I adore her.

Amazing performances and always performing live. All these wannabe "singers" that claim they can't sing live because they are "dancing" and yet she can belt out a tune on the side of a huge building.

This is one of the best performances of her, or anyone, I have ever seen:

I want to watch the carpool karaoke but I can't stand James Corden and I don't want to hear that buffoon murdering singing my beloved Pink songs!

Yeah, I also love her a bit too. Talented, down to earth, intelligent...what's not to like. I like to imagine we would be friends in "real life" if we met 😂

PurplePumpkinHead · 22/11/2017 18:42

Love her. Great singer, amazing mum and a positive role model Star

Sallystyle · 22/11/2017 18:44

She's fucking amazing!

Aworldofmyown · 22/11/2017 18:44

Adore her. Fantastic role model.

Copperspot · 22/11/2017 18:45

I love her! Right from the ‘there you go’ days Grin she was basically the sound of my teen years. I even had my hair dyed with a purple section like in her just like a pill video Grin

MakeMisogynyAHateCrime · 22/11/2017 18:47

Wow what an amazing performance. I have to say I haven't paid much attention to her for many years but she is clearly a very accomplished performer.

Copperspot · 22/11/2017 18:47

Wow just looked it up and just like a pill was 16 years ago!! How did i get so old....

....fondly remembers angry 15 year old me with purple hair

minifingerz · 22/11/2017 18:49

Just in case you need to love her even more 😍

JessiCake · 22/11/2017 18:52

That was amazing!!! Is she really singing live?! Incredible stuff.

My sister met her briefly in a work capacity and said she was very sweet and very shy/polite.

I think she's fabulous.

SciFiFan2015 · 22/11/2017 18:52

I loved her since she drove a motorbike through someone’s window in a video. And no way can Just like a pill be 16 years ago...

Mamabear4180 · 22/11/2017 18:54

Oh wow that's impressive! I felt dizzy just looking at that!

I'm a massive Florence and the machine fan. Total girlie crush and can listen to her music repeatedly for hours. I'm not so much of a fan of P!nk's music but I do admire her for so many reasons.

EastMidsMummy · 22/11/2017 18:55

Yanbu!!! I think she's just amazing & don't know anyone that doesn't love her!

Ordinary singer singing plodding corporate pop music. What's to like?

Kickassname · 22/11/2017 18:56

Pink is amazing in every aspect. She will be a legend one day.

Copperspot omg okay now I'm depressed lol When the hell did 16 years pass by???

JessiCake · 22/11/2017 18:57

EastMids - do you really rate her as 'ordinary'? Who do you rate as good??!

I don't particularly like her music actually but I'm in no doubt that her voice is genuinely fantastic.

BitOutOfPractice · 22/11/2017 18:57

That performance made me anxious! Shock Amazing

EastMidsMummy · 22/11/2017 19:01

Great female singers: Ella, Aretha, Dusty, Darlene Love, Tracey Thorn, Joni Mitchell...

SinglePringle · 22/11/2017 19:04

She’s amazing. Always loved that she went ‘R&B singer, dressed in fuck all? Nah. You’re alright thanks, gonna do it my way’.

She is singing into a live mic / giving a live performance (you hear her breathe at the end) but there’s also a backing track with vocals (understandably! And it takes nothing away from that incredible performance).

MissionItsPossible · 22/11/2017 19:06

minifingerz Thank you for that. I hoped from the still it was Me and Bobby McGee and you didn't disappoint Smile

EastMidsMummy Respectfully, you are either drunk, deaf, or delusional! Grin

I think holding her up against actual LEGENDS like Ella and Aretha is a bit unfair.

I certainly can't think of many current female artists or those within the last couple of decades who have as rich and emotional a voice as she's got. Her voice has a lovely timbre and it's extremely well controlled. She's also refreshingly perfectly on pitch which sounds a small thing but NOBODY ELSE I EVER HEAR these days singing live can do it.

So in the very grand scheme, maybe not 'great'. But certainly far from 'ordinary' either.

MissionItsPossible · 22/11/2017 19:07

The backing track is of the session singers though Single? All her parts are live.

PollytheDolly · 22/11/2017 19:12

She’s amazing. Seen her live and she’s pretty much perfect.

mothergetslippy · 22/11/2017 19:12

Some parts she did, but there was a backing track certainly. You could here the cross over in some of the parts. I just don't think its possible to spin in the air, high above ground and sing 100% live?

I do still think she is great though!

Nanny0gg · 22/11/2017 19:14

Love her to bits and she writes some amazing lyrics.

Ordinary singer singing plodding corporate pop music. What's to like?

I can think of many singers that applies to. Pink isn't one of them.

chipscheeseandcurrysauce · 22/11/2017 19:15

Pink is amazing live 😍😍

I loved her since Misunderstood came out, Family Portrait will forever be my favourite song!
