Pink Fanblog: Pink Speaks Out on Britney Spears Lip-Synching Saga in Women's Health

About Pink

Pink was born Alecia Moore in Doylestown, Pennsylvania September 8, 1979. Her mother, Judith Moore, works as a nurse and her father, James Moore, Jr.,
is a Vietnam veteran. Her father played guitar and sang songs for her, and from an early age she aspired to be a rock star.

She released her first single "There You Go" and first album, Can't Take Me Home in 2000. Her more pop rock-oriented second studio album, Missundaztood, which began a marked shift in the sound of her music, was released in 2001, and was very successful worldwide, and is, currently, her best seller. Pink released her third album, Try This, in November 2003, and her fourth in April 2006, I'm Not Dead. Her fifth album, Funhouse, was released in late October 2008 and was preceded by her first solo number one on the Hot 100, "So What". The album hosts Top 20 hits "Sober" and "Please Don't Leave Me", and is Pink's first album to spawn five worldwide singles.

She has sold more than 10 million albums in the US and over 32 million records worldwide, and scored eight Top 10 US hits,
won two Grammy Awards and became one of the best known female pop rock acts of the decade.

Pink Speaks Out on Britney Spears Lip-Synching Saga in Women's Health

Pink has jumped into the Britney Spears lip-synching saga by saying she would never go to a concert where the performer wasn't singing live. The 30-year-old rocker tells Women's Health - a fitness magazine: "I'm not taking anything away from Britney because I really like her a lot, but I would never go to a show where the person was lip-synching.

The star added, "When you grow up listening to Janis Joplin, you're not going to want to see somebody mime."

Pink followed her comments by saying that despite singing about Britney in her hit Stupid Girls, she actually likes the pop star. "I've always said I like Britney," she says.

Pink also says she has stuck up for the pop princess but wanted to avoid being compared to Britney as an artist. "I swear to God, I've stuck up for Britney since the beginning. "She and I have talked about it. "My point was, 'Stop comparing me to her, because we're different animals'."

Pink - whose real name is Alecia Moore - also opens up about her relationship with hubby motor-cross racer Cary Hart. She says that exercise kept her sane during their 2008 split. The couple have since reunited.
