I've just been watching "Umbrella" on YouTube a few times. Two _huge_ performance details:
1) The way she says "baby" as a triplet intro the second half of the first verse is crucial; it rhymes the just-said "maybe" but in an elegant way that drives the song forward.
2) You have to have your timing *down* to go from the "ella ella ella/ eh eh eh" right into the bridge and make it feel natural; the bridge lyrics come quick and since the orchestration completely clears out, you have to have full confidence when you start to sing the bridge, since if you're not there and meaning it, it shows in a major way.
These are the places where you sort out the flyshit and the pepper.
