PINK
Alecia Beth Moore, otherwise known as P!nk is an American Singer, who began in the group 'Choice' before breaking away to venture on a solo career in 2000. Pink is famously known for her mischievous behavior and outrageous attitude, which is partly why she has become so huge in the industry. Pink started her music career in 1995 - in the band 'Choice' but chose to go solo in 2000 with her first hit 'There You Go' and has continued to be very successful in the music industry already with six albums after, allowing her to go on touring the world due to her huge fan base. Moreover gaining huge recognition with the big stars she has worked with. I do believe Pink gained huge promotion when she, alongside 'Lil Kim', 'Christina Aguilera' and 'Mya' covered 'Lady Marmalade' for the 'Mouline Rouge' sound track in 2001, creating an image for herself as she kicked off her career, winning her first grammy award.

Pink appeals to such a wide audience of people, categorizing into several genres including: Pop Rock, R&B and Pop. Furthermore becoming the of the most successful artists of her generation having sold an average of 110 million records worldwide as of 2013. As mentioned previously, Pink has released 6 studio albums, including: Cant take me home, Missundaztood, Try This, Im not Dead, Fun house and The Truth About Love. Alog with 4 compilation albums including Missundaztood/ Cant Take Me Home, Pink Box, Greatest Hits... So Far and The Album Collection. Throughout the years, we have seen huge change in Pink, still continuing to favour the 'Punk' look. The first studio album Pink released was mainly R&B creating a worldwide gross of $4'000'000, available digitally and on CD. However, Pink's second album 'Misundaztood' was her most successful album creating an overall gross of $13'000'000.
Here is Pinks debut album in comparison to her most current album. It is evident she is still conveying the punk look, with limited clothing although her full body is shown in the latest as she has grown as an artist, becoming more significant in comparison to her first where she is wearing sun glasses as she is 'cool' and to 'R&B' to not.
From the start Pink has had this 'Rock Star' image about her allowing her to act crazy at times and portray a wild life style. The video above is of her first single where we see her with bright pink hair, maybe to play as a pun to her name. She is quite outrageous at times creating a huge fan base due to her originality to music and quirkiness essence about her. Her video to the single 'So what' shows her upholding the image of a 'rock star' not caring about anything and breaking rules. Her fans love to see this and still enjoy her upbeat music. Another key feature to pink is her hair, she has explored several styles from peroxide blonde to bright pink encouraging others to take a brave step in their imagine, granted she has rocked every look, mainly keeping it short.
Over the years we have began to see a maturity in P!nk. She began to sing more serious songs such as 'Just Give Me a Reason', this may be due to her becoming a mother so she has grown up. Although we still see the mischievous side to Pink, which will probably never disappear. She begins to please her fan base, releasing albums and continuous touring, which in her most resent came out on a zip wire, impressing fans and getting them to want to come too see more. Pink has stated in a previous article how she is 'electric tomboy but kind of hippi kind of gangsta, i don't know if that is a good thing but it is my thing' giving out the message that you don't have to be like everyone else. Moreover is known for her constant charity support, stopping animal cruelty furthermore stating how she is a vegan, reflecting her positively so the audience appeal more so to her. Pink has also been in the media a lot due to her up and down relationship with Joe Hart. They are a true representation of married life, although they have their struggles they work it out in the end and as announced on 'The Ellen Show' have a beautiful daughter, Willow. more over we have seen Pinks life become very family orientated with her family staring in many of her music videos like 'So what', 'jusst give me a reason' and 'True Love'. Overall there is a noticeable change in Pink as we have seen her become maturer although still conveying a 'rock star' lifestyle. Her record label have stayed loyal to her, helping promote her by allowing her to tour and get her music heard. With the colour 'pink' symbolic to her, we've seen several styles all original to her. P!nk is a true star image.
