Fresh from rocking The X Factor UK stage at the weekend, Pop rebel Pink stopped by BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge today to continue the promotional push for new album ‘The Truth About Love’.
Watch below as she tackles ‘Girl On Fire’ by label-mate Alicia Keys below…
Yes! As ever, Ms. Moore nailed it. Great performance
Randomness: The industry geek in yours truly is loving the promo synergy with both ladies projects. A synergy which benefits everyone – Pink, Alicia, and of course the label. Make that money!
Update: ‘Girl On Fire’ has jumped up to #14 on UK iTunes.
PINKS VERSION >>>>
Why does she sound better than Alicia, though? Great performance!
That a f****** lie.
Dear P!NK, I am f****** in love with you!! P!NK sings while AK… SCREAMS!!!!!
Pink sounds 10 times better than Alicia off Key.
B**** PLEASE
LMAO
Wow. This should have been Pink’s song. It’s made for her voice obviously…
Damn man she’s an underrated vocalist.
She’s not underrated , it’s just that whom ever agrees with ur statement don’t really listen to her type of music , but her talent is highly recognized and appreciated
I agree. Pink is very talented but I have zero interest in the music she releases.
WOW PINK!
The greatness of that is when she wasn’t quite ready for the belting part she pulled out like a pro and then got right back on track.
Great Cover
Oh wow – I must say as a fan of both ladies. I must say; I do think they song is better suited to PINK voice. I luv this.
THEN IT WANT GO #1 IF PINK SINGING
I love this b**** I swear to God! Go Pink!!
Bravo to the butch d*** b****. She sounds way better than the other butch d*** b****. Round of applause d***!
LOTUS- descending down a billboard chart near you!
B****** just got read. Opp…
Alicia should be sooo embarrassed by this. Can we all agree that she’s overrated now? She peaked years ago and now she’s barely coasting. Sad for her.
No why she embarrassed
I think you are all a little bit slow
Pink does better vocally? Ok (she almost failed on the second chorus but it was great anyway)
Pink wishes she could make the songs Alicia makes? Hell to the YES
Alicia is a better artist. Just that. Her voice deteriorating is not gonna change that. First time I´m excited about listening to Pink! Why? Cos she is singing a better song than her average catalogue, and it´s faaaaarrr from Alicia´s best song
THANK YOU…. Black people like to bring down each other and this is why some people cant respect US BLACK PEOPLE!
ROCK IS DIFFERENT FRONT R&B RIGHT?
ALICIA KEYS’ has been TOURING AND SINGING the s*** out of the song so sometimes her voice does sound strained.
Alicia Keys is ARTIST who writes her own music, sings her own songs, and PLAYS her own songs. HOW MAANY ARTISTs CAN PUT That under their credentials (PS i dont mean those type who say they write this when they just recently obtained their HS diploma….THROWS SHADES!)
I know!
I totally agree, Alicia is simply the better artist IMO. I do find this recording to be better than the original, but seeing things that way doesn’t mean that there’s now something to take away from Alicia’s talent or artistry.
Their musical styles are quite different and hard to compare (even though they do favor vocally sometimes). I hate it when some people can’t offer an honest opinion without it going to an unnecessary extreme. It’s very unfortunate how common it is in the black community for certain individuals to feel that someone has to be looked down upon for another person to be uplifted.

She almost failed the second chorus? Well, its not her song first off, and the first time performing it, so making one or two mistakes is not a failure, its human and expected. She still killed the song and did the cover justice. Im sure Alicia herself would be giving her kudos. And, theyve always liked each other.
A perfect fit for Pink.
Pink and alicia keys sound really similar if u really listen closely…
Not a fan of Alicia keys but there’s no need to bash her. They both sound good doing this song. Pink gave more of a rock edge. Pretty nice I must say.
This should have been her song!!!
Congrats Pink!!
It actually suits her MORE!! IT sounds like HER record..
Wow. I’m surprised that I enjoyed this more, it felt less frantic and all over the place. Pink’s version takes this song a little higher! Well done.

Oh so u dont bash Alicia Keys when pink sounds way better on this track?
bt any little idiot that jumps on a rihanna track u think is better n feel the need to shade?
U need to b fair in ur commentry… its rather annoying
Were u talking to me? It’s an opinion. If I was unfair and biased I woulda said alicia key’s version was s*** and pink’s was good but I think they both are pretty decent. And I’m sorry you’re pissed but I don’t say everyone sings Rihanna’s songs good. Some just suit Rihanna’s voice better but a lot of people can cover her songs good with bigger voices. That’s the way it is so don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.
And btw I think Pink can sing but I don’t see any difference from the way she hit the notes that was better than original. I think ppl just saying that cuz they like Pink’s voice compared to Alicia. But if I were being more objective I would say they are both equally good and I did hear a bit of tension in Pink’s voice when she sang the chorus at times TBH.
Omfg she took that away from Alicia
I like this version much better. It has more energy to it and is listenable. Alicia screams too much in her version instead of belting the notes. With that said, PINK didn’t hit some of those notes properly, but she still did good.
She looks and sounds horrible as usual! VIOLENT DOMESTIC ABUSER (of course the fake ass media and feminist slores wont say it) pAnk is now murdering R&B songs! 0_O ……ewwww
hater.
Wow pink owned this!
This version is much better.
Oh damn. Pink sang that! Nice!
AMAZING! I almosted mistake P!nk for Keys. GIRLS ARE ON FIRE WITH THIS TRACK! 😀
**ALMOST! ALMOSTED? LMAO!
Why don’t you haters stop it, NO SHE DOES NOT SOUND BETTER THAN ALICIA, it is a different version, it sounds good but no where near any of Alicia Keys versions, especially her bluelight version, you haters can never be honest, it says a lot about the song that people are already covering it. The song is a few days away from going platinum it has already sold over 940,000 copies, you all may not like it, but someone clearly does and that comes from Alicia and her performances and promotion of the song, it will go platinum by the end of this week, go ask your faves when their songs will be platinum.
Damn and her album only sold 160k?
I love Pink, she’s a badass b****, she did a good job but i still prefer the original, Pink music is great, what is generic about songs like “Just Like a Pill”, “Who Knew” and “Try”…yep, i see you c*** @JOHNVIDAL.
I said average, not generic 🙂 you biggest c*** on this blog LOL
Jilipolla.
I really liked her cover; I do think it fits her voice better because of the Rock/R&B/POP mesh of voice that is Pink’s.
Excellent cover – We all know they are different artists – s***, giddoff their clits!
& Funnily enough I bought both of their albums yesterday! Well done PINK!
Pink killed this song. Alicia Keys voice is not the same on this album as it was on her first 3 albums.
They sound so similar
I swear if I listened to it without knowing it’s P!nk! I’d say it’s Alicia
Anyway, Xtina can bury the two alive .. Just sayin’
#DEAL
Both Alicia’s are great But I think Alicia Moore’s(P!NK) version is better! I like the rock vibe…it adds to the song!
this is the Pink i fell in love with, Babyface had her as a sangin r&b, kinda pop style, the rock is cute but doesnt showcase her skills like this., werq honey., i love alicias album btw-amazing!
Pink please return to r&b 🙁
Regardless, this songs has a better delivery live than recorded.
