Posted April 9, 200718 yr That group was called Choice and soon alecia became the third person they were looking for. Their music style was black R&B. The first song that they record was ‘Key to my Heart’ which was selected to be on the Kazaam soundtrack. At last Alecia was getting somewhere musically. She was very excited about her song being on the radio. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u301/pinkprincess66613/Choice/alecia_teenchoice.jpg Meanwhile at LaFace Records, Antonio ‘LA’ Reid happened to overhear one of his asisstents listen to Key to my heart, he couldn’t believe this song was being sang by three white girls. Antonio wanted to get the girls into Atlanta in four days so an excited Choice flew out to Atlanta to see Antonio in his office. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u301/pinkprincess66613/Choice/pink_band.jpg They performed their songs and their audience loved them. Choice got their record deal with LaFace Records. Alecia signed the record contract when she was just 16 years old. It was a big achievement for her. She now knew that she was going to be famous and felt that she didn’t need school any more so she dropped out. She had a limo pick her up from school on the day she left, there was no looking back for alecia now. The girls all lived together in a house and had a lot of fun together. They soon became best friends. Alecia worked very hard for the band, it was her life now and she was getting to where she wanted to be musically. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u301/pinkprincess66613/Choice/alecia_teen1membrochoices.jpg http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u301/pinkprincess66613/Choice/2844290.jpg One year at Christmas, LaFace decided to make Choice the entertainment for the Christmas party. They performed three songs badly. Alecia stood out from the other girls but their performance was still poor. People were now unsure of the group but they still liked alecia. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u301/pinkprincess66613/Choice/2810298.jpg After the performance, LA Reid spoke to alecia. He thought the performance was poor but he still thought she was a good singer. He suggested that alecia left the group and went alone as a solo artist. This was a hard descion for alecia as she had grown a fine friendship with the rest of the group. But she so desperately wanted to reach her dreams of becoming famous. After a lot of tears and discussions, alecia left the band. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u301/pinkprincess66613/Choice/3186.jpg Alecia was now on her own. But she was getting tired of people calling her alecia and one day she went into LA Reid’s office and said “I’m not alecia, I’m Mr Pinkâ€. Resivour dogs was one of alecia’s favourite films and her friends told her she was like Mr Pink because a crazy character which fitted alecia’s personality perfectly. Eventually she dropped the ‘Mr’ and became Pink. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u301/pinkprincess66613/Choice/mrpink.jpg She went to her friends house not long after becoming pink wearing a long black wig. She took it off to reveal short, bright pink hair. And so P!nk was born. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u301/pinkprincess66613/Choice/28829.jpg Next Week on Through the Years: There you go....Pink Releases her first solo single!
