2. "Let It Go" by Fantasia?
Poor Fantasia, she is turning into the Patti Labelle of her generation by rejecting good songs. She turned down "Irreplaceable" and made another mistake with Keyshia Cole's "Let It Go". You can debate if "Irreplaceable" would've been a hit for Tasia, but "Let It Go" has Fantasia written all over it. Supposedly, Fantasia rejected the song because she already had too many songs on her debut album. "Let It Go" hit #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was nominated for a Grammy.
8. "Beautiful" by Pink?
While Pink didn't turn the song down, she heard "Beautiful" way before Aguilera, which was written and produced by Linda Perry. Pink begged to record it, but Perry said no. While I love Miss White Mama Soul, Christina Aguilera, I believe the "Just Like a Pill" rock 'n roll chick would have annihilated this song. "Beautiful" could've equally been a hit for Pink. The song charted #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won a 2004 Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
But - Taylor can sang.
5. "You Give Good Love" by Roberta Flack?
The 1985 hit was originally offered to Roberta Flack, but was turned down and sent over to the folks who were working on Whitney's debut album. The song was Whitney's first hit, charting at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Would Whitney's career be the same if she didn't have this first huge hit? While I likeRoberta Flack, I could not see her singing "You Give Good Love"--but don't forget, by 1985 Roberta already had three #1 hits and four Grammys. Who knows...

I can't even imagine Fantasia singing "Let It Go" that would've been an entirely different song.
Talk to y'all lata,
