(Does she not remind you of Sharla?)
Hands down. Pink wins
I can blame Becca for this since she is the one who got me hooked on her in the 9th grade.
Yes I love bands like Linkin Park (who was the runner up here), Bowling for Soup, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga and a ton of others, but Pink just stands above them all. I have rarely come across one of her songs I didn't like and didn't have to flip flop between good and bad albums like some artists put out these days. I never stopped liking her or came back to her later.
As corny as it sounds, I totally feel like I can relate to most of her songs. I often use her lyrics as one liners or as a quirky status on my Facebook page. It's kind of cheating but I love the words in her songs and usually want to post them for everyone. Sometimes just for the shock value ;-)
I got to watch a 3 hour special about Pink on the VH1 channel some time ago and I loved it. It told her personal story and showed a lot of music videoes as well as video from concerts I hadn't seen before. I loved seeing her progression and learning about who she is when she is not on stage.
I use most of her songs to describe mine and Jeremy's relationship because her songs are not the picture perfect love songs. They tell about pain, hate, love, loss, and that false courage everyone tries to have when things go wrong. Her song "So What" was primarily about the break up between her and her fiancee and was written shortly after the engagement was called off. If you watch the music video, you can see how upset she really is about it, even though she'll never admit it or show it in the tabloids.
I can't explain how much I love Pink. It's probably borderline obsession. I am still collecting all of her CDs (even though music has gone digital I still like hard copies); I have her as some of my ringtones; I am constantly looking for her videoes on YouTube; and I would probably give my right arm to have tickets to one of her shows. I'm just saying.
