Other highlights included the tragic ballad Sober, which was dramatically performed inside a circular cage suspended from the ceiling filled with dancers, while Pink showed her old- school dance moves in a high-energy medley of early hits.
The problem seemed to be rectified by the show's first highlight, her most recent number one single Just Give Me A Reason, when it was just Pink on stage, giving the audience a breather from the bells and whistles. The sound mix was off for most of the show, with the five-piece backing band often unfortunately drowning out the crispness of Pink's vocal. There is once again a strong circus theme, clearly inspired by Cirque du Soleil, that attempts to connect the show together.īounding out of the stage almost 30 minutes past her scheduled arrival, Pink was immediately catapulted into the air by a trio of male dancers all the while belting out pop-rock hit Raise Your Glass.
The crowd, many dressed in various shades of pink or in outfits that paid homage to the singer's past costumes, came ready to pray at the altar of the almost mystifying cult that is Pink in Australia.Īfter cementing her pop superstar status on 2009's Funhouse tour, which broke records for a touring act in Australia, Pink hasn't changed the format with the latest extravaganza, merely taking what she does best and upping the ante. While this tour has already taken Europe and the US by storm, it is Australia that acts like Pink is their well-kept secret. The Pink effect was evident on the opening night of the Australian leg of her Truth About Love tour at Perth Arena on Tuesday night, the first of four sold-out shows. The 33-year-old has become Australia's biggest-selling and most in-demand live act through her connection and empowerment of the suburban working-class woman. No one understands this motto better than rebellious pop star Pink.
As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
