( MUSIC CHANGES )

NARRATOR (V.O.):

For over a decade, Pink has

forged an exceptional career.

The controversial star

has been a regular fixture...

on the world's charts

since 2000.

After selling 40 million albums

and 70 million singles

globally...

she is indisputably one

of the best selling musical

artists of all time.

The girl from Pennsylvania

who got the party started...

recorded her first album

at 15...

and is now recognized as one

of the most daring and complex

performers of the modern era.

I'm old school, I believe in

taking what you want and

changing it if it's not right.

And just having fun, sex, drugs

and rock and roll, man.

NARRATOR (V.O.):

Known for her "tough girl"

image...

in a world of bland performers,

Pink is one of a kind.

Sorry for asking this,

are you a lesbian?

Do you want me to be

a lesbian?

I don't like anything

that's not dangerous.

I got hog-tied in the air at

about 30 feet, night number two.

It's fun, especially when you

can scare the crap out

of everyone...

that's working on the tour,

every night.

Makes you feel good.

I hope I never grow up.

I feel like I've actually

regressed.

Always...

NARRATOR (V.O.):

The outspoken star is

refreshingly open and honest.

In a sterile industry,

that is usually anything but.

PINK (V.O.):

Everyone's very good at being

diplomatic and I'm not.

I'd never learned that.

I tend to piss off a lot

of people.

Working with Pink is not just

working with an artist...

it's like one of the biggest

artists in the industry.

I remember her rehearsal

for the Brit Awards...

her having some deep words

about choreography...

thinking backwards idea,

"I don't like this."

And we were like,

"Oh, okay."

That freaked me out

a bit.

The Brit Awards were like a day

away and we were like...

"Whoa, we've just had

these nice rehearsals."

It's cool, 'cause

we have to get it done.

She had an idea of what she

wanted her piece naturally

to look like.

The choreographer and the rest

of the team had to kind

of conform to the idea...

which meant we changed

a lot of the show.

She's done some

really strong stuff.

She's challenged the President.

She's been quite radical

in that way.

Well, my dad served in Vietnam.

My brother's in the Air Force

as we speak.

I don't agree

with either one of them...

and the only thing I'll say

about that...

is that Michael Moore

is my hero.

She has got an outspoken

attitude...

and I greatly admire her

for that.

The wild side of Pink's image...

is what I think people

like about her...

what people are interested

in about her.

I mean, if you speak your mind,

it's just telling the truth...

and real, and if people

don't like it--

And no offense to... well,

okay, offense, whatever.

I don't really care.

I'm making fun of it,

'cause that's what I do.

No one else talks sh--,

so why shouldn't I?

NARRATOR (V.O.):

Alecia Beth Moore,

better known as Pink...

grew up in Doylestown,

Pennsylvania.

Her mother was a nurse and her

father, a Vietnam veteran.

Alecia's interest in music

began at an early age.

She was born in Philadelphia

in 1979.

She did gymnastics for eight

years or so...

when she was younger and her

first dream...

was to be an Olympic gymnast,

so it's obviously something that

has stayed with her.

She does huge gymnastics,

she did eight years of training

as a gymnast...

like pulling herself

around stage.

NARRATOR (V.O.):

There is no denying the

devastating impact...

of Alecia's parents' divorce...

which occurred when she

was nine years old.

They had a very tempestuous

relationship and divorced

when she was young.

She's always sort of battled

with that.

It could be reasonably argued

that Pink made her mark by

exploring, examining...

and then making records...

based around memories

of her childhood pain.

All our tests, that dig deep...

to find whatever it is that

gives them honesty and

integrity...

and if they can do that, it's

gonna ring with a higher truth.

She's genuinely just trying

to work some stuff through...

and make art out of it, which is

all artists are trying to do.

When people say you're soulful,

like, your soul--

It's hard to explain, like you

have to have been exper--

You have to have

experienced things.

You have to have been

through something...

to be able to pull that

from deep inside.

She did a song with her father

a few years ago.

She sort of described it as

quite a healing process for her.

She's challenged herself

in her songwriting...

to do something original.

It was something I told him we'd

do when I was a little girl...

and I like doing

what I say I'm gonna do.

I like to be able

to complete thoughts.

And also my dad is a bad-ass...

and he's this tough,

know-it-all...

and for once, we were able

to reverse roles...

and I was able to give him

something...

and show him something

he'd never done before...

and would have not been able

to do had it not been for me.

So, it was creepy, kind of,

'cause it was total role

reversal and--

But beautiful at the same time,

because I got to see the humble,

sort of nervous side...

of a man that I've looked up

to my whole life.

She bought her daddy a Rolex

as soon as she got her first

platinum record...

because he'd had to sell his

Rolex to look after her

as a child.

Oh!
