What are some of the artists that have bad ears? What I mean by that is they don't have good ears when selecting their production or rejecting songs that were hits. Like for example my fave Kat Deluna, last year she released her single "Stars", it's sounds like a cheap FL Studio from 2006. All her CURRENT songs sounds stuck from the PAST. She needs to find someone with a good ear for hits to select her songs/demos. She has a nice voice
Also, I've read somewhere that Leona Lewis rejected Stronger which is now Kelly Clarkson's smash hit. Like girl? Did that song NOT scream HIT RECORD to you?

To be fair the demo version isn't anywhere near as good as the final product. Kelly changed the lyrics and modified the music a bit. It was a lot better afterwards .
To answer the question. Didn't Leona pass up on a Rihanna or Bey song too or something?
Avril passed on Breakaway, I mean she wrote it, but she didn't officially release it.
Nicole Scherzinger turned down We Found Love and Crazy (Gnarls Barkley) apparently. She also turned down Just Dance when part of the PCD's .

Hm
Bionic comes to the mind. The sound is just... You Lost Me should be the direction she should go.. the rest is a mess. Such a shame, she got the best voice in the world and threw it away that era.
This isn't a shade thread, these girls have flawless vocals. It's just the production/songs they choose to reject are AMAZING, but the songs they keep are bad imo.

Just Dance!?! Really!?! I thought Lady Gaga kept that for herself, I didn't know she shopped it around to other girls before keeping it
I would've snatched that song up quick if I was a pop star and that song landed on my lap

Yeah, I'm sure they did. Before Gaga became big. I read it in an interview before. Also Gaga opened for the PCD's on tour before she was famous, so there's a connection there too.

She never had Halo, Ryan gave it to Beyonce but approached Leona's label with it too just incase Beyonce didn't want it and Leona's team went mad for it and wanted it, but Beyonce finally decided to keep it and Leona's team (ie Simon) weren't best pleased with Ryan apparently.
As for We Found Love she was keeping it, but Calvin wanted it released as the first single and Leona didn't, she wanted to release Trouble, so Calvin toured with Rihanna and eventually gave it to her, so she did make a mistake their but she never passed on it.
Leona recorded Burn by Ellie Goulding for Glassheart, was keeping it and even sent it out on a promo cd to reviewers etc, but when the album got delayed she decided to dump it for some reason, maybe because they decided they no wanted Leona doing as much dance music after Collide failed to take off.
She did pass on Impossible by Shontelle though, which I think would have been huge for her. And I am pretty sure their are a couple other songs but my mind has went blank.
I do think she has bad ears though, as she does record songs but releases the less commercial tracks, how she chose to release Trouble over We Found Love, or even these smashes from the album, I will never know.
Those were worldwide smashes, especially Glassheart.
Everybody, stop saying Leona rejected We Found Love. Calvin Harris just backstabbed Leona and gave it to Rihanna. And it's everything about the songs' quality. It's about music videos and popularity.
