As I drove home from the grocery store this evening, a song came on the radio that I didn't know. The song sounded like something P!nk would sing, but I could tell the singer wasn't P!nk. The voice was too low. I was so confused; who was this female performer who sounded a little like P!nk and was singing a song that totally could have been P!nk's?
I pulled out my phone at a red light and turned on the (insanely useful) song ID function.
It was Adam Lambert. I laughed so hard.
The song, "Whataya Want from Me," aside from the stupid spelling in the title, is pretty catchy, and Lambert is insanely talented. I think he COULD have sung the song in P!nk's range if he'd wanted to. I'd say, "I don't understand how he didn't win Idol!" but I do (obviously gay contestant vs. openly Christian contestant; a lot of Christians who never even watched the show voted for Kris Allen. While Allen is also talented, I think that everyone was stunned, including the judges and the two contestants, when Allen won).
EDIT: My bad--it wasn't just co-written by P!nk. It was originally recorded for Funhouse, her latest album. Lambert's version is great, but uuuugh, wish I could get my hands on P!nk's version!
