Multi-awarded singer, Pink, left the crowd speechless during her acceptance speech at the 2013 Billboard Women in Music Awards in New York last Tuesday. She delivered a heartfelt acceptance speech with a spattering of wisecracks about fellow pop stars.
She quipped, "What do you say when someone says, 'Hey, you're woman of the year'? If you are me, you think of all the other women out there who deserve it more. Hilary Clinton, Angelina Jolie ... Miley Cyrus if you're high as s--t and really into tongues."
She did, however, add that she was humbled and grateful, saying, "You don't think, 'Oh yeah, Woman of the Year? Pink for sure.' I don't, anyway, but I'm not going to argue with you. I'm grateful that I have helped girls from feeling different, ugly, unempowered."
The 34-year-old singer also noted that she hoped there will be more to her legacy than just the music. She said, "I wish to be remembered for my humor and my passion, but most of all my ability to go from angel to asshole in 3.5 seconds, but always for something I truly believe in."
It wasn't the only shot she fired during the night. While on the red carpet, she also refused to be put on the same corner as Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus.
When a journalist from Access Hollywood said, "You're an inspiration to a lot of the younger musicians coming up like Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga," the songstress laughed, saying, "I hope that I inspire women to put their clothes on, really,"
According to Yahoo! It is a good year for Pink, as she was also nominated for two Grammies for Song of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her hit, "Just Give Me a Reason" with Nate Ruess, frontman of Fun! Even if she wouldn't be the one taking home the Grammy on January 25, she's already a winner. According to her, "Billboard f--cking magazine made me woman of the year! I win."
