yesterday was sunday. and when i go to church, i feel the urge to make confessions. which is exactly what i'm about to do.
i love pink.
i do. i can't help it. her music is raw feeling of exactly what she thinks. she was the bad girl my mom wouldn't let me listen to when she came out with her album m!ssundaztood. i did anyway (sorry mother). i couldn't help it. as a nine year old, let's get it started, was the coolest thing that happened. she's the crazy person inside of all of us, wanting to come out.
this is one of those artists i could go on about for hours. and i think with pink, you either hate her, or you love her. but i'll give ya the facts, and you can decide yourself.
pinks first album was can't take me home. it was a very R&B based album, with a Destiny's Child feel to it. this album shows a lot of the talent pink had to start out with. after that, as we all know, she switched to rock/pop and started a very successful career.
pinks real name is alicia (as seen in her music video so what, when she's cutting down her tree). she was born in september of 1979 in pennsylvania, and no, she did not come out of the womb with pink hair. a much debated question. thank goodness she went back to her blond. i want her hair. she's insanely gorgeous. she writes all of her own music and lyrics. pink was an idiot druggie as a teen. one night, she was at a club, and went up to perform and was totally wasted. someone in the music industry was there and heard her sing, and told her if she wasn't so high she could be produced. she hasn't touched a joint since.
some interesting facts:
pinks been nominated for seven grammy's and has won two
she's been nominated for two MTV VMA's and has won six
pink was just a stage name that she got from the movie reservoir dogs
pink wrote the song so what about her husband, cary hart, during their separation. he agreed to be in the music video, which led to them getting back together. they were never divorced.
pink is an avid member of PETA and has donated thousands for the cause
she loves australia and has given ridiculous amounts of money to their causes
the pink frame that says cruel in the background of the video family portrait is a shout out to animal cruelty
ok i'll shut up. enjoy. family portrait is my favorite song of hers. get it.
and of course. so what.
