Pink Takes Flight

Or should it?

I suppose it depends on the body wearing it.
In this case, Pink, is looking pretty buff from her aerial workouts and deservedly wears it well. Here's some pics and video of her cradle act as performed on the MTV awards.
She does a very nice job, pointed toes, catches and all while singing.

I guess it's not enough nowadays to simply sing. In order to hold people's attention you have to risk life and limb, or at least appear to, as well. Seems to be a trend going on here. I suppose it comes with being a type "T" as in Thrills personality. Better the thrill of an aerial workout than drugs and alcohol.
You go girl!
Welcome to the tribe of Circus Girls.













Pink Performs Sober on trapeze sound bite
I don't wanna be the girl who laughs the loudest
Or the girl who never wants to be alone
I don't wanna be that call at four o'clock in the morning
'Cause I'm the only one you know in the world that won't be home

Aahh, the sun is blinding
I stayed up again
Oohh, I am finding
That's not the way I want my story to end

I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain
Inside
You're my protection
But how do I feel this good sober?

I don't wanna be the girl who has to fill the silence...
The quiet scares me 'cause it screams the truth
Please don't tell me that we had that conversation
When I won't remember, save your breath, 'cause what's the use?

Aahh, the night is calling
And it whispers to me softly, "come and play"
Aahh, I am falling
And if I let myself go, I'm the only one to blame

I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain
Inside
You're like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?

I'm comin' down
Comin' down
Comin' down
Spinnin' round
Spinnin' round
Spinnin' round
Looking for myself.. Sober

Comin' down
Comin' down
Comin' down
Spinnin' round
Spinnin' round
Spinnin' round
Looking for myself.. Sober

When it's good, then it's good, it's so good, 'till it goes bad
Till you're trying to find the you that you once had
I have heard myself cry
Never again
Broken down in agony
And just trying to find a friend

I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain
Inside
You're like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?

I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain
Inside
You're like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?

How do I feel this good sober?

Aerial work aside, Pink is a huge PETA supporter which to me is a fatal flaw.

Perhaps when Pink really sobers up she'll spend the time it really takes to educate herself about elephants instead of falling for Peta's simplistic, hateful, brainwashing.

She could open her show with a disappearing act to the song, "E used to be for elephant."
