And #2, America is the only place that has undeducated people. Right... Anyways, "Stupid Girls" was a great choice for a lead single. The only downside to it is that some people probably considered it a novelty track. Not enough to sell an album. She needed to follow it up with a song like "Long Way To Happy" and then U+UH third.

^^ Yeah they took their time with deciding (my guess is that it's Pink's fault as from what we knew, UUH was going to be released before the album came out!) And when they did decide on the single, which was the wrong one, it was too late!

I still wonder if U+UH will even be released in the US. She refuses to perform it live which would mean promotion of the single is out of the question. And since WK did so badly, they might not even release a third single.

^^ Oh believe me I am far from jealous. Pitty would be more accurate... but moving on.
I do think there will be a third single, but only because she is touring. Shame that she sin't performing this at her concerts.

Well U & Ur Hand is definitely the third single in UK - the video is due to premier on the phone network 3 sometime soon, before general release. It's already made some station's playlists too.....

Shame that she sin't performing this at her concerts. Moving on is best But honestly, using preconceived generalizations to paint an entire country is ignorant. Why can't we all love each other? ??? I would never insult an entire country based upon the actions of a part of the country. And it upsets me when others insult me in their broad insults. You said," America needs a message like that out there. Poor, uneducated people." That is nothing but inflammatory and unfair. It sounds much more like a conservative point of view than a liberal point of view. I'll let you have the last word , and I don't want you to be mad at me, because I'm not trying to anger you... just bring something to your attention! *hugs*

I'm not being mad at you. Not at all. Thanks for calling me out on that. I should have said some, or the few uneducated ones. I apologise for throwing in that comment, as it was not ment for everyone living there.
Anyway. I love how this single is being so well recieved in the rest of the world. So many think it's such a beautiful pop/rock ballad/mid-tempo song. I agree. But of corse I would. Pink could record herself taking a crap on the toilet and I'd love it. But yeah. Love the song. Love it's meaning.

Why doesn't she want to perform U+UH live? She's only killing her career making these types of decisions.

Well I have some good news...Who Knew hit #30 on the Canadian BDS Airplay Charts! That's helping out her album too, which is up to #28 (after being at #33 the week before and #38 the week before that)!!

I guess it depends on what you mean by career, but if you mean commercial success, I don't think her choices at live performances make that much of a difference.

We have 92 PRO-FM, I heard it played twice...It might be the biggest station so far. WTF happened to Pink's fans? Did they all die like in the song? MTV has the video up...I think that downloads need to kick up...That's what would help know. I like this song a LOT know...Its better than 'Stupid Girls.'

I don't think so. I think more than half of these hip-hop people ruling the airwaves didn't vote for Bush.

And if Clear Channel boycott artists who are criticizing "Dear Mr President" then no wonder why her songs don't become hits anymore. Here is the article about Clear Channel ... www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13639818/

Yup, very true! And just like Madge and Dixies singles, the stations didn't even bother to add them on their lists. How many stations added 'Who Knew" and gave the chance to their listeners to decide if they like the song or not? Probably 30 out of 140? Well, you sure can't have a hit this way and I don't blame Pink or her singles choices for that!

I am starting to think that the ban of Pink's and Madonn's music is politically influenced.

I'm happy she's over and done with. She's shot herself in the foot so many times that she doesn't deserve success anymore. I hate it when people say it's US radios fault. It isn't. Pink did this to herself. It's sad because this was a pretty good album and I really used to like her.

Well if that's why pop radio won't play them, they're really f*cked up. Why should an artist's views on political issues affect their success with their career? This isn't Country radio where they praise Bush. I can assure you that most of the artists that Pop radio plays these days are Democrats. They may not have written a song against the President, but just because some artists voiced their opinion on a track means they can't play their other singles? If I ever find out that's why these artists aren't having hits, I swear I'll never support Pop radio again. >:(

You think it's Pink's fault? When Mariah released SIO last year everyone thought it'd flop and that we reached the 'Charmbracelet' era again. Mariah chose her singles and radio supported her. Pink chose them and radio didn't. US radio is the only thing to blame for ths.

You're right. But what I'm trying to get across is that people are blaming Pink when it isn't her fault. Radio didn't go along with Pink's choices while Mariah did the same thing as Pink and had success. Radio is the only one to blame.

But the difference is, Mariah released WBT which wasn't a bad single choice at all and was a HUGE hit. Anything that followed WBT would've been a hit. Pink just chose bad singles and did absolutely no promo during the time she needed to. When she finally did, it was too late.
