WASHINGTON: Pink, an icon of Pop music honored for her “trailblazing and revolutionary impact on music, unique fashion, culture and philanthropy” with the MTV Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award has dedicated it to her little daughter Willow.
This prestigious award was presented to her by Ellen DeGeneres.
Pink recalled a time when Willow said to her “Mama, I’m the ugliest girl I know”. “I look like a boy with long hair.”
Pink felt upset by her little daughter’s and decided to take an action.
"I went home and I made a powerpoint presentation for her and in that presentation, there were androgynous rock stars and artists that live their truth and are probably made fun of every day of their lives and carry on. [They] wave their flag, and inspire the rest of us. These are artists like Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, Annie Lennox, Prince, Janis Joplin, George Michael, Elton John, so many artists."
The star singer performed a medley of her hits, including her new single, "What About Us.”
At the end, Pink thanked all other artists for what she said was her best moment.
