The similarities between these two is crazy

 

Both were released as the 2nd single of their 2006 eras I'm Not Dead & Back To Basics.

 

Both have circus themed music videos and are about grief.

 

But which one do you prefer?

 

 

 

 

Hurt easily clears. Better song, better video, better vocals, better looks.

Who Knew always makes me emotional so voting that

Hurt. Although I like who knew too but Hurt is just too special. 

The one by the Voice of a Generation

 

Thank you for what you've done, forgive all your mistakes  is such a crushing line 

Another fun fact: Both artists didn't want to release these tracks so soon. P!nk wanted U + Ur Hand while Christina wanted Candyman. Eventually they got their wish but the labels favored a ballad instead of back to back upbeat tracks. 

Love both, but Hurt.

Hurt

 

"Hurt" is such a beautiful song. 

Who Knew easily clears. Better song, better video, better vocals, better looks.

Who Knew by a tiny bit, both their best songs and 10/10

 

When You're Gone outstreamed both combined (at least on YouTube)

Hurt 

Who Knew, but both are 12/10

Both are class but Hurt is just on another level.

I felt these a little too much when I was a dramatic 8 yo

Both are great, but I listen to Hurt more often.

I didn't think I would be in the minority but I never actually cared for Who Knew 🙊

Hurt is just one of Xtina's very best

Considering this is ATRL, I think we can assume that Hurt won
