Rihanna's Umbrella love
Sep 2, 2007, 13:00 GMT
Rihanna still isn't sick of her song 'Umbrella'.
The track - the first single from her latest album 'Good Girl Gone Bad' - was a worldwide hit and despite being constantly played on TV and the radio, Rihanna still loves hearing it.
She told BANG Showbiz: "I can still listen to it, and do all the time. I love playing it live. I can't wait to get to the end of the show so I can sing it."
Rihanna previously revealed she battled Mary J. Blige to get to record 'Umbrella'.
The stunning star loved the song as soon as she heard it but was devastated when she heard Blige wanted it as well.
So, Rihanna used all her charms to convince the songwriters to give it to her.
She revealed: "Any songwriter would die for Mary to sing one of their songs. So I just prayed that I got it. It was perfect for me - it had a West Indian groove.
"When I saw one of the songwriters at the Grammy Awards, I went up to him and said, 'Listen, 'Umbrella' is my song.'
"He must have thought I was really pushy and laughed it off. But I held his face and I turned it back to my own, 'No, I'm serious, I need 'Umbrella'!' "

Rihanna ist eine fantastiche sängerin,die sich lange lange ddurchboxen wird,....Sie ist mit ihren,gerade mal 19-Jahren eine weltweit bekannte saengerin,auf hohem niveau.da haben die Deutschen Stars alle zusammen keine chance gegen sie.Schade das es in deutschland keine gibt,die so gut ist wie sie,keine oder keiner kann sich mit ihr behaupten.
