P!nk - U + Ur Hand


P!nk's music video for "U + Ur Hand"

First of all I'd like to start with P!nk's video for "U + Ur Hand". This particular video stands out from the rest for me because there is so much going on in this video. With every image that she has within this video, she gives off a demonic/boisterous aura. However, she is wearing a lot of vibrant, deep red colour suggesting that she may be boisterous but she's still promiscuous and passionate. It also suggests that she's dangerous, so we should be aware of her. This song is about how men try to "pull" her at bars/clubs, but she's telling them it's just them and their "hand" tonight, basically saying they are getting nothing whatsoever from her. The video is presented to us as if we were reading a book, showing that P!nk is trying to show us a story in her life. The video shows her as a mechanic, a boxer and a devil looking figure. These "roles" are usually seen as male, so this emphasises her tomboy-ish personality. However, when she is the boxer, she has glittery gloves on; retaining her femininity.
