P!ink - I'm Not Dead Yet

Okay, I really like her albums, but what bugs me is the fact that in reviews they always praise her for her originality. Sure she does surprise us because the next album can be totally different, but original?

Let's just quote Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic, the site that in time became like the 'wikipedia'of music:

That's because she not only sounds strange, she sounds stronger as a writer and singer, as convincing when she's singing the bluesy, acoustic "The One That Got Away" as when she's taunting and teasing on "Stupid Girls" or "U + Ur Hand" or when she's singing a propulsive piece of pure pop like "Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely)." In other words, she sounds complex: smart, funny, sexy, catchy, and best of all, surprising and unpredictable.

Well okay, let's take that bluesy convincing and unpredictable 'The One that Got Away' from a live performance and while you watch it listen carefully to the start and take note of the guitar player...



And now play the great Neil Young...
Is it just me?
