One of my favorite performances of all time is Pink’s “Glitter in the Air,” at the 2010 Grammy Awards (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3stsDXki__U). Her tender and ever-to-be-emulated tribute of love seems something to strive for: to love and be loved; to creatively transmute the roses-are-red emotion into unique, personal lyric; to sing w/ handheld mic and spin without stunt double while splashing droplets of inspiration over an audience that has seen and done it all; to create new levels of amazing through an impeccably audacious performance; to express sans fear.
Such beauty is now classic.
If ever there was moving art avec audio, this was it. Caravaggio in the form of a 21st century rebel who delivered daring physicality, lyrical transparency and sweet emotion that left us all wondering, with mouths agape, what can I … how can I … what will I?
Whatever your answer, be amazing.
