The Daily Beast
I do not know why Pink was at the Oscars singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and I do not care. It was flawless. She didn't fly like she did at the Grammys, but with vocals so soaring she didn't need to Pink making a solid run this year for Awards Show MVP.

Introduced by her real name, Alecia Moore, by Whoopi Goldberg, who was sporting some rather eye-catching ruby red slippers herself, Pink took to the Dolby Theatre stage in a twinkling red gown to show the world once and for all that she has as much musical chops as she does acrobatic ones. (Watching in the audience, incidentally, were Judy Garland's three children -- Liza Minnelli, Lorna Luft and Joey Luft.)
Singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," Pink took a slower, more reflective approach than the rendition in the film by Judy Garland. Tackling the song is no easy task, as "The Wizard of Oz" and its music is ingrained in the minds of no doubt many an Oscar viewer, and Pink took some risks by deviating from the more recognizable arrangements.
If Garland's take is dreamy and optimistic, complete with whistling birds, Pink's was more about looking back. There's an uplift to Garland's phrasing, and Pink kept it more somber. She was slow, steady and adding pauses where one was expecting the song to spring to life.
As scenes from the film played behind her -- in black & white and in color -- strings fluttered, piano notes drizzled and then Pink's vocals quivered ever so slightly. As the orchestra swelled in the chorus and Pink got louder, she let her voice purposefully crack, a somber acknowledgment, perhaps, that the rainbow is behind her.

It was an amazing night, but during last night's Academy Awards one moment still managed to shine as beautiful, emotional and brilliant.
When Pink took to the stage to pay tribute to The Wizard of Oz - wearing a plunging red dress matching Dorothy's ruby slippers - it was a magical moment on a grand evening of celebration.
Her vocals were top-notch as she wowed the audience, signing Judy Garland's classic ballad Over The Rainbow as clips from the iconic movie played on a screen behind her.

Rolling Stone: When it was announced that Pink would be performing at this year's Oscars, no one was sure what exactly she'd be performing; the Oscar-nominated songs had already been spoken for. But when she stepped out on stage to sing "Over the Rainbow" while Judy Garland's children paid homage to The Wizard of Oz, it felt like an inspired choice. The pop singer did not try to oversell the song, simply peforming it simply and beautifully in a way that never overshadowed the Oz pageantry behind her.

Pink wasn't up for any awards at Sunday night's (March 2) Academy Awards, but the high-flying singer probably earned one with one of her signature breathtaking performances during the broadcast.
In her Oscars debut, Pink left the aerial acrobatics to the flying monkeys and kept her feet firmly planted on the ground during a moving musical tribute to screen legend Judy Garland. Instead of shooting up to the rafters as she's done on past awards telecasts, Pink elegantly moved across the stage belting out "Over the Rainbow" as a screen showed iconic images from "The Wizard of Oz."
Her voice powerful and full of emotion, the singer, dressed in a glittering red gown that echoed Dorothy's magical slippers, had a serious #covermoment. Pink's vocals rose to a crescendo on the song's chorus as the strings swelled and images of Dorothy and her cohorts skipping down the yellow brick road unspooled behind her.

''Rainbow'' Connection
Pink proved once again that she doesn't need aerial feats to impress as she sang ''Somewhere Over the Rainbow'' during the Wizard of Oz 75th anniversary tribute. She looked stunning in a ruby-studded gown, and her voice was on-point. What else do you need?

Pink gave an outstanding performance of “Over the Rainbow” during a tribute to "The Wizard of Oz.” While she didn’t do any of her usual acrobatics, she instead used only her voice to slay the signature Judy Garland song in a room that included Garland's famous offspring. A well-deserved ovation followed.

Pink swept into the Oscars like a tornado. But instead of opening her usual bag of acrobatic tricks, she decided to let her powerful vocals shine.
The pop star belted out "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" as a tribute to Judy Garland for the 75th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz at the 86th Academy Awards on Sunday night. The usually outlandish singer gave a surprisingly simple — yet moving — performance. Her red, long-sleeved gown sparkled like a ruby slipper throughout the powerful rendition of Garland's signature song.
Pink was well received by the entire audience, including Judy Garland's three children, Liza Minnelli, Lorna Luft and Joey Luft, who reunited to honor their mother's memory during the ceremony.

Don't worry ATRL is a little pressed with P!nk and all the praise she gets effortlessly.
You gotta understand she invited without having songs to promote and she blew everyone away and got a standing O must be hard

omg guys Pink needs to do a collab with Beyonce! honestly they have the best voices out of all those pop girls! Adele and Lana also have amazing voices. then there are singers like Christina and Alicia Keys who have more bad days then good, vocal wise. the quality of their voices has decreased unfortunately.
