I think she actually has managed to do the one thing that so many of today's artist's fail in their work - the have variety in their lyrics. As was mentioned in another thread, so many of Eminem's work refers to his past marriage and relationship with his mother and daughter. Another example being Christina Aguilera, who, like the other two is a great lyricist, but so much of her work is about her past in domestic violence with her mother or about female empowerment. That's just two of her contemporaries I chose at radnom btw. Obviously all of the aforementioned issues are important but I think P!nk has managed to write equally as evocative lyrics without getting stuck in a rut.

I can say yeah, shes done a wide range of genres and worked with a lot of people. I guess what she does isn't 'badass' but creating a persona for what she thinks maybe is relevant at that time. But is also able to produce personal songs and that. I do like that about pink and well any artist who are able to produce, a fun jokey song and then serious personal song and get credit for both. Takes a respected artist to do that really and i'd say shes achieved that status.
