One of the highlights from Sunday’s 40th Annual American Music Awards was Pink‘s performance of her newest single, “Try.” In an attempt to recreate the music video for the song—which shows the singer doing some seriously challenging contemporary dance moves alongside a male dancer, both slathered in a spectrum of colored paint—Pink opened her act by balancing upside-down on the shoulders of her dance partner, showcasing her incredible strength and flexibility right from the start. She then moved through a difficult piece of choreography, all while singing live, making her performance one of the best of the night. Watch the clip above and tell us what you think!
