hey boys & girls! now i do love pink but this is the second time i've had to post about her copying / borrowing / stealing (take your pick) from another artist...last time it was the now deceased new zealand artist martin f. edmond and her u + ur hand video - this time los angeles based band powder has taken note that a lot of their stage show looks & ideas have popped up in pink's shows after they already were performed by powder! you can read more about the situation on powder's myspace blog but i think the pictures below (especially that top one) clearly show that pink is borrowing from powder...hopefully this will be the last time i have to call ms. pink out for something like this! if anyone has any more info or insight on this situation - please let me know! special thanks to my pal nessa for bringing this to my attention! popbytes over & out for now - xxoo!

PS there's another article on this whole thing over at musicindustrynewswire.com

It has just been brought to our attention here on the POWDER MySpace team that LA-based band PINK's new Summer Tour show bears more than a passing resemblance to Mama's show... in fact, it seems to be pretty much identical. Not only does Pink's 'new' show include Silks, Poles, Aerial hoops, blow-up dolls, chair routines, and 'Fem-Bot'-style backup dancers, but she wears very similar costumes and uses identically colored Silks to Ninette! So we are not just talking about a few similarities to a POWDER gig... basically, it appears to us that the whole show has been copied...read more

PINK COPIES & STRIKES AGAIN!

Sex dolls and pole dancing for a music show? That's so shameful and disgusting. What main age group are her fans anyway??

Well...the top photo (of the two girls together), that is from 2006. All the other stuff...well, that is 2004. So,in that repsect, I think Powder copied Pink. As for the ropes/circ de soliel stuff....she started that in 2004 as well...and added MORE of it for this years tour. The only similarity in that case is the fact that both have two women hanging from the ropes.

@Kacey Considering that Powder has been doing that kind of show since 2001 it would be sort of difficult for them to have copied something Pink has started in 2004 ;)
