Biography

Alecia Beth Moore was born in Doylestown, Pennsylvania on September 8, 1979. For as far back as she can remember, all she ever wanted to do was sing. She would sing every chance she got - school plays, gospel at church, punk bands at 13. She said: "Any problem I've ever had just fades away when I'm on stage."

When Alecia was only 7 years old, her parents split up, which was the milestone in a life torn apart. Her father, Jim, was a Vietnam Veteren, and her mother, Judy, was an ER nurse - she has a brother, Jason, who is two years older than she is.

The turning point in her "career" came when she was just 16 years old: she was at a club and her friends told her to get up on stage and sing, so she did. The DJ told her that she had a good voice and that if she came back on Friday's he'd give her a guest spot.

Not long after that, she was signed by LA Reid and she was recording her first album, Can't Take Me Home.

The name "P!nk" came about for various reasons. One being that growing up, her and her friend's favorite movie was Resevoir Dogs. The character Mr. Pink in the movie is a wise-ass and all of Alecia's friends agreed that she was Mr. Pink... The name stuck. (However LA and her decided that they should drop the "Mr." because it was likely to confuse people!) She now even has a tattoo that says "Mr. Pink" - it's on her inner left thigh. (She has over 20 tattoos all together!)

After her first album was such a success, P!nk recorded her second album, M!ssundaztood. She felt that her first record didn't portray who she really was so she went against what everyone told her to do, and she created M!ssundaztood. The entire album is a realistic portrayal of her life. Brutal, honest, painful, but very real. Very truthful. After that album was released she had finally made a name for herself. P!nk is quoted as saying: "The feedback that I got from listeners and from music lovers was, like, 'thank you for helping me not commit suicide', 'thank you for not being skinny', and to me, that's bigger than music. I don't care what anyone says about me. I always thought there was a reason for the pain, there was a reason for the experience, there was a reason for everything. And here it is: this is my reason. This is my mission." Her dream was fullfilled with M!ssundaztood. She was making music for the reasons she always wanted to: to get herself heard, to tell the truth. She said: "When I made M!ssundaztood, it was like 'yes, finally I will be heard.'" She's also quoted as saying: "I accept the challenge that kids are going to be relating to me moreso than to a lot of other people because I am telling the truth, and I have been there."

In November of 2003, P!nk released her third album, Try This. At the age of 24 when the album was released, P!nk had matured drastically, and so had her music. She says: "I have a humble side to me. I have a sweet side to me. I have a girly-girl side to me. I have, you know, the hopeless romantic, and tough outer shell... I'm like an egg. I'm like a hard-boiled egg." When she was creating Try This, she just wanted it to be more fun. She didn't want to get up on stage and cry everytime she performed, like she did with M!ssundaztood. She just wanted to have fun. There are many songs on the album that have heavy messages, but they're conveyed through upbeat tempos and hard-rock music. Try This also contains the very first love song that P!nk ever wrote. It's appropriately called Love Song.

"I believe that in this world there are leaders and there are followers, and I hope to be a leader every morning when I wake up. For me, it's not really a choice, like I don't set out like 'I'm gonna be different.' I just, you know, I go with what's in my heart. And it's a really good feeling when you go against the grain and I wish more people would do it."

"I love to sing. All through my life. As worthless as you can feel when you're younger, and as pointless and as small, I always loved to sing - and I knew I was good at it."

pink wins easily!!!!! i hate avril;!	i_heart_emo_boys187
pink should win avrils a loser	the_anarchist
i hate them both. avril is a poser and pink is NOT ROCK. (pop people she is POP, now remember that) but if i had to choose one, pink is waaaaaayyy better than that avril bitch.	waLkingContridiktion27
pink is totally rock but somehow she is, what about trouble or just like a pill ... and she sings pop too get the party started, dont let me get me, she sang rap respect .. she sings almost everything and that what made me love her!!!	punky_pink
sorry i ment she isnt totally rock...	punky_pink
ya and she sings R&b too , there you go	punky_pink
pink probs her songs are less depressing..	whoamiagain
apparently tim armstrong (the one and only) co wrote her album?! is this true?!	whoamiagain
i dont listen to pink actually so i wouldnt know if she sings rock or not. anyway, I HATE HER!	waLkingContridiktion27
ha ha ha .. really now y do u bother coz u shouldnt judje a singer without listening to her/him atleast.. i didnt loooove pink just bec i felt like it coz i saw interviews and she was funny smart and by the way she wrote her albums (all of them) with some help from linda perry and tim (and tim helped her with only the last one) trust me 4 that, she might appear not that good looking artist, but that's bec she puts makeup in a crazy way ( i saw her without make up, she is really nice)anyway her look is not that bad after all !!!pink rock	punky_pink
Yah i think pink should win because i dont think that avril cares about her fans!	benjroxmysox27
I don't think Pink & Avril are competing at all for queen of rock. They are just writing and singing. Both are great song writers. Their styles are different but their messages are in many way very similar. I like them both as song writers.	GrayBeard
So here is how I score it. Pink "Missundaztood" is stronger than Avril "Let Go", but Pink's "Try This" is weaker than "Let Go".	GrayBeard
lol...i like to listen to pink when i go to sleep!!	skank_dog
Is that so you can dream about her?	GrayBeard
hahaha i listen to mariah cary when i find it hard to sleep, but i agree with u gray.. missundastood is way better than try this, but linda perry told her that ppl are getting bored from hearing her life stories so she is writing songs on other ppl now but family portrait is the best when i listen to it i feel that i want to cry!!	punky_pink
punky_pink - that family portrait is one sad sad sad song, especially when u realize how many people have had the same experiences in their family growing up. Its great song like that that make me thing that anyone who does not like pink has just not listened to her stuff.	GrayBeard
Oh come on there is no contest here! Comparing Pink to Asshole LaVigne is like comparing Lord Of The Rings to A Roadrunner cartoon. Pink is intellegent, articulate, talented and has passion and wisdom in her voice. Avril is a brain dead little twit who thinks that acting like a mindless fool who doesn't know anything about anything makes her cool & "Punk". Spare me! How the hell can someone who had to be "schooled" by her bandmates on who The Sex Pistols and The Clash were consider herself punk ? and we all recall the David Bowie fiasco where this stupid idiot didn't even know who he was while she read his name on the list of 2003 Grammy nominations and used the bullshit excuse "So what I was born in 1984 how should I know who he is ?" Apparently she's never watched TV, listened to the radio or read any magazines as David Bowie is still very much a celebrity. I'm amazed she can even read at all. Everytime you see her in interviews she looks like she's drooling. You may consider Pink rock or you may consider her Pop but there's no question she has far more potential than that other fool !	groovyovergwen
anarchist ur such a fucking poser bitch. and i should know, so dont argue.	me_myself_and_i
Wow, actually got some good discussion going here! Appears that Pink is winning the contest. Of course, this is a Pink forum so one can figure on more support for Pink. As far as Avril not knowing Bowie, Clash, Sex Pistols who cares. If someone comes out of a cave and has never heard anyone and can write music so be it. Avril is not a music researcher, she is a singer/songwriter.	GrayBeard
and a poser. queen of posers to be exact.	me_myself_and_i
That would be fine & dandy if she could actually write songs. I honestly wonder how much much Avril even puts into those songs and how much is done by those Matrix people. What pisses me off about the Bowie, Clash, Pistols thing is not so much that she doesn't know who they are but that she's so arrogant about it and she tries to use her age as an excuse for her ignorance I hate when people do that. She also should not claim herself Punk when she knows very little about what Punk is. I'm sure her idea of Punk begins and ends with Good Charlotte and Simple Plan.	groovyovergwen
i dont think avril is that bad but sometimes her songs are just stupid for example sk8er boi starts with"he was a boy she was a girl..." inno DAAAAAH!! now THAT is dumb!!	punky_pink
Avril sucks, P!nk rocks... End of discussion.	PortraitOfPink
u yurself and urself ur such a moron. mwahahaha and 4 ur info i enjoy bein a bitch!	the_anarchist
Punky_Pink - Go read my review of Avril's Sk8er Boi. I think she purposely made that "He was a boy, she was a girl" simple line for a reason - love is that simple, unfortunately we let things like clicks, status, peer pressure & friends stop us from getting with the person we really like. So actually you really got the bottom line message that Avril was trying to get across in Sk8er Boi - love is simple, don't make it complicated. And that is what Avril's song "Complicated" is about!	GrayBeard
i dont think she ment it like that!!	punky_pink
even yhough avril makes good music she is still way behind the pinked haired girl so pink wins with a walkaway.	molemo
Punky_Pink - That is exactly the way Avril meant it - look at the whole song and see how it fits in with the overall theme and message. Molemo - Unfortunately Pink's hair is no longer Pink. What a bummer!!! I really thought she looked GREAT with Pink hair!!	GrayBeard
Avril's music direction is absolutely unlike Pink's. We are just not supposed to compare them. Well, Avril finally got to this forum, too. She's more popular I think though i like her too. They both rock!	amita
seeee that's why P!nk stopped the "pink hair" thing coz she didnt want ppl to know her as the pinked hair girl, she wanted ppl to see her lyrics & just LOOOOOOOOVE her!! P.S(i added the last sentence)	punky_pink
ppppppppppppppppppppppppiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk	i_heart_emo_boys187
avril is definatly the better rocker. for one, she uses her REAL name, for two, she is just plain better	alexz
how do u know thats avrils real name?	i_heart_emo_boys187
pink is cool	geetaxe
i agree	i_heart_emo_boys187
hmm....pink vs. avril..well, for me its a contest as to whom is the worst. i dislike both of them, but i really hate avril, so i think i'm probably going to have to go wit pink...even tho as sum1 already said (walkincontridiktion i think) pink is NOT rock, she is pop, and avril is not rock EITHER, she is...well, really, really gay. the queen of poseurs. confused as to her style of music. whatever. so, as to the queen of rock if not either, amy from evanescence. DUH!!	fighter_vicious
i'll go w/avril:)	fairiekisses
fuck off pink is like so much betta than avril. avril chats shit about stupid skater boy pink has so much more style avril is just copying everyone else!	asbo_26
