Pink Glows with ‘Glitter’
Posted by

An astonishing Grammy performance by Pink lands her the Hot Shot Debut, as “Glitter in the Air” arrives at No. 18 thanks to digital sales of 114,000, a gain of 1,143%.
“Glitter” is the fifth charting single from Pink’s fifth studio album “Funhouse,” which is the most she’s ever scored on the Hot 100 from one set. The song was immediately delivered digitally to radio as a new single by Jive Records before the Grammy broadcast was even over.
LOS ANGELES - The charity anthem “We Are the World” has been rerecorded by 80 artists who came together in the same Hollywood studio where the original was cut 25 years ago.
Pink, Natalie Cole, Kanye West, Jennifer Hudson, Celine Dion, Brian Wilson and others stood shoulder-to-shoulder on risers at Henson Recording studios Monday night to raise money for Haiti earthquake relief.
“This one, the enthusiasm, I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Lionel Richie, who wrote the original with Michael Jackson and oversaw the new version with music mogul Quincy Jones, 76.
Jones, who produced the 1985 anthem, announced last week that he planned to redo the song to benefit recovery efforts after the devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on Jan. 12.
“We Are the World — 25 for Haiti” will premiere this month during coverage of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics on NBC, according to a release from promoter AEG Live.
On Monday, stars converged on Studio A in the afternoon and stayed several hours. Richie and Jones worked with a select number of soloists, including Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger, later into the night.
At one point during a break, the musicians broke out into an a cappella version of “Lean on Me,” a classic moment jump-started by singer Melanie Fiona leaning on another artist because her feet were tired.
Gesturing with her hands, and shifting her headphones from ear to ear, Barbra Streisand recorded her solo over and over, completely absorbed in the recording process and stopping only to correct her pitch.
Later, a who’s who of rappers, including Snoop Dogg, LL Cool J and Wyclef Jean, recorded an interlude written by Black Eyed Peas frontman and producer will.i.am.
Rapper Lil Wayne said he was blessed to record the tune but was surprised when told he would do Bob Dylan’s part from the original.
“I don’t know how to sing,” he said with a smile.
Asked how the earthquake had affected him, he said he had Haitian friends in Miami who lost relatives in the disaster.
The original “We Are the World” thundered up the charts when it was released in March 1985.
An unprecedented number of top pop musicians gathered at A&M the night of Jan. 28, 1985, following the American Music Awards, to record the tune. The song featured 45 American superstars, including Jackson, Richie, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen and Cyndi Lauper.
The record raised more than $30 million for USA for Africa, a nonprofit organization the singers founded to fund hunger relief in Africa.
None of the original performers returned Monday because none were asked, said Randy Phillips, chief executive of AEG Live and also Richie’s manager.
“This is about a new generation mixed with an old generation,” Phillips said.
Proceeds initially are to go to the newly formed charity We Are the World Foundation LLC, and then be distributed to Haiti.
Some top music names were either unavailable or chose not to rerecord the original, Phillips said. Taylor Swift’s touring schedule kept her from joining, and Beyonce had returned to New York with husband Jay-Z, he said. Janet Jackson, who was out of town, will contribute vocals remotely, he said.
Filmed by Oscar-winning screenwriter and director Paul Haggis, the event was shot using 3-D cameras, a futuristic twist from the 1985 version. A few people dressed in head-to-toe green stood next to the celebrities as place holders so viewers would eventually be able to insert themselves into the star crowd, Jones said.
Josh Groban, flush from doing his high-flying solo, said: “I can only hope this can have the impact the original has had.”
Ever since her awe inspiring Grammy performance, the world is loving Pink. She was Oprah’s “it” girl on Friday and Barbara Walter’s earlier last week, but the truth is Pink was a completely amazing artist before all the hoopla. And a woman some mothers would consider a great role model for their little girls. Check out our five reasons why!
She’s Strong
Pink is mentally and physically strong. She sets goals and achieves them as evidenced by her incredible aerial silks performance. She’s a singer, a dancer, a writer, and a gymnast. She proves that a girl can do anything she sets her mind to…maybe even in the same moment!
She Gives Back
A vegetarian and activist, Pink campaigns for causes like PETA and gives back by doing charity work with other organizations. Every girl can make a difference.
She Turned Her Life Around
It’s been reported that like many other teens, Pink was a wild child who at times was at odds with her mother while growing up. They have since reconciled. Girls should know that you can mend bonds and get past mistakes.
She Doesn’t Have a Cinderella Complex
Pink didn’t sit around waiting for Prince Charming. She proposed to Carey Hart in 2005. And, when the couple later endured marital troubles, she bared her soul and won him back. All little girls should know that they can write their own story and not wait for it to be written.
She’s No “Stupid Girl”
No mom wants her daughter to grow up and play the stupid card. When many starlets were making names for themselves (and fortunes) by being airheads, Pink called them all out in her “Stupid Girl” song and video. Her message to girls: act smart.
PINK will be revving up the V8 Supercars championship as its ambassador for the next three years.
In the biggest sports branding coup since Tina Turner belted out The Best for rugby league 20 years ago, V8 Supercars Australia have signed Pink to a multi-million dollar campaign themed by her hit Get The Party Started.
The American pop superstar filmed the Transformers-style television ads at the end of her record-breaking Funhouse tour last August.
Pink insisted on working with award-winning music video director Dave Meyers, who has shot most of her clips including the hilarious mini-movie for So What.
The Greatest Show On Wheels campaign was unveiled at a star-studded launch at Sydney’s Entertainment Quarter last night.
“We filmed it there at the end of the last tour - thanks again for that, by the way,” Pink said.
“It’s been a really fun ride and I’m excited for this new race season.”
Pink and her motocross champion Carey Hart test drove the cars during their extended visit of Australia last year.
“We got to test drive the cars … I didn’t have to drive with Carey Hart so I am alive.”
While in Australia last June, Hart signalled that he would be keen to make the transition to racing V8 Supercars here.
The Greatest Show On Wheels campaign was brokered by V8 Supercars boss Tony Cochrane with Roger Davies, the Australian music industry manager who looks after both Pink and Tina Turner.
“So why Pink? She’s the greatest female artist on the planet in my books. She’s not afraid to be different. She’s bold, she’s outspoken and she’s unapologetic. She’s the most popular modern day artist in this country by a country mile. She’s cool!” Cochrane said.
“For all of those reasons V8 Supercars and Pink are the perfect DNA match.”
Pink’s superstar presence also casts the sport’s big names in a sexier new light, with her commercial co-stars Jamie Whincup, Will Davison, Rick Kelly, Mark Winterbottom, Fabian Coulthard and James Courtney perfecting their best blue-steel looks.
