It was going to be difficult to follow IND for me but Funhouse really wa# the perfect follow up. There was so much hype for Pink back then with So What going to no.1 and this becoming her first no.1 album. I had just turned 20 and was in my second year of uni and this was my favourite album of the time. My life has changed so much in the last 10 years.

A great variation of tracks, kick-ass anthems and soul-bearing ballads, that all feel very linked together. Great vocals too, they add so much grit and heart to what are already strong tracks. Fell in love with album all over again upon relistening. Don't know what songs are regarded as highlights by fans but I Don't Believe You and Glitter in the Air are such beauties.

I still love it now though. It hasn't really aged and I actually went to the tour as well so a lot of good memories from this album. I love So What, Sober, Glitter In The Air, Please Don't Leave Me, and so many more I could name! She finally got that #1 album in the UK too with this too

I went to see about 10 shows on the tour, including the t-mobile advert in London, and its also the era that I met her. I took my mum to her first pink show on the funhouse tour as well, so this era holds lots of great memories for me

Even some of the album tracks 'One Foot Wrong, 'Crystal Ball' and 'Its All your Fault, are fantastic moments.

Please Don’t Leave Me is by far her best video (as Buzzjack has proved ) and So What is arguably her most iconic song in terms of global impact at least. I remember my mum had this album on in her car nonstop for about 6 months

It holds a lot of memories for me so I was stunned to see its been 10 years since the album was released. Doesn't feel like 10 years . All the singles were great from this era. It also had some strong album tracks "Its All Your Fault" "Mean" and "This Is How It Goes Down".

Pretty spot on really, I'd have probably given 'Bad Influence' a full release over the title track though.
