As the radio edit says, "It's Britney, dear."

Britney! "It's Britney, dear" - seriously? Oh dear.

Rihanna seems to not want to release any of the reallty good songs on her album as singles, apart from 'Umbrella'. 'Hate That I Love You' is at least better than 'Shut Up And Drive' but the best ballads on GGGB are clearly 'Cry' and the title track.

Haha no I made it up. I expect the radio edit just leaves the intro off.

Hits!TV plays a dialling tone instead.

I find that a LOT of pop records do that, the totally awesome songs very seldom end up as the first single. Kylie and Girls Aloud are super guilty of this in particular.

Madonna also often seems to have the second single be the huge one. (Didn't we talk about this sometime?)

Whut? Which one is 'Cry?' My pirate copy either has it mislabelled or flat-out doesn't have it.

It's a bonus track on the UK edition - here you go (http://www.zshare.net/audio/4401936a060391/). Might be labelled wrongly, the file seems to be called umbrella.mp3 (but comes up in itunes as 'Cry' so er um I dunno!) but it's GREAT - brilliant lyrics, the first verse rings v true.
