IF PINK ever quits her day job, she could make gazillions teaching the rest of the world how to enjoy their gig.
Her Australian fans were well educated about her impressive vocals and athleticism as she rolled The Truth About Love tour into the Sydney Entertainment Centre last night.
Hey, she is the ONLY performer who can bungie and sing at the same time. And that's for the opening song Raise Your Glass.
Where Pink excels where so many strutting our stages don't is she is clearly loving every moment, even in the middle of 40 odd shows.It is the big grins, the shout outs, the pointing to the favoured who catch her attention, the requisite emotion etched on her face for each lyric which make a Pink concert an immersive experience.

Add the circus staging and a very naughty host and risque bits and you have got Willy Wonka for adults.
And the kids, of whom there are as many as there are grandparents, love the spectacle. They love Pink.
One of her finest achievements of the production is its carefully crafted pacing.
Pink deftly balances the dancing and singing, the pop songs with the rock outs and the ballads and keeps the audience engaged for almost every second.
Her only misstep may be with the covers which after mote than 20 hits on the Australian charts, she simply doesn't need in the set.
While Chris Isaak's Wicked Game fits the Truth About Love theme, the small exit to the bathrooms might suggest they want Pink and only Pink.
However her acoustic rendition of Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time resonated strongly with those keen for a singalong.
One of the cutest moments of her opening Sydney concert was the distraction thrown up by Punk spotting a seven-year-old boy holding a sign asking if he could marry her three-year-old daughter Willow. Yep, it was too cute.
Pink continues her pop princess reign at the Sydney Entertainment Centre for seven more shows before returning with four shows at Allphones Arena in September.
