20 Hit Songs Meant For Other Singers - "Whataya Want From Me" Turned Down By: P!nk Recorded By: Adam Lambert - Billboard

20 Hit Songs Meant For Other Singers - "Whataya Want From Me" Turned Down By: P!nk Recorded By: Adam Lambert - Billboard Adam Lambert's biggest hit to date could have ended up on "Funhouse" by P!nk, who co-wrote the track with Max Martin and Shellback before delivering it to the "American Idol" runner-up. P!nk eventually recorded her own version of "Whataya Want From Me," complete with the exact same arrangement, and placed it on her "Greatest Hits… So Far!!!" compilation in 2010 -- but Lambert's rafter-reaching vocals still score the victory in a side-by-side comparison.
