'Umbrella' was written by the Dream for 'Blackout' from Britney's perspective and the song was about his kids. Britney was the executive producer of the album and she turned it down, which was a good decision. Can you imagine a song like 'Umbrella' on an album like 'Blackout?'

Wasn't 'Umbrella' a ballad when it was offered to Britney? I believe reading something like that.

Foolish moves.

The thing isn't the song is the promo. For example, Umbrella's with Britney it would flop because of she couldn't make promo this time, because she had some problems, you know. S.O.S. would flop with Christina Millian because anybody knows here, same Chrisette.
