Afternoon Aural: Pink
Give a hand for Pink.
The popster bad-ass disappeared from the scene for a few years, but came back strong with last year’s I’m Not Dead. The album didn’t fair too well on the charts, but definitely got a boost with the release of her single, “U + Ur Hand”. Needless to say, we’re total fans. We hope you are, too.
i think Pink’s great and her songs have a good beat, but im kinda irked how she uses the whole dyke image thing while claiming to be straight. Either come out of the closet or quit it with the lesbo-lite antics in your stage show. Bowie, Robbie Williams–Im sick of musicians having it both ways. Even Joan flippin’ Jett won’t actually say she’s queer.
I do like Pink, and I’m glad she’s doing so well, but I’m pretty sure Shirley Manson pulled this look/style 6-7 years ago, with Garbage’s videos for “Beautifulgarbage,” an album that didn’t get nearly enough recognition. It’s been bothering me ever since the release of the video for this song.
