Would you go to a Pink...

By the way, she doesn't sing live. Like most singers who do an acrobatic stage show, she lip synchs. If I want to listen to a recording, I'll pop in a cd or listen on my Ipod. However, Pink is not currently and will never be anything that I will listen to.


This was put to bed with the video clip of her getting dragged off stage and into the barriers (in Germany, I believe?) at a show. She's singing live, dude.


And absolutely, I'd go see Pink! She is, IMO, one of the best vocalists to come along in many, many years.
 
I wouldn't go....but then there's a ton of female singers who I wouldn't care to see...

because:-


Many of the female vocalists nowadays tend to sing in the high upper trebles and they like a pitch that to them might sound great but to me is effing downright annoying.

They like to hang on notes for the sheer sonic effect....nothing to do with music .....they just like piercing your eardrums for you.

Being constantly nagged at by your wife/girlfriend.....or.....listening to many female pop vocalists...same thing. You find yourself just wanting to slip away and enjoy a quiet whiskey somewhere.

That doesn't describe Pink.

And if you are constantly nagged at by your wife/girlfriend, then you are doing something wrong.
 
I would go to see Eva Gardner play bass. She's quite good. Sure I'd go to a Pink show, and I bet I'd have a good time. And I'm semi-old. I would rather go see Winny Puhh, but I'd have to go to Estonia or Finland for that.
