小简介
这位留着亮丽粉红色短发， 一身酷炫装扮的新世代辣妹Pink，有着菲律宾的血统， 却在法国尼斯举办的超级模特儿选秀表演会上，一鸣惊人而被唱片公司发掘，并成为新世代酷炫乐团TLC的师妹。不同的是，虽然有着类似的外表， 但除了酷似TLC以重节奏的Hip-Hop舞曲为主外，Pink更唱出足以和Janet Jackson、Toni Braxton媲美的节奏蓝调情歌， 尤其在转音和浑厚的嗓音运用上，也令人惊讶不已，是以让LaFace将其视为秘密武器。
虽然年纪轻轻才21岁， Pink却已被媒体赞誉为“下一个麦当”。纵然这个推论尚言之过早， 但这位顶着粉红惊世发色的女歌手，确实已经撂下了“我要接收全世界， 然后把它漆成粉红色”这样的豪语。自信、率真、直言不讳， Pink常说她的主要目的就是打破陈规。而身为一位在人才济济的节奏蓝调乐坛中打拼的白人女歌手， 事实上她可说已经粉碎了这个主战场中既有的惯例了。
Pink生长于费城郊外一个名为Doylestown的小镇。本名Alecia Moore(艾蕾莎摩儿)的她，从小就在擅长吉他的保险业务员父亲教导下，学会许多鲍布狄伦和唐麦克林的歌曲， 而她母亲则是个喜欢把自己打扮的跟个歌手似的新潮老妈。7岁时她因为在夏令营中被顽皮的男孩当众扯下裤子并大喊“看吶！她变成粉红色啦！”， 而从此得到了“Pink”这个绰号。
早在小学一年级时， Pink就知道自己以后想当歌手，而事实上，她在学校里除了体育成绩最为突出之外， 音乐俨然占据了她课余的所有时间。13岁时她认识了堪称是良师益友的费城舞池高手Skratch，并开始为他的Rap组合Schools Of Thought担任和声。在这个短暂的工作之后， 她继续在费城目前已关闭的舞厅Club Fever中磨练音乐技巧，那儿的DJ准许她在每周五晚上出场表演5分钟。在一次演出之后，有个MCA唱片公司的代表主动表示，希望Pink能够加入一个名为Basic Instinct的演唱组合。 于是Pink与另外两个女孩便草草成军，但据说没多久她就被踢了出来， “她们讨厌我”Pink坦诚地表示，“不过我不在乎，我根本不觉得自己属于任何一个团体。”
仅管演唱之路出师不利， 但不信邪的Pink又加入了另一个更有前景的节奏蓝调三人女子组合Choice。 在没有经纪公司撑腰的情况下，她们寄了许多试听带给各大唱片公司， 而五大唱片公司也对她们表示了高度的兴趣。 最后Choice选择与LaFace唱片签约，主要是因为她们希望能与金牌制作人Babyface合作。 紧接着，LaFace安排三人到亚特兰大总部受训(这时Pink刚好被退学)， 她们在一间木屋里头接受体力与声音上的密集训练。 97年12月，蓄势待发的Choice在LaFace的年终耶诞派对上，特别为公司老板L.A. Reid进行了一场演出。
Reid对于Choice的演出没有太大兴趣 ，但对Pink倒是印象颇深，于是便力邀她在该厂牌旗下做个人发展。 于此同时，Pink也发现了自己的创作能力，并且继续磨练自己力道十足的女高音。 她先是为戴瑞西蒙的作品《Just To Be Loving You》谱写了副歌，接着又受Reid之邀一起与She is kspeare、112甚至Babyface等人共同创作。 在短短几个月之间，Pink不但完成了处女作中超过半数的歌曲，还与EMI签下了值钱的创作合约。
在Reid与Babyface的监制下，Pink的首张个人专辑《Cant Take Me Home》在2000年4月正式推出，取得了很不错的成绩。 随后在2002 年初她的又一张专辑《M!ssundaztood》彻底的让歌迷们为之狂热。
个性张扬的Pink在音乐方面的天分不可磨灭， 这使得她必然会成为乐坛最耀眼的明星...
Although initially viewed as another face in the late-'90s crowd of teen pop acts, Pink quickly transcended and outgrew that label with her combination of pop songcraft and powerhouse, rock-influenced vocals. Born Alecia Moore on September 8, 1979, in Doylestown, PA (near Philadelphia), Pink received her nickname as a child, years before she dyed her hair accordingly. She grew up in a musical family and was a regular on the Philadelphia club scene by the age of 13, first as a dancer and then as a backing vocalist for the local hip-hop group Schoolz of Thought. At 14, she began writing her own songs; the same year, a local DJ at Club Fever began inviting her on-stage to sing a song every Friday.
Pink was spotted one night by an executive for MCA Records, who asked her to audition for an R&B group called Basic Instinct. Although Pink's strong vocals landed her the gig, the group imploded not long after. She was quickly recruited for a female R&B trio called Choice, which signed to L.A. Reid and Babyface's LaFace label on the strength of their demo; however, they too disbanded due to differences over musical direction. During Choice's brief studio time, producer Daryl Simmons asked Pink to write a bridge section for the song "Just to Be Loving You." Impressed with the results, Pink rediscovered her songwriting muse, and an equally impressed L.A. Reid soon gave her a solo deal with LaFace.
Pink recorded her solo debut, Can't Take Me Home, with a variety of songwriting partners and dance-pop and R&B producers. Released in 2000, the album was a double-platinum hit; it spun off three Top Ten singles in "There U Go," "Most Girls," and "You Make Me Sick." She toured that summer as the opening act for *N Sync, but soon found herself tired of being pigeonholed as strictly a teen act despite her sassy, forthright persona. As she set about working on her follow-up album, Pink took part in the remake of Patti LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade" featured on the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, which also featured powerhouse divas Christina Aguilera, Mya, and Lil' Kim. The song was a massive hit, topping the charts in both the U.S. and U.K. while expanding Pink's own audience.
Toward the end of the year, Pink released her next single, "Get the Party Started," which climbed into the Top Five and became the singer's most inescapable hit to date. Her accompanying sophomore album, M!ssundaztood, quickly went double platinum; it boasted a more personal voice and a more eclectic sound, plus heavy contributions from ex-4 Non Blondes singer Linda Perry, who helped bring some more rock muscle to Pink's sound (as did guest appearances by Steven Tyler and Richie Sambora). M!ssundaztood attracted positive critical notices as well, and its second single, "Don't Let Me Get Me," became another fast-rising Top Ten hit.
Pink next issued Try This in November 2003. The album continued Pink's progression toward more rock-oriented material, due in part to the songwriting collaboration of Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong on eight of the album's tracks. Try This' lead single, "Trouble," cracked the upper regions of Billboard's Top 40 and earned Pink a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. On the home front, Pink wed motocross racer Carey Hart — whom she had initially met at 2001's X-Games — on January 7, 2006, in Costa Rica. Her next album, I'm Not Dead, appeared that April; its first single, "Stupid Girls," quickly became a hit, while "Who Knew" and "U + Ur Hand" both cracked the Top Ten. I'm Not Dead reached platinum status in several countries and helped ramp up anticipation for Pink's follow-up, Funhouse, which arrived in October 2008. "So What," the album's leadoff single, became her first number one hit since "Lady Marmalade."
