Pink Grammy Performance

[Kilgore Trout]

Interesting performance by Pink at Sunday's Grammys.
She admitted that she just lip synched the performance and it's easy to see why with aerial stunt she pulls off.

What is interesting to me is that she does this Cirque Du Soleil type of stunt without a safety harness of any type.
She gets dipped into a pool of water and the ribbon she is hanging from upside down gets really thin.
Anyway, she's like a gymnast singer. She's just rippling with muscles - really cut. Very powerful legs and arms.

I'd hit it.

That's not ribbon, looks like either silk or cotton and when wet? even stronger than dry. Mythbusters did a test on it and wet silk was astronomically stong (or so I recall)

She was a gymnast and also practices ribbon acrobat a lot, she was quite confident in what she was doing, nonetheless very impressive.

Pink is so hot...

I love that she does cool shit like this.

What they said.

I suspect her costume had a shark skin texture and was like velcro on the silk, but still,

Hooooly Cow!!

after watching that performance i dont think anyone would blame her for lip syncing , she was a good 20 feet above the audience

her MVA preformance is pretty good as well

Now sarah brightman doesn't do any of the spinning in a ribbon but she does get lifted above the audience on a swing and moved around a bit....and she DOESN'T lip sync....

I'm trying to find the one where the globe comes outta the floor and she's left suspended above the audience......

Actually I'm not sure if Pink was lip synching or not at the Grammys. I read a post in comments section of youtube where someone stated Pink admitted to lip synching the performance; but, I can't find a single media source that confirms that persons post. Besides that, Pink has a reputation of being a non lip synching performer.

Since Milli Vanilli debacle about 15 years ago the Grammys has made itself a no lip synching zone. What they will do is provide recorded voice doubling technical backup to make the vocal performance richer; but, the mike has to also be turned on and the person has to sing live. So, in effect a person is doing live vocal back up to her own recorded voice.

Don't know if she lip sync'd or not at this one but I know she doesn't have to. One of my favorite live acoustic songs is Trouble at the American Music Awards.

Thanks for that link.
Nice to see a young singer who can dial up the groove and nail a Janis Joplin classic like that.

This was posted on P!NK's twitter account earlier.

I hear there's a debate over whether or not I sang live on grammies. I have never lip synched in my entire life. I'm 100% against it.

Saw her 2x once at the Goverment in Toronto and then at the ACC she is the bomb

Molly will there be a lot of Pink played this afternoon at HQ ?
