One of the main reasons I love this song so much, is because it deals with suicide, and the yearning for acceptance in this world. I grew up with thoughts of suicide as a gay adolescent, and up to my early twenties; Let me tell you something, it's not a good feeling to have.
While, many on the right have changed the song to reflect their "Christian" values, or make it about their "relationships," it isn't about that. Don't get me wrong, there were some excellent covers out there, but I had so much trouble finding a good cover, because of that reason. It isn't about "less, less than perfect!" It's "pretty pretty please, don't you ever feel, like your less than f**kin perfect!"
It was the same way with "Born This Way." Removing the lyrics, or changing them to reflect your own life makes it really difficult when the song is trying to send a different message. I'm not being hypocritical here. I mean, there are songs out there where the gender role was changed from "he" to "she," or "her" to "him." I think that's okay, so long as the main message or point is getting across.
Pink quoted,
"Cutting, and suicide, two very different symptoms of the same problem, are gaining on us. (the problem being; alienation and depression. the symptoms; cutting and suicide). I personally don't know a single person who doesn't know at least two of these victims personally." - P!nk.She also goes on to explain,
"that, while the video may be considered shocking, it is intended to open people's eyes to these problems. In addition, P!nk believes the video is a message to everyone who needs help. Pink described the process of making the video as a “very emotional experience” and related the core theme of “Fuckin' Perfect” to her yet-to-be-born baby, saying, “I have a life inside of me, and I want her or him to know that I will accept him or her with open and loving and welcoming arms. And though I will prepare this little munchkin for a sometimes cruel world, I will also equip this kid to see all the beauty in it as well.” She also noted that she expects the video to “Ruffle some feathers,” meaning it would cause controversy."Get this through your f**kin heads people. You need to learn to accept your child for who, and what he is. If he acts a little girly, and likes to play with dolls, let him. If he walks or talks a little funny, who gives a shit. If he grows up loving sports, but you find out he only likes boys - big f**kn deal, He's f**kin perfect! He or she is your child through and through. No blood about it!

yay! I love this! This one is tough, should I go with the hot boy with hot accent?
This one is more difficult than usual. There is no stand out easy to pick winner, but I will have to go with....well...Peter from Czech is hot but I like the way Eypee performed it. Maybe it's unfair because they had a group with an instrumental background, but we are judging who we liked best. Even though white boy rapping was somewhat difficult to get through, I'll have to go with Eypee.
wOW, i AGREE with ryan, this is difficult. I'm going to also go with Eypee, but I liked Peter aslo. His accent is hot. Eypee for me.
Marina Braga for me.
Mimo and I vote for Marina :)
Eypee is upbeat, makes me feel Fukin perfect!!!
Peter for me, I've waited long enough. he's my dude.
