21 Hit Songs Originally Written for Another Artist

7 Sings You Didn't Know Written By Sia ►► • 7 Songs You Didn't Kno...
For all your music needs ►► bit.ly/ClevverM...
It’s hard to imagine our favorite hit songs being sung by any other artist other then the original. Or at least the “original” we’ve grown to love! These mega hits literally shaped the careers of some artists and without them, they probably wouldn’t have become what they are today. Take “Baby One More Time” for example. Where would Britney be if she hadn’t entered our lives in pigtails wearing that schoolgirl outfit? And guess what, she almost didn’t sing that song because it was meant for a different artist!
In fact there are a butt ton, 21 to be exact, hit songs that were written for another singer other than the ones who actually made the songs famous. So you know we had to make a video about it.
1. Hit Me Baby One More Time
2. Umbrella
3. Telephone
4. Halo
5. Gold Digger
6. S.O.S.
7. We Cant Stop
8. Disturbia
9. We Found Love
10. Don’t Cha
11. Boom Clap
12. Since U Been Gone
13. Rock Your Body
14. I’m A Slave For You
15. Boys
16. How Will I Know
17. Nothin’ On You
18. I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing
19. Let’s Get Loud
20. Toxic
21. All About That Bass

[@alizeb211]

I could see pink singing since you've been gone

[@ItsAsparageese]

+Alize B Yeah I honestly think that could have been amazing. I have no problem with the existing version, and I'm biased as a Pink fan, but I think she would do it really well. It would be super cool if she covered it.

[@gloriatrevino1030]

I always thought she WAS the one who sang it. but back then I didn't songs could be passed between artists

[@AviarTatem]

That's exactly what I said!!!! That song would have been PERFECT for her lol

[@Nykeria-oz8mn]

ikr that have perfect for her

[@kimmi9944]

yes omg

[@xMlleCheerry]

Am I the only one who tried to imagine the songs with the voice of the other artist ?

[@peytonhamann6407]

Me, your not the only one

[@michaela1296]

+Peyton Hamann you're*

[@alexrcastaneda]

+Della I so did the same, I tried to Imagine Pink singing it!

[@lissedog5]

+Alexis R Castañeda Yesss i suppose Pink would be able to sing Since U Been Gone perfectly too just like Kelly

[@aracelymunoz5928]

SO DID I🙉

[@xXxjxXx-ww3et]

I don't think I can EVER imagine Beyonce singing all about the base

[@skaeity]

Yeah it would be terrible frankly.

[@Lol-cv6dt]

I'm pretty sure it was for Rhianna even though they said Beyoncé. I heard them say Rhianna on the radio once when they were talking about it

[@wbraciak]

I thought I heard it was considered for Adele as well

[@ricog8209]

+Will Braciak No way I can even imagine adele doing that song . she's much too reserved.

[@TheRealAmythyst]

I mean it's a catchy song but it's so cheesy really Adele and Beyonce sing that song I would be upset with them it doesn't even have a true vocal range

[@MsRealitytvfan]

honestly, just because these songs were hits, doesn't necessarily mean they would have been hits with anyone. lol just my opinion 😊

[@cchh1]

Agreed

[@chaileywarren9635]

i agree...

[@emelietalledo896]

+DVRTY RVG LVRD So? What's wrong with being gay?

[@a1axel738]

Emelie Talledo nothing. What does that have to do with Anything?

[@rollingapples6579]

I disagree in the case of an artist like Meghan Trainor-who wasn't known before All About That Bass. If someone else had sang it, it would've been a hit either way.

[@AbirsVlog]

Pretty sure Pink would have sung "Since You've Been Gone" to the same standard as Kelly :)

[@sildiu]

true dat

[@inshalla8990]

Probably way better even :)

[@latersskaters]

cookie-monster ikr

[@alexnajera4812]

wordsofabir yes omg yes I WOULD GIVE MY HEAD TO HEAR PINK SINGING SINCE U BEEN GONE OMG

[@martasorangeberry]

So does Rihanna write any of her music? It's doesn't look like it...

[@user-zh1nm9mq9v]

A singers job is to sing, not song write

[@laur3n14]

Lucy MTV yes, because if you write your own songs you are a singer-songwriter

[@skurinski]

+Marta Schmidt These are songs producers offered to several artists. Nothing to do with lyrics.

[@jussefosman]

+Marta Schmidt EHM you do know that the 4 tracks named above are not all of rihannas tracks don't you ?XD because there are 4 songs rihanna didn't write no her own you come with that comment. Why don't you comment that about any other star mentioned in the video :D?

[@martasorangeberry]

Jussef Osman Because I don't know a single song "by" Rihanna which she wrote herself. I think she co-wrote a few songs of her latest album with an army of other people, but she herself did not write a single song in as many albums.

[@cyntiamarcelin3463]

I tried to imagine beyoncé singing all about that bass and it wasn't good😂beyoncé has a voice for R&B AND POP not that 60s vibe the song was giving

[@Nykeria-oz8mn]

ikr

[@beselbic]

+Cyntia Marcelin I think Beyoncé could have done the song justice.

[@gaylehamilton]

+Cyntia Marcelin ikr!!! i commented saying that i mean bey is super talented think am her biggest fan but i just can't imagine her singing that song

[@Hakakuno]

+Cyntia Marcelin Keep in mind that just because the song was pitched to them doesn't mean it would have turned out the same way. The songs are given to their producers who either remaster the song or turn it into something completely different, maybe even changing lyrics. "All About That Bass" probably would have ended up like "Flawless" but you don't need two copies of that song tbh. If Bey got the song, it more than likely would have been turned into a trap song or something in that vein.

[@PetroleumJellay]

Beyoncé definitely would've changed the sound and made it sound sexier. Meghan was really going for that old-timey vibe with her album and the song was pretty bouncy and fun. Beyoncé's 5th album was more minimalist, sensual, and personal. All About That Bass kinda fits the theme but the structure of the song would seem out of place.

[@moe3691]

Well Britney declining a song and then was released by Gaga & Beyoncé... I'm sure she ain't sleeping AT ALL at night...

[@Unoniomus]

She sleeps well because the song she used instead was "3" and made it to #1

[@moe3691]

Marcos Garcia if u're trying to convince someone that anything britney did is better Than Telephone... bro u're wrangu!

[@petrovasbite]

please, you are not God of pop to decide who is better, everybody has different taste in music, just stop...

[@Unoniomus]

Exactly ^ and I never said anything was better, I was defending Brit.

[@AJayMacMusic]

+Mehdii Laghzaoui As if Brit gives a flying F with all the hits and success she's had and still has after all these years! Her bank balance is so huge she probz lives off the interest!

[@darealleelee]

Yet if Beyoncé came out with, "All About That Bass", no one would have been offended by that song....

[@lilyardalan8812]

***** I think that's debatable. Yes, Beyonce is queen and people would much less likely be critical of such lyrics, but I don't think Beyonce would even consider releasing a song with lyrics like that. Beyonce is like the OPPOSITE of problematic, and she has also established herself in the music industry as a legend. Meghan is a newbie, so it's different. Of course she'll face more flack for it. But regardless of who sang it, the lyrics of all about that bass are not as body positive as they claim to be. Not to mention Trainor has a record of being sexist outside of this song too..

[@its.limerence]

***** I don't think people are offended with the song, they just don't like the way it's sang... at least I don't and I think that's the reason people don't like it

[@myname2214]

Why were people offended?

[@shakimaro]

Aniya Martin People were offended because they thought the song was promoting being fat and being negative to skinny women. People will pretty much get offended over anything.

[@myname2214]

Doesn't make any sense. Anaconda was offensive to skinny girls, but all about that bass was just promoting thick girls.

[@Kuyabakas]

One thing is for sure, Rihanna is the queen of rejected songs.

[@laydbakk1]

+Jon Tillas I wonder how she sells any song in the first place...

[@High7daysaweek]

+Kels Bug W

[@graceturner2932]

be that as it may she sure as heck rocked them and you wouldn't have even thought differently until you watched this.

[@royboys9476]

Rihanna would have done a better job with We Can't Stop and Britney would have been a boss with Telephone. Paris would have SUCKED at any song offered to her, but P!nk would have pulled off since you been gone since she and Kelly Clarkson have similar voices with range, power and tone

[@TiradoTirado17]

TheSeraphimCraft The "Telephone" demo is really good with Britney and gaga, totally check it . I'm still waiting for their collab.

[@samj0rden]

Queen of Pop Gaga and Queen B have done the best job on telephone

[@steveeidem7659]

Come on now, we know that Miss Hilton is worth a trillion bucks, and that she really doesn't give a fuck. :P

[@dessythatmessyb-]

I agree with you those songs would have been amazing for the peopke they were originally made for.

[@royboys9476]

Destiny Pouncy IKR!

[@eldonmati]

Leona Lewis has missed so many chances to be famous lmaoooooooooooooo it's hilarious but a little sad too

[@toonstoons]

Steven Matthews

[@ErinLuxe]

OKAY.... It's weird because "All About That Bass" has that certain "old time" unique tone to it. Like a 50's or 60's vibe. You know what I'm saying, right? Not only does All About That Bass have that tone, but *all* of Meghan's other songs have that certain "old time tone" too. Literally... all of them. So I wonder if the *original* version of All About That Bass sounded toooootttalllly different. Like more R&B/pop. Something that Beyonce would sing, you know? Then Meghan & her team got ahold of the song... & tweeked it to have that "old timey sound". I bet that is the case. #CONFUSED

[@ChestneyChiller]

Megan wrote that song. It's hers. She wasn't famous when she wrote it, her job was to write songs for other people. Like the video said beyonce's people turned it down so she sang it herself

[@melzb3891]

yea Beyonce turned down the song because she felt she didnt have the right apperance for the anthem.

[@jussefosman]

+Mele Juntz no :D she was shootin with jay z at that time. truth be told people

[@jussefosman]

+guinness4life I gotch' :D thought the same

[@awkndr1524]

But 'Like I'm Gonna Lose You' was not old-sounding.

[@davieroisman989]

Thank God Beyoncé turned down All About That Bass. This song wouldn't fit her one bit... It's awful

[@GodsFaveSim]

Would've loved to hear Hilary's version of boom clap ❤️

[@MistyKingma]

Totally agree.

[@mayacordalia]

To me that would have been perfect for her.

[@sharkasm2349]

No Charlie pulls it off perfectly can't improve perfection

[@lexiiplayss282]

Am I the only one who can't imagine Beyònce singing all about that bass?🤔😶😂

[@squashedpotatoe4702]

Oml imagine 😂😂

[@LilLeanCuisine]

Yeah I can't either. I think that's a lie

[@akshayababu1817]

I actually heard that it was supposed to be Adele who was going to sing that song but Beyoncé and All About that Bass don't mix well

[@FantasyRose]

doesn't seem like a good idea

[@davemusicinca]

I don't think All About That Bass would fit Beyoncé actually

[@davemusicinca]

She's obviously great great singer but I think the song suits Meghan's vocal more

[@rtmusicvideos431]

Especially since she refers to women as "skinny bitches" in the song, and Beyonce is too body positive to ever sing something like that.

[@brunotanda4384]

i think it was i can imagine beyonce voice going well witht the song plus beyonce loves girl dancers in videos

[@carldanniel2000]

Rakhil T. After she said "skinny bitches" she also said in the music video "nah im just kidding"....

[@rtmusicvideos431]

Danniel Del Rosario That doesn't excuse the offensive remark she made. It's like when people say "no offense, but" and then continue to say the mean thing they were going to say, anyways. They think it softens the blow, but it's just as mean. Also, right after she said she's "just kidding" she went on to say "I know you think you're fat but you're not." This line assumes that all the "skinny bitches" think they are fat. This line of thinking makes two mistakes. First it presupposes that being fat is bad. She assures them they are not fat. But what if they really are? What's wrong with that? Secondly, the line gives the impression that the "skinny bitches" she refers to are really not that skinny, and are ones with psychological issues that make them think they are fatter than they really are. She comforts those women. But what about the women who are actually skinny, and know they are skinny and are okay with it? Is that suddenly wrong? That is a pure case of skinny-shaming. In one line, she manages to both skinny AND fat shame. Congratulations, Meagan Trainor! Instead of creating an uplifting song about body image you managed to do the exact opposite.

[@stefancalinhadar]

I REALLY wish Kylie would've taken Toxic😭😭

[@cookingandtrickswithmarios3779]

+Stefyy Hadar she thought it was a bit sluty for her taste...so she reject it.

[@ryanpena2829]

Um no

[@ImmaculatePatw]

+Stefyy Hadar But you do know that Kylie's 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' was actually offered to Britney? I'm glad Britney turned it down, because it is indeed Kylie song to the core.

[@persianpkmn]

Toxic is one of Britney's best songs ever

[@shidi852]

People are getting on Rihannah for not writing her own lyrics..... like really, most singers don't write their own lyrics. I'm not even a fan of Rihannah but Def Jams got her at about 16/17 years old because of her VOICE and her LOOKS, not her writing abilities. She was in a little singing group that sung COVERS. She has never even claimed to write her own lyrics. Also that's why there is a career as a Song Writer, like some people have the talent for writing lyrics and some people are good at entertaining. It's amazing to be able to do both and I respect any artist that can, but if you guya are that childish to think that the music industry requires for a singer to be able to write, or even be able to actually sing, then like you have obviously been under a rock.

[@memelala9322]

Preach

[@mary1stcor15v1-4]

foreal. I have a strong talent in writing. I can write in versatile genres and envision who could sing it.... but can I sing? tuh! but I can sing enough to get the vision across.

[@h00kd25]

+Shi Desi Examples of those people are Ryan Tedder, he's such a badass, oh Taylor and Ed Sheeran too, but I'll give Ryan the tittle of best songwritter of the century for sure

[@cchh1]

It's funny how people have double standards, like they accept and respect a songwriter that can't sing, but bitch about a singer who can't write. But no cares if a singer doesn't produce their own album.

[@PetroleumJellay]

People also come after Beyoncé for "not writing her own songs" yet completely ignore the fact that Whitney never wrote a song in her life yet they praise her all damn day. Beyoncé actually wrote most of the songs she sang in Destiny's Child including hits, and she has a writing credit on nearly all of her solo songs! Even notorious songwriters like Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift, and Adele have help on their tracks.

[@marieschmidt5945]

why dont artists write their own songs?

[@natefinn7581]

Well done artists just get offers to sing a song or can't think of any good ideas for a song

[@VinCentiments]

Marie Schmidt Because they are too dumb. lol But at least the world has a few of those *real* artists such as Lady Gaga, Sia, etc.

[@aurabenzi196]

Marie Schmidt some artist more talented in the vocal/performing area (Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez. Beyonce, Rihanna, Janet Jackson) while others are more singer/songwriters like (Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Sia, and Meghan Trainor) and then there are some artist who do both (Lady Gaga, Adele, P!nk) also certain freedom varies from artist to artist. artist who are big single sellers (Britney Spears, Rihanna) are offered songs that are written with the intent to be hits and sell alot of more money for the record label, rather then allowing them to write there own lyrics. Like rihanna writes her album tracks, but usually doesn't write her big hits

[@curtwall7089]

Because its very hard to write songs so hard i personally would love to be a singer my self and i would not bo where to start writing music its not easy what so ever hats off to the people who do and the people who dont but still help make the music come to life

[@moonmoon4893]

Marie Schmidt The ones who doesn't write their own shit are consider as product, that is basically what Aura said, and the others ones are actually ARTISTS, there you have the answer...

[@Str8UpBusiness]

I can see Hilary duff singing Boom Clap and Beyonce singing All About That Bass. I feel like Boom Clap from Hilary would've basically been the same as Charli's version. BTW...Don't play Shawanna bitch

[@janekiller2101]

Has Hillary Duff ever sang a song before I always thought she was an actress

[@ErinLuxe]

Jane Killer she surprisingly has had a lot of hits... this was way way wayyyy back in the early 2000's though. Idk how old you are.. or if you would remember any of them... a lot of them were from they 2002-2005 time frame. I was also 11-14 years old during those years so maybe that's why I remember her songs from back then haha. I know a few of her songs were used for tv show theme songs/intros. Like "my super sweet 16" & "laguna beach"....but those songs were also played on the radio... idk.... she had a lot of hits back in like 2004 or something.

[@belhougoldenwind]

Hilary duff would be huge again if she had sung boom clap , her new album is good but she is not as famous as she was back in the early 2000s

[@jhoward5011]

i can't imagine janet jackson (a black woman) wanting to sing a song about being a slave to someone

[@shaystezzzy]

That's true.. But I always saw the song as in a "sexual" way. So, I see no problem with Janet singing the song.

[@deanfkaseuss]

iKawn eh no...if Janet sang it then it would have left a negative impact on the black community. "sexual " would be the second thing on my mind , at the least. The lyrics "I'm a slave forever" alone, would have been the punch line for any racists out there; probably to this day and beyond. People most likely would've used it to mock african americans

[@shaystezzzy]

Kay Ess Yes, that's true.. But dancing sexy and carrying around a snake was a symbol for the song for Brittney. But if Janet did it, the song would probably be more upbeat and with her (AMAZING) dancing. I think she would have been able to turn the song into something ACTUALLY meaningful. To tell all "Black Woman" to treat your man like your King. It wouldn't mean racism/slavery. Do you get that? I don't know if I explained it well.

[@lebronshairline4768]

What a dumbass

[@zxsas5106]

I knew some of Britney songs we're meant for other people, but i can't imagine Janet singing Ima Slave 4 U... It only fits Britney

[@gymnasticsgrl339]

I'm really glad Megan got 'All About That Bass' because honestly if it came from Queen B (whom I love) it just wouldn't have the same message. Let's be honest Megan has a little more to say about being comfortable with your body then Beyonce because B is curvy and Megan's just a little on the heavier side. P.S. No hate please I love Megan Trainor she's amazing, but I'm just stating an honest opinion. She's not fat, but she's not REALLY skinny. Obviously she agrees, she did take the song after all.

[@oliviabehrle4722]

I actually agree with that a lot. I can't imagine it having the same message or sounding as cool if Beyonce sang it (even though I'm a huge fan of hers).

[@shaystezzzy]

Rihanna popped up a lot in this vid, she's good at choosing hit songs

[@ashniedesir7009]

beyonce would be my second choice...just saying. she isn't all that great to me honestly.

[@benjohnson8963]

Ashnie Desir Yeah I know shes not everyones cup of tea, but at least ur not one of those jerks that says she doesn't have talent. (p.s. Beyhive for life)

[@davidemerald7690]

Shut your ignorant mouth up

[@brettneyxcx6683]

Did you know that lady gaga ft. Beyonce telephone sold the most copies in a collaboration.

[@wondertwice4810]

I just can't imagine Beyonce singing All About the Bass !! 😂😂😂

[@sizzleyou]

Rihanna has a smart management team who pick great songs for her,leading to her successful career.However, she's so overrated given the fact that she doesn't have fantastic vocals and doesn't write her own music.Mad props to her team!

[@laurengreen3240]

Sia originally wrote pretty hurts for katy perry, but she turned it down, then it was offered to Rihanna, but Beyonce took it in the end

[@mythiicx]

I thought Megan wrote All About that Bass by herself. She said so in interviews.

[@lilprodigyn.s3803]

She did wrote it by her own self these guys need to fix there news straight.

[@filmcraft_productions]

The music industry doesn't want you to know that.

[@Night-Shade.]

Sh wrote it for beyonce! But she sang it because Beyonce was already busy

[@lilprodigyn.s3803]

ohh okay lol

[@meluniaxinal2697]

TheQu500 Nice profile picture c:

[@btxties3940]

Mj singing rock your body... I think that would be awesome

[@rodethicong]

it will no difference on JT's take since they are voice-a-like

[@thegreekdeal4747]

Rodeth Icong you never know mj would put his touch on it.

[@habboautust]

Ariana's 'Break Free' was originally for Austin Mahone. There's even a version of it on youtube.

[@MistyKingma]

No way?! Awesome

[@habboautust]

misty what your favorite song atm?

[@roseanneg1642]

But ariana was one of the writers on the song... That's weird

[@michaelajo3902]

Michael Jackson could of sang any of these song if he tried.

[@tyleroakleyfan9731]

He wouldn't even have to try.

[@michaelajo3902]

Tyler Oakley Fan Exactly

[@sharkasm2349]

He wouldn't want to because they are all shit songs

[@magdadrague]

If he would born in 17 century he even would never be in the local choir....

[@rachelk1697]

Magda Draganova Because Michael belong to 2050 ?

[@paullondon6625]

Meghan Trainor is much better than Beyoncé anyway...

[@paullondon6625]

Jaquise Reed INCORRECT... I did and millions agree...

[@user-zh1nm9mq9v]

Ew she's ugly and fat and she can't sing

[@paullondon6625]

Lucy MTV I prefer her looks wise to whoever is in your profile pic. Personal preference.

[@Siabeysment]

+Paul London .....I like Meghan but let's not get carried away..

[@paullondon6625]

Jakarri King I think Beyoncé is utter shite. It's called personal taste. Because I've heard most of her hit singles and some of her albums tracks and think they are rubbish!

[@thenotoriousk.i.m5684]

I like Beyonce but I can't see her singing all about that bass

[@busek_]

all about that bass isint about body positivity if its degrading those dont have the so called "bass" im glad beyonce passed it would have been tragic and disappointing if she went with this song especially since shes so influential it would have given everyone the wrong message.

[@iBlackMamba12]

+Buse Korkmaz It actually would have been better, considering Meghan Trainor wouldn't be popular. Oh and she is just fat.

[@francescahuawei4194]

it's about accepting yourself, it's about not listening to others

[@KittiHorvxth]

I can just imagine Michael singing Rock Your Body!😫😍🔥🔥

[@CuteKovuKitten]

Charlie XCX had a good song called "Just Desserts", which she collaborated on with Marina and the Diamonds (A great artist if you haven't heard of her, you should check her out :) ) it's quite good too >w

[@kingbrandon60]

your comment lost all credibility when you typed "Charlie XCX"

[@roseanderson4741]

I fucking love marina

[@sophisnotfunny7266]

Marina and the diamonds are amazing!!!😍😍 Jest deserts was good, but Marina should have had larger parts

[@lois7364]

Sophia smith marina's perfect. have you all heard what's been released off of froot?

[@sophisnotfunny7266]

Yes I have Lois Clements , I own most of the songs and pre-ordered the album!

[@nameisamine]

BEYONCE WOULD NEVER SING ALL ABOUT THAT BASS THOUGH...BUSY? NAH, SHE TURNED IT DOWN FOR SURE.

[@juannl1987]

toxic would have been perfect for Kylie

[@alikokasma9167]

Party In The USA was written for Jessie J but Miley Cyrus took it and Do It Like a Dude was written for Rihanna but Jessie J took it.

[@MichElle-py8lk]

Jessie J wrote the song but wanted to give in to Rihanna but Justin Timberlake told Jessie J to use the song for her 1st single

[@alikokasma9167]

Yeah I know. Jessie J wrote party in the USA, too.

[@jcpinlac3428]

Miley didn't took it, it was just an opportunity for her to sing it and just to remind you that Jessie J gave it to Miley Queen Cyrus 🌸

[@keirafan4ever]

Jessie J didn't take it, she wrote. Because she writes songs.

[@excentric1989]

I would have liked to hear P!nk sing "Since You Been Gone"

[@charlottestallard6464]

*Hears Michael Jackson's name* *freezes* *fangirls a little* *listens to songs intended for him* "Michael can sing anything and it would sound even better than it already does"

[@arigonz]

Charlotte Stallard I feel that Rock Your Body is inappropriate for him. I'm glad he turned down the song.

[@bagondreamer]

i would've loved to hear Leona's rendition of Halo!

[@The88punisher]

Even thought all about the bass with Megan Tron was good, Beyoncé could've made it better and a bit more dancy! another women's anthem like "Who run the world" and "Single ladies" since she has a lot booty

[@RyanWolf92]

Telephone by Lady Gaga was never number 1 I think if it had been performed by Britney it would have gone to number 1. the song was originally intended for her album Circus as the lead single instead of a Womanizer. Britney's label wanted to use the song as the lead single for The Singles Collection , but Lady said it had to be on Circus. the label said no and Brittany sang the song 3 instead. would have also love to have heard Umbella by Britney Spears

[@kittylissiegirl9162]

+Ryan Wolf I think Gaga should have featured Britney instead of Beyonce on the track tbh

[@RyanWolf92]

Technically it was just for Britney as main artist. Gaga was never meant to sing it

[@TheDavincciful]

+Ryan Wolf i hope you don't forget that lady gaga wrote the song

[@RyanWolf92]

davincci tatchim Yes she wrote the song for Britney I know

[@dandrebsalangsang2304]

+Ryan Wolf The song is too powerful to handle by Brit. Gaga and Bey's voice fit in well. Bad Romance and Telephone peaked on number 2 and 3 respectively on the same time.

[@lexi6905]

Break Free by Ariana Grande was supposedly originally planned for Austin Mahone

[@_jcf523]

+Alexis Smith Really? I could totally see that! Idk if I'd like it as much though

[@phoenixayers1]

Halo should have been sung by leona

[@1997JHH]

Whataya Want From Me by Adam Lambert, but Pink didn't want it?

[@rodethicong]

she later cover it on her greatest hits album

[@erincummins2695]

Pink recorded WWFM during the Funhouse era but didn't make the cut to the album, it ended up on her greatest hits compilation outside the states

[@morgan9702]

if Beyonce did all about that bass she would have gave it a whole different vibe

[@Legallymisunderstood]

I can imagine Pink singing "Since You've Been Gone" it would be awesome if not better

[@NellaWasHere]

Aaaand over half of these hits have great glee covers too ♥ :'D Amazing job Misty, as always!

[@mikalg.7562]

I don't think any of these songs that were past Beyonce's way were really written with her in mind, it seems most probably these song writes just pasted their songs her way hoping she'd actually pick up the song, basically using her name to present their song (and themselves) to a larger audience. Sort of a get rich quick scheme. Beyonce is a very tight nit collaborator and usually works with the same writers on all her music, no randoms.

[@Unoniomus]

She works with randoms lol like Naughty Boy and Gaga. Not tight nit to me

[@mikalg.7562]

+Marcos Garcia Random artists sure but WRITERS no.

[@Unoniomus]

ok

[@joenilly2657]

+Mikal G. So, you and Beyonce are besties?

[@mikalg.7562]

Joe Nilly duh

[@Jacckac]

Wasn't Miley cyrus Wrecking Ball, also intended for Beyonce?

[@ROBLOXCandi]

Yes.

[@thangton1719]

I think Bey would've make it even a bigger hit

[@EV3Gurl]

Thang Ton how does a hit get bigger than breaking records and being number 1 on the billboard chart?

[@thangton1719]

EV3Gurl uhhhh top all charts and sell more???

[@PJEffect]

Thang Ton It couldn't have topped all the charts, it wouldn't have topped country, classical, adult contemporary or world charts because it wouldn't have been applicable to those charts, and Beyonce is hugely over rated as a singer, she's really nothing special

[@shannoncsobiech]

I kinda think only meghan could do all about bass I think meghan's deeper vocals would work.

[@DiamondXena]

I can't see Queen B rocking All About That Bass :/

[@chatgptnewslive2023]

I would want to hear Bey's take on All About That Bass.

[@ciaravee9326]

I think Hillary duff would sound so cute singing boom clap.

[@KDaddyTime]

Read the title. 21 Hit Songs Originally WRITTEN for ANOTHER ARTIST. Wow I guess that doesn't make them an artist does it? That's so fucking stupid. That's like BOOKS WRITTEN FOR ANOTHER AUTHOR

[@preetchhokar]

what selena's come and get it. This song for Rihanna originally.

[@MubinNoor]

As much as I love Queen B, I would have loved Halo through the voice of Leona Lewis! She could have done it equally justice.. ♥And I found a lot of these sad, especially Hilary Duff not getting songs she could have!

[@MG-gi5yr]

also "break free" who was for Austin Mahone

[@awianaophelia8318]

Really

[@MG-gi5yr]

+Awiana Ophelia yes

[@denzrichie]

+Melyssa Mee That would've been so weird

[@TheBritneyMinajSpearsQuartz]

Lol Break Free would’ve made him a STAR

[@sandrajin915]

i'm sorry but All About that Bass is not a Beyonce style song. The eat is cute and fun and it's just not her style. Seriously, could you imagine Beyonce dancing in front of colourful balloons with a ribbon on her head?

[@nickitahhh]

Damn it Hilary Duff you could of sang boom cap..

[@sargamsharma9533]

I'm pretty sure meghan said all about that bass was meant for Beyonce but she didn't have the body the song was about and meghan couldn't find anyone else with the body and the right vocals so she sang it herself cuz she didn't want such a great song to go to waste...

[@jorgeyamilc]

I heard Pretty Hurts from Beyonce was originally intended for Katy or Britneh

[@Galaxcgrl00]

sia wrote it and decided to give it to beyonce

[@paxylAdy]

It was suppose to be for Rihanna then Beyonce heard it and bought it to Sia right away but then Sia just finished writing Diamonds that time then she presented it to Rihanna's people then they bought it.

[@06tc07]

No you didn't put "WHO?" across Shawnnas picture. Y'all need to go back to elementary school of hip-hop and come back when you learn something so you wouldn't embarrass yourself like you just did.... -.-"

[@TaylorRoxz1]

you're probably one out of a handful who actually know who she is. never heard of her and she obviously must not have been that good anyway.

[@06tc07]

Taylor Mitchell Lawdy! Then you know nothing about hip-hop and therefore shouldn't comment on that matter ;) There's a big difference between not being good and being underrated, but I'll explain it to you with a simple example: Iggy Azalea is not good - Shawnna is underrated. Ta-dah!

[@TaylorRoxz1]

I just looked her up. and my opinion stays the same she isn't any good at all.

[@06tc07]

I'm glad you did your research. We've got different taste in music but at least you learned something ;) :thumbsup:

[@PJEffect]

06tc07 My responce would be that she's definitely unknown to the pop charts which is what these people are basing their opinions off of

[@cchh1]

I don't think the artists that passed up these songs missed out on them, because the artist who sang them made it a hit. Think about "Don't Cha," we hadn't seen a girl group with dance moves that exciting before. Paris' ..uh..singing chops aside, if she did that song it's probably be a video of her rolling around looking hot while singing in a Marilyn Monroe "Happy Birthday Mr.President" -esque tone. "We Can't Stop" would have just been one of Rihanna's B-side songs, probably never become a single. "Baby One More Time" lyrics aren't deep enough for TLCs taste. I could see Leona Lewis singing "Halo" beautifully but it'd probably only be popular in the UK since none of her singles are as worldwide recognized as "Bleeding Love." Funny enough Britneys song "Boys" ALWAYS gave me Janet Jackson vibes, even when it came out.

[@prettyricky6135]

Oh I wished Leona would have gotten the song Halo. I'm sorry but she would of put Beyoncé to shame with her vocals.

[@_therealkingj]

Baby One More Time would have been big for TLC!!!!!

[@linkinprk09]

it's cuz your black

[@ParisDeFreitas]

Racist^

[@_therealkingj]

Bitch Bye!!!! I Happen To Be A Fan Of Britney Spears And TLC. No Racist Shit. Also, Baby One More Time Is My Song And I Love It By Her. GTFO!!!

[@ninicamorlinga8351]

Actually all about that bass was never ment for beyonce. Meghan trainor wrote it and ment to sing it and she did. She said it in an interview

[@acevedoyadi]

Since Youve Been Gone wouldve sounded good on P!nk

[@mikalg.7562]

This explains some of the unspoken rivalries and hard feelings between artists in the business. It's like a freakn auction sale!

[@seanwilliams597]

would of been cool to see Beyonce singing all that that base

[@wo0o0o0ho0o0]

beyonce would never shame other women based on their bodies like meghan trainor has done.

[@jasontscott-west6037]

This is why you write your own songs people.

[@pippisippi]

Kanye did NOT write golddigger!! just changed a few lyrics!!
