Pink
Životopis: Pink se skutečně jmenuje Alecia Moore. Narodila se Jamesovi a Judy Moorovým. Zatímco vyrůstala ve Philadephii, její otec hrál na kytaru písně od Roberta Dylana a Dona McLeana, což sloužilo jako inspirace pro začátek její hudební kariéry. Mladá Pink si velmi zamilovala hudbu a pokud nemusela mluvit, tak raději zpívala. Ráda chodila do Philly klubu místo, které jí umožnilo vyjádřit sama sebe zpěvem a tancem. Ve třinácti se seznámila s populárním tanečníkem z Philly klubu, se kterým začala tancovat a zpívat s jeho rapovou kapelou "Schools of Thought".
Ve čtrnácti složila svou první píseň. Psaním písní vyjadřovala své pocity, které získala během svého dětství a dospívání. Každý pátek večer navštěvovala klub Fever, kde zažila svých 5 minut slávy. Když jí některé vystoupení nevyšla, tak dokázala využít těchto negativních zkušeností jako palivo své ctižádosti.
Jeden pátek se v klubu zastavil obchodní zástupce z MCA Records, který hledal někoho, aby zaplnil místo v nové R&B-kapele. Písně Pink se mu zalíbili a požádal ji, aby se zúčastnila konkursu do skupiny s názvem Basic Instinct. Pink měla však pocit, že do skupiny nezapadá. Basic Instinct byl pro Pink jen přechodná záležitost. Další skupina, kde se Pink objevila, byla Choice. Přesto nedokázala v žádné skupině zapadnout, nejlépe se cítí jako sólová zpěvačka.
Jednoho dne se Pink zeptal Darryl Simmons, zda by pro něj něco nenapsala. Ona souhlasila a tím začala její vlastní kariéra.
Její debutové album "Can't Take Me Home" vytvořila na jaře 2000. Hned po uvedení se album stalo velmi oblíbené a získalo si samou chválu. První singl "There You Go", se ihned po uvedení dostal do TOP 40 nejhranějších singlů v USA.
Druhý singl "Most Girls", slavil stejné úspěchy jako jeho předchůdce, jestli ne více. Pink je díky svému temperamentu nazývána novodobou Madonnou.
Své druhé album s názvem "M!ssundaztood“ vydala v roce 2001.
Family Portrait
Uh, uh, some deep shit, uh, uh
Momma please stop cryin, I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and its tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed
I told dad you didn't mean those nasty things you
said
You fight about money, bout me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ain't easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, you'll see
I don't want love to destroy me like it has done

I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything

I'll go to sleep at night
Trouble
No attorneys
To plead my case
No opiates
To send me into outta space
And my fingers
Are bejeweled
With diamonds and gold
But that ain't gonna help me now
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I disturb my town
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
You think your right
But you were wrong
You tried to take me
But I knew all along
You can take me
For a ride
I'm not a fool out
So you better run and hide
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
If you see me coming
Down the street then
You know it's time to
Go (and you know it's time to go
cause here comes trouble)
No attorneys
To plead my case
No opiates
To send me into outta space
And my fingers
Are bejeweled
With diamonds and gold
But that ain't gonna help me now
You think your right
But you were wrong
You tried to take me
But I knew all along
You can take me
For a ride
Cause I'm not a fool out
So you better run and hide

Yeah trouble now
