Who is P!nk

Ranked #2,171 in Music, #61,761 overall

"It's about being alive and feisty and not sitting down and shutting up even though people would like you to." - Pink

Alecia Beth Moore (born September 8, 1979 in Doylestown, Pennsylvania), better known by her stage name P!NK, is an American singer-songwriter who gained prominence in early January of 2000. She is most often recognized by her unique, unorthodox fashion sense and soulful sound. Named #12 in the UK Music Hall of Fame of the 21st century, her vocal skills have often been compared to that of the late Janis Joplin, whom Pink cites as one of her idols.

Pink began her career as an R&B artist, signed to the predominately urban label, LaFace Records. She has since complained that because she chose to relinquish creative control to her record label, she did not like the type of music she made at this time, or her image, which included bright pink hair. Her first album, Can't Take Me Home was a substantial success, going double platinum, due to the huge pop and rhythmic radio hit singles "There You Go" and "Most Girls".

Towards the end of 2001, Pink decided to take her career in a new direction and have more creative control. Tired of being marketed as a another cookie-cutter pop act, and eager to become a more serious songwriter and musician, Pink sought the help of former 4 Non Blondes vocalist, Linda Perry. Together, Pink and Perry co-wrote and co-produced most of the tracks on Pink's sophomore album, Missundaztood, which was released in early 2002. The album's more pop rock sound could be heard immediately with its first single, the Linda Perry penned "Get the Party Started". "Get the Party Started" was a hugely commercially successful single, topping the charts in many countries. The album's other singles, "Don't Let Me Get Me", "Just Like A Pill", and "Family Portrait" were also radio and chart successes. (read more)

Quotes

P!nk(asked if she is a proper housewife now) No, we're a very unconventional couple - but I do love to cook and bake cupcakes. We love having people over and singing karaoke too. I get invited to quite a lot of things but, honestly, me and Carey would rather go to a dingy little bar where nobody is and play cards. I did that whole clubbing thing when I was really young. I was so burnt out on clubs by the time I was 17. I balance it out now, I still love to go dancing, but we kinda frequent restaurants and bars more.

(on impersonating Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan & the Olsen twins in "Stupid Girls") I have no idea what their reactions are to the video. I haven't heard anything yet, but to be honest, I don't really care. I would like to clarify that I do actually really like the Olsens. They are college girls, CEOs of their own companies - really smart girls. I'm attacking the general idea more than the people. I just used those people to explain what I meant.

I have never really encountered anybody that was rude to me. Well, not ot my face anyway. Sometimes you might get the odd person in an entourage trying to show off, which does amuse me, but I don't really find them offensive because I don't really care. I've been really lucky because I've met some incredible people, like Steven Tyler and Linda Perry - all the people that I've worked with. I kind of sort through the bullshit and get straight to it.

It's been especially hard for [my parents] hearing me write about things they never knew about... My mom's like, 'Were you really that angry? Was I really that in denial? Was I really that bad a parent?' 'No, Mom - you were great. You didn't try to run me over with your car. I made it up.'
