You know, even if I didnt like this as a single choice, there is no way it should have flopped as badly as it did. (randomish thought) That's what I said. IMO, it deserved to easily make top 30 at least.

IMO, it deserved to easily make top 30 at least. Or even Top 20. It would've worked nicely if this was the follow-up of a successful single, but as we know, unfortunately it didn't happen.

^People are allowed to hate. Yep, this is a flop but I love it! I hear at least once a day on the radio. I wish I could hear it more though.

I like it but it's not really the kind of songs that i'd want to hear during this period of the year. It's doing very well worldwide so I guess some people are feelin' it.

SO many people are feeling it. This song has made many, outside of the US respect Pink even more. They love it! Eevryone, from adults, kids, teens. It's the lyrics that set this song appart. They are beautiful, and really strike a chord with alot of people. And why shouldn't they. My mum relates this song to her seperation with dad. My aunties and uncles love the song because they can relate. As do so many kids my age. Teenagers can relates as they loose friends and friendships often during that time during their life.

#48 -20 :'( It deserved so much more! :'( Well, we all saw it coming I think. It was climbing up WAY too slow and not many stations were adding it. Let's pray radio will get a Q-tip and give Pink the overplay she deserves with U + Ur Hand.

I'm really getting into this song, now. You can relate to what Pink's singing about and that adds onto why we like it. She puts SO MUCH emotion into this song, you know? Anyone know if this song is dedicated to someone Pink knew, who it was, etc?
The "you visit me in my sleep" line gives me chills, everytime.

I still get chills listening to this song. When it comes on I have this film clip in my mind going on. It's my own version. It tells the stroy of two friends. When she sings the chorus after the bridge, when she ripps the song up sop amazingly, the friendship I see comes flooding back into my mind in fast forward. I get chills to this day. And it's been like what, almost three months since the album's release.

I simply cannot understand why this was not a big hit in the US... did she promote it at all?

No, she did not. The whole time "Stupid Girls" was out, she was in Europe promoting. It's like she didn't care about the US. She started promoting after her 2nd single went for adds and was already flopping. Plus, "Stupid Girls" was a stupid choice for a first single. The label wanted "U + Ur Hand" and Pink fought for "Stupid Girls." So, a poor first single choice and not promoting in the US is the reason she is flopping here.

I agree things would be really different if "U + Ur Hand" was the 1st single, but "Stupid Girls" did its job. They went wrong in not promoting WK more.

Exactly. I'm in a silyl mod. SG puts me in a silly mood! HEEEEEEEEEEE
WK puts me in a contemplating mood. This song has made even people over 25, who deem Pink to be a pop princess, look up at ehr and finally take note.

I actually heard this on the radio today! WAOA 107.1 played it earlier when I was in the car, usually I don't get it in but the station came in and Who Knew was on! It's a mainstream hit station but IMO at a lot of the stuff they play they're more Hot AC leaning. www.mmr247.com/mmrweb/AllAccess/Stations.asp?c_let=WAOA-FM I'm about to email them thanking them for playing request it again.

This song had no luck. After it peaked is when she promoting it. She performed it on Letterman last night.

I really like this song. I still don't understand why radio abandoned Pink...she had four singles that were played ALL the time on radio, and then she comes back with Trouble and nothing. Anyway, I have yet to hear this song on my local radio station.

She's not on my local radio station either. ???
Did anyone see her on David Letterman this past week? (i think it was Thursday). She was awesome! You could tell that Paul Shaffer loves her.

I get sad everytime i hear this song and it's not because of the subjects matter. It's because i hate to see this well- deserved hit flopping in the US all because of Pink and her record label :(

Yeah... and Pink was the original Kelly Clarkson... it sucks that Pink has to flop, she should've been the Gwen Stefani of 2006
