P!NK took her famous acrobatic-style performance to new heights at the "ROCK IN RIO" Music Festival, with the popstar swinging from chandeliers on-stage. The JUST GIVE ME A REASON singer graced the stage at the Olympic Park in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Saturday to headline this year’s installment of the annual music festival. And it’s safe to say that Pink, 40, got the party started and delivered a standout performance thanks to her dizzying acrobatics. After being suspended in the air, Pink was seen dangling from a particularly large chandelier with seemingly no fear whatsoever. She then looped her legs into a hoop and hung upside down all the while still managing to sing. P!NK treated the packed-out audience to a host of her biggest hits, including SO WHAT, WHO KNEW, JUST LIKE FIRE, WHAT ABOUT US and RAISE YOUR GLASS.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I am but a casual Eno fan — or at least I was until I watched this exhaustive and passionate documentary on his electronic excellence. It runs more than 2 1/2 hours, and it's worth every minute of it.The music and footage are remarkable, tracing his career from Roxy Music to his solo accomplishments and collaborations with musical heavyweights such as David Bowie, Phil Manzanera and Chris Spedding.The film relies quite a bit on musical scholars at the expense of using Eno's voice, but the talking heads are extremely well spoken and enlightening. For those curious about experimental, avant-garde and ambient music but who need a little nudge to appreciate it, this documentary is invaluable.Highly recommended, and just a notch short of perfection for the absence of fresh Eno interviews. 9/10 stars.
