P!NK "funhouse" cd,2008, #2 US, #2 CAN, #1 UK, #1 AU
i didnt get her first two albums(too teeny bopper for my liking!),
bought "try this"(her third), "im not dead"(her fourth) and this, her fifth album...love all three of these ones.
so she went from crappy dyed pink haired teen fan based up to a respectable mature artist over the next couple of albums...always love seeing how a singer matures over time...a mark of a good artist IMO...
this is her 'breakup' album, fresh from a split with racing car hubby, she let all her emotions and vunerabilities out on this one...
some lovely ballads here,some good rock songs also and obviously the lead off single 'so what' with its sarcastic references to other famous people(like Eminem does)...great stuff,
theres even a so-called 'tearjerker' on this one in the sad yet beautiful 'i dont believe you'...
the album sold an amazing 11x platinum here, compared with the 2x platinum in the US, whch is why she always seems to tour here on an annual basis(she s bigger here than in any other country in the world!),
her tour that promoted this album sold out a staggering 58 stadium shows here including 17 nights in a row in Melbourne...a great artist, a great writer, a great performer and most of all an amazingly down to earth person from all accounts...and someone who could sing any genre and make it sound good(a rarity for artists these days!)
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
