I'm certainly not one to hate on something simply because it's a cover of one of my most cherished pieces of work and acknowledge the talent involved here (whatever value that may be), but I have to say that this is a terrible, terrible cover.
@ellebyelleNEW come on Seal happens to be 1 of my favorite artists...and Pink is DEFINITELY amazing...but India.Aire did her thing in the second verse...that whole verse was India Aire...I don't know who did the African (I presume) part...from 2:02-4:42 is the beautiful talented TRULY underrated India Aire...Pink is not underrated...she has had how many #1 hits now??? she is a highly respected artist and deserves it...Seal gets more love in the UK...Ms. Aire needs the love 2!!!
@qCLEFJones p!nk is extremely underated for the shit she does for the world and shes had 1 worldwide no# 1 "so what" and 1 uk no# 1 "just like a pill" she loads of amazing live acts and none (and i mean none literally) of my friends like her like i do most of them hate her and i dont know why.... shes pretty underratted to me....
@lilbsongwriter she's sold over 30 million albums worldwide & just b/c ppl in your circle of friends don't like her, that doesn't mean that she doesn't get the respect that she deserves from the rest of the world...she was named the 27th most powerful celebrity by Forbes from June 2009-June2010 (made over $44 million during that time period) she was declared the 11th most played artist in the UK...named the # 1 Pop Song Artist of the Decade (2000–2009) by Billboard...she gets the love...
@qCLEFJones what do you mean ppl in my circle of friends dont like her? i for one love her and alot of my friends like her but shes just not recognised for what she does... her live shows are amazing... when was the last time britney even sung at a concert, or the last time beyonce went 50 ft in the air, or lady gaga sing upside down spinning at 50 mph? and still singing through all this? she did all those things at the grammys. surely you saw that? and everyone loves the crap in the charts.....
@lilbsongwriter you said that none of your friends like her...although they don't, I don't agree with your assumption that she doesn't get the respect she deserves...ppl freakin' love her...I mean she released a greatest hits album with a couple new songs AND BAM more #1 hits...that performance she did at the grammys and on MTV of "Glitter in the Air" is still talked about...believe me, your girl is loved b/c she is amazing...
@qCLEFJones i know shes not hated but ALL my friends would choose hayley williams over p!nk.... hayley willaims is nothing compared to p!nk... theres no comparison.... almost anyone would choose rihanna or lady gaga or katy perry or some other person in the charts and not p!nk she should have ALOT more than she gets....
@GSinger1113 In India.Aire's entire career...she had none...and Seal may have had 1...Pink has had like 10 top tens though...what an accomplishment...and she was voted as a top ten Billboard artist for the decade...homegirl gets all the love she deserves and more...and the Lady Marmalade song she did w/ Mya and the rest of them makes a 3rd #1 for Pink by the way...
I think the vocals were good to great but the arrangement was way way of to the point of butchering one of the best songs in pop/rock history, real shame, started out stellar but went south in a big big way..
In the end for me, when P!nk sings a cover of a song, it becomes my new favorite version. This is a beautiful song no matter what, & P!nk is amazingly great in this- it deserves to win at the GRAMMY'S!!!!!!!!
(& P!nk IS so underrated artist ever & I will love her 4ever) - Yes, I am a P!nkaholic. & proud ;P
Red man says it best, "Believe in your music" thats what make you an individual and thats why some people can't make music outside of a trend.....these artist are trend setters and wonderful individuals
If you had not heard the original this would be terrible. It's lost its simplicity that made it beautiful. I don't know how P!NK can preach about 'no posessions' in this song but have lines in her own songs like "I could fit your house in my swimming pool" ("So what" is the song i think)
@RedBullXHardy I don't recall that line but if it's there, she's not literally saying her house is that big. Just like this song is not literally saying there shouldn't be countries. it's saying that people should stop fighting because they think their nation is superior. If you listen to So What, it's a light-hearted fun song and this song isn't preachy. It's a vision of what peace could be. And you are right, this version is not good.
I think John is saying there literally should be no countries. The world should be a united community. Thats why there is no religeon and no posessions. It's a left-wing socialist song.
hum.... Indeed Pink is an amazing singer, and very underrated by the way... but that may be because the genre she's in... and she kinda doesn't fit in this genre... she defers from the rest of the song in my opinion
John Lennon was a god. he should become a saint. he was the source and inspiration during the revolution in the 60's-70's. he was part of the most successful group of all time. :) This is a great way to commemorate him. this song is great. some of the best voices in the business!! :) thats all I gotta say bout that. hope this wins at the grammy's.
I've always loved pink and i will forever love pink...BUT INDIA ARIE VOICE IS SOOO BEAUTIFUL AND I'VE LOVE SEAL EVERY SINCE I WAS YOUNGER THERE NO SONG HE CAN SING THAT I WOULDN'T LOVE....INDIA AN SEAL IS SOUL HANDS DOWN....
From 0:01 to 1:56 the song was beautiful, and nearly made me cry. It was perfect. After that, though, I think the song was ruined. Just my humble opinion.
EVERYONEE IS TALKING UP PINK, I THINK SHE DID A GREAT JOB BUT I WOULD SAY INDAI ARIEE PUT SOO MUCH SOUL AND PURITY INTO THIS SONG. I LOVE HER VOICE, SHE HAS THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL!
I think Pink sounds great they all sound great I get Imagine and have people from all over get together and sing it. But I think John Lennon is master writer and its fine if they want to sing it the way he wrote it (which was perfect) shame on them for changing the way the Man wrote it in the first place
I love Pink so much. But why is everybody talking about her. She's not alone in this song! I love Pink to death but i think other artists should get their credit.
From 0:17 thru 0:26 with the pic of India holding the guitar that has to be my favorite pic of her :) lol
