Looks like the blew all the budget allowance for videos on "Stupid Girls" (and I assume "U + Ur Hand". A much better song though. Hmmm.

For me it's definitely the stand out track from I'm Not Dead. The intro is very similar to Since U Been Gone.
I find U + Ur Hand a bit shit, plus the way the title is written is a awful, so I'm gl;ad this is single no. 2 from the album.

U & Ur Hand is definetely on parr with Who Knew? and Stupid Girls, this definetely should make a single.

I don't like it when we're meant to feel something for characters who aren't the singers, it does nothing for me and I have no attachment emotionally to a couple I only see for 3 minutes. Its still a good song and a good video though. I hope U + Ur Hand does get released soon as the clips from that video look good from what I've seen hehe!

I wish the video was stronger, because it's a brilliant song. So commercial and catchy. Her voice has never sounded better either. I think radio are gonna jump all over this, it's got that sound that Radio 2 could play but would sound good on radio 1 as well.

Maybe it's just me, but I kind of feel Pink is losing her appeal. Get The Party started can still feel a dancefloor (especially the sweet dreams remix), and I lurved the singles from the last album. But Stupid Girls just doesn't seem as appealing, and the new one just doesn't stay in my head.
Maybe I'll listen to the album and it'll all grow on me.

I'm not feeling too much love for Who Knew as a single, however the album on the whole is very strong. I don't really like U + Ur Hand though, it's way too Max Martin and not enough Pink.

U + Ur Hand is my favourite song on the album, didn't realise she'd shot a video already? She should stop listening to so much Kelly Clarkson (as much as I love her too) - Who Knew is a Since U Been Gone rip-off and Long Way To Happy is Behind These Hazel Eyes Part 2.

Who told her to wear that?!
The songs ok, probably a grower (I haven't got the album yet) but the lyric about punching in the mouth is clumsy enough to put me off a bit.

I think the song is actually quite bland compared to the other tracks she could have chosen from. Long way to happy or Cuz I Can are great loud pop songs that would have been great for radio. Shame Fingers was a bonus track because that's a great sleazy little pop song.
Crazy hair in the vid too, hilarious.

I'm not a big Pink fan or anything, but I think this is the kind of song that her record company wanted her to make (another 'Just like a pill' please). It's got that epic, catchy, over produced rock ballad 'Since u been gone', 'Complicated' thing going on that always seems to do well with the er right video.

I dont think this song will go anywhere Many people seem to like it (her fans and pop music fans) but to me this song is really nothing. She has a lot better tracks on 'I'm Not Dead' like 'Nobody Knows, Long Way to Happy and the fab U + Ur hand

I think the video's terrible - compared to how fantastic the song is.
Maybe it's because I don't really get what's going on in it. Why did he go all psycho at her suddenly?

I think it's the best on the album by a country mile but the video is very disappointing. The ending is a bit confusing.

I really like it. Yes, it's pretty conventional pop-rock stuff, but it could do well for her. Rubbish video though. Odd really, as I think most people bought Stupid Girls for the video, and for this one she's going to have to rely on people liking the song.

She has hair like my nan in the video (funky nan). I think the video will grow on me once I've actually seen it properly on TV. At the moment it's just another bland video to me.

I like her hair..and the dress. It works for her. The parts that Pink herself is in..are pretty decent. She always comes across well in her video's I think. But I don't like the part with the couple.
And I too don't really get what's going on at the end. Maybe because the video is so dark (assuming a bad rip maybe?)...I'm not really sure what I'm seeing. Did he flip out or something? He can't be dead..cause I think the girl would be a bit more upset than that.....I don't know..I usually get video's pretty easy but this one confuses me and that ticks me off.
I really like the song though. It's not lyrically groundbreaking or anything...neither is the sound but she sounds great and it's got a killer hook.

I'm pretty sure there's two scenes in the video, near the middle, where the guy is shooting up heroin. One when the girl is asleep in his bed and another when they're at the carnival and it's dark. I think Pink has said in an interview the song was about losing a friend to drugs...
I think at the end of the video the girl calls an ambulance for the guy, giving up on him after he goes a bit crazy from the drugs. I don't know, it's all speculation really. There could be a lot of in-depth messages in there (the drowning scenes are a good example), but only if you over-analyse things like I tend to do.
Yeah, I'm looking in to it too much. But I love Pink, love Who Knew since I heard the clip last year. Hope it does really well for her.

one of my top ten songs of 2006, unless we get so many brilliant tunes this year that it gets knocked out of its spot.

I just saw the video on B4 and the boy is taking heroin on the two occassions mentioned before. Although they've edited it to only suggest it not actually show it happening.
And s she finds him at the fairground and calls the ambulance.
I just think it happens too late on in the video to make sense. Seeing as the whole song is about that, surely it would have made sense to make reference to it from the start.
I don't mind her hair in the video so much now.

There's a couple of indications - they're always showing his bare forearm. Bah... so-so video I think. And a shit song for second single. Actually I'm incredibly disappointed with the whole album. There are a few good songs, but considering how long she took it's a load of half-arsed mid tempo guitar songs. I HATE Billy Mann's guitar-playing. Clearly Cuz I Can, I Got Money Now and maybe a couple of others are decent, but generally it's lyrically weak, and quite often the lyrics and melody don't match. And there I was getting my hopes up, that it'd be Missundaztood v. 2, not a continuation of that other fiasco.

She looks like Bozo a bit, the clown, you know?
The album has so many great songs, they can release loads if none flop bad and end the project early. Runaway and Long Way To Happy are my screamy gym songs at the moment. Fabulous!

I love the song, but the video's a bit like Lola's Theme with a slightly higher budget.
