Review: Pink

We asked for your reviews and boy are you delivering! Here's what Mr Walker had to say about the lady with 'the hair' when he saw her last week:
Not many people associate the colour pink with rock and roll, but at the Nottingham Arena on Saturday night this shade of Pink brought the house down.
Opening in a policeman's outfit and closing in a swimsuit wrapped in 100 feet of fabric swinging acrobatically in the air, Pink showed her true colours as a versatile, talented and one-showgirl performer...
Almost gimmick free, which so many of these high-class, Vegas-style pop shows often dictate - this diva sailed through a catalogue of hits from current album 'I'm not Dead' right back to her R&B debut, 'Can't take me home'.
Well in fact we did just that. Taking home her catchy melodies and thought-provoking statements on everything from war and peace right through to celebrity bimbos who hog our front pages, made everyone realise why an artist like this can command a show and fill an arena of children, parents and lesbians alike.
Highlights for me included Pink straggling a motorbike screaming 'Cuz I Can' dressed head to toe in leathers and a full band, then emerging minutes later in a full length, floating gown sitting on a bar stool to sing 'Dear Mr President' with just an acoustic back up. Not only was her voice raw and emotional, but it had soul and definition that most other poptarts can only wish for.
If anything, this show showed that Pink is a colour we should all be proud to wear. And play.
