P!nk is an icon. Just because you can't drag her name through the mud like you can most any other female singer, doesn't mean that people aren't here for her when it counts.
Which is the music. You can bring up Britney while trying to make a meltdown joke. You can bring up Christina when you want fat jokes or diva jokes. But when P!nk is used, it's about the music. The style. The passion
And that's all she ever wanted. She had made a career that is exactly what she wants. There is no one more successful in the pop world than her.
