14 DAY TRIAL // Count on Pink to deliver the most amazing performances ever. Staying true to tradition, the pop star took to the stage last night at the 2010 American Music Awards to perform a new song, “Raise Your Glass” – and owned the night with it.
In February this year, at the Grammys, Pink wowed the entire world when she performed mid-air, swirling on a trapeze, in what is still considered one of the best live performances in the history of the gala.
Last night, flying through the air was not an option since Pink is pregnant with her first child – but that’s no excuse for not getting the party started, as MTV News also points out.
“Pink dropped by to celebrate her own just-released career retrospective, “Greatest Hits... So Far!!!.” But instead of trolling through her catalog, she stuck to the new single ‘Raise Your Glass,’ another sparky bit of pop-foolery on which she once again encourages you to get the party started,” MTV says.
Accompanied by a very large troupe of acrobats and backup dancers, Pink put on a very colorful, lively and quite dangerous as well show, where they were sent flying through the air, doing backflips.
The star, though, kept herself very much grounded this time – which is understandable in her case.
“The always-unpredictable (and did we mention pregnant?) singer is clearly not done with the acrobatic feats of daring that she showcased on her most recent tour,” MTV says.
“But in keeping with her new status as a mom-to-be, she left the acrobatics to the skateboarders and punk cheerleaders who crowded the stage around her as she danced like a B-girl beamed down from the set of 1984’s ‘Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo,’ rocking a mini-gold jacket, black high-waisted Hammer pants, black bra and bedazzled black headband,” the e-zine further writes.
There was also glitter involved and lots of dance moves as well, to which Pink also took part. By the end of the song, she was quite breathless but obviously excited and happy about how the performance turned out. With good cause, too.
“By song’s end, she was back center stage and out of breath, beaming as a shower of streamers, balloons and confetti rained down on the crowd. In other words, the perfect ending to a Pink party,” MTV says.
