I just think Who Knew has a huge potential but it's not well-used! This song is a soft song that never gets on someone's nervs so it could last very long
Now if WK doesnt get released in the US, people will look at her after UUH is hits the radio "oh gosh nothin serious anymore! just makin party songs" and stuff like that! Who Knew is a really good way to show her serious side but LWTH is way much better ;)

According to this, Who Knew has become one of the most added songs to US radio. It's toped the list...
PINK Who Knew 2 30 STACIE ORRICO I'm Not Missing You 2 28 K.T. TUNSTALL Black Horse & The Cherry Tree 2 26 TEDDY GEIGER These Walls 3 25 SEAN PAUL (When You Gonna) Give It Up... 1 19 CODE RED Summer Jam 2 19 PARIS HILTON Stars Are Blind 2 17 KELIS Bossy 1 12 ASHLEE SIMPSON Invisible 1 12 EAMON (How Could You) Bring Him Home 1 11
I don't get it. Yes it's increased its spins but... not by that much... unless alot of new stations have added the song over the weekend?

New peak on itunes ... #39 on pop. Not that great but it's good to see the song moving up ... it will have to enter the top30 on pop before make its debut on the overall chart ... with some more airplay, I am sure it can make it!

I FORCED 2 of my friends to join us at Pink's concert last night. They never cared much about Pink before and that was the reason I had to take them with me. "Surprise", "surprise" ... I just got a 'thank you" message from them ... the fuckers had a blast and they love my girl now. Their favorite song? ... this one! :) By the way, Pink got very emotional at the end of the song and left the stage for a couple of minutes ... unless she wanted to go have a cigarette.

Nevermind, I just read up on it (google is my friend)!
FIRST ARTICLE:
"Spin magazine caught up with Pink and asked the singer if it pissed her off watching Linda Perry go on to work with Christina Aguilera and Courtney Love. "At first it did--I'm not gonna lie," she admitted. "I can be very possessive. But I've cured that part of myself through her. I am really happy for her. Truly. It wasn't that she was successful working with other people, it was how it was done--sneaky and kind of egotistically and just wrong."
SECOND ARTICLE:
"In the new issue of entertainment weekly. Linda Perry is usually crafter of top 40 smashes (including “Stripped”’s biggest track, “Beautiful”), But as Aguilera’s co-conspirator on the less comercial half of Basic, she admits, “I don’t even know if any of my songs are hits. But nobody makes albums anymore, and that’s why it was a pleasure to work on this, because Christina didn’t want just to make a bunch of singles. When she came to me with this idea, she had it all exactly mapped out. She put a CD [of influences] together, and wrote a two-page thing why she likes Billie Holiday, Why she likes Nina Simone. I said, count me in. If she said, “I want to do stripped again, because I sold a lot of records, Write me another “Beautiful,”‘ I would’ve told her the same thing I told P!NK: ‘We did it-that’s it, I don’t need to do that again.’ But this was a ballsy move."
Sounds to me like "Who Knew" could be about Linda Perry. Here's why:
1) 3 years ago (roughly the time when their friendship would have ended) 2) You took my hand, you showed me how (a reference to Linda mentoring Pink)

I don' know if they are still friends or not but Pink didn't forget to mention her name at her concert the other night. She also sang Perry's old group (4 Non Blondes) song "What's Up" ... I love that song!

This song is so epic (it reminds me of Smashing Pumpkin's "Tonight, Tonight".... it doesn't sound like it, but it is epic in the same way with the guitars and strings)... I hope it can get a second wind and become a hit.
My favorite Pink song previously was "Just Like a Pill", but I like this song much better. Whether this song becomes a hit or not, in my opinion Pink got the last laugh at Linda Perry, because "Who Knew" is better than "Just Like a Pill", "Beautiful", and "What You Waiting For".
And I love all those songs... but "Who Knew" is better. And it's funny (and sad) that "Who Knew" is probably about Pink's dissapointment in Linda.

Linda wasn't even involved in "Just Like A Pill" (or "Don't Let Me Get Me" and "Family Portrait"). I don't understand why she gets so much credit for "M!ssundaztood" when only the lead single had any involvement with her in. Sure, she did a lot of the album, but the singles are what sold the album at first.

It's funny that "Who Knew?" is #11 in European Airplay.

Absolutely, with or without radio, Pink kicks ass! I like the facy she's been getting some attention for being smart. I love how these articles think it's a shame she isn't doing well.
