In a message reportedly posted to her private Instagram account, the "Try" singer wrote that she "felt embarrassed and sad" by what she saw at the awards show. "Music is supposed to inspire. It saved my life. This trash won’t save any kids life," she wrote. "In a world that is even scarier and with lives still worth saving, who will stand up and have soul? Disenfranchised to say the least." While she didn't call out any of the performers directly, she pointed out the only stars who didn't disappoint her. "Let down by my industry peers. Beside Macklemore and pharell and bieber (pre-sob fest) and the weekend, Tori Kelly was dope too," she continued. "The rest was gross and embarrassing and hard for this aging pop star to believe." She also tweeted praise for Tori Kelly. The "rest" included Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj and Demi Lovato -- and her fans were quick to start a social media feud. "I stand by what I said," she wrote. "However, I didn't intend for the angry people of the world to latch on and make it into something it isn't. Peace." "Please look for a feud elsewhere," she added. "I have no issue with Demi Lovato or anyone else. I actually forgot she performed. I have opinions. MANY." Despite the singer's efforts to squash a feud, Demi clearly took issue with her comments. "Cool For The Summer may not 'save kid's lives' or 'inspire' but I'd say Skyscraper & Warrior have done a pretty good job of helping people cope with mental illness," she tweeted on Friday morning. "VMA's are sexy and fun. There's a time and place for everything." P!nk continued to respond with the following set of tweets: You know, this is part of why I'm sad about the VMas and the world in general. Everyone is so nasty and waiting for a fight. I never said Anything about Demi Lovato or called out anyone. I was talking to a friend in response to his disappointment about the show. I agree w him. You can make this into whatever you like, cause that's who we are now, I guess. I'm out. In other news, it's gonna be a beautiful day, I hope you look up from your keyboards and enjoy it http://www.toofab.com/2015/09/04/pink-demi...o-music-awards/

If it was about the performance she really needs to lighten up to be honest That's just how Miley is, and all music is sexualised now, it's just a general thing. It's part of the industry now, for good or bad. It's certainly not a new thing! She didn't really have to get involved either though, if she can state her opinion so can the people she is criticising (or supposedly not criticising).

I found the love, I found the love in me Pronouns: He/Him Joined: 13 December 2007 Posts: 87,451 User: 5,042	P!nk was in the wrong here, by singling out performances for being good and shading the other performances, but started to backtrack when she got called out on it. Oh and Demi's performance was amazing. How she "forgot" about that performance, I don't know. In fact, it's the sort of performance I thought she'd love!

Raining Shitter Joined: 9 March 2008 Posts: 63,090 User: 5,572	It's not so much the performances she has problems with, it's the lyrical content and I agree with her. The vast majority of songs these days are all about the same old things and they sound the same, there's no variety anymore and not alot of songs that have actual meaning to them.

It's not them who write the songs and record them To me, this just seems like she was moaning about certain performances, but then coz she got called out on it (which was obviously going to happen) she decided to backtrack and say it wasn't that at all...

Pink was watching the VMAs when she decided to call out the terrible music. And as for backtracking, it seems to me she wants to speak her mind and not have to be involved in a childish social media feud that the young popstars of today thrive on being involved in.
