No idea. I suspect I’ve probably seen one on a magazine cover and one in a commercial for something, but could not tell you anything else about their music, popularity, or appearance (although I’m guessing Pink usually wears something…pink?) ---

I know who both are. Having witnessed “Whenever, Wherever” and Pink’s output I don’t feel that I’m a better person for that knowledge. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/admit-you-dont-know-who-shakira-and-pink-are/106948.md?page=2)
