P!nk never thought her success would last this long

In an industry that tends to treat its biggest stars as disposable bobbles, there are few artists who can really have any longevity in pop music. P!nk is one of those artists. She drops by Q for the first time to discuss her career, survival and her brand new album, Trustfall.

People that are slamming this album as repetitive or just not good really need to listen to this interview. I am so sick of people saying in comments that we want the old pink back. She can’t come back, you can’t go back to who you were 20 years ago. And it’s usually pretty pathetic if you try to. I love this woman for continuing to grow and always striving to become a better person.

[@EthanWhiteTV]

Agreed!

[@Thac1403]

I love her! Been a fan since the very beginning. I’m 36 y.o. so I belong to the generation which grew up listening to her stuff and following her amazing career. Last but not least, I need to listen to the album once again, cuz I didn’t like it either. I mean, the lyrics are great, but most of the melodies didn’t catch me at first. Finally, I thought there were too many ballads, though she says she just wants to dance. I didn’t get it! Seriously, I was confused. If you wanna dance, why did you put out an album full of ballads?

[@natalielawrence8809]

@@Thac1403 Because that particular song was about dancing. She's allowed to have diversity on an album. One songs particular theme doesn't need to reflect on every other song.. that's a very regimented expectation to place on a creative being. It's not like 'dancing' is even part of the name of the album...

[@deejustdee4752]

The more I listen to her latest album, the more I like it.

[@zachford8300]

I agree with for me, yes I do miss her more rock-based albums but I am here and loving her growth and evolution as not only an artist but as a person. Every new album she finds a way to save one of us who loves her so much. While saving herself in the process

[@melissacoviello2886]

I respect p!nk sooo much as an artist, and as a human being.

[@yaraviera4444]

She's so down to earth..

[@mmb1572]

She is from the East Coast. East coast people are real

[@magicmysticman]

She's also a Virgo

[@herbertndekiii228]

I know we always talking about Beyoncé as the bar to every performance and performers, rightfully so. But I gotta tell y’all… I don’t think I have ever seen a performance like the one pink did at the Grammys “ glitter in the air “ .. I mean I watch that performance every time I need inspiration, awe, find happiness at the moment, … the ropes… the song… the water bucket… spinning in the air. Thank you Pink. Thank you!!!! You rock!!!! And you are really dope too it seems as a person. I will listen to this new project and I can wait for the video with your daughter I think..

[@mrchrister886]

What is this? A compliment without putting down another artist? That’s unheard of here or anywhere really lol But yes, I agree 100%

[@trueblue2869]

Beyonce sucks ,🇦🇺🤣

[@NoHandzThatsAlliknowsoooooofar]

Aliesha Moore is AMAZING AWESOME FOREVVVVVVVVVA INSPIRING ..Amongst a lot of other Beautiful things.. INFINITELY ..THANKYOU PINK ❤💙❤💙❤💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💟💟💟💟💟💞💞💞💞💞💞💟💟💟💟💟💞💞💞💞💞💞💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💙

[@denisewilliams8708]

Just praise Pink and move. Ya’ll always bringing up Beyoncé under every female artist video. Just hush

[@mmb1572]

Beyonce is over rated. Its political

[@whitesun264]

This was the interview that we have wanted for so long - so kind of her to let us into her personal life - it must be quite intrusive. God she is so honest and straight up. I was absoloutley mesmerised watching this, and slightly emotional - hell what's wrong with me! The interviewers eyes said everything he couldn't put into words.

[@elisalaut3246]

Sensitive interviewer, you can see how it is hard for her to talk about her Dad. They are watching and most important Loving and encouraging us from the other side. Sounds like her son has a lovely connection with his grand dad! ❤

[@michellemondey7043]

You are my go to songs when I’m feeling happy or down , you ROCK x

[@EphemeralProductions]

I honestly never realized she was so articulate and interesting!!! I’ve never really seen an interview of her. I’m glad i watched this one ! 😁. Thanks so much for doing it!

[@ekajatnika2202]

Being fan of her since mizzunderstood album.. never get bored to hear n enjoy her songs and really admire how she build, uplift the performance and maintain it for over 20 years.. idk who can surpass her in every aspect of her career

[@SirBarth]

To me, P!nk's albums are definitely stories in her life as she's going through life. This last album, for me, is one that has nailed a whole hell of a lot of feelings. For her to mention that she's not unpacked that suitcase yet about her dad's passing - I still have both of my parents, but my maternal grandparents had a big role in my childhood, and shaping the person I am today. My maternal grandmother's been gone since 95, grandpa since 2000. Now that I'm older - I see the pieces of them in me, their influence. I honestly think her father's VERY proud of her.

[@ainharaIsabel]

Pink is my favorite North American singer. In the same way that Shakira is my favorite Latin American singer. Apart from their talents, the first one is an activist focusing on conveying a powerful message and the second one is an altruist advocating for children's rights and education both globally and locally in her country. No wonder they are still in the game to this day.

[@meribeier8530]

Open dialogue…. EXACTLY!

[@angiekleinsorge1810]

Turbulence is one of my favorite songs on her new album!

[@stayreal120]

LOVE YOU PINK ❤

[@pilargonzalez8442]

Great interview, she seems like such a great person, love Pink. 💓🌃

[@66fitton]

Loved Pink ever since I saw my 10 year old daughter and her friends all singing "F*ckin Perfect" and pointing at each other. That was about 15 years ago. Damn feel good stuff moments like that!

[@a.c.2742]

I love and appreciate the evolution of P!nk! She is the real hero for all the up and coming artists! Would love to sit with her and a bottle or 2 of wine.

[@donnaimeson5753]

This album is fabulous, each album gets better! Love her!!

[@itsmegmira]

always love pink. she s amazing. and wow a new album, super happy!

[@ErickLofdahl]

Great conversation with deep insight

[@michaeld.williamsiii9026]

Love me some P!nk!!!💛👏🏽💛

[@danacoleman4007]

She's amazing.

[@HooliganMomma]

Fantastic view point from Pink..a lot of us do live in our heads and miss opportunities! I have many times with my kids and wish I didn't when I was a younger Mom...I feel very different now about all of that.."I think losing a parent is a suitcase you'll unpack for the rest of you life!" Truer words were never spoken....Pink Rocks...don't sell perfume!! The proof is in her hard work!! We see it!! It's all there...Magic!!! xo

[@boosqueezy2418]

she’s the best!

[@kathyneville9768]

🤗every interview with Pink makes me 🤗, she's the greatest..loved, "..you make sourdough."🌬🤗💕🤗

[@hsk2909]

I'm left breathless every time. Amazing woman. 💝

[@georganab.2962]

Love this!

[@sarispunch]

Amazing interview! Pink is so real, unique and magical. I love her!

[@joaquimcaetano3745]

Great interview!

[@emmaleepeel9959]

Love Pink! Shes so real in every way. Would love to meet her. Shes strong & humble creative, exiting she has a genuine good soul. Her vocal chords are her primary God given gift from heaven, everything else makes her who she is in brilliant neon colors. She can sing a simple phrase and it will make you feel every emotion she put into it. Love every hair on her head rooted to all she is...nothing less than ✨AMAZING!!!

[@cntrygirl7622]

I absolutely love her. Every artist grows and changes. It would be boring if they didn't.

[@robinrodes3274]

@Pink please please release TURBULENCE as a single. You will help so many people with this song. Like me! It’s soooo good.❤

[@gebiss1]

She is amazing

[@patrickmolloy6626]

Her shows are definitely the best concerts off all time. Everyone, no matter what ages have a brilliant time. My whole family went, cousins, uncles , nieces, nephews. Unforgettable. I went to an over priced Beyoncé concert. I’ve never looked at her the same. She puts on a show at big events to lure you in. Pinks way better

[@theuntroddenpath]

She is just awesome. I've always loved her music but it is her honesty and groundedness that really allows me to connect with her as a human being. Another great interview!

[@heathermahony110]

Great Interview!! 👍😁💛💯

[@codyroulo1958]

So wonderful and lost cause is my stand out favorite from day 1 its quintessential ear worm magic P!nk.

[@theirishfaerie]

LOOOOVE❤

[@melissamay7778]

Thanks for taking the time to tell us a wee bit about yourself PINK .. an album release requires so many press / interviews / dumb questions … you gave a piece of you in this one .. feels like you are in my den chatting with me .. would rather hang and talk then have any selfie with you

[@paubel58]

hopefully you can sit down with her in person when she swings through toronto on tour over the summer!!

[@jadeb2852]

I absolutely enjoyed your Interview ! I am 42 and grew up listening to her. She is so deep now. I am here for her creative flow. She is pretty incredible.

[@jadeb2852]

I saw her and him singing a song live. He was her rock!

[@cherylsibson2529]

Pink if you traveled with babies and toured and had mutual support, you're ahead of the curve for sure, TrustFall is fabulous! You can dance through turbulences!.

[@ricisonline]

lost cause is my fave from the new record. UGH!!! SO GOOD!!!! just like conversations from i'm not dead and my vietnam from missundaztood. each album has that one unique song, imo. catch me while i'm sleeping from try this.... i mean, i am always listening to that song! it's one of her best songs. ok, i'm being nostalgic. ew. bye.

[@JordyEllira]

She said she was worried about Turbulance and its probably my favourite one other than Trustfall!

[@djfrankchambers]

Wow, I thought her and her father had a great relationship!!! She didn't have to reveal this at all, it just shows how real this woman is. She is the best female artist of the last 50 years.

[@reneefrogge9191]

Your amazing person and artist. You Rock !!!

[@billyb847]

“I think he was happy for me. I’m sure he was proud of me” - oooooof that hit 🥺

[@denisehughes8662]

You +me .period.

[@juliette__]

💗💗💗

[@lucillerainville5026]

Great interview well done and sensitive.

[@cuoredsole3748]

p!nk-The Humble Bee

[@rickys4371]

Pink next track-save my soul

[@elizabeth3280]

2000s she was competing with Aaliyah, Destinys child, Leanne Rhymes, Shakira, Brittney,xtina, Dream, Missy Elliot, Nelly Furtado, AvrilLavigne, Jlo, Sheyl Crow, Clarkson and Keys. The list goes on. It actually is shocking she stayed relevant so long. Well done. For some reason "Just give me a reason" is the only song I can think of without cheating lol

[@mmb1572]

Pink has the best voice out of all of them. Even Christina. Christina trills too much and lacks the warmth in her voice like Pink has. Pink is awesome

[@nat22_tv]

She doesn't have the soulful voice P!nk has although she's amazing too. It's like Whitney vs Mariah. MAriah has this amazing technique but in the way of showing emotion Whitney was the best.

[@rypted2849]

This album is Pink now, her growth.

[@RL-od5bc]

This is an amazing interview and yes Pink still unpacking my mothers death since 99 🌻

[@sashundra98]

Britney who. Christina who. In my book Alecia is out of the contest. I have always been her fan. I am your die hard fan

[@jackanderson2773]

It’s easier to fool the people, than convince them they’ve been fooled

[@jooniperhelmsley3634]

14:47 and previous questions that Robin, pinks Manager, never said any of that so someone might want to check her quotes there.

[@jooniperhelmsley3634]

And after as well. Idk probably the whole thing was misquoted. On this channel even more so than others.

[@judihart9658]

☺️💖👍😎🙂

[@franosbornblaschke3694]

HELP! How do I contact you, amazing, Tom Power?! JANE SIBERRY for God's Sake! ,,,what's the hold-up? : ) JANE SIBERRY!

[@melissamay7778]

Have not heard that name for a bit

[@ginawagner6956]

I love Pink, but this guy is a drip

[@vanessalang2018]

She’s better than Britney or Christina

[@elizabeth3280]

More relateable to a demoraphic but Xtina has the best voice out of the 3 and Brittney is the Icon but by god poor girl. Pink is likeable/relateable and actually writes her own song so she wins in that regard as well. She ened up being the most attractive after the aging process happene lol

[@Coco6745]

These are the same people who love every album taylor swift does when all she does is sing about the same damn thing her ex boyfriends

[@rtdmna]

Wow! Lost cause.

[@sophiasauermann6578]

Something about this guy makes me madly aggressive.

[@ryguyca]

Wow! Could this guy that is interviewing Pink have been any more bored or unamused?!? Hand resting on his face, non-enthusiastic, mono-tone, awkward silence….thank God for Pink’s personality and being an extrovert! Dude, next time pass the interview on to someone else who generally likes Pink or interviewing others in general! 😆

[@hirsch4155]

Dude you must not be from Canada, that’s how it goes here. Canadians like to listen and not get too worked up about things especially with people they don’t know. Pink knows he’s just doing his Canadian thing, he’s like this with everybody.

[@brianfeltham604]

Tell us you’re American without telling us you’re American.

[@NihilioFit]

She's been a semi-successful mediocre pop singer for decades. The new type of one hit wonder.

[@hayleycuthbert]

You're an ignorant person

[@EphemeralProductions]

That seems a bit judgmental. I don’t really see that. One thing for sure she does have an amazing voice.

[@yorgosmonos]

you're so funny dude

[@pinkspot1998]

Haha alright 😂

[@stevieb9705]

And you're watching her on KZbin.😂😂😂 Y'all people are so funny.

[@trueblue2869]

I have girl crushed on her from the first album.I wanna dance with you. Before I go ,I have a 16yr old who knows it's a dream but backs me cause even he knows real woman are ppl to

[@pnklady3788]

I'm not on Tik Tok either (or Instagram or Snapchat or anything else tbh)... :D
