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...
"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!

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
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?
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
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
