Call It Divine Musical Intervention: 15 Hit Singles That Were Originally Meant For Other Artists

October 25th, 2012 - By Ashley Page

Songs are rarely written by the artists who record them and it’s no surprise that songs are passed around before it finds it’s perfect recording artist. Here are 15 very popular songs that were meant by one artist but were eventually sung by another.

 

WENN

We Found Love – Rihanna

Rihanna’s collaboration song with Calvis Harris turned out to be a huge hit, but the song was originally meant for Leona Lewis, who apparently recorded the song with Harris as well. The song was never released because Leona wanted a different lead single for her album.

    A lot of these songs are very believable for the originally intended artist. I’m not mad at how they ended up, however.

    Glad Janet turned down “How Will I Know.” That song has some changes in it that only a real singer could make believable. Janet is not that great of a singer. Now Janet could have done one hell of a vid for that song, though.
