Pink: Parlez Vous Francais?
Pink whose birth name is Alecia Beth Moore, isn’t fond of her birth name, or her stage name. She got the nickname Pink when she was a child and says both names make her uncomfortable.
She had this to say:
“When people call me Alecia Beth Moore, I cringe. I feel like I’m grounded all over again. It’s like Mommy Dearest is going to come out with a wire hanger. I don’t feel like Pink either. I feel like I’m a soul walking around. I don’t feel defined by the name… I just feel like a really strange girl.”
While she may not enjoy her names, she does have her priorities. Her main one is to learn French.
Pink who is 29-year old now says:
“I was listening to a lot of French music, old singers like Edith Piaf. It was inspiring…So I’m taking French classes and I’ve given myself a target of being fluent by the time I’m 35.”
