This is an amazing version, I love it. Blacks deal with a lot of prejudice but we live in a society of a culture that defines themselves based on the color of their eyes and hair. Who knew blonde and brunette were personalities? We subconsciously apply personality and validation based on what we've been told is beautiful. So it can be VERY freeing to be black and learn to appreciate and value yourself OVER what society says. Fitting in can also mean never discovering who you really are.
I hate this song because it depresses me. "I am not my hair. I am not this skin?" Actually you are. The hair and the skin the DIVINE gave us is part of us. I know this is suppose to be an uplifting song but to me it's another cry for validation of Black humanity. Goddamn Black people-Black women..you are human.
@jesushateswood Validation of black humanity...I could have sworn Pink was white. :/
You missed the point of the song. It's saying we are more than just the superficial, the skin and the hair, the looks. "I am the soul the lives within."
@MissStarPowers88 Yes I know Pink is white and she wasn't on the original recording of this song. Yes I know Pink has had body issues herself so she probably jumped at the chance to duet with India on this joint. I don't care about Pink. We maybe 'souls' inside but we live in a physical world. So you BETTER love your hair and your skin because that's what people see first before you open your mouth.
@jesushateswood She never said she didn't love her hair and her skin. She's just saying that there's more to her than that. And yes your hair and your skin is what people see first but they also need to remember to look deeper than that.
@jesushateswood the whole point of this song in my opinion.. is not only to not judge somebody but how they look but also to feel comfortable in your own skin. be who you are because your hair or your skin does not define you. Its like saying ALL black women or ALL white women are the same. It is part of you but it isnt ALL of you
This is the 1st time that I've ever heard this version that's not normal for me... But seriously I loved the original but Pink gives it a diff vibe & I love it even more. My theme song!!!
I just wanna a say short thank u too all of you who have watched and comment this video...it's the most seen video of all of my videos...and I think it should be seen by million more people...so thanx a lot and keep watching :)
DONT READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS. YOU WILL BE KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMARROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DO NOT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READING THIS SO DUNT STOP. THIS IS SO SCARY PUT THIS ON AT LEAST 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALY WORK
this song should have so been like before number 1! its so awesome and the lyrics are so 'up brining' and she is really awesome and her music is so inspiring!
love the bit where they are like, "is that pink? why is her hair brown?"
wow this song is amazing. It convinced me to stop straightening my hair and stuff and just go natural.Its the first time for my girlfriend to see my natural hair.
this song motivated me i had to listen to it everyday just to get this natural process kickin and i lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve imma keep listening to it everyday just because i know i am not my hair :)
omg i've heard this song a million times, but i just got chills listening to this version for the first time!! this is awesome! wonder why i haven't known about this one until now?
i Cried when i heard this version... pink's voice is so RAW!!! i love it!!!. and india's voice is so relaxing!! i love it!!! i can relate to this song.. and the whole time i was listening to it.. i had chills all over!!!
true words.. i am the soul that lives within, and there is more to this than just hair.. i am not my hair, skin, what i wear, and what you think of me, i more than everything, i am with everything and nothingness! love this song! love indie arie, she has surpassed most singers today, she is in a different league all together!<3
I have heard India dis the version with Akon more than once. Actually, I like that version, too. Although I think this one is better and probably would have been more successful. Well, we live and we learn....
What a great message! We are not what our outside "packages" depict... we are so much more. When we only focus on outward appearences we miss out on getting to know so many amazing people!
I adore this song. :] Just to show off my personality, I want boooy short hair, where I can faux-hawk the front and I can just be.. ME. [: I will not be judged for my outer appearance.
i can relate to this coz 'i am not my hair' coz im a girl with short hair and sterotyped as a lesbian or boy and i ve had pink blue green you name it ive had the colour in my hair and i some times have mohawks but that dont mean im a lez or a boy so people need to quit tellin me that i am and find sumin better to do with thier life!
@shindsb1 This is the original. India Said her label didn't completely reject the song. Just P!NK's part so they put Akon on it to make it more mainstream
