P!nk

The Janis Joplin of Pop Music. A truly awesome and talented pop singer who is far more talented then most of the other crappy singers who've been stinking up the charts in recent years. Born Alecia Beth Moore, P!nk's early life was marked with rough points, such as her parents divorcing, developing asthma, and struggling with substance abuse in her teenage years. P!nk was originally part an all girl R&B group called Choice, however, she became a solo artist after record producer L.A Reid saw her as the group's only talent. Many of P!nk's songs deal with serious issues, such as combating sexism (Stupid Girls), losing a friend to drugs (Who Knew), abusive relationships (Just Like a Pill), combating self harm and suicide (Fuckin' Perfect), and struggling with personal vices (Sober). Since her introduction into the music industry, P!nk has won three Grammys, seven MTV Music Video Awards, five Billboard Music Awards and is looked upon by many young women as an inspiration, she is indeed one of the all time greats.
