Almost a year after last featuring her, and in light of her recent performance of this song last Sunday at the American Music Awards, it's about time to showcase P!nk again.
When she first came out with Can't Take Me Home in 2000, she seemed like any other R&B singer, singing angry love songs with the twist that her videos were fun to watch, as she was quirky and didn't mind laughing at herself, making funny faces.
When the Moulin Rouge soundtrack came out, though, and with it the mega-hit Lady Marmelade combining P!nk, Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim and Mýa all wearing skimpy clothes in the video, all four vocalists and song producer Missy Elliott all rocketed to (bigger) fame, and at about that time, P!nk's vocal prowess came to shine more.
Over time, with an abundance of tours and videos, she also developed a talent for dancing, which hit its apex in this video, for the song Try, directed by Floria Sigismondi, who has worked with The Cure, Muse, Christina Aguilera and many Jack White projects. It featured Broadway dancer Colt Prattes and is somewhat of an aggressive ballet, inspired by the Parisian street performances known as the Apache dance. The song was originally recorded by GoNorthToGoSouth.
