Rihanna at the time was a very evil woman; very career focused and would stop at nothing to get her way to the top. she wanted to be the next Mariah Carey (of the billboard charts, not of singing). She saw that S&M's sales were slowing down faster than expected. it was like Katy's E.T meltdown, but Rihanna would never document her meltdowns for the world to see. but she was panicking, honey yes she was. "I did not leave my country behind just to flop like this" Rihanna would tell Def Jam "we need to give s&m's a boost". So Def Jam devised a scheme. They would reach out to the two artists in the industry with the worst contracts; aka, the biggest slaves of the industry; Kesha and Britney. Kesha had a horrible contract she could not get out of. it was not a winning contract. and Britney was at the mercy of her conservatorship. Kesha was under mental exhaustion at this point, and was literally not able to get out of bed to record a verse; her team, although evil, was at least able to say no when they saw what bad shape Kesha was in,. Britneys team however, did not care. Britney was whacked out of her mind hopped up on Dr.Pill Popper's drug cocktail during the entire Femme Fatale era. it was sad to watch. it honestly was, I feel so bad for Britney for having to go through with this. her father didnt care. lynn didnt care (dont believe her story now that she always caredfor britey, its a lie). they literally strapped a barely coherent britney to a table to get her upright, and shoved that microphone right in her face. once they got the stems, they brought collaborator Myah Marie in to polish up the vocals, and the remix was shipped. Poor Britney. i hope she never has to record another song again (if she chooses not to). Rihanna was not aware of Britneys mental state, but to be honest, Rihanna thought of Britney like a hamburger; she didnt want to know how the burger was made, just as long as it tasted good. the remix did what it had to do, gave Rih another #1, but at what cost?
RihFenty20 Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 I mean yes, nobody uses that version. It was only there to secure the number 1 after being blocked for 2 weeks
orange22 Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 I didn’t realize there was a remix until a few years ago. They always played the solo version on the radio.
