Actually JGMAR isn't Nate Ruess songs - her only started to write the song (the beginning) then P!nk continued and finished the whole song and thought that it should be a duet (like a dialogue) and so she asked Nate.
Lady Marmelade was not a duet and was originally none of those girls' song though.
And again Christina's participation in MLJ is similar to Lily Allen's participation in True Love
NOT the same as JGMAR

Oh thank god, you understand how i feel.
I mean P!nk is my religion- but i can never stop loving Brit and Xtina - same - coz i grew up with their music - and even "dragging" any of those two to defend P!nk is very difficult for me

It was. WKTU and WHTZ played the version without X.

Maroon 5 performed it many times during the songs promotional run WITHOUT Christina. Again, nothing like JAGMAR or LM

Even professional reviewers of the song said it could've been recorded without X. Some insisted that it should've been.

What does the co writing have to do with it? You could also say Nate brought in the songs streaming power, video streams, and downloads because Pink usually doesn't do well there. It's crazy to dismiss Nate like that and act like he has nothing to do with it, when it probably wouldn't have done as well without him

And suddenly you're to dismiss LM because it was a cover? :tootunny: Was anyone even referring to that?

And Christina was on MLJ way more than Lily on TL, and a lot of the buzz from that songs success came from two Voice coaches getting together. That was the general appeal of that song that got the song launched in the first place even

And there we go - JGMAR s now Nate's song come on atrlster, Nate is singing the song with her - that doesn't make it his song. And please don't start like it was a success coz Nate was in it... Actually most of the people i have met told me that his voice is annoying and that she should have done it alone (i swear this is true)

Lady Marmelade is again not really their song and 5 people in 1 song isn't the same as 2 people in 1 song where one sings for like 20 seconds

What I'm saying is that JGMAR is Pink and Nate's song. What if P!nk had passed on the song but Nate liked it so much he decided to put it on the next fun. album. Would it suddenly not count for P!nk? It doesn't make sense to nitpick collaborations when these things can turn out to be abtrirary

And the downloads, streaming, and video streaming for BW and Try were not that good. How do you explain JGMAR following more in the line of fun. singles than P!nk singles?

4 People on a song is not that bad. It's not like a We Are The World Thing with 30 people.

In what world is Britney's music recycled? P!nk gets a lot of shtick because she's using the same sound that Kelly Clarkson popularized with BA that Kelly also has been recycling. Your whole post is a kii, though.

Of course, Maroon 5 have performed MLJ without Christina. She can't be there at all their performances. Just like Christina has performed LM without the other girls. Most collaborations are performed without the collaborating partner live. What kind of naive logic is this? lol

And WHTZ is Z100 right? Now, I know you're just full of BS and definitely making stuff up. They've played the version with her

NO! Then it would be appropriate to refer to it as "A fun. song" or "that fun. song with P!nk" but it would NOT BE OK TO CALL IT "a P!nk song."

Not a hard concept.

Is this MLJ thing you guys are talking about Moves Like Jagger? I have a vague familiarity with that song, and I've heard it out and about on the radio a few times and the fact that Xtina is on it is NEWS to me. I have 0 awareness that she even touched that song, which is why I'm asking if that song is in fact the one you are discussing with the abbreviation MLJ.
