ArchivesP!nk was supposed to appear on American Idol 6’s charity event episode, but she was one of the celebrities cut from the show, and her pre-taped performance airs during tonight’s results show instead.
She’ll sing “Who Knew,” but originally was going to sing “U + Ur Hand.” However, “when the ‘Idol’ powers-that-be realized the song made references to self-love, they asked P!nk to alter the lyrics to make them more appropriate for the ‘family-friendly’ show,” TMZ reports, citing only anonymous sources, as usual.
Instead, “sources tell TMZ that P!nk wasn’t willing to compromise her artistic integrity … and agreed to sing her last single, ‘Who Knew,’ instead.” The lyrics to the song aren’t exactly graphic, but are actually somewhat empowering: “Cause I’m not here for your entertainment (No) / You don’t really want to mess with me tonight / … Keep your drink just give me the money / It’s just you and your hand tonight.”
But the producers’ objection does make some sense: references to masturbation in the song might actually remind viewers that there’s something more interesting and entertaining to do than watch the results show’s 58 minutes of filler and ads.
