Billboard.com writer Mariel Concepcion (hey M!) has a short piece on singer/songwriter The Dream (the guy who wrote “Umbrella”) which details a bit of R&B-teenybopper beef for all you kiddies….
Apparently, Chris Brown told Vibe Magazine that that absurd J.Holiday #1 hit song “Put you to bed,” written by the Dream, was originally supposed to be for him. To which the Dream says…
“The track was considered for Chris Brown — he thought it was his — but it was my record and I decided to give it up to J. Holiday,” explains the Dream. “Chris said the record won’t be No. 1 unless he’s on it. I bet someone $500,000 that it would go to No. 1 and I collected my money just last week.”
Now, the Dream says he has no plans of ever collaborating with Brown. “He said the wrong thing to me,” he offers. “He has a track from me now that I was paid for already and I want to give him his money back. At the end of the day, I’m big on principle and loyalty. Put that to bed.”
Ooo, he even used his own song title as a zinger at the end! Double-pow. Well, good for the Dream, actually. He stood up for his product and won. And now he’s got his own hit song to boot.
But for the record, I can’t stand the song or the fact that I have to call a grown man, “The” anything.

that dude is GARBAGE , anyway. He’s gonna found out real soon that Chris Brown has some crazy a$$ fans…. But on the real he has to start beef and hope that it will help his singing career. But I think he sucks and has no business singing. He should stick to producing records…

The dream did the right thing though. I couldn’t imagine chris brown singing that song and for the fact that he wasn’t humble in the 1st place.

Listening to his “Lac” CD, shit is mad corny, which means there are a lot of corny girls (key word girls) out there. J “lacs” longevity, creativity, or even a third single.
my bad. longevity is a thing of the past in the biz today.

Dream (aka fat face) needs to have more than 2 hits songs and needs to quiet down a bit…Any1 who saw Chris Brown perform anywhere (but especially at the last VMA’s)…knows that kid is a star and that he’s gonna be in the game for a long time.
Also he seems to be the most humble, down to earth one out that whole “new”crop of R&B singers that came out around the same time he did. I’m not into R&B like dat but dats just my outlook.
Right now only ppl ahead of him are R. Kelly (Mr. Piss on yo kids), Usher (Mr. having A MID-LIFE CRISIS in my early 30’s) and J. Timberlake (Ms. Info’s fav….but lets be honest he’s a culture pirate….Elvis 2.0 if u will).

“Bed” should have been Usher’s come back record. I hear him on that track.
Miss Info its a beautiful song!

October 3rd, 2007 at 2:39 pm
Hold on people that song bed wouldn’t be good for Chris brown (doesn’t go with the image he is trying to put out) Remeber he is a “VIRGIN” But to be honest I do like that dream son (cuz i ain’t going to call him “The Dream”) but his voice doesn’t fit his body its like mike tyson’s voice where the hell is the base he is to dam big to sound like a 14 year old boy. When I first heard the sound I thought it was a new lil kid til I saw the video and was like what the hell. Anyway I could see Usher doing that song. But if you havne’t noticed Chris Brown may not be the best vocialst but dam he can put on a show. So he will have staying power off that alone. Oh and to @boogie As long as Dream (really ain’t going to call him “The Dream”) can write hits he will never go away cuz you can put anyone in the booth to sing a song but how many people can actually write a hit. Plus you get more money for writing then singing. My motto “YOU CAN KEEP THE FAME JUST GIVE ME THE MONEY”

Justin Timberlake ain’t ahead of Chris Brown in my eyes. Justin has one of the most ordinary voices in r&b. Anyway this is how I rate these r&b artists that have some fame:
R. Kelly obviously the King.
Usher is the Prince. Great voice and dancer.
Omarion’s Icebox was incredible when i heard it.
Ne Yo is bland but I liked Because Of You.
Trey Songz. When I heard him sing that Hook for Summer Wit Miami with Jim Jones. That boy got a lot of potential and hopefully they can put together a good project for him.
Robin Thicke that’s the real blue eyed soul music.
Chris Brown has the most potential though. Wall 2 Wall and Kiss Kiss are amazing, I am not sure what they are doing on the charts but those are 2 underrated songs.
Justin is top 10 though U can’t deny My Love he had a great chorus on that but its Tims and Danja’s production that really elevate that music, same with Nelly Furtado her album was incredible. Nelly has a really nice unique voice though she is not strictly r&b.
The Dream, Umbrealla was the pop song of the summer so he deserevs props on that we will still wait to see what else he can deliver us.

I don’t know. I wouldn’t call bed a good song. I think the “eh’s” are just there to make up for the fact that the singer can’t really harmonize.

i think the song was to grown for chris because hes only 18.

I dont see Chris brown doing a good job vocally on BED. It was perfect for J holiday. PPl who are hating on the dream need to stop it, dude has penning skills and that alone will keep him in the game. On another note Chris brown will be around for a long time, dude is a great performer. Last but not least, Gunshi ppl, HE MAY BE WRITING FOR YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST..DONT 4GET.

on Oct. 2…”sleep” or w/e…spelled “UMBRELLA” wrong…and besides..that’s not even by J.Holiday…that’s not even by a MALE. It’s by RIHANNA, A FEMALE…WOW…what a lame.
well, put simply.
THE Dream, Chris Brown, & J.Holiday are ALLLLL making their money…so @ the end of the day, does any of this really make a difference?!?! no. lol
CB will just sing someone else’s material.
TD can write for someone else.

January 3rd, 2008 at 2:34 am
…Hmm, so I see we have a dumb ass commenting (i.e. KK who wrote on December 27th). I think “Sleep” was making note that Dream wrote Rihanna’s “Umbrella” as well as J. Holiday’s “Bed”- and if I might add both were chart topping hits. Guess that went over your head…hmm…so now who’s lame? Probably you for not being able to decipher that! lol But I concur, indeed all three artist are “making their money” and are good in their own rights. I’d also agree with others that vocally Dream is not the greatest, but peep his album! Tracks 2 through 8, hands down they’re the shit-shit-shit-shit-eh-eh-eh! lol His big butt can write.
Oh, and Chris Brown’s young behind can sing but sometimes I can’t stand seeing his tall ass dancing all around-look like a praying mantis or something.

First of all..all ya’ll need to stop hatin on J holiday and the Dream. There is no way Chris Brown could have sang Bed anyways.. You can’t go from Run It to Bed. He’s not that grown. He still sounds like a teenage kid, it wouldn’t have fit him. And to frankly honest with you. The Dream wrote that song and he can give it to who ever he wants to give it too.. at the end of the day all you hoez and writin hit records for nobody and if Chris can’t write a hit record for himself maybe he should het his ass out the studio!
