Pink is one of the most talented people in the music industry. The great thing about Pink is that she’s not tied down to one genre or style. She can do love ballads and hard-rock anthems, whichever the occasion calls for. Whatever she decides to do, she’s going to do it better than anyone else or at least try to. In her career, Pink has sold more than 40 million records around the world and 50 million singles. As far as awards go, she has won five World Music Awards and three Grammy Awards.
One thing people love about Pink is that she’s not above covering someone else’s song and putting her own signature stamp on it. In a live performance, Pink covered the song “Wicked Game” by American rock singer Chris Isaak, who wrote and released the song on his “Heart Shaped World” album in 1989. “Wicked Game” was released as a single in 1990, but it didn’t become a big hit until it was featured in a movie called “Wild at Heart.” After that, an Atlanta radio station began playing the song and “Wicked Game” because he was a fan of the director of the movie, David Lynch. As a result, “Wicked Game” became a nationwide top-10 song by January 1991 and reached number six on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.

Pink typically focuses on more athleticism in her performances. She doesn’t need sultriness, and she rarely uses it. However, when it’s warranted for a song like “Wicked Game,” Pink can bring it. That should surprise no one. She’s just talented enough to do anything. So as she’s standing there crooning and three muscled-up guys come out and surround her, things heat up very quickly. They astonishingly toss her around like she’s a rag doll, and they make it look so easy. The idea seems to be that these three men are all vying for the attention of a beautiful woman, and she’s trying to decide between them. However, the heroine can’t decide or doesn’t want to. Or maybe she knows that she simply doesn’t have to choose. At the end of the video, the men are gone, and it’s just her left on the stage, true to the message of the song.
