P!nk - Whataya Want from Me

[erzo01]

This is included in her upcoming greatest hits album Greatest Hits... So Far!!!. She demoed this one, before this track ended up with Adam Lambert.



This is Adam's version:



Whose version is better? You be the judge! ;)

[David]

I think solo version wise.. Adam's is slightly better. It could be that I'm just used to it though. However, the duet/mashup version is definitely the best. It should have been the real song to begin with.

[llires]

Surprisingly, I prefer the Adam's version.
Her version feels dry to me, like she wasn't really feeling it. Maybe it's because I've already heard Adam's version thought.
And did you guys notice how in Pink's version the lyric goes "he messed me up," and in Adam's version it goes "it messed me up."
I guess he didn't want to alienate radio by making the song be about a guy.

[HereIsGone]

I prefer Adam's version, but for the most part, they're on par. It would be cool if they mixed them together.

[Agent Yoncé]

I like both of them. I wouldn't mind playing either or. But like everybody else is saying, a mash-up would be koo

[Stephen]

P!nk.

I prefer P!nk's, tbh.

[Kii]

If you take into account the reasons behind why pink actually penned this song in the first place, it makes me like it being sung be her that much more. I'm pretty sure if she released it it probably would've gone #1 too. Nevermind.

[Mpol]

Why DID she give this song away? I never heard or understood why.

[C.Ro]

i love both... but adam's version is a bit better... it puts me on a special mood that makes it a little more superior

[Feelin'.$$$hady]

I think the song works better for Adam than for Pink, which is pretty bizzare, 'cause it's a typical Pink song. Something about her vocals annoys me on this song.
The change of the pronoun is lame, i wish he had refused to do it. Than again at least he has a radio hit.

Pink by a mile. Hers is more subdued and she doesn't scream the song at the end to get the point across. I LOATHE the screeching Lambert does at the end. Just bone chillingly bad. :/

Totally agree. That was the first thing that came to my mind when I first heard Pink's version.

I agree with that totally. This was the only song of Adam's that I liked, but that's probably because I like Pink's writing. The part of the song that always bugged me was his yelling at the end, which is fixed on Pink's version. Too bad she didn't keep it for herself for Funhouse, or at least the greatest hits.

[esoteric76]

Adam's screeching is my favorite part! I mean, his range is part of his gift and I'm just happy he shows it off. I feel like his overall vocal on this song is already very restrained for him. P!nk was very smart in giving this song away, but I like her take on it as well.

[Hefty Hanna]

Adam's version is a lot better. As stated, it's kind of weird being this literally has Pink written all over it. It's a very pretty song. She did a great job writing this one.

[Adonis the DemiGod!]

I don't like the P!nk version on any level. It just sounds boring and standard for her. However, it really shows off Adam's personality very well and is very guy-ish at the same time.

[Chaos & Piss]

I can't decide. Adam is too angry on that track that it scares me.

I think the mashup duet would have been perfect.

I heard the original one she did had different production on it. Not sure how much though. I'm guessing she re-recorded it for the GH.

[George]

I like both versions. While I prefer Adam's (probably cause I got used to it), it was nice hearing Pink's version.

[Deleted]

When I heard Adams version I liked it right away, I actually thought of P!nk when I heard it and wished she would release something like this, love the classic guitar sound but a modern song. Anyway, I dig both versions but Im partial to P!nk's.
