Transcript

Now I know how it's supposed to sound.

Incredible.

Pink is watching us do this.

No way.

I'm freaking out.

What?

Whoo.

Hey everybody, this is watching covers with Pink.

♫ What about us

♫ I don't want control

♫ I want to let go

♫ I'll be ready

♫ Now it's time to let them know

Holy shit.

♫ What about us

♫ What about all the times you said you had the answers

Who's this?

That's better than I will ever sound.

♫ What about all the broken happy ever afters

The us is all of us that feel unwanted

and forgotten and invisible.

♫ What about all the things that ended in disaster

♫ What about love

♫ What about trust

♫ What about us

OK, well that's just rude.

It was fine. (laughing)

Actually, now I know how it's supposed to sound.

Is she like a recording artist

that makes records and puts records out?

OK, well that needs to change.

OK, (mumbling)

♫ It's the start of us

♫ Waking up come on

♫ Now it's time to

♫ Let them know

Holy shit.

♫ What about us

Whoo, aaah, oh my God.

I'm gonna cry.

Oh, that's so amazing.

Thank you so much for watching my video.

I love you as a person, I love all of your music,

and, ah, I'm all speechless about this whole thing.

I love it.

I feel so honored.

♫ This is perfect.

♫ Made a wrong turn, once or twice

♫ Dug my way out, blood and fire

When I wrote Perfect, I was pregnant

with my first baby, and you get into a very reflective

state when you're pregnant, there's a lot of feelings.

And that was a song full of feelings.

(laughing)

♫ Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood

She reminds me a little bit of Brandi Carlile,

which is another singer songwriter

that's incredible that I love.

Awww.

♫ Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel

♫ Like you are less than, less than perfect

How old is she, do you know?

11.

She's so much better than I was at 17,

and she's playing her own guitar, which I love.

♫ And you're nothin'

♫ 'Cause you are perfect to me

Aww, that was so good.

That was better than I do it.

Eva, it sounded amazing.

Thank you for sending that to me.

♫ Made a full turn.

Is she watching this?

♫ Once or twice

♫ Took my way out

♫ Blood and fire

(laughing) I'm gonna cry.

Eva, you're incredible.

I love the way you play that guitar,

and I love your vibrato.

Oh, my God.

Did that just happen?

That didn't just happen.

I don't even know what I'm saying.

That is so cool.

I love making covers on YouTube,

and so for her to actually see that,

that's like, insane, and it's really inspiring.

And she's, I can't even believe that.

It just means so much to me that you just watched.

That is so crazy, oh my God.

♫ To me

Thank you.

♫ Try, try, try

♫ Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame

♫ Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned

Well you can tell they sing a lot together.

I used to be in a three girl group,

and I used to spend hours perfecting harmonies.

That is what we did, and that's awesome.

♫ Try and try and try

♫ You gotta get up

I actually didn't write that song.

I was happy to sing it.

But, it's funny, my Mom

always picks a favorite song from my album,

and it's always maybe the one song I didn't write.

(laughing)

That was that one. (laughing)

(guitar strumming)

Amazing.

Again, better than the original.

What's next?

Oh, all right.

♫ Funny how the heart can be deceiving

♫ More than just a couple times.

Wow.

♫ Where there is desire there is gonna be a flame

♫ Where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned

♫ But just because it burns, doesn't mean you're gonna die

♫ You gotta get up and try, and try, and try

Mmm, the emotion in her voice is what kills you.

♫ Try, try

♫ Gotta get up and try, try, try

I loved that.

I loved that.

That was intense.

There's no box you can put that in.

That's what I love about it the most.

♫ Never, who knew

So exciting, not knowing what's coming your way.

♫ Ay yeah

♫ Oh, I'll keep you locked in my head

Oh, Who Knew.

I'm like what song is this, it's so good.

(laughing)

♫ Until we

♫ Until we

♫ Until we meet again

I love his voice.

I wrote Who Knew for a friend of mine

that died from a drug overdose,

and it's just about, I mean, since I've written the song

it's become about all kinds of things.

I think that's why I love it so much.

♫ You'd be long gone

♫ I'd stand up and punch them out

Damn

♫ 'Cause they're all wrong and

♫ But I keep

♫ Your memory

♫ She'll visit me in my sleep

That boy can sing.

♫ Who knew

Well, damn, OK, I'm never singing that song again.

Can I say it was like a better than Ed Sheeran,

who I love, Ed Sheeran, that's a very high,

who is that guy?

[Director] That's Isaac.

Who's Isaac?

What the hell, Isacc?

(laughing)

Thanks for making that song unsingable.

That made me wanna cry in the middle.

You're amazing, and you should shout and sing forever.

(laughing)

Thank you so much, Pink.

My heart is just like beating 1,000 times a second.

(laughing)

It's amazing.

God damn amazing.

If she needs some musicians for her tour or something,

she's just gotta call, I'll be there.

(laughing)

♫ Give me a reason

♫ just a little bit's enough

♫ Right from the start

♫ You were a thief, you stole my heart

I love to see little kids singing really sad songs

about love, like their heart's been broken.

Oh, my God, I used to walk around the house,

♫ The greatest love of all

♫ Now you've been talking in your sleep oh oh

I wanna hug him (laughing)

Like, whoever she is, let's go beat her up.

(laughing)

♫ enough

♫ Of our love,

♫ our love

♫ Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough

For such a young age, you have incredible voice control,

and I'm super into the hair flick.

I wrote the song with Jeff Bhasker and Nate Rheuss from Fun,

and I find it interesting,

you can be in the same relationship

and the experience that each person is having

is just completely different.

Johnny, you're awesome.

I love your hair, and you have incredible voice control.

And I want you to be my daughter's boyfriend.

Hold on.

No way.

♫ You stole my heart

What?

When did this happen?

That's like the coolest thing that ever happened to me.

It means a lot that you said I have really good

like voice control.

Coming from you that means a lot.

Your voice is incredible.

I don't know, I'm just really speechless right now,

I don't really know what to say, honestly.

Thank you so much.

♫ When it's good, then it's good

♫ Ah, the night is calling

♫ And it whispers to me softly come and play

Sober, I wrote at 3AM, at a house party,

I wanted everyone to leave, and go home,

and just never come back.

(laughing) It was one of those nights.

♫ To blame

♫ I'm safe

♫ Up high

♫ Nothing can touch me

♫ But why do I feel this party's over?

That's amazing.

Tijana, I love your rasp.

I'm wondering, did you smoke cigarettes, ever,

or is that natural?

'Cause mine's gone, that's 'cause I quit.

And I'm very sad, but I love hearing you have it still.

She watched our video.

My God.

[Man] (mumbling)

(mumbling)

I can't believe this.

We love you, muah.

♫ Just you and your hand tonight

(drums)

Ha, ha, ha, nice.

(laughing)

(guitar)

♫ Ooh, ah, ah, ha ah

♫ Ooh, ah, ah, ha ah

♫ Check it out goin' out on the late night

I like that the drummer is singing.

I play drums, so.

♫ I can tell I just know that it's going down, tonight

It's like if Devo covered your song.

(laughing)

♫ That's when the chick put her hands on me

I love this guy with a cowbell.

(laughing)

♫ I'm not here for your entertainment

♫ You don't really wanna mess with me tonight

♫ Just stop and take a second

Wow, hair metal.

I wrote a hair metal song.

♫ I was fine before you walked into my life

Hit that note.

That's a high note for a boy.

I like seeing boys sing girl's songs.

♫ Keep your drink just give me the money

I could've been a hair metal band,

or a glam rock band, maybe.

♫ Ooh, ah, ah, ha ah

(laughing)

♫ Ooh, ah, ah, ha ah

Uh, uh, ow.

I mean that's rad, that's a different take.

Aw, that's rad.

Well that's a high compliment.

Tell 'em thank you, or I can.

Thank you for saying that.

(laughing)

You're welcome. (laughing)

You're welcome.

(laughing)

That was very cool.

Very cool.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, maybe too much cowbell?

(laughing)

♫ So you better get this party started

♫ Get this party started on a Saturday night

Yes, I've seen this, or heard this.

♫ Everybody's waiting for me to arrive

♫ I got lotsa style, check my gold diamond rings

Yes, I'm a rock opera.

♫ I can go for miles if you know what I mean

♫ I'm comin' up so you better get this party started

Favorite version ever.

Very different take.

♫ So you better get this party started

♫ Sendin' out the message to all of my friends

Get the Party Started was, I stalked Linda Perry,

and she had that song, she had just written it,

and it changed my life, that song.

And I fully come back to it, after what,

it came out in 2001, and in 2017,

I've finally fallen back in love with it.

It's pretty cool.

♫ Get this party started
