Pop/rock singer Pink reached out to her Twitter page, slamming "American Idol" finalists over their "So What" performance during its finale. "I heard it thru the grapevine that someone butchered my song last night on TV ... does that mean I've 'made it?' lol," so she wrote.
The Top 13 Idol finalists delivered their rendition of Pink's single "So What" in the result show of the Ryan Seacrest-hosted singing competition on May 20. At that night, the eight boys and five girls took the stage in all-white outfits for the performance.
In addition to singing Pink's "So What", the Top 13 finalists also took the Idol stage for "I'm Yours" live appearance. While they were not accompanied by its original singer during "So What" performance, they indeed shared the mic with Jason Mraz when delivering "I'm Yours".
Despite her not-so-quite-happy response toward Idol performance, Pink herself doesn't entirely oppose the singing contest. She had appeared in the show's annual charity event, "Idol Gives Back", on May 9, 2007. However, during the show, she reportedly fought with its producers, who wanted to change the lyrics of her song "U and Ur Hand". Refusing to do the producers' request, the musician who is currently on the road to promote her latest album "Funhouse" sang "Who Knew" instead.
