About
Pink |
|
Although she was initially viewed as yet another face in the late-'90s crowd
of teen pop acts, Pink quickly showed signs of becoming one of the rare
artists to transcend and outgrow the label. she's only 21 years old and has
the same color hair as most children's troll dolls, Pink's tendencies and
undeniable talent prove that she's more than just a passing phase in today's
world of musical talents. there's a sparkle in Pink's eyes that hint at a
devilish sensuality. Rapping about breakups in "There You Go" and the bling
in "Most Girls", everything in this 21-year-old singer/songwriter's life is
just rosy.
"I was extreme... from skateboarder to hip-hopper to rave child to lead
singer of a rock band -- I did it all, and all at the same time." -Pink

Pink's Birthday |
Christened
Alecia Moore, Pink was born September 8, 1979, to parents James and Judy.
While growing up in Philadephia, her father played Bob Dylan and Don McLean
songs on the guitar, which served as inspiration to Pink's pursuit of a
musical career.
A young Pink proclaimed her love for music by running through her house
singing songs, and creating her own fantasies by doing so. While growing up,
the Philly club scene provided her the venue to express herself by both
singing and dancing. At the age of 13, Pink met a popular Philly club dancer
named Skratch, who she started dancing with. This led to her singing backup
in his rap group, Schools of Thought.

Pink was spotted
one night by an executive for MCA, who asked her to audition for an RB group
called Basic Instinct; although she got the gig, the group imploded not long
after. She was quickly recruited for a female RB trio called Choice, which
signed to L.A. Reid and Babyface's LaFace label on the strength of their
demo; however, they too disbanded due to differences over musical direction.
During Choice's brief studio time, producer Daryl Simmons asked Pink to
write a bridge section for the song "Just to Be Loving You".
Pink recorded her solo debut, Can't Take Me Home, with a variety of
songwriting partners and dance-pop and RB producers. Released in 2000, the
album was a double-platinum hit; it spun off three Top Ten singles in "There
U Go," "Most Girls," and "You Make Me Sick." She toured that summer as the
opening act for N Sync, but soon found herself tired of being pigeonholed as
strictly a teen act despite her sassy, forthright persona. As she set about
working on her follow-up album, Pink took part in the remake of Patti
LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade" featured on the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, which
also featured powerhouse divas Christina Aguilera, Mya, and Lil' Kim. The
song was a massive hit, topping the charts in both the U.S. and U.K. Pink
released her next single, "Get the Party Started"; it became her biggest,
most inescapable hit to date, climbing into the Top Five. Pink next issued
Try This in November 2003. The album was a bit more rock-oriented. Her next
album, I'm Not Dead, appeared that April; its first single, "Stupid Girls,"
quickly became a hit, and the album reached the Top Ten. |

the Emmy
Awards more entertaining (and nipple slippy) than the MTV Music Video
Awards. It was painful watching that show. From Jack Black's incredibly
lame jokes, to the horendous performances that had me hitting the mute
button every five minutes, and the absolutely retarded Britney
Spears/Kevin Federline thing, watching this show felt like torture.
There were a few highlights, like OK GO doing a live version of their
treadmill dance, Abigail Breslin, the little girl from Little Miss
Sunshine (one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time), Sarah
Silverman's dig at Paris Hilton (which could have been better), Al Gore
bringing the environment back (like Justin Timberlake is bringing sexy
back), and, um... That's it, actually. This show really sucked. But that
live treadmill dance was really cool. |

I Don't Need To See: Pink's Nipples |
Along
with Nicole Richie in a bikini, something I don't need to see is Pink's
nipples. Now, you might be saying "dude, your whole site is about
nipples," and you would be right, but there's just something about Pink
that I find a little disconcerting. I don't know, maybe it's that she's
a man, or just really butch, or that she's just not very attractive, but
if I had to take it or leave, I think I'd choose the latter.
