Pink: The Discography Rate ∞ WINNER!

I'm not even going to lie I totally forgot about Private Show. It's definitely one of my faves off debut, unfortunately looking back on some of my scores my love for certain songs aren't quite reflected because I was trying to not just give everything an 8 - 10.

Circle Game - deserved a bit better, but I'm not too fussed it got axed since the chorus is absolutely lazy, which kinda is an issue on some songs throughout that album.

Courage - sounds like a 2015 song written by Sia and The Script and P!nk found an old demo and decided to record it... So good riddance.


Tomorrow we cut the fat and get to the TOP 100.

Will 'Can We Pretend' make it?

You forget sometimes how decent her material actually is, of course the albums have filler but I don't hate anything. Besides 'Just Give Me A Reason' and 'Revenge', the latter mostly because of Eminem's dated misogyny.
 
Not another 10! I did not expect "Private Show" to leave before top 100 at all. At least not over "Leaving for the Last Time" and the title track, among many songs from other albums.
It's definitely one of the highlights on her debut - effortlessly amazing.
I keep saying this, but poor debut album!

"Circle Game" is nice and has amazing vocals, of course, but I don't get back to it as much, so I'm Ok wothout it. I assumed it woyld leave around the time that "Love Me Anyway" and "The Last Song of Your Life" were eliminated.

"Courage" is such a great song and definitely went too early.
The production sounds almost the same as on some of the songs on "1000 Forms of Fear".
But seeing how "Waterfall" has done, I'm glad that it didn't leave earlier.

Courage is so damn Sia-song-generator but I enjoy it. Circle Game is so bland. Private Show on the other hand? BAWP.
My exact thoughts summed up!

Respect.png

102. Respect
Average score: 6.49
Highest score: 9x4 (@Lost Boy, @Verandi, @Music Is Life, @rick)
Lowest score: 3 (@Duppe)
My score: 9

I get really sick and tired of boys up in my face

P!nk's very own 'Lady Marmalade' falls just before the 100 hurdle. I still find it slightly hilarious that it seems behind the melodramatic coupling of 'Misery' and 'Don't Let Me Get Me', but we all know she likes to play with cheekiness as much as brutal honesty. 'Respect' is somewhat of an outlier for her, whilst also recalling 'Get the Party Started' and what would go on to become 'U + Ur Hand'.

Basically P!nk is really good at shit-talking the men that try to feast on women without their consent, and quite honestly I think she always pulls it off. The song is sonically reminiscent of a handful of classics (especially the R-E-S-P-E-C-T chorus hook) but... this song absolutely captures me when it's playing. It's a total ride from start to finish.

Commentary corner:

@rick: (9) ‘Sisters it’s time to be greedy’ Life advice I never stopped heeding

@abael: (8) Bass, Beat and Brashness, P!nk earns that exclamation point here.

@Music Is Life: (9) I love this so much. It’s so sassy and fun, and I love the production. That pre-chorus/chorus combo is honestly one of the best on the album. Such a bop.

@Maki: (5.75) First of all, I don’t listen to (nor like) rap in general. This song is one of the low points of the album, The hook is actually really catchy and her vocals sound great. I don’t consider this song a filler, because it’s the only ‘rap’ song, but it really gets lost in the tracklist. The production is clumsy, too.

@R27: (5.5) This is so corny, and it certainly didn't do itself any favors by opening itself up to comparisons to one of the greatest and most well-known feminist anthems of all time. That being said, I respect the message and the whole vibe is pretty cheeky and fun.
@savilizabeths: (8) “This one is so fun! She definitely pulls it off, and the lyrics are such a mood. It’s such a great empowering message. It makes me smile. I actually enjoy the rap. I love her just feeling herself.”



Better-Life.png

101. Better Life
Average score: 6.49
Highest score: 10x3 (@P'NutButter, @playboy69, @Music Is Life)
Lowest score: 3 (@əʊæ)
My score: 9.5

Beautiful Trauma loses one of its finest tracks at the last hurdle in 'Better Life', an ode to scrolling through social media and being inundated with lives much better than your own. It's a modern topic I'm sure we all relate to, and it's a difficult spiral to get yourself away from.

But I can't shake the feeling that you picture a better life.

Relationship anxiety is an absolute killer, and the only real way to fight it is by being honest about it with your partner? A partner that doesn't accept the anxieties cause by past traumas is not a good partner, and I've spent many a sleepless night terrified for absolutely no reason that I could never possibly be good enough for said person. Luckily for us with the help of Jack Antanoff, P!nk manages to condense this into a whimsical tune that's packed to the brim with hooks.

It's a fairly minimal song for her, which I adore, but I think the majority of voters took that as it being... fine. Apart from a couple of the same tired joke, most people appreciated this as a throwback to her earlier days whilst also tackling something new. Also it's a total earworm.

Commentary corner:

@JMRGBY88: (6.5) It’s fine. But that’s all it is.

@P'NutButter: (10) Truly one of my favourite P!nk songs now. I love it.

@rick: (7) I wished for a better song.

@R27: (3.5) I can picture a better song.

@abael: (8) The creative implementation of the keyboard and line delivery give this track some much needed identity.

@Music Is Life: (10) When I first listened to the album, this stood out to me as an automatic favorite lyric. I love the bluesy, lite-R&B feel of the track, I love quick-paced melody on the verses and the chorus, and I love how honest the lyrics are. This is one of the best on the album and I hope it does well here.

@Maki: (6.5) This is so cute, and a great nod to her R&B days. I almost feel sorry for not giving this song a higher score. It's just not remarkable enough and its unfortunate position makes it get lost in the tracklist. The outro goes on for a bit too long, and I wish there was something more to the song melody. Although, I love the middle-8, which is the best part of the song. And what are those vocals at the beginning and the end supposed to be?

@savilizabeths: (7) “The lyrics here are really interesting to me, and I feel a connection to the feelings of this. I have a lot of insecurities, sometimes even in my relationship when I know there’s no reason to. The song also has a cool chill vibe which contrasts interestingly with the anxiety of the lyrics. It’s a cute little song.”


Tomorrow I'll need some time for the write up because it's going to be an emotional one. :(

I’ve been pretty MIA on the reveals so far but Respect is a song I do not like at all but i’m still surprised I had the single lowest score for it.

My biggest upsets so far are We Could Have Had It All and Chaos & Piss leaving, two brilliant songs that deserved to do way way way better.
 
What a shame to see Better Life go! Beautiful Trauma is possible her second best album to me and I always kinda overlooked this song to begin with as it's a subtler moment amongst the drama/noise but the lyrics just really ended up clicking with me.
