The Bobby McGee cover gives me goosebumps with the passion she had in it. I think she does equally well on the Led Zepplin cover but I'm not a fan of that song as much so it doesn't hit as hard for me.

I think she REALLY solidified herself as an older artist. Im sure she has young fans but i think she is considered an icon for that female mid 30s mother demo and older.

Has to be followed up by Whitney Houston I Learned from the best in order to be historically accurate for the Roscoe’s dance floor.

I don’t have vivid memories of everything from back then, but these two songs specifically bring memories of getting shoved out of the way so those queens could get to the dance floor. It was literally the “move. I’m gay.” of its time.

moontiara16@reddit

LOL! Thank you for the music!

My wallet was stolen out of my purse 10 years ago at Hydrate. I was hysterical about the “betrayal” but the strongest memories are the great music and amazing people who raised me up when I felt so down.

Love and miss Chicago. Now I’m just an old overweight mom who reminisces about the good old days. Wishing you happiness and the best fucking moves in the room!

She buys banned books and hands them out at tour stops. She donates to charities and causes that I feel are important. She didn't allow herself to be overly sexualized in a time of blonde barbie bimbo pop stars. She's loud and proud about who she is and what she wants for the world.

She's fucking awesome!

Her songs are catchy as hell and she's a blast to see live.

And while I don't know all the real details, it sounds like most of her songs are about her hating, loving, breaking up with, getting back together with or wanting to murder her partner who she's been on and off again with for a few decades. So... maybe not the best personal life, but it makes for good music.

She's not an artist who I would say is my favorite. But my wife and kids love her music and I don't mind when it comes on. Hell at this point I probably know most of the words to her songs.

palebluedot1984@reddit

Of all the pictures you could have used, you chose that one. I think she's an incredible performer, writer, and singer, and seems like an all round damn good person.

I love her music. She's basically the same age so her albums in my college years were about angsty family stuff and partying. As she matured so did her lyrics. It's kinda cool the way she soundtracks various stages of my life.

[-]

Sudsy14QKA@reddit

Not only could I listen to her sing all day, she’s an inspiring human. She absolutely makes time for young fans and inspires them. My friends young daughter wore her hockey jersey to a show and pink called her out on stage.

She’s very talented, but just not my personal favorite genre of music (I like 80s hard rock / metal)

I cant stay on your life support. there's a shortage in the switch

I can't stay on your morphine cause it's making me itch

Whenever her music is on in my car, it makes me dizzy. Her and her backup singer are in the same pitch but slightly different tone that has an echoing effect.

Another down to Earth person and does a lot with various organizations like Human Rights Campaign, Save the Children, etc. She's cool. I don't really listen to her music. She is using her fame for good like Avril Lavigne. 👍👍

I just wish there was a Part 2 of Get This Party Start aaah’d

So you’ve now started this party… what now? Singing? Dancing? Fighting? Fornicating? The possibilities are endless.

Don’t get me started on the after party or the next day party aftermath (parts 3,4,5,…6?)

I don’t like her music. That’s the only opinion I have of her.

HoneyWhiskeyLemonTea@reddit

She's one of the few punk rockers who struck me as being honestly punk rock. With so many female punks, it was either bubblegum punk, or they reinvented themselves over and over. But P!nk? Nah. She's just an unapologetic, badass punk chick living life the way she wants, and doesn't give half a shit what anyone thinks.

We ran into her at Disneyland a few years ago. Could not have been nicer. Watched the documentaries about her and we are definitely fans of her as a person. My wife is a bigger fan of her music than me.

[-]

sleeperninja@reddit

I disliked her when she first started as a rap artist, and respected her position when she admitted to only doing it as an attempt to “break out” of a production cycle. I don’t know how accurate my recollection of that is, because I’m not that deep into the story, for sure.

That being said, she’s got a great voice, soul, and conviction in her storytelling.

I think pink is a pretty cool guy. She just goes out on stage and doesn’t afraid of anything.

Right? I think maybe that was the point?

I distinctly remember reading an article in the Montreal Gazette about how she was being discriminated against as a light-skinned black woman (that neither black audiences nor white ones were allowing her to become uber successful because “she didn’t belong”). It was back before simply Googling her ethnicity would have been a thing. That journalist was so wrong.

Ninja-Panda86@reddit

She's my favorite singer through and through. She has an amazing voice, but more than that, she tells authentic stories through her songs. She speaks to experiences I've also had growing up, and at times it feels we grew up kind of together, learning about the world, then learning about love, and then learning about family and loss together. I've watched tons of interviews with her, and her band, and she's a sweet, humble person who loves the people she works with. She's not stuck up, or full of shit. And if none of this was enough, she doesn't just sing and put on fancy outfits at her shows. Oh no - She gets in ribbons and does full on aerial dances for the audience. So you get this half-trapeze act of her swinging in the air, above jets of fire, while singing!!! (I mean, I can barely walk and chew bubble gum).

gif

I worked for a radio station in Boston 25 years ago when she was doing promo shows before her first record came out and we were stuck in a small room for like an hour. Just the two of us. I had no idea who she was but she was a total gem. We just shot the shit for the hour while we were both waiting to be told what to do by our respective managers. I ran into her like 10 years later, when she was super insane famous, and it was like we were still in the room. I haven’t seen her or talked to her in a good while, but I hope she is still a good shit.

I didn't pay much attention to pop, so didn't really listen to her. Then she was at a festival in Ireland one year and I wanted to see the act after her, decided I'd watch her while I waited.

It was absolutely pouring rain. She spent most of her set standing out at the front of the stage, with the crowd, in a white vest. Everyone else had stayed way back under the half-roof thing over the stage. She was really engaged with the crowd, chatting, copying their dance moves, just absolutely raising the energy of thousands of tired and soaked young people with pure charisma.

I quickly realised that she was:

A) incredibly talented with some genuinely good tunes

B) pretty cool, having a bunch of fun with everyone in the wet and the muck

I had already caught wind of the whole "being different is rebellious" thing by the time she came out so I wasn't impressed.

Standard pop star. Culture vulture with her first album. I like some of her songs. I think she has a sound that will resonate through the decades.

She is much more inspired than others of her era, which were copy paste pop stars. That's a good thing. I think she has a fine career.

She's nothing ground breaking. Solid pop star.
