Best Pink song ever! (and I personally love it just as much today as when I first heard it)
I really hope radio gives it a fair chance this time around.

This track should have been released after 'Hand' to begin with, but Pink got her way, and that's the way the cookie crumbles.
IMO 'Who Knew' is stronger than 'Happy' or 'Cuz I Can', but either of those should be the follow up if this goes well.
We shall see. Only time will tell. (We all know how 'Hand' was such a creeper, hopefully this works.)

As I told you guys before, after seeing her video, I liked this song much more... still, I think it lacks something of a hook, although it's a great/emotional performance. Anyway, I think it deserves a second chance, but not LATE JUNE!!!! Come on, despite it had almost 2 runs, U+uh is already an old song, so why don't start playing WK mid-May. It already has some popularity thanks to October Road. If Pink plays it in AI, it would be an excellent pretext to research about its popularity days after... if it seems difficult once again, skip it! I don't know how exactly this works for labels, but I would be paying a lot of close attention to this. If it has potential, take advantage for it, but if not, leave it soon! P!nk can not make another risky movement NOW, she was revived, it is still pretty easy to flop again, and if she does it would be VERY difficult (impossible?) for this era to be alive once again...

And speaking of other singles... I saw the video of Nobody Knows... and no, I don't think it's a good choice for a single, sorry. It also flopped big time in UK. I haven't heard LMA yet, I'll try to do it this week, so I have a better opinion... but I like this comment James Masterton (UK charts) made regarding this song, and the way it is unfairly falling off the charts, because it was left as a download-only single. Check it out: "(...) The bigger labels are certainly keen to experiment with the concept of digital-only singles promotions although it seems to be transatlantic female soloists who are in the firing line. As well as the Christina and Nelly Furtado singles in the Top 20, we also have Pink's rather fantastic 'Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely)' which has been sculling around just inside the Top 40 for the last three weeks and which tumbles 34-37 this week. As a CD single it would have been a sure-fire Top 20 hit and maybe more, but as a belatedly promoted album cut it may end up as her smallest ever Top 40 single (...)" :( :'(

While I absolutely love this song and wish it had been a smash, it is not wise to re-release it. The combination of previous airplay , a video run and televised performances equal a bad decision IMO. 'Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely)' is fresh and catchy...that should be the next track.

I really wanted LMA to be a single,but I think it's too risky for the U.S.
It would be very cool on the radio though.

All Access has this impacting (again) on June 26th. I'm so happy this is being rereleased. Easily the most passionate song on the album, IMO. It's really heartbreaking. I love the last chorus. This will probably be what's performed on idol. Guaranteed SUPER-smash, which is what I always predicted this song would be, if promoted even decently.

I don't think I like the idea of this being perfomed on American Idol. Her performance on American Idol is in like two weeks right? If she performed Who Knew then and the adds date for it is in June her downloads would peak WAY before her airplay peaks, which would definitely hinder it's chart performance.

Exactly!! IF the label wants to re-release WK, it has to be SMART with that move... be sure about it. If she performs WK in AI, push it for test in radio then at the same time. Although that could hurt U+UH's peak.Let's see what would be the besdt option... the problem is that U+UH would be an impossible to be performed in AI, too!! So, if not WK, then LWH or LMA basically. Let's see what happens... but any song Pink decides to perform should be closely followed with a test or promotion in radio of the same song. This could be a transition period from U+UH to another song, maybe...

Oh, well... you are right, thanks for reminding me of that!!! so I will make my second vote: 1) U+Ur Hand (Melinda) 2) Candyman (Jordin) 3) Over It (Chris) 4) Beautiful Liar (Lakisha & Hallie) 5) Girlfriend (Sanjaya--with Avril's hairdoes!!) And asked for songs: Who Knew, Starlight, Grace Kelly, You Ruined Me, All Good Things Job done!!

^HAHA! I dont know if it was for the contestants to perform or if the singers were gonna perform them sometime! I was confused by that. I think the singers will come perform them if they get voted!

Hey, but it would be cool to make people chose a pool of songs, and see how contestants deal with that, eh??!!! Anyway, I would love to watch Melinda singing "I don't give a fuck!" haha... I am now kind of disappointed with the show... it's more like a reality show now... waiting to see Sanjaya's new hairstyle or image, Hallie's legs and sensuality... of course, then good singers, but it's more a show than a 'singing competition'. Oh, gee!! why is it so hard for the contestants to do a good LATIN week??!! anyway, stop chatting...

I have mixed feelings- I LOVE the track, but kinda htink it should just be left alone now- it managed to chart on the Hot 100, and nobody saw that coming.
But, of course, I'll support it. It's just that it got that boost and charted, and now is on the way down. Will radio stations that ignored it the first time around give it attention? Time will tell.

Well she performed it for Idol and it will probably air once they are ready to start getting play on radio again...
Should they shoot another video for it?
