See what I mean about close averages? Only 0.1 marks higher is P!nk's 3rd album, seen by many as a bit of a flop due to it not following the same success as M!zzundaztood. A real shame since it is a much better album and her only proper rock one, she's go on to do more pop-rock in the future. This is mych more gritty and raw, which I love. It is often too overlooked, so to see it above TTAL is both a shock and a happy surprise.

Try This is pretty much the same deal as The Truth About Love for me, some of it is immensely dull but I can appreciate it more as it sounds like more effort has gone into it, and isn't so much P!nk on autopilot.

 

'Humble Neighbourhoods', 'Oh My God', 'Hooker' and 'Walk Away' are gems though.

Try This is everything, if I was allowed to give two 11s... :P

 

Unwind is my favourite track, and the tour was probably my favourite of her tours ❤️

"The Truth About Love" = A very decent album, but not quite as great as (Missundaztood, I'm Not Dead & Funhouse), but still a very solid album, the first 3 singles were spot on, but was never keen on "True Love", found that track very sub par. "$l*t Like You" or "Walk Of Shame" should have got released, I know the latter got released in Australia, but if it was given a proper push along with a proper music video, then it would have become a hit. Also "SLY" is a definite standout. But honestly nothing beats the big 3 "Blow Me (One Last Kiss(" was a very decent comeback single and did the job, "Try" was just beautiful and sombre and "Just Give Me A Reason" was just immense and has become her biggest selling single of her career and well deserved.

 

 

"Try This", Okay I wasn't keen on this at first and felt it just wasn't as strong as "Missundaztood", but I have warmed to it throughout the years and I do like it's harder rock edge, "Trouble" is definitely the standout track and ranks as one of my personal Pink faves. Other standouts are "God Is A DJ", "Tonight's The Night", "Oh My God", "Catch Me While I'm Sleeping" and "Humble Neighbourhoods"

P!nk's second and most annoying to type out album ends up as her third most popular album here. I have to admit to not being a big fan of this album, although it does have some

of her best songs on it, Just Like A Pill anyone? Less r&b, more pop-rock, this was the first real hint of what P!nk stood for in terms of her music and the public took to it in a big way,

going 6 times Platinum here in the UK and 5 times in the US. Slay

Fantastic album! I think it really shows her personality and what she had in store for the public in the years following this record.

 

I think she really needs a new Missundaztood, to re-invent herself and make her artistically interesting again.

And there we go, the best P!nk album according to you all is Funhouse. But we had to have a runner-up and in this case it was I'm Not Dead. The album that took P!nk right to the forefront of many people's affections and to the tops of the charts after her less than steller Try This era. Stupid Girs was the perfect way to lead off the era and it allowed the album to sell by the bucket load, it also gave us the classic tune that is Who Knew. Selling upwards of 6 million copies WW, it shows that when she brings it with an album, she brings it hard.

Funhouse followed the success of IND and pretty much followed suit in terms of sales and singles. The albums are pretty similar althougb FH edges it when it comes to ballads; GLitter In The Air and I Don't Believe You show off her tender side to perfection.

Despite giving FH my 11, I think IND is pretty much on a par. FH has better ballads but I think IND edges with the uptempos. Either way, it's rare that an artist can

devlier such a high standard of music in a row like she has done.

 

Singles kicking off this aff.

And now on to the singles:

 

11 | 6.5 | Feel Good Time

HS: 10 (Cody, Heezus) 9 (Viper)

LS: -1 (Jonjo) 4 (Liamk97)

 

10 | 6.52 | There You Go

HS: 9.5 (Riser) 8 (troublepink, Acidburn, Regina, Viper)

LS: 4 (Mr pmt, Heezus) 5 (Lindsey, NickF1, pippa)

 

Feel Good Time was a single from the overlook and undervalued Try This and was one of the leads from it as well as a single from the second Charlie's Angels movie which P!nk

appeared in. Produced by William Orbit, most well known for working with Madonna on her vastly overrated Ray Of Light album. This song is not one of her best, but it gets way too much hate IMO, it's unoffensive and plods along nicely.

Much of P!nk's debut album is r&b tinged and as such, not classed as "P!nk" enough for her fans, but i happen to like it. Her debut single from that album and her first ever single is one of the better songs from said album, it has attitude, pink hair and a cool video. Again, I think people give this a hard time, but at least it didn't end up at the bottom.

Feel good time isn't too bad, but I can't play it too much. I like listening to it during summer time as well :lol:

 

There you go....great song, but not as good as most girls. I'm glad Pink ditched the r&b thing, but I do enjoy her attitude back then :P

A lovely little ballad and way too low here tbh. Used for the second Happy Feet movie, this served as the movie ballad moment and is a really touching song that shows off P!nk's

softer side. Clearly people here are just too emotionless as it ends up so low :cry:

I think maybe BOL is so low because a lot of people may not have heard of it as it was only a soundtrack single with hardly any promo etc. It took me a while to get into it, but its a lovely song :heart:

08 | 6.97 | Lady Marmalade

HS: 10 (Acidburn, Ultrabasicbitch) 9.5 (Cody)

LS: 0 (Mr pmt) 3 (Jonjo)

 

I have made my feelings on this song well known, so I won't drone onhere, but it's crap.

Used as a soundtrack to Moulin Rouge! it stormed to #1 here, so i guess it has that going for it. What ruins this is X-tina's OTT warbling, fine on her own songs

but when she is with 3 other artists trying to get some decent airtime, it looks desperate and annoying.

 

Not really a fan of Lady Marmalade tbh and I agree that Christina ruins it and she looks trashy. I know they're supposed to look trashy, but Pink looks hot trash, christina looks trashy trash :lol:

rose. ave had a few promo singles, but the title track was the first of these. A simple acoustic ballad which allows P!nk and Dallas to combine voices beautiful. I was never blown away by this, but loved the change in direction for P!nk and showing off her voice like this. As time has passed I have actually grown to rather like this, listening to it as I do this post, it's a sweet little song.
