Pink says "So What" to anyone who will listen

Pink is undeniably hot and vocally talented, but I can also appreciate that she never seems to take herself too seriously. Case-in-point, her new video for the single "So What." Based very concretely on her relationship and now divorce from motocrosser Carey Hart, the song details Pink's moving on. (The repeated chorus contains the lyrics, "So what? I'm still a rock star.")

A musician who isn't afraid to use real life as lyrical fodder, Pink took the idea of her broken relationship and its media attention and turned it into a rather hilarious video. She plays pranks involving urination and beer bottles and harasses some newlyweds.

But perhaps the number one reason to watch Pink's new video? Three words: Naked Thriller dance.

Pink "So What"

Make sure to check out Pink's performance on the upcoming MTV Music Video Awards, which air Sept. 7.

Were Pink and Rihanna separated at birth or am I confusing them because of the haircut? :)

YES!

I heard this song on the radio the other day and was totally jamming in my car. I love it! The video makes it even better. She's badass and one of the people I know I could have some serious fun with. :) 

On a funny note, this reminds me of something that my little cousin always said to me in high school when her songs would come on. "Did you know that Pink's favorite color isn't pink? It's green! Weird!"

Are you feelin' what I'm flingin'?

Twstdtrinity's picture

Yay Pink

I loathe the color but I love the singer. lol Because of her last album I now have a huge crush on her. *swoons* She's dreamy....

I'm totally addicted to her new song and I can not wait for the new album. *bounces* Yay new Pink songs!

All The Rage's picture

ahhh Pink

I love her. I saw her last year and just developed an even bigger crush on her.

I loved her last album and am pretty sure I'll love the new one.

brutal_romance's picture

aw Pink, join us on the other side of the fence :(

i loved the fact that Hart was in the vid with her, just gives all the sly tabloid people a swift kick in the face for all the havoc they caused. Hart and Pink made a cute couple, but i know Pink will look waaaaay hotter with a girl by her side. and oh lord, how she rocks live, one of the best concerts ive seen in my life.

danamitey's picture

what a hottie

Damn pink is the hottest woman in my mind...

I just love that Carey is in the video with her...I would like to think that means it was an amicable divorce

Rock ON P!NK...nothing can keep you down!

kulhaha's picture

Ummm hello new wife!

So....she's single again....hey Pink...call me!  (Keira and I are on a break...I blame stuntdouble)

Rock Moves

Anyone else notice that  some of the "rock moves" Pink refers to in her video are paradies on rock moves of other rock stars?  However, she is much hotter doing ROCK MOVES than any others in my opinion.

P!nk

I love me the girls from Philly! I'd love to see an odd hook up between Pink and Tina Fey on 30 Rock. Any old thing would do.
Aiden McCafy's picture

always a pleasure

Pink is absolutely amazing! this video just made my day. i havn't laughed like that for a long time.

i was wondering when Pink was going to write new songs but here it is!

fantabulous job!

GertandBernie's picture

Imagine my surprise

When I'm sitting in my car, listening to my same old radio station that plays crap like the Jonas Brothers 24/7 when THIS comes on. I love this song and I love Pink.

Tour?

I absolutely love Pink and the new song.  My cell phone is full of her music and I'm constantly changing ringtones.  Anyone know if she's planning a tour?
charbonneau's picture

I love me some Pink!

One of the smartest, fittest, rocking-est performers ever! That whole gymnast-on-a-ribbon thing in her last tour was extraordinary. (Never mind the music!)

Funny thing about the marriage failure: In an interview soon after the nuptials Pink said that their two careers, which inevitably required long periods of separation, would make the relationship stronger when they were together. Based on the lyrics in the video, it seems that Carey maybe had other ideas. Duh!

I only hope she had the dear one sign an iron-clad pre-nup.

P.S. Loved the scenes with her driving her little John Deere tractor in traffic, singing "I'm not gonna pay his rent". How mid-west white trash is that?

supapurplicious's picture

Nice!

That was a really cool video I've seen in a loong time! other videos are so boring!
LaurenSC5's picture

I remember...

...when I first heard about pink. She was on MTV, with her pink hair, and her f-you attitude, and her excessive hotness. I was convinced that she was gay, and we were gonna get married, and have little "finger babies" together. I mean what high school lesbian wouldn't...

pink

Now, eh, not much has changed. I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it. Good fantasies die hard. There once was a man from Nantucket... e-hem, anyway. P!nk's fantastic.

wickedgrrl's picture

PINK!!

Just when I think I can't love her more...

*sigh*

I really want to see her in concert someday.

The scene with the tree and the saw made me laugh.  Its awesome.  The whole thing made me laugh.

I was a little worried when there were only guys in the pillow fight scene, but shortly thereafter the girlies show up.  Pink without hot girls is just not right.

Veritas's picture

The video is awesome! It's

The video is awesome! It's taken me some time to get to like the song but now I love it. I'm very excited about the new album, let's hope it's as good as the others :)

And well, let's hope P!nk gets over the whole divorce thing, come on girl, you can do it! Go ahead and call Kristanna, she might help xD

sundancer's picture

Pink

Is it me, or do I sense a little bit of sarcasm and her being scared in the song instead of everything is going to be alright because shes a 'rock star' and still has her 'rock moves'?
geeness's picture

yay!!

woohoo, pink is back!!

loving this song and definitely looking forward to the new album!! naked thriller, lol!!

good to see carey in the video. wasn't sure it was him at first, he looks a bit different to how i remember him. which is probably with a helmet on, lmao!!!

i saw her in concert during the 'try this' tour. amazing show!! was supposed to see her again for the 'i'm not dead' tour, but i didn't go, and gave my ticket away. i probably should have went!

definitely gonna see her if she tours near me again!!

grahamcracker977's picture

Pink Live...

Rocks.  Saw her in Boston in 2002.  She was wearing the painted on leather motocross pants.  Hawt!

Favorite part...her singing Linda Perry's/4 Non Blondes...What's Up.

Love PINK.

Corny title I added. Anyhoo, I loooooove me some Pink, the singer. Girl's got fire in her belly. New Album about to drop. Thank Goddess! Can't wait to buy it. I love the quality and clarity and rough sound of her voice. Perfect.

 

Pyewacket's picture

I <3 P!nk.

I seriously do.

The vid reminds me of Stupid Girls...but this time taking a swipe at the "media darlings" who have handled their breakups not-so-very-well and too publicly.

O My Pinky Is Back At It!!!!:-)

Wow that was awesome!!!! I love this song and I love the video...man Carey Hart's so pretty! And big ups to him for actually being in the video....

Sorry things didn't work out for ya pink, maybe now you can go after what you really want a girlfriend cause I mean really isn't it about time?????

A really selfish side of me loves when singers get their heart broken, cause that's where all the best material comes from! Just look at Tegan & Sara!!!! Over a hundred songs, not a happy one in the bunch!!! (actually theres like 2)

                                                                                                    

Sara: They didn't hit that shit.
Tegan: I didn't...
Sara: Say it, it's okay, it's part of the therapy.
Tegan: No it really wasn't about "hitting that shit" I really wanted to like marry the person. I was in a very desperate state.
Sara: You wanted to hit that shit and get married.
Tegan: Yeah.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sara Quin: We like cocks that just don't have veins in them

ugh.

I do not like this video at all. The music is contrived; there's nothing to follow and it sounds like she just wrote the lyrics and told her band (or whoever makes her music) "Make this a song I can throw my arms around to."

And her body movements all seem so fake, like she thinks she's so funny and ironic because she's pretending to be angry. It all comes off very much like a teenage boy trying to own up to his "macho" status.

 (In my opinion, of course)

I guess everybody has their opinions about Pink and her music, I think she's awesome. But even the haters will have to admit that that video ticks a lot of boxes, lol!

Loved it!

This video is awesome! And the scenes with Carey were so cute! Love the song, must download now. And I love her hair! :)
victoriakellis's picture

we're all P!nk inside

I am always anxious for the newest Pink installment. Ever since she got real and gained creative control with the M!ssuderstood album I have loved her! Although I still sing along to her first album with its cheesy r&b hooks, the second hit home with its honest tales of woe. She has never conformed to 'Hollywood" standards of beauty and has rocked out with her own style! This video is in true Pink fashion. Its refreshing to see that she and Carey are still friends. She can do the naked Thriller dance for me anytime!

Leenaomi's picture

P!nk

She totally ROCKS!!!!! I can't wait for her next album.
Kayyo's picture

Hawt!!

Hawt!! Absolute hawtness!! Been a Pink fan eversince her first single came out, and the love never gets old!! She's just such a real person, real attitude, don't care about what other thinks about herself, and just so true to herself!! Love that she doesn't change her attitude (style, yeah) even with all the fame and fortune...she's also so cute with Carey in the video...

She's a first class celebrity in that she's not acting all glamarous and hollywood-ish and always keeping true to herslf. She's not afraid of people judging her and her actions and I guess that's why I've always been a fan of hers all this while...our 8 year relationship is still going strong :D

Thanks for being who you are Pink! Love ya always!!!

Love this video!

I love this video,its in a very similar style to her "stupid girls" video, its shows that she's very smart and has a terrific sense of humour, I cannot wait for the CD to hit the shelves.

*don't judge*

I usually really like Pink's stuff, but I think this song blows. Big time.
