Rihanna's Handlers Still Trying To Turn "Umbrella" Into The Ultimate Mash-Up Fodder


Tonight's Brit Awards didn't just serve as the latest stop on Amy Winehouse's during-rehab Rehab Tour: the ceremony also had a segment where Rihanna interpolated "Umbrella" with the Klaxons' "Golden Skans," the latest incidence of her formerly ubiquitous hit being smooshed together with a song from a different genre/era. But did melding the track with the "Shattered Dreams" soundalike really work? I'm unsure, although I should note that said uneasiness didn't really hit me until "Golden Skans"' "ooh-ooh-oohs" kicked in—and I'm pretty sure Ri-Ri's somewhat challenged enunciation didn't help my overall perception much. For comparison's sake, the version Rihanna performed with the Time last week at the Grammys is after the jump. More »

The Bestest Possible Grammy News Ever (That Has Nothing To Do With The Damn Strike)

For the longest time we thought it was just a rumor floating around the Internet thanks to rabid Morris Day fans, but the only reason not to spend Feb. 10 at the bar (or at least the only reason to remember to set the DVR before leaving for the bar) is finally, officially confirmed:

And in a special 50th anniversary moment, Rihanna will perform with the Time, which is reuniting for the occasion.

ZOMG. If this means a live version of "Don't Stop The Music," then it will totally make all of the agonizing pauses and flubbed transitions and cringeworthy ad libbing totally worth it. Okay, it won't at all, but still: the Time!
