Pop star-turned-actor Pink will be making an appearance at March 2's Academy Awards. Described by Oscar producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron in a statement as "one of the greatest voices in pop music and one of the best performers of her generation," Pink joins a pop-focused telecast that already features U2, Pharrell Williams, Idina Menzel and Karen O.
Pink is booked for what the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is describing as a "highly anticipated moment." In nonpress-release speak, that's generally just referred to as a "performance."
Or maybe the academy is simply planning a surprise tribute to the greatest circus films of all time? As she has shown multiple times, no artist can as effortlessly pull off a song, dance and high-wire act as Pink, who at this year's Grammys dangled above the crowd to perform her song "Try."
Silliness aside, this is shaping up to be one of the most tuneful Oscar telecasts in recent memory. This year's slate of nominees for original song is a strong one, led by "Let it Go" from Disney's "Frozen." The show-stopping moment from the animated phenomenon sees the recently appointed Queen Elsa (Menzel) constructing a solitary ice palace in the most diva-like fashion.
You sure these are Kardashians? I've never seen anyone from that family, so I can't tell.
More importantly: Was she invited? Was she payed to sing or what?
Nope, she was just coincidentally sitting in the same restaurant and then jumped on stage. The fact that you guys didn't know about this
"Highly anticipated moment": We can only assume that Pink is going to perform her acrobatics over the heads of Hollywood's stunt-double-using elite, because at this point, anything less than that isn't "highly anticipated" anymore. And besides, she's so amazing while doing it that it doesn't compute (and then people start yelling "lip-synching"). Any chance for Pink to perform for the masses is a good thing, and obviously, the Oscar producers realize that too. This is a big deal.
It's pretty obvious now that she has acrobatics and aerials stuck to her name, ha impact
Now whenever in the future a singer tries that, they are gonna be labled as P!nk

Less about the labeling and comparing, more about the "naah, no one can do it like P!nk" kinda stuff.
