linda wouldn't have given her the song if she wasn't the right singer for it, she gave it to her because her performance on the first recording was on point and perfectly conveyed the song's message.

Calvin Harris: We Found Love
He even recorded a version with his own vocals, would have been even more amazing than the original song

Who knows?

I bet you ten bucks it's My Life Would Suck Without You

Miley turned down Neon Lights (now a Demi Lovato song)

Britney rejected Milkshake, Umbrella and Telephone

All of them smashed

"You're Beautiful" was originally set to appear on Debbie Gibson's Electric Youth, but the label thought it needed more crooning British guy, and thus it went to James Blunt.

Rumor has it that Nicole Scherzinger's original cut of "Gangnam Style" was some sort of next-level awesomeness. Cause with that last name and a "Puakenikeninakanakawakawaka" being something that actually exists somewhere in her discography, there's no way she couldn't have successfully wrestled her way through three and a half minutes of Korean. Preparations were made for an offical single release and a VMA pre-show performance, but she pushed for "Whatever U Like" to be released instead, which (not that I need to remind anyone) went on to become one of the year's biggest hits. No great loss for the HBIC.

My friend has an early version of "Mr. Saxobeat" featuring an unenthusiastic Natasha Bedingfield. She passed it along to the Cheeky Girls, who in turn passed it along to O-Zone, who in turn passed it along to Inna, who in turn passed it along to Alexandra Stan. PM me if you want a copy.

Shania's "That Don't Impress Me Much"? Originally offered to these ladies(?):

Can someone inform me of all of Leona's ?

Receipts!

I guess it's 3.

TLC turned down HMBOMT. Bey's rejected songs have already been posted. Idk what songs Mariah, Whit, Aaliyah, Kelendria, Minnie Riperton, MJ, or Dawn Richard have rejected or if they're any other songs TLC rejected

Nicole rejected all Will and Anthony Preston the songs on BJ reportedly

Britney rejected Telephone and Umbrella. Both ended up becoming huge hits.

Sorry, my apologies. I've edited my original post!

I always get those two tracks confused for some reason even though I have them both on my iPod and listen to them all the time... it seems my brain isn't functioning!
