Product Description

Product Description

Paul Lester traces the extraordinary career of Alicia Beth Moore from Pennsylvania through her stint in the girl group Choice to her present incarnation as global superstar P!NK.

Split Personality reveals the two sides of this complex artist: the feisty fun-filled performer who at thirty continues to conquer in a teen-dominated industry and the conflicted woman whose dark urges have fuelled her deceptively upbeat glossy brand of hi-tech pop.

Here too are full accounts of P!NK's notorious campaigns for PETA that prompted a run-in with fell R&B goddess Beyoncé, her controversial marriage to motocross racer Carey Hart and her triumphant return to peak form with 2008's Funhouse album.

This is a pop biography that makes for a truly exciting read that's worthy of it's electrifying subject!

This book will be a disappointment to any real fan of Pink! It is researched and written as a poor media studies essay; large chunks of chapter are taken over with repetition of the song lyrics, and there is very little substance or enlightenment to this book. My advice would be wait for Pink to write her own book, which will be a true gem.

A disappointment 17 Nov 2009
By Domino
Format:Paperback
I purchased this book thinking it would be as the title states "The Story of pink"

However it actually has very little about the artists real life and past, or even about the artists performing life. The book is more about facts and dates regarding songs, music videos, chart positions in numerous countries, lyrics from songs and trivial snippets from newspaper and interview articles which are already on the internet for anyone to find, free of charge. This book offered nothing new and nothing interesting regarding the singers actual life and therefore I found it boring and bland and definately not one for anyone looking for some information about the artist herself.

If you like reading about lots of dates and information regarding charting positions for each individual song and album then this book is for you. For anyone else looking for something about the actual singer herself with a bit more depth and alot less "facts", as the last reviewer wrote: "My advice would be wait for Pink to write her own book"

I finished reading this book pretty long time ago already, but I decided to write about it. I remembered more details I'd like to write about during reading of course (which I forgot already), but still. If to look at this book as at the whole thing it's obvious that author didn't contribute anything of his own into this book. He only wrote some humble comments to subject. He wrote them with a good language, but there wasn't anything he could be proud of. The author just took alot of interviews, articles from magazines and from Internet and put them together. Since I translated many articles for my website I saw texts in book which were really the same from what I read before. Tell the truth it wasn't bad, because articles were good enough and P!nk's interviews were interesting, but you read them before it look just ridiculous. The only value of this books is quotes. There are many good P!nk's quotes. It was interesting to read about childhood and personal life, but the rest are kind trashy. The main annoying thing of that author is charts. Probably it took him alot of time to find information about charts, but it's just terrible. There were chapters where 5-6 pages were filled with statistics. It was like: "Single So What took some place in some chart in some country". And he wrote the same for every single chart for all countries. He also wrote about other people in charts and even repeat what he already wrote. Sometimes he wrote the same chart info in some different chapters. It felt like he only wanted to get more pages in his book. At first I read it all, but then I started to skip it when I saw statistics about sold copies in each country. From bad things I also have to mention that he always added statues to people. Maybe it was only for more pages as well. For example during the whole book he mentioned Linda Perry as a "singer-lesbian Linda Perry". I think everywhere where he mentioned her he called her a lesbian. So in whole there were really good chapters I read with a big interest and there were hard chapters because of a big amount of statistics.
