She’s arguably the biggest music star in Australia these days. He’s the frontman for one of the hottest new bands on planet pop. So together, they should prove to be an unstoppable pop force right? If early indications are anything to go by, the pairing of US songstress P!nk and Fun. frontman Nate Ruess for P!nk’s new single ‘Just Give Me A Reason’ is a smash hit.
After the video premiered on the ‘Today Show’ this morning, the song has bulleted into the top five on the local iTunes chart – and it’s not hard to understand why.
An impassioned track about the breakdown of a relationship, the vocal harmonies between P!nk and Nate are rather superb – and P!nk (as always) has the ability to grasp the emotion of the lyrics she’s singing. After all, she (along with Nate) wrote most of them.
We’d have loved a little more drama in the song straight after P!nk’s almighty high note around the 2:45 mark, but that’s just nit-picking… ‘Just Give Me A Reason’ is a No.1 in waiting.
Australia's first stop for pop!

Hey Anonymous #2,
No mention yet of extra shows for P!nk, but if the demand is there from your fellow Queenslanders, there’s no reason why they won’t add another Brisbane show.

First listen I think it’s great, but……to be honest I was hoping it would take off a bit more

It’s definitely going to be a smash hit (and a welcome one, after the “Are We All We Are” experiment failed – a rarity for P!nk….). Any news on additional shows, guys? The Brisbane shows have been all but sold out since November (only the odd single package ticket available).

Yet again she is prancing around in her underwear. Seem to remember her bitching about Britney Spears for doing the same thing. Have you seen the latest New Idea (or similar) magazine cover?
Little hypocritical if you ask me.
Boring song but yes, she can sing!!

I think this is the best single from the album. I hope she gets a number one here in Australia with it because it is awesome
