Its funny I been a fan for years, but I keep coming back and watching this video when she was kinda a kid like me then heh. Thanks to whomever for posting it. Its funny that she liked Hit me with your best shot here but now she detests performing it and says so openly.  It makes me laugh.

[PikaB]

I think she disliked the song back then (probably because of the way it can be misinterpreted as justification for domestic abuse), but she knew that it had enormous potential to be a big hit (because "hit me with your best shot" was a recent big "catch phrase" which had not yet been used in pop music). I'm just guessing.

I agree totally. There are no good female rockers out there today along the lines of Pat, Deborah, Stevie, Chrissie, Ann & Nancy or anyone else like that. All the "rock chicks" out today are so prefabricated and almost too pop to be considered rock. Seriously, is there anything about Avril or Pink that really "rocks"?

Pat,what a voice,talent and beauty all together.She reminds an era when the girls used to love men and care about their boyfriends and forget about the today's material girls whores such as Pam Slut Lee,or Paris Whore Hilton today's icons for all girls.God we arelost for sure. I want my 80's rock back

I don't know what it is but she comes across so DAMN CUTE in this interview. I love her accent and raspy voice.

@Joanne1974KiwiGirl I love P!nk but seriously? She's fantastic, but still not in the same league as the classic rocker chicks like Benatar, Jett, Nicks, Patti, etc. But yes, P!nk is far better than most sorry excuse for female "rockers" we see in the music scene today.

Pat is classically trained to rock your fuckin' socks off!

[decimated550]

@PaperP1ate - well, i would defend Pink. She's a great self-promoter, big personality, and puts everything into her stage show. What's not to like? Her songs are alright. Pat and her people have more musicianship, definitely.

Avril, while i wouldn't kick her out of bed (i'd kick her *into* bed as a matter of fact)

hangs so much on her look, and probably has an army of songwriters and image makers...swagger coaches...Not the real deal

Before reading last rites for Female Rock 'N Roll singers check out my channel; Experience who in my opinion will be our future Queen of Rock 'N Roll.!!!!!!!!!! This is the anti-Pop Rock artist that you have all been seeking.!!!!!!!!

@PaperP1ate haha you wrote this comment a year ago but you forgot joan jett. I also agree with you, girls need to start singing rock instead of pop!

@nrthdude1 Are you kiddin' Alanis was the Pat of the 90's. Cheryl was and is very much a pop/country flavor. A female "Eagles" type of singer. You Outta Know! :)

@famous9n9the9future - when I had seen the two perform on Crossroads, Martina could of pasted as Pat's younger sister.
