Pink - 44 anos

   
Alecia Beth Moore (Doylestown8 de setembro de 1979), mais conhecida por seu nome artístico Pink (estilizado como P!nk) é uma cantora e compositora norte-americana de pop-rock.
Ela era originalmente um membro do grupo feminino Choice. Em 1995, a LaFace Records viu potencial em Pink e ofereceu-lhe um contrato de gravação a solo.

O seu álbum de estúdio de estreia, influenciado pelo R&B, Can't Take Me Home (2000) foi certificado com disco de platina duplo nos Estados Unidos e gerou duas músicas entre os dez primeiros da Billboard Hot 100: "There You Go" e "Most Girls". Ela ganhou mais reconhecimento com o single colaborativo "Lady Marmalade" da banda sonora do filme Moulin Rouge!, que liderou muitas paradas em todo o mundo. Reorientando o seu som para o pop rock com o seu segundo álbum de estúdio Missundaztood (2001), o álbum vendeu mais de 13 milhões de cópias em todo o mundo e rendeu os sucessos internacionais "Get the Party Started", "Don't Let Me Get Me" e " Just Like A Pill".

Enquanto o terceiro álbum de estúdio de Pink, Try This (2003), vendeu significativamente menos do que o seu trabalho anterior, ganhou o Grammy de Melhor Performance Vocal de Rock Feminino. Ela voltou ao topo das paradas de discos com seu quarto e quinto álbum de estúdio, I'm Not Dead (2006) e Funhouse (2008), que gerou os sucessos "Stupid Girls", "Who Knew" e "U + Ur Hand", como também o single número um "So What". O sexto álbum de estúdio de Pink, The Truth About Love (2012), foi o seu primeiro álbum número um na Billboard 200 e gerou o seu quarto single número um nos EUA, "Just Give Me a Reason". Em 2014, Pink gravou um álbum colaborativo, Rose Ave., com o músico canadiano Dallas Green sob uma dupla de música folk chamada You+Me. Os seus álbuns de estúdio seguintes, Beautiful Trauma (2017) e Hurts 2B Human (2019), ambos estrearam no topo da parada Billboard 200, com o primeiro a tornar-se o terceiro álbum mais vendido do ano no mundo.

Pink é considerada como "Pop Royalty" por sua voz rouca distinta e presença de palco acrobática. Ela já vendeu mais de 135 milhões de discos em todo o mundo (60 milhões de álbuns e 75 milhões de singles), tornando-a uma das artistas musicais mais vendidas do mundo. Os seus prémios incluem três Grammy, dois BRIT Awards, um Daytime Emmy Award e sete MTV Video Music Awards, incluindo o Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. Em 2009, a Billboard nomeou Pink a Artista da Década em músicas pop. Pink também foi a segunda artista solo feminina mais tocada no Reino Unido durante a década de 2000, atrás apenas de Madonna. O VH1 a classificou no décimo lugar em sua lista das 100 Maiores Mulheres da Música, enquanto a Billboard a premiou com o prémio de Mulher do Ano em 2013. No 63º BMI Pop Awards, ela recebeu o BMI President's Award por "sua excelência em composição e impacto global na cultura pop e na indústria do entretenimento."
