3. De nada. It' stunning.
I learned something from Pink. My impressions were negative because of her look (esp. in the past)...but I heard her on Oprah (oy) and she's very bright & well spoken. the clip proves she can SANG, too!

15. Young people, you don't need to be "entertained" 24x7...

This is a perfect example of how important moments you share with others don't have to have the excitement of your nintendo to be valuable. Seeing kids in this audience gives me a lot of hope that I'd been losing for the last few years. Crying together is as valuable as laughing and MORE powerful! Don't let the corporate world tell you that this isn't so! Kudos to Pink!

7. "Let me tell you about hard work"..
This a an incredibly powerful song. It brought tears to my eyes. This is what we have needed for years; someone to articulate (beautifully) the emotions that roil our souls every god-damned day. Thanks for sharing this...

8. It's in regular rotation on my mp3 player.
That line you quote makes me run a little faster, and get a little more pissed off, every time.

9. For a more comedic Pink, check out "Stupid Girls." A clever send-up
of the Spears, Lohans and Hiltons of pop-culture. And not a bad little pop tune.

Thanks for the link to the "President" video, I hadn't seen it yet. Have to say, I like her voice. And I like her. She's got moxie and spunk...and not the silicone kind.

18. Not to mention she looks 10 times hotter than any of them in the video,
and she's poking fun at them.

I loves me some irony. :)

12. How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream while a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
