Pink will never be picture-perfect Beyoncé. When it comes to the two pop stars, Pink claims the difference is black and well, Pink.
“The best I can gather is that Australia likes their artists to be rugged and raw and authentic, and America likes their artists to be glamorous and a little more packaged and glossy—like the difference between me and Beyoncé,” the “Sober” singer tells Rolling Stone in the magazine’s September 17 issue.
Although she respects Beyoncé, Pink says she lacks the polish of her peer. “She’s beautiful, she’s multitalented, and she lives this jet-set lifestyle,” she explains. “And then there’s me: You would picture me out in a field boxing a kangaroo with makeup running down my face, crying about something that happened a week ago.”
The North American leg of Pink’s Funhouse tour kicked off this week. She will make stops at Los Angeles’ Staples Center (Sept. 18) and Houston’s Toyota Center (Sept. 24) before closing at Madison Square Garden on October 5.

MORE HOT PHOTO'S FROM THE VMA'S
Jay-Z gives us another smash performance this week. Following his concert Friday on Fuse. Jay teamed up with Alicia Keys to perform the song Empire State Of Mind off of his latest Album Blueprint 3. The performance had the audience on there feet. Alicia sounded great and Jay-z delivered.
As you can see VMA winner Beyonce was not shy about letting us know why she still is a force to be reckoned with. Even though single ladies is a year old she still brought the crowd to its feet with her amazing rendition. She turned the show into a BEYONCE concert. She brought the fire, energy and vocal that we know and love. Congrats to her and winning VIDEO OF THE YEAR
VMA'S Best New Artist Lady Gaga showed us how theatrical and persuasive she could be as she performed Paparazzi. Entering the stage in all white and completely capturing the attention of the audience she continued to go the extra mile. She gives us a small section of her on the piano in which afterwards she kills her self on stage. Amazing Congrats to her on her award.
Later that night while accepting the VIDEO OF THE YEAR AWARD. Beyonce corrected Kanye West mistake and gave Fellow winner Taylor Swift an opportunity to finish making her acceptance speech. Beyonce gets all kind of cool points for this. That's a true sport and shows she is humble.
SOLANGE LOOKS GREAT IN THIS DRESS..
