P!nk is someone else I have a huge amount of respect for.
She was a wayward Philly druggie and dealer that was going nowhere in life. One day she decided to turn her life around and she did. When she was a teenager and her Mom was at work, she had all of the neighborhood kids over and dealt them K. She turned her Mom's house into a K house and kicked the kids out before her Mom got home.
Now, wanting to be different, she learned air stunts, which she does while singing 100% live at every show.
While most of her songs are written by others, they are based on her life experiences and she spends A LOT of time with her writers trying to come up with the perfect song.
One of my favorite performances is also one of her most recent...the Grammy's. It won't let me embed:
