I bought this CD from HMV for only £7.99, which is a really good offer considering what great tracks are on it. Before I go into any more detail about the album. I'll tell you a bit about the artist!

A Pink Portfolio
**********************
Pink's Real name is Alecia Moore. Her Date of Birth is 8th September 1979. Pink's name is sometimes stylized as P!nk. She was born in Doylestown in Pennsylvania in the USA. Pink identified herself in the Jewish religion. From her Mother's side. Also from her father's side is Irish, German, and Lithuanian.

She was inspired by her dad to become a rock singer, as her dad used to sing her songs, when she was younger, using his Guitar. During High School she created her own band called Middleground, which didn't receive popularity except from local ground.

As she grew older, around fourteen, she started playing in Philadelphia Clubs. When she reached the age of sixteen, she joined the R&B Alanta-based trio Choice, which included Chrissy Conway of the Christian girl group ZOEgirl.

Choice signed up with LaFace Records and created a soundtrack for Kazaam, the soundtrack song was called Key to my Heart. Choice then broke up after recording an unreleased album. Pink then stayed with LaFace records and became a solo act.

My Review:
******************

1) Stupid Girls
********************
"Stupid Girls" is said straight away and then joined with the brill chorus which is unforgettable. The Lyrics are really easy to memorize and the video to go with this song is ok. Anyway this song is up-beat and perfect to listen to. The song is groovy, what I mean is that everyone loves it; the people who hate must have no sense in music.

2) Who Knew
*******************
At the start the music is very sub tile. The music is very low and soft and pretty quiet which speeds up and up-beats when it gets to the chorus. And then it slowly quietens again for the verse. The voice of Pink's is not out of tune it's really great. And her voice doesn’t go high pitch or low, it stays the same which can be good, her voice is not loud but not quiet. She sings somewhere in the middle, which is good for the verses then she makes her voice slightly louder during the chorus and much more louder in the end chorus. Not a song you could dance to but great to sing a long to.

3) Long Way To Happy
****************************
The music at the start makes it sound as if it's going to be a nursery rhyme. Her voice is barely heard in the verses, and the bridge, but the chorus blasts its way out of the speakers and into your ears. The music also gets louder at the chorus. But the problem with this song is that it's hard to hear what Pink is singing and therefore making it hard to sing a long to the song. Also this is not a groovy tune, what I'm trying to say is that you wouldn't really be dancing to this song. This song would be perfect to sing a long or do karaoke but on the other hand it's hard to remember the word and know what she is singing.

4) Nobody Knows
************************
The piano at the start brings you ever so slowly up to the first verse. You can just hear what Pink is saying but not perfectly. You can only just about hear "nobody knows, nobody knows!" This song would be perfect to listen to in the car or sing a long to it but you wouldn't really dance to it or move to it as the music is not perfect for it. The piano is the only musical instrument throughout the song. This proves that it's not a great song as when you see people playing a piano they aren’t actually making good sounds as the Guitar would.

5) Dear Mr. President
**************************
The start of the song is quiet which it is all the way through, the lyrics are like the same as you would write a letter. She starts off with "Dear Mr. President". And then she carries on like you would with a letter. And then the chorus comes and the song gets slightly louder. Personally this song is pretty boring and not something I would listen too. But this shows off her voice no matter if it's a sub tile song like this one or an up-beat one like "Stupid Girls"

6) I'm Not Dead
************************
This song starts off really quiet and then the music blasts out towards you then it goes quiet therefore you hear Pink's voice perfect. Then the chorus comes which isn't that good and then the 2nd verse comes. The verses are pretty quiet so all you hear is the voice. The chorus is good as it's extraordinarily loud compared against the verses. The bridge "I'm not dead just..." is really good as all you can hear is a guitar. The instrumental is really groovy and really good and loud. Along with the chorus it's really up-beat. After the instrumental stays at the same volume when the chorus comes in and Pink has to scream the words.

7) 'Cuz I can
******************
The start make the song sound as if it's going to be really good but then all of a sudden Pink's voice comes in which don't make the verse any good but personally it's really good as it plays up until the chorus which set's it really perfectly. The chorus don't sound as if it'll be a chorus it sounds as if it's a bridge, the best bit to show this is at the end as all the music gets ever so loud like a bridge should and then the music stop and then goes slowly and quietly.

8) Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely)
**************************************
This song is perfect to go on after "'Cuz I Can" as it follows sort of the same cool sound. This song is groovy especially at the start. Pink's voice is heard clearly but it's slightly muffled with the music. Especially the chorus. Personally this is a great song but I would prefer to list to either "'Cuz I Can" or "Stupid Girls". You can hear the drums behind her pretty clear.

9) U and Ur Hand
***************************
This song gets stuck in my head straight away! The lyrics are really easy to learn, I know them all off by heart. The start is pretty cool as it's rocking. The music has a rhythm to it. The verse is good and it leads perfectly up to the chorus which blasts out at you and then slowly quietens down.

10) Runaway
************************
The start of the song is very sub tile and not brill the music is easily heard over Pink's voice. She is soooo much better singing a more pop/rock song than this very sub tile and enormously boring song. "Runaway" is heard quite a few times which is pretty good as it's perfect for the title. This song is totally rubbish especially since it's after "U and Ur Hand"!

11) The One That Got Away
**********************************
The guitar at the start sets the mood of the song. This is a great song but not as great as "Stupid Girls". If I took my time to learn the words people would be seeing me singing to this song but considering I'm a bit caught up with work (my dad's work I should say) I don't have the time. The mood of the song is happy but at other bits where the guitar isn't used as much, the tone of the mood slips away and turns slightly unhappy. The more you listen to the words of the song you feel upset towards the person as someone they probably loved slipped away. This song would be good at a funeral and setting the mood perfectly.

12) I Got Money Now
*****************************
The use of the guitar is perfect to make this song run after "The One That Got Away" but on the other hand, it’ll be really difficult to learn the lyrics as Pink's voice is hidden in between the music of the guitar making this song which could have been great, into a total rubbish song!!!

13) Conversations with My 13 Year Old Self
*****************************************
The music at the very start is hardly anything. The repetition of “Conversations with my 13 year old self” is concluded after 3 repeats. The music over powers pink’s voice. This is not a brill song but it is something that I would sing along too. The song’s lyrics make you believe you are 13 again and it shows how their problems can affect everyone or certain people. It shows that 13 is the start of people’s teens and that can affect quite a lot of people. Personally I would listen to this to soothe me after an argument

14) Fingers
*************
The music is really catchy at the start. Then it repeats it’s concluded melody all the way through the song. Pinks voice has a threatening side to it which is perfect in this sort of song. This is the sort of song I would dance to. “I let my fingers do the walking” makes this song really good and you want to know what Pink is talking about! I love this song a lot and I like following the lyrics and sing them out while listening to this sort of music. If Pink released this song she’ll go straight to no.1 for at least 2 weeks!

15) Centerfold
**************
The music with the guitar makes this song a really good rock sound, I love it! Though on the other hand all I can hear is the music and not music of the mumble of lyrics. Though on the other hand I hear “Centerfold” repeated a lot of times in which I think is the chorus. I love this song so much to not care. This song would easily go up to no.1 definitely!

16) I Have seen the rain
**********************
This song is soooo not great to go on after “Centerfold”, especially since “Centerfold” is a rock sort of song and “I Have Seen the Rain” is so much of a sub tile and slow and peaceful song. Though on the other hand I think Pink wanted this song to be put in as at the start she does a little introduction on the song and she talks about her dad who went to Vietnam and died there and this is he’s song that he wrote. So on the other hand it’s a lot better. Though still it wouldn’t be able to get to no.1!

The cover of the case
******************
The cover is a bit crazy as Pink is posed in a side view sort of thing and there is lights over her head as if it’s a crown. What she is wearing is pretty good as it’s a rose jacket and her pinky whitish hair is just seen through the lights.
