Pink - Stupid girls.

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Pink - Stupid girls.

Post by Obfleur » Tue Apr 25, 2006 12:00 pm

Who the [composite word including 'f*ck'] does Pink think she is?

Her target audience is the same ******* people that listen to Britney Spears, Jessica Simpsons and thinks Paris Hilton is awesome.

[composite word including 'f*ck'] Pink. Stupid skank ass.

Ergo she's the perfect person to show said target audience how ******* stupid those people are?

Gonna have more effect than, say, Jimmy Carr parodying them.
Grrr. Argh.

But Pink is basically saying "Don't buy my music. I'm the same kind of asshole that Britney is, and my music is the same kind of asshole music that she creates. I also like to dress nice and show cleavage, just like all the other skanks".

Pink is the same **** that Britney is. Her song is saying "Hey I'm pink and I'm a big ****".

Uh, isn't she trying to say the opposite? Whether she's right or not is another issue.

Still not seeing where the problem is...

Thought it was saying "these people are pathetic" myself, but then I'm only going on the lyrics.

Well, yes. She is trying to say "Hi I'm Pink and my music is not like Britney Spears music". But it is the same kind crap.
Her song is saying "Hey I'm pink and I'm a big ****".

Dude, double you tee eff. You know what I mean.
She sings "lol I am Pink and I am cool and not like Britney". But she is. So why is she singing "I am not like Britney"?
Don't try and convince me that this is some kind of awesome plot, and Pink is now laughing at the "stupid girls" that are buying her records even though she is calling them stupid girls. 'Cause Pink is not smart like that.
Pink is trying to be some kind of feminist asshole that is all up in your ass about "a female president" and stuff like that. And that she likes girls that are outcasts and ****.

I thought that Pink was quite different from these Britney-type singers.

I see nothing wrong with what she's doing, since she's basically right. :o

I think it's a funny video too. :D

I don't know, she's always had a somewhat different image as compared to Spears and the like, and I suppose with this albume she's trying her best to distance herself from that?

I thought Pink was saying girls who behave like Paris Hilton - ie, no brains and think its ok to just act stupid in life are dicks.

Pink is trying to put across an image of being a strong female, not a footballers wife stero type which is unfotuantly what alot of young girls aspire to become.

IMO she is exactly like Britney and the other ones: tons of make up, easy-to-make pop music, shows a lot of skin, etc.

Pink crawling around on a floor acting sexy.

http://www.pinkspage.com/
Pictures -> Deborah Anderson photo shoot -> exactly the same sexy photos as Britney, Simpon and Hilton

"With their itsy bitsy doggies and their teeny-weeny tees"
Pink doesnt have a dog (that I know of), but she wears small clothes, yes.

"Baby if I act like that, flipping my blond hair back
Push up my bra like that, I don't wanna be a stupid girl"
Pink doesn't have blonde hair, but I'm sure she has taken some sexy photos (where she does something with her breasts/brah) where she grabs her hair or something.

"I'm so glad that I'll never fit in
That will never be me
Outcasts and girls with ambition
That's what I wanna see"
IMO she fits in perfectly with rest of the pop world.

Sure, I don't know Pink personally and I haven't read a Pink biography or something.
But "stupid girls" is a crappy song that she shouldn't have released.

her lyrics are very different - and her self image is entirely different.

Looking sexy/punk is trying to show some individuality where as britany and Paris just dress like the media whores they are.

That sounds to me like your random r'n'b/hiphop/pop song.

whilst you may not like her stuff i think she can claim to be somewhat different from the people she paradies, notably Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan - she is far more in control of her creative output as far as i can tell, far more prone to self mockery and shows a much gerater degree of wit and intellect.

She even wrote an article in the Guardian expanding on the song and what she thinks is wrong with teh cult of fame and image in the states.

Whilst her stuff isn't to my tastes its pretty positive in terms of intent and, as pops songs go, pretty cutting to boot.

Also you will note that she doesn't criticse the music some of these people make, but they way they act and in some cases try and sell said music, so to say that its stupid because some of her stuff sounds a bit like britney's stuff misses the point entirely.

Well, I still think she is just a big phony.

It's cool if she isn't though, and if people really do listen to her and what she says :)

I think everyone in the entire world is a big phony and can [composite word including 'f*ck'] off, personally. :o Even me! I'm a big, big phony. And I want a pony. And this has nothing to do with this discussion but damn, do I want a horse. I want a horse, and for some bizarre reason I want a house. Well, notsomuch a house, but a yard. Maybe they'll let me rip up my apartment parking space and put down a bit of sod, a nice fence, a lawn chair, a few plastic flamingoes...

Just so long as you don't fork out for a gnome.
