Mary J. Blige has insisted that she is glad to have missed out on the chance to record 'Umbrella'.

The singer revealed last month that Rihanna's hit track was initially offered to her. She has now claimed that the song was too "mainstream" for her.

"I'm not going to chase what [mainstream] fans like," Blige told WENN. "It might work for a Mariah. It might work for a Beyonce. But Mary J. Blige is looked at as some sort of organic thing."
