P!nk Ends 20-Year Feud With Christina Aguilera And Blasts Fan Culture
The 'What About Us' singer is sick and tired of comparisons in pop music...
What do we reveal?
Make that decision every day
What is wrong with me
It's what's wrong with you
There's just so much I wanna say
I like to make-believe with you
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
That we always speak the truth ...ish
I like how we pretend the same
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
Play this silly little game
(Hey)
I've got some things to say
'Cause there's a lot that you don't know
It's written on my face
It's gonna be hard to swallow
(Everybody's got a secret)
I got some things to say
(Everybody's got a secret)
'Cause there's a lot that you don't know
(Everybody's got a secret)
It's written on my face
(Everybody's got a secret)
I let the walls come down
I let the monster out
And it's coming after me
(After me)
Do you feel exposed
Where it hurts the most?
Can you wear it on your sleeve?
I like to make-believe with you
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
That we always speak the truth
(Always speak the truth) ...ish
I like how we pretend the same
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
Play this silly little game
(Hey)
I've got some things to say
'Cause there's a lot that you don't know (know, know)
It's written on my face
It's gonna be hard to swallow
(Everybody's got a secret)
I got some things to say
(Everybody's got a secret)
'Cause there's a lot that you don't know
(Everybody's got a secret)
It's written on my face
(Everybody's got a secret)
Put it in the closet
Lock the doors
I'm wondering which one is worse
Is it mine or is it yours? (yours)
Put it in the closet
Lock the doors
Wondering which one is worse
I'll show mine if you show yours (yours)
I'll show mine if you show yours, oh
He-he-hey
(Everybody's got a secret)
I got some things to say
(Everybody's got a secret)
'Cause there's a lot that you don't know
(Everybody's got a secret)
It's written on my face
(Everybody's got a secret)
It's gonna be hard to swallow
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
(Everybody's got a secret)
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
(Everybody's got a secret)
"Music brings us all together".
P!nk has spoken out against comparison culture amongst women in pop music after a Twitter troll dismissed her legacy.
The ‘So What’ superstar was announced as this year’s recipient of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award - the highest honour at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards - to recognise her iconic visuals, legendary career and wider impact on pop culture.
The celebrations were briefly interrupted when someone posted the ‘Lady Marmalade’ video, calling it “the only relevant video of her career” and calling her Christina Aguilera’s back-up singer. Seriously?
As one of the most talented vocalists of our generation, P!nk knows her worth and wasn’t letting the remarks - or the constant pitting women against each other - go by unnoticed.
“Want to point out an awful new phenomenon of the last 10 years. We can no longer be happy for each other,” before confirming that her and Christina Aguilera’s one-time beef should be left in 2001.
“I [love] Xtina, we’ve made amends… Music brings us all together. The best part of music is there's room for everyone to win at the same time.” YES, P!NK!
Women standing up for other women is exactly what we need right now.
The ‘What About Us’ singer went on to say, “Don't be what's wrong [with the] world. Let's be an example of inclusion and celebration.”

Ever the cool kid, she clarified that she’s not asking for people to like her, but “you’re f**kin rip van winkle if you’ve never seen one of my videos”.
We’ve seen way more than just one video, don’t worry…
As the Vanguard recipient, P!nk will take to the stage for a performance that is bound to be extraordinary as she performs her new single ‘What About Us’ plus “some surprises”.
The 2017 MTV VMAs take place at the “Fabulous” Forum in Inglewood, California on 27th August!

Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ever wonder 'bout what he's doin'
How it all turned to lies
Sometimes I think that it's better
To never ask why
Where there is desire there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
Hey-he-hey
Funny how the heart can be deceiving
More than just a couple times
Why do we fall in love so easy
Even when it's not right?
No-oh-oh, no oh
Where there is desire there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Ever worry that it might be ruined
And does it make you wanna cry?
When you're out there doing what you're doing
Are you just getting by?
Tell me, are you just getting by, by, by?
Where there is desire there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
