Pink premieres awesome video for awesome song “Try”

Just when you’re so bored with Pink that it’s impossible to even make it through one uninterrupted spin of The Truth About Love, she goes and outdoes herself with some kind of crazy athletic stunt that leaves you with no other choice but to bow down at her muscular feet.

It took endless radio rape for Pink’s Two Door Cinema Club knock-off “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” could really grow on me, but her rock ballad follow-up “Try” was instant love from the first listen. The music video just dropped, and it’s better than anyone could’ve ever expected — especially after that flop “Blow Me” visual.

Pink takes her gymnastic tricks up another notch in the clip, busting out an incredibly difficult contemporary dance routine that would leave any other pop diva in a neck brace and a hospital bed if they ever dared try it. With that said, this was already done by Shakira in “Did It Again”, but Pink does it better and without the aide of a body double.

Pink is on another level when it comes to performance. Even when her music stagnates or her lame rebel attitude becomes too annoying to bear, her sheer skill as an entertainer is still enough to leave you in awe. It’s sad to see that her contemporaries, especially the ones that don’t have a shred of her vocal talent, don’t put in even 1% of the effort that Pink does when it comes to bettering herself as a performer.

Check out “Try” below.

    I think both “Try” and “Did It Again” are amazing in their own ways, I don’t see one better than the other, and I doubt Shakira use a body double, since both P!nk and her are the most athletic type of chicks and the most awesome peformers in the industry, I really like the emotion of this one really goes amazing with the mood of the song.

    I hear everybody raving about this video but I just don’t get it.

    Great concept and I really respect Pink for going there but from a technical point of view that was simply not great.

    P!nk never ceases to amaze me. With every other basic bitch in the game just changing out their weave color, and copying the others around them, P!nk manages to continually churn out catchy pop tunes, and relevant visuals. While her latest music may not be ground-breaking or amazing by any standards, it still manages to be what it needs to be for her fans… Sassy, spunky, and honest.

    ‘Try’ is a perfect example. There’s a number of pop-tarts that could mime their way through this track, and a number of stronger singers like Kelly Clarkson or Christina Aguilera who probably could’ve sung it better… That being said, when the lyrics come to life in a visual like this video… It’s clear exactly who this song is from… P!nk. After a video like this I can’t imagine anyone doing it better. That’s what makes p!nk a unique artist.

    ‘The Truth About Love’ is in my top 5 pop albums of this year for sure … It’s some of P!nk’s most fun material in my opinion… This video is stunning as well… I’m personally psyched to see her live … Especially after her ‘Funhouse’ gig snatched my brain!

    I’m honestly tired of her whole gymnastic shtick.

    I would give anything to just see Christina try this — even in parody. Would be HILARIUS! Pink is kickin assholes here.

    Simple video, great contemporary moves… long story short the guy in the video *ovaries exploded*

    *google to find man’s name and address*

  • SerferTJ

    Well, well, well. Pink is copying Shakira again I see. SOOOO obsessed… http://blog.gettyimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/90713450.jpg

    I’m kidding. This video is beautiful and I love that she’s basically showing that dance can be more than chest pops and pussy-pats. I really wanna see her perform it live on TV like NOWWW!!!!
    …But the song bores me to death tbh.

    can’t wait to see what she will do for the song for her daughter. “RUN”. I hope that song will get a single treatment.

    When they start running toward each other at the end I suspected they would jump into the air and, before the collision, the visual would cut away, somehow. That’s exactly what happened.
    I saw this excellent dance routine at my university a little over a decade ago where a male and female dancer spent the whole piece cheekily “fighting” (choreographed to an uptempo song with lots of percussion). For the finale, they took off running at each other from opposite corners of the stage, leapt into the air, and, a nanosecond before “impact” the lights and music were cut. There was no sound of them landing and no sight. It was so impressive.
    Pink’s very committed and competent. I might’ve liked this more if I hadn’t already seen such a similar performance that wowed me so much.

    Well she’s manlier than her man, so…

  • iAmAwesome

    Oops at you cuz “Did it again” was so much better than this cunt-punting video.

  • KingBeaArthur

    “Try” was one of the only songs I could make it through off of TTAL. I’m happy to see she put in the effort with the mv and didn’t half ass it again.

  • Christian

    The thing about Pink is she takes herself seriously as a stage performer. She really and truly takes it to the next level with the amount of training she puts in to give us these performances. Everything from the acrobatics to this very difficult dance takes time and dedication, and I think it shows her fans that she really cares about delivering a good solid product at the end of the day. Both her music videos for this album have been badass, and her performance at the VMAs was the best of the night, just like her Grammy performance a few years before. Way to go! :)

    Got a problem with hot girls that have a muscular and strong body? Or maybe you prefer the skinny ones that starves themselves and can barely stay put.

  • iAmAwesome

    Ciara is a “hot girl with a muscular and strong body,” P!nk is BUTCH QUEEN.
