Mandy Moore Gets Herself an Umbrella

You know that Rihanna song you’ve been hearing all summer? The song which has spawned it’s own line of ridiculous rain gear? That song you want to hate but can’t quite deny the catchiness factor?

Well, someone else has reluctantly admitted it’s awesome.

Mandy Moore, one of those “normal” celebrities who doesn’t whore herself out or shove drugs down her throat, recently covered the pop hit of Summer 2007, doing it a cool, folky justice.

Her low-fi, breathy interpretation gives the song an emotional punch, and the absence of anyone dancing in pointe shoes as liquid steel rains down allows the listener to actually appreciate the lyrics.

…I’m still not buying one of those umbrellas, though.
