Official Thread - P!nk 'Truth' Tour Debuts on Netflix


Recommended Posts

Pop singer Pink sells 320,000 tickets for her 2013 Truth About Love Australian tour in a morning

AUSTRALIANS have snapped up over 320,000 tickets for Pink's 2013 tour this morning.

The tour tally stands at 32 shows nationally - with promoters Live Nation still yet to announce 'final' shows.

Melbourne continues to be the US star's strongest market.

She is now up to 12 shows at Rod Laver Arena, with two new shows for August 16 and 17 on sale at 2pm today from Ticketek.

As with Pink's record-breaking Funhouse tour in 2009, Pink will make several trips to each city rather than playing all the shows at one venue in one block.

Pink, a true pop artist

(CNN) -- One day, many years from now, future generations will look back at this time in our country's history and wonder what in the hell were we thinking.

The Kardashians are famous for no reason, same-sex marriage is controversial for stupid reasons, and somehow the "Twilight" franchise is a cash cow.

But our culture's biggest sin may well be the auto-tuned syrup we've allowed to dominate the pop charts. All-time chart records are handed to vacuous acts such as the Black Eyed Peas and singing awards are given to vocal lightweights such as Taylor Swift.

History will show a dark time in our culture in which a million followers on Twitter became a key component to winning a Grammy.

But thank God for Pink. That's what I was thinking as I was watching her performance during Sunday's American Music Awards. She recreated the video for her current single, "Try," a midtempo ballad about the ups and downs of an imperfect relationship.

Where there is desire

There is gonna be a flame

Where there is a flame

Someone's bound to get burned

But just because it burns

Doesn't mean you're gonna die

You've gotta get up and try try try

Singing words like that live with the right level of emotion that Pink is known for is hard enough. Doing so while in engaged in an athletic pas de deux, complete with lifts, is breathtaking. She received a standing ovation afterward, much in the same way she commanded one at the 2010 Grammys as she swung over the audience's heads on a trapeze, asking:

Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?

Have you ever looked fear in the face and said, "I just don't care"?

It would all seem like a meat-dress wearing gimmick if she didn't have the voice and lyrics to back it up. But she does, and thus we can all breathe a sigh of relief knowing her voice will be there for future generations to discover when looking back at us.

Pink won't be able to scrub our record clean singlehandedly -- there's just too much manufacturing for one person to overcome. But at least there will be evidence for my great-great grandkids to see that we weren't all "American Idol's" sheep. While Christina Aguilera has a tendency to oversing, Britney Spears can't sing, and Lauryn Hill sorta stopped singing, Pink has managed to carve a brilliant 13-year-career by being something that is incredibly rare these days -- an artist.

A complete artist.

Maybe the most underrated artist we've had on the radio in the past 20 years.

That's not to suggest she's been ignored -- Pink has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide. It's just when you look at the amount of publicity given to her in comparison to say, Lady Gaga or Adele, well there is no comparison. We know she is phenomenal, but the others are considered phenomenons. Gaga and Adele are worthy of the accolades, but whenever I listen to Pink's "Dear Mr. President," "Family Portrait" or "Sober," I feel the need to atone for us not making more room for her in the pop culture paradigm.

Billboard magazine -- one of the most respected names in the music industry -- ranked the top five performances from the American Music Awards. For them, Pink's brave rendition of "Try" was second. Tops was Psy doing "Gangnam Style" with MC Hammer.

MC Hammer!?!

Yes ... we're going to have a lot to answer for someday.

P!nk To Appear On Upcoming T.I. Album

"Well, I had so much music man. I recorded like 120-something songs for this project, and I imagined that, you know, if just giving the amount of music that we had left over that we weren't able to put on this project, that we'd do a sequel," T.I. told Rap-Up via HIpHopDX. "So, you know, the sequel to this album will be 'He Who Wears the Crown.' That's the primary reason for the subtitle. That's the purpose of the sequel, so we'll have a platform to display and release these songs."

Tip continued to share details on his friendship with P!nk, who he collaborated with for "Trouble Man" song, "Guns and Roses." "We found that we had a few things in common," he said of P!nk."We clicked. She real people, she from the streets. I'm a real cat, I'm from the streets. We found ourselves in rooms where we were like, 'You know what? These people fake as hell in here. Let's get out of here.'"
